Except....except what? Where's the beginning of that sentence?

I think he's saying it's not all that remarkable. I see where he's coming from. It's not all that rare to see it happen, and it's almost certainly not intentional - if it was, it's very greedy and won't pay off in 99 tries out of a hundred, where you end up wasting a corner. His expectationg were probably unduly raised because the corner isn't so sublime as it is fortunate. That sort of thing just happens.
I find it to be like "Heh, that was lucky." You could watch a week of football only in the english leagues and see probably 20 or 30 things that are far more interesting because they're intentional and take skill and quick thinking. That's not including the skilled football leagues in the rest of europe. I think that's what he means, there's hundreds of things that are 'better' if you actually keep up with/watch football.


Thank you for clearing me up. I was quite drunk when I wrote that and couldn't be arsed explaining me further.

Except everyone who's played football for over two years in europe in little league has seen someone do this, it's quite good. Won't ever upvote this though...

Ya see, now if I had shot this, it would look like ass. But YDJ's version is sublime, thought-provoking and most important, watchable. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I envy your eye, dude-mang.

You haven't watched 30 Rock? It's sublime.

You haven't watched 30 Rock? It's sublime.

Is it wrong to think that I'm better than everyone else because I revel in the delectable goodness that is encompassed in the sublime sensation of consuming Kashi during brunch in the sun room? You're just jealous, with your sweat-stained collar and five o'clock shadow at midday while you meander into Taco Bell for the latest in dysentery-inducing bile wrapped in a dampened tortilla. Jealous, I say!

That was sublime. Why does the best news have to come from a comedy show

You're a really smart guy and from all accounts pretty darned talented, so I really don't understand this almost obsessive loathing that you have for anything that remotely resembles a group effort, i.e. collectivism. If I didn't hope to have a beer with you and "tie on one" someday I wouldn't even bother responding to your anti-collectivist, lone cowboy diatribes.

I think you're...kind of shooting yourself in the foot by ascribing a blanketed evil intent on everything that seems to involve two or more people working together to achieve a common goal.

I mean, even your movie, man. Look at your movie. You didn't do that all yourself. You couldn't have. You probably did a lot of it, and I'm not diminishing that effort, buy if it were left to you and only you to write, direct, produce, perform in, light, record, film, score, edit, and promote...you'd be working on it to this very day, and it wouldn't be nearly as good. And that kind of cooperation, that group effort for a greater good, applies to almost everything, not just movies.

And I'll make you a bet, anything that you can name, any goal, any achievement that you think you and I could do on our own, if I have one person to help me in reaching that goal, I'll get there before you. If I have ten people I'll get there even faster. And if I have a hundred, faster and greater still.

I know I'll lose some of those bets, but I'm confident that I'll win enough of them to make that loss insignificant.

Gonna watch "The Hurt Locker" tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Hmmmm. A lot to digest there, Kubrick.

Sort of neutral on J.D. Salinger. Only read Catcher in the Rye and one of his short stories, Banana Fish. I heard rumors that he and Thomas Pynchon were one in the same, and I really enjoyed Gravity's Rainbow, but I doubt the rumor was true after just now googling it.

Terrance Malick I really, really, really fucking like. I thought The Thin Red Line line was sublime. The New World, Days of Heaven, Badlands...I genuinely loved each and every one of those films. Each would deserve a post of its own for me to share my critique. The man has a gifted eye.

Gilmore Girls? Maybe I'll check it out. Doubtful. I really thought you knew me better than that, because from your description, it's not my kind of show at all. I don't really watch much television, especially series oriented shows. I only watch it now because I'm living with mamason and the thing's almost always on, or tempting me to turn it on. When I finally sell the house and get the fuck out of Roswell, I won't have a television in my home for a long, long time, not even for Netflix vids.

Few people detest...nay, despise the "corporate cog" scene more than I.

I thought you would have known that by now, too.



I was being facetious. I know you aren't the type to like Gilmore Girls, that's why I used them as an example, because they were so typical American fluff with typical pro-topical issues storylines. Entertainment Weekly and Time Magazine thought the show was fantastic. How lame is that? And they like it for its quick dialog. Really?

My point was that just because you're not pro-social doesn't mean you're wrong. There are a lot of great people who were recluses, and that is distinctively not pro-social behavior. The get along gangs need us contrarians. We like individualism over collectivism. Martin Luther King Jr didn't ask that we judge a group by the content of their character.

So I take it you have a problem with recluses like J.D. Salinger and Terrence Malick?

