Absurdity Is Always An Answer

itchy
I wish I had a dollar for each time I've read, "I don't have a horse in this race, but ..." over the past week
monitron
itchy: you should slowly start trying to introduce new versions of that phrase
Katya
i don't have a horse in this race, but i do in my bed."
monitron
itchy: "I don't have a chili in this cookoff, but"
monitron
itchy: "I don't have an STD from this hooker, but"
itchy
there you go monitron ... we need to come up with new ways to say it
Katya
I don't have a penis in this vagina, but...
cheesoning
"I don't have a dong in this logo, but"
cheesoning
so close!
liquidindian
I don't have a cock in this arse, however...
liquidindian
Oh, you went the other way.
Big Jim S.
I don't have a body in this freezer...
monitron
I don't have a gerbil in this cardboard tube, although...
Katya
I don't have a rag in this molotov cocktail, but...
monitron
I don't have a concubine in this harem, nevertheless..
itchy
well here's my problem with the whole "I don't have a horse in this race" thing ... you see, they DO have a horse and they WANT that fucking horse to win BADLY ... but they don't want to look foolish should the horse lose
Katya
I dont have a racist in this lynch mob, but on the other hand...
cheesoning
I don't have a WHAT? in this HOO HA!, but...
itchy
maybe just change it ever so slightly to screw with people ... "See, I don't have a house in this race ..."

Only Way To Improve, I Suppose

Niteowl ive been in games where i'm pissed we lost, and it's like, 200 points
Niteowl and teams wherei lost by 800, and it's all good. i think yer right, it's down to chattiness. and taint jokes.sorry, GOOD chatty
itchy not neurotic chatty?Niteowl not verbal vomitus rammed in the ear with the bludgeoning end of a anti-social asstard
liquidindian Getting feedback, are you?
Niteowl yes, they are touchingly specific

Not The Movie.

Niteowl yeah, wtf CD
your team was faar better, i was surprised we kept it that close
sorry
i mean THEIR team was far better
last biggest gap i've experience was a 300-400 pt loss, which wasn't bad, or didnt' feel bad, at all
maybe it was all the ballsack jokes
c. d. chatty teams make it so much more fun
itchy ^ for all games
Cyrano Yeah, there ain't much worse than a quiet, losing L4D team.Niteowl chatty teams make me care so much less about the score
Cyrano In the online gaming sense.
Blood diamonds are obviously worse.

cyr and I were both brit lit majors, I think
Niteowl
so, that'd make you, cyr, and Dok all lit majors
Niteowl er, bit of a mixed bag, there.
Niteowl two cops and a doc
ralph
actually, it;s spydokcop, my dream job when I was nine.
the year before: firepilot.
Niteowl
it's like a failed Bochco pilot
i dont' think anyone mistakes you for a spy, ralph. it's Sergeant who still has some English accent quirks, even though he's never been to England, and a little bit too free with the nightstick; squirrelly and squidgy undercover cop who has frankly almost copped it twice ; alternatingly debonair and flustered doctor

Cyrano's Degrees

good work!

twig twug none of those books have words on the binding.
Niteowl
it's a poetical thing twig, you wouldn't understand
spruce
it's lie-brary
Gemmy
FAKE BOOKS BURN THEM!!!
twig twug
why does that disturb me so much.
spruce
because you found that book without a title on the binding in your father's library, when you were a boy. You took it down from the shelf and opened it, only to discover that _______________
twig twug
it was really a giraffe!
spruce-libs are my favorite
Niteowl
because they represent the faceless march of literature, of big L, the important canon, the ever growing mass of influence that pushes its way into the public psyche, private lives; also of the small l, the throw away, garbage fiction, the leave it on the train and never finish it fiction, the pot boilers, the 'thrillers', the pop-culture in written form with its lack of insight and instruction. Perhaps because it illustrates the insidious need to show off intellectual prowess by the display of books, and, even worse, the APPEARANCE of books. Or maybe you have a phobia of libraries.
cheesoning
...it had fallen on your foot minutes earlier.
GXG "it was one of those stupid Choose Your Own Adventure books where ever other choice left you crippled/dead/in a living hell of your own devising and it put you off reading so now you're an illiterate blowhard and now you've just gotten elected! Congratulations!"

