@Tymbrwulf
You excellently executed an example of an efficient exposition effectively expressing your extreme emnity of these eccentric ecclesiastic e-tards.

expertly played.

What's the more important issue here:
1. The murder of 100,000 innocent people by a coalition of top governments.
2. An eccentric pissy hacker that swiped some Swedish side-boob.
Like kranzfakfa said, vegetarian painter was Hilter.
By your logic that means that the Nazi party probably did great stuff!
Back to the main issue tho.

Definitely a cool idea. I can see myself being an old eccentric buying one of these one day.

It's obviously not drawn to scale. They exaggerate the eccentricity by a factor of a million or something. If they drew it to scale you wouldn't be able to see the difference between perihelion and aphelion.

The man in the Second Chance t-shirt is Richard Davis, the creator of the bullet-proof vest. He has shot himself point blank in the chest something like 200+ times. I'm from the small Michigan town (Central Lake) where he based his company, Second Chance Body Armor, which was sold several years ago. When we were in grade school during Halloween he would lead our costume parade through the town wearing a full Darth Vader outfit and riding on a horse. He used to drive a camouflage Mercedes. Eccentric, but cool guy.

In reply to this comment by peggedbea:
a. if he's a troll, you're only feeding him with this.
b. he's a not a troll, i've met the guy, he's a muck-racker, a true eccentric, possibly a tinge drug fried, but no troll.
c. i despise this "let's ban/reinstate/ban choggie and once he's gone lets devote umpteen sift talk posts to listing what we like/don't like about him and attempt to sum up his character based on the internet comments he left, most of which we don't even understand. let's be sure to talk about him like he's not here. let's make sure to really suck while we're doing it"
d. it's basically come down academics vs. eccentrics. choggie being the eccentric, the sift being largely academic sort of personalities. he's not good at articulating his intentions for you, and they're often misunderstood.
e. seriously, blankfist has been baiting burdy with racist comments for MONTHS. he harasses people with asshole dick-ish comments constantly. he abuses his crown privileges to fuck with people who OBVIOUSLY don't appreciate it. and he most likely creates tons of joke sock-puppets. i would never ever vote to ban that douchebag. but the idea that we have a collective shit-gasm over choggie's bad behavior while simultaneously choosing to collectively ignore/encourage it out of assgravy over there is one of the reasons why i will ALWAYS vote against banning/siftquisistions . and the reason i think you're all a bunch of fucking assholes.

i am on my way to texas now.
FUCK woman you make me sweaty!
prepare for babymaking!
oh wait..i was part of that wasnt i?
well now i just feel like a total dick.

I talk about race because it pisses me off to see the kinds of racism that people are willing to tolerate these days and on this site. You do nothing to help by brushing it aside, and you achieve even less when you preach the gospel of STFU. And why the fuck would I need to be 'called upon' to speak my mind on something I care about?

You say I have no authority, and that no one wants to hear me and that I'm borrowing grief from black brothers? (Wow, did you really just say that? Yikes!) Three intimidating and fallacious arguments that all want me quiet. Why?

Why is it so important to you (and pennypacker and qm) that I shut up on race? You haven't asked me or tried to shame me into not talking about politics, so what's the big deal about race? I'm honestly asking. And why would I need authority? Or your permission? And why would you assume that I speak out solely for the approval of others? And why is it that you think it so wrong for a white guy to stand up for his black brothers? I think you are very, very misguided when you say things like this. I think you should rethink this. I think you should stand up for your black brothers, and they should stand up for you.

As for banning, I don't care. I found his act pretty stale, but it was easy enough to step around. I've got no objections to letting the old coot back in. My point here is not to justify the banning, but just to make it clear that, yes, the dude did have some issues with race, and, no, that kind of shit is not alright, not even if you say it in a cutesy, folksy, eccentric manner. I'm certainly not calling him a hooded, pitchfork wielding klansman - because that kind of overt racism is no longer culturally accepted - if that's what you think. Choggie's racism was less overt than that for sure.

A leading question*: How did the overt racism of yesterday transition into less overt racism of today?? Because people stood up and decided not to tolerate it anymore.

How will the less overt racism of today transition into the even less overt racism of tomorrow? I'll give you three guesses. (hint: same answer as the first question)

What level of racism is acceptable in your eyes?

*the only kind of question a lawyer knows how to ask
>> ^schmawy:

Choggie often used the term "passive aggressive", and I think that for the most part is correct. The small contingency of self-satisfied and judgmental members who use their influence to control content and members disgust me. And he complained about "copypasta" and I see why now, because the first thing you do is run a search. Slimy as a fucking lawyer or angry girlfriend.
Choggie did boatloads to celebrate black culture. You and your crew are so eager to prove how enlightened you are, how right you are, you fly into a tizzy over the slightest invocation of race. Who called on you to perform this duty? Who told you we needed it? Race is only an issue when you whiteys start borrowing grief from our black brothers. Do you think they want your help? Do you really think someone saying "nigger" "spook" or "monkey" is going to cause the Sift to collapse? Jesus Christ. Take it somewhere else.

I'm willing to allow Doctor Who some dodgy/convenient science here and there if it helps smooth over plot points. It is, after all, Doctor Who. But I entirely agree, Tennant was pretty bad.

The Christopher Eccleston season (9th doctor?) was excellent. At the time I felt was refreshingly different TV, he balanced both the characters eccentric and serious sides very well. Much unlike his replacement who just seemed to be buzzing on a persistent cocaine high... and this new guy seems to be much the same.

I just don't get it, is this sort of thing popular in the UK?

Ok try this at home kids-

2 shots espresso of yer choice
16oz Cafe Du Monde
1-1/4Cup respectively, mixed, half n' half & heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 Tbsp or to taste, Ghirardeliia, Oopershnootzen, or whatever hardcore chocky powder you decide to pay too much for..

1 container big enoough to hold it all
*sm Agave syrup
sm sugar of yer choice
sm topping

Make the espresso and Cafe Du Monde according to preference-(mine's respectively with a standard sotvetop macchinetta for espressa,and simply drip through filter the CDM)

Inna separate accommodating sauce pan and stirring constantly, heat the mixture of H$H/HWC,and sugar(s) to just prior to boiling, the thing will want to rise up outta the saucepan...(don't be alarmed-turn off oven, light fuse, get away)this should be sufficient to produce a thickish creamy head, no unmixed chocky

add the milk stuff to the coffee combo, serves one strung-out fiend or four no-jaggers.

Black coffees' great as well, but some days for the sake of yer eccentric self or some other perosn yer trying to please, you have to go all-out.

Starbucks??? Ain't got shit on the above what with their syrup flavours and their fancy machinery and their wi-fi and New York Times...they sell cd's in Starbucks don't they??.....Like Bob Dylan's last album?? $90 coffee cups..Hrummmmph!

Everyone's weird. By a certain age you begin being un-compromising. Seems like a nice guy, but eccentric.

Running also means less acting time. All of these films are pretty dreadful. And I don't think we saw his running in the awful Collateral.


No way, Tom Cruise's movies are awesome. He may be eccentric, but I like pretty much every one of his movies.
