So the Martians learned that raping their planet would be the key to liberty, as well lubing up their...spaceships? Which apparently don't need oil, but their ground transportation does?

And we laughed at the Soviets for their propaganda.

I love how the room suddenly gets quiet... I once saw a friend stagger off into the night to flag down a taxi, unaware that he had "C*NT" written on his forehead. Oh, how we laughed.

Wouldnt do that to this grouchypants.

I love Canada because we laugh at ourselves.

Reading the comments makes it a little harder to snark. He's autistic, and his sister taped and posted the video for him because he enjoys it so much:
"thank you so much, im trying really hard to support him, he really loves this. and i know he will continue this. "

So if he was just really stupid with no name for the source of his awkward behavior, THEN could we laugh?

wtf? are we laughing at this?
i dont think i want this on the sift.
i hope she finds who shes looking for, but this is not a spectacle for our amusement.

"Awake. Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day and choose the sign of your day; the day's divinity. First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach and cooled jeweled moon. Couples, naked, race down by it's quiet side. And we laugh like soft, mad children, snug in the wooly, cotton brains of infancy.
The music and voices are all around us."


He truly was an avant-garde poet.


Well I suspect he is largely regarded as a decent poet, backed up by music that was in harmony with his lyrics.

Great sift OP.

From ages of 10 to about 16 I did about 3-4 8.5hr trips a year to a family property: the music that made the trip most bearable at 3am was the doors.

Why don't we stop fooling ourselves?
The game is over, over, over

No good times, no bad times
There's no times at all
Just The New York Times
Sitting on the windowsill
Near the flowers

We might as well be apart
It hardly matters
We sleep separately
And drop a smile passing in the hall
But there's no laughs left
'Cause we laughed them all
And we laughed them all
In a very short time

Time
Is tapping on my forehead
Hanging from my mirror
Rattling the teacups
And I wonder
How long can I delay?
We're just a habit
Like Saccharin

And I'm habitually feelin' kinda blue

But each time I try on
The thought of leaving you
I stop
I stop and think it over

Goddam it, when I was his age we had to scroll up hill both ways! With our thumbs!! And it would snow outside!!! Assuming we HAD electricity!!!! And any cats we laughed at we had to FEED!!!!! ...and we didn't have those fancy "1"'s when we yelled...!! *waves cane*

Get off my l4wn!!

Mauz15,
I think the burden of proof here is on the religions. They are asserting something supernatural and I dont think its dogmatic to demand that they prove it somehow. As a previous poster pointed out, we laugh at the idea of grownups thinking santa claus is real, but when it comes to God we must somehow throw all rules aside and be agnostic.


Sure, but that does not mean you can automatically assume there is no flaw in your rationale for thinking god does not exist. One can be an atheist, but some think they are 100% correct, as if the logic behind it was flawless. There is a reason why Dawkins says he is 99.9% atheist or something along those lines. He does not want to cross onto the dogmatic line, but some people do. I was referring to the type of atheist that don't even bother to check if their argument makes sense. They are just atheist for so and so reason, don't even know the history of atheism, etc. The same way a believer claims certainty and they don't even bother to read the bible.

edit:
The key here is why do religions get a special treatment. Religions _may_ be right in the sense that anything could be right. But we are not agnostic about everything, and neither should we be. We normally have some yardstick by which to measure if something is likely enough to deserve to be taken seriously, but when it comes to religions suddenly we need to throw that stick away and just give God a 50-50 percent chance of existing...

LMFAHS. Hahaha.
Did you snap that photo yourself? I love that.


Yes. My gf and I were strolling through Albertson's late one night with a buzz and stumbled upon this piece of lazy-marketing gold. We laughed for a solid minute in the aisle.

Whats funny about that is he is very similar to a good friend of mine. We are both old school geeks who delve in all kinds of crazy things. He's big in robotics, we both do a lot of programming. But we are both very competitive in a lot of things, especially when it comes to shooters.

His last name is Savage. My first is Adam. He is about as anal retentive as Jamie here, and I'm a kid at heart like Adam on the show. It's so funny that we laugh about this show all the time. If we looked remotely like the two, I'd think there's some kind of doppelganger thing going on.

LOL, This is great! I operate the same. My wife calls me anal, we laugh about it. That was one of my hardest things to get past after getting married. Everything keeps getting moved, pencils mixed with the pens, mixed with the pencil crayons, mixed with the felt pens and so on... As an artist, I need everything beyond perfect so when I am working, I'm not thinking about organizing stuff. I'm distracted easily. Needless to say, since getting married, I haven't accomplished as much as I used to... lol, and now with kids... Oh..., the horror...!

EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT SPANKING IS MISSING THE POINT

I'm surprised he didn't threaten his son by saying, "if you act this way I'm going to post it on the internet so the entire world can laugh at you, like we laughed at the stoned kid after the dentist last week."

Oh man, parenting is in theory SO MUCH easier thanks to Youtube.