I hear the writers of Gilmore Girls are all there to get along and do whatever the group wants. You'd probably like that show. So unoffensive and vanilla. A real non-think piece for the lowest common denominator with ample pop-culture references to make you think you're thinking. "Hey, that was a reference to Alec Baldwin's estranged relationship with his daughter! I got that because I read People Magazine! I'm well read!"

They tackle tough situations like relationship topics and social classes and whatever else the pro-social corporate censors allow them to. Being a team player means fitting in and doing your job. And that's just the sort of slave "corporate cog" message you can expect. Here's your minimum wage you fought so hard for ensuring only corporations could afford to pay the wage, now get back to your fluorescent lit hole and mass produce for them! And be sure to watch their 1984 approved tv shows that tell you you're right for believing what they believe. So say we all.

"I just think that "pro-social" message was bogus and ill-conceived."

Because "anti-social" messages would have served the children so much better.

THIS IS NOT PORN. THIS IS A PARODY VIDEO OF OLD LADIES FROM A REPRESSIVE GENERATION LIBERATING THEMSELVES IN THE MOST RIDICULOUS FASHION. AND FUCKING GOOD FOR THEM.
BRAINS APPOLOGY POST SAID IT BEST
titty babies are traumatized by vaginas that are not attached to porn stars.
the polling system is built into the site. and don't even get me started on the number of videos that got mass amounts of votes for being sexy. even if the content itself wasnt intended to strictly titillate, the reason these videos made it to the top was the male sift brain sexualizing it. there is even a video clip from an actual soft core porn vid, allowed to stay without the fuss.
and the talk of bannings, RIDICULOUS.


Sorry peggedbea, parody or not, it fits the definition-While not always universally accepted, definitions are not like assholes. Everybody does not have one....unless, perhaps, they have free-associative programs running in the background which convince the semantic mechanics otherwise. No brain, there is no polling system built into the site permitting posts containing nude women masturbating and offering up macro shots of their cooters!!
Sexy is fine, always has been, and given the amount of shut-in, socially dysfunctional WoW generation males on the site, who spell boobs with a "W" and have only ever touched their own cocks much less had any intimacy with a female of the species, I am surprised there are not more posts from these developmentally disabled.

We have issue with the "male sift brain" sexualizing anything....more like the kind of antics of a monkey who, finding his habitat trampled upon by nosy tourists, throws shit at the nearest, then dances around whooping....

no one talked of banning..... I simply hobbled the abuser, as the powers afforded the status according to the stated guidelines offered.

I would like to take this opportunity to offer the most sincere apology imaginable in this current incarnation, if I offended ANYBODY'S divine sensibilities with my actions of yesterday.

I have sat in sackcloth and ashes for most of the day now, and have begun a rigorous regimen of self-induced flagellation to attempt some transubstantial effect worthy of the forgiveness I fear may never come. In order to amend my gross and wholly negligent abuse, I have devised the most grueling of tortures to follow in order to somehow sublimate my egregious ill-will and hatred for all of humanity and gOd herself, especially the vaginas, oh so wet and smelly, pulsating this way and that....

I only hope this will be enough for me to someday be welcome into her massive benevolent vagina rebirth facility, in Detroit's seedy underbelly.

I was slow to pick up on this one, but once I stopped and listened to the lyrics, I realized what a great job they did - And yes, I know the Christmas lights border it tacky - I think it is supposed to be!

*promote the sublime goodness!

Another Great Deception

Loose translation:

Imbecile monkey robot humans once again surrender their power to the whore, Babylon.
Front row seats to yet another iteration of, A minority fist-fucking the majority...

No more land to conquer, enslave the planet and keep a few breeders....Give them bread and circuses, just enough to eat, monopolize any substance which would have anything to do with expanding their minds, tell them what and how to think with our own programming, continually re-write history, keep them exhausted with endless toil while deluding those who would think with worthless trivia, and those who would not think with more ignorance....Don't forget to add a dash of mortality and fear of death, with a pinch of hope for a world where everyone may one day be privy to hidden knowledge or the secrets of the universe....And you've got yourself a fine planet where power, sublimation, and control is the gold standard of social evolution.


Fuck, where's a goddamn time machine when you need one!?

A wonderful presentation, but somewhat misleading. One could get the sense that the Greeks were unfamiliar with reincarnation, when this could not be farther from the truth. The Pythagoreans were propounding such a doctrine long before Alexander, and Plato--Aristotle's teacher--seems to have made it a central point.

That said, Aristotle himself was skeptical, and may well have passed this skepticism down to his famous pupil. Though reincarnation played an important role in many other aspects and ancestors of Greek culture. One might note the Aeneid, Book 6 of which contains a sublime account of reincarnation.

The point, I suppose, is that there is not necessarily one myth playing an important role in a society, but many in conflict, even when one might have dominance.