looks like you have to show up to vote, but with secret ballots they can't prove that you actually voted
one phrase I saw was "compulsory turnout"
spruce http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_el…
$20 fine if you don't vote
of course you're not exactly getting people more informed as voters, just because you're making them vote
liquidindian No, but it's a start.
liquidindian I don't drive, so I know nothing about cars. But if I had to start driving tomorrow or else, I might do a bit of research on which one the brake is.

Occam's Switchblade

iquidindian Read a theory on twitter.
Apparently the Tea Party is doing well because you don't have a word as effective as 'bollocks' to shout when people spout, well, bollocks.
liquidindian "Balls" doesn't cut it.
spruce That's a charitable theory
spruce My theory is that the American voting public is made up of fickle, suggestible and easily frightened meatheads.

ralph
(a shambok is a crooked stick used to whack the wogs when you give them a shufti and they're misbehaving)

spruce
what industry do "proletariat-boot heel matching services" fall under?

Norman Goddamn Rockwell

Big Jim S.   
have you made the mistake yet of forgetting to cover him when you have the diaper off, cheese?
I did that once, my wife woke me up to change him, forgot to do that and his pee arced gracefully across the table, across the nightstand, and directly onto my wife's face
I told her it was karmashe told me to shut the fuck up
it was such a tender moment

spruce    101?frognuts    US-101. Our major highway freeway.
spruce    what's the appeal of walking under it?
frognuts    The trail goes right underneath.
The darkness. The hum and roar of the cars above. The cute girls that work at Google who jog by.
and it's nicer than walking across it.
spruce    that stinky, opaque garbage bag green water?flanked by sub-mediocre restaurants
waddled on by tubby, slack-jawed tourists
c. d.    spruce obv likes it too.

Planned Obsolescence

cheesoning
thing that bothers me most about the Wire season I'm in - all the burners just tossed to the ground. Lots of littering on that show.
Niteowl
yes, cheese, it's the littering of commodity electronics that most disturbed me in a TV show about urban decay, the plight of those imprisoned in an endless quagmire of suffering, violence, poverty, and addiction, and about the inevitable hopeless of living a life worth any meaning under the oppression of the de facto and de jure powers that be.

you always haven't?

spruce
how could I pity one so much greater than myself?

itchy
w.t.f.
Did Job have a large jet?or is that stephen baldwin's jet that i'm listening to in the background?
(that is one truly bizarre campaign)
wasn't there a clip of SB riding in the back of a pickup truck in the parking lot of some concert trying to preach to teens, and no one would give him the time of day

spruce
what's a realistic best-case scenario resulting from that campaign?
like maybe he gets some public speaking gigs at some churches or stars in some crappy Christian movies alongside Kirk Cameron

cheesoning
that's the move
this just in - people mock God!

spruce
I mean, if anything, this will make him even more toxic to mainstream Hollywood

cheesoningI think the goal is for him to eventually face off with restored muslims or buddhists in the octagon - no holds

Infinite Conundrum

itchy
i hear ya spruce ... it's mostly for me at this point ... my stomach is officially getting in the way of me doing things

Outside The Level Thinking

stresstwig
in any case, I know batman was a great game, but once poison ivy starts doing her thing, man does it turn into a slog fest
betaray
I have to spend all my time hating on the batman game, otherwise I can't get hard for the circle jerk
Niteowl
batman is an excellent game
stresstwig
don't get me wrong, I loved it.
but the first half was fantastic, and the second half was mostly mediocre rehash of the first half.
I thought it was gonna be a really cool rehash of the first half.
like when you have to do the first stealth room but without gargoyles?
but then that was the only room where that happened
and it was back to "remember this room? well now it has plants that are CRAAAAZY!"
"All hope is lost! there definitely isn't a different vent you have to climb through hey where are you going don't do that"
