Illuminatus! Vs. Atlas Shrugged

“I’m guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk,” Charles Wick said. “It was very complicated.”

“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.”
― Assata Shaku

If one had to pick one of those to read which would be the one least likely to render oneself unfit for human company?

Atlas Shrugged was written by an author who looks like a man in drag.

Coincidentally, RAW and Shea actually wrote Illuminatus! while dressed in drag.

That was an excellent comparison.

Also, I forgot about Telemachus Sneezed. I'll have to reread Illuminatus again when I feel up to it. Actually it might be fun to read now that I've been here for over 2 years. Different perspective on it. Illuminatus made me go, "Oh, yeah, Discordianism. I remember that." Combine that with unrelated follow the links and end up finding about EggGASM about a few months or so after reading it, and then you got someone in their living room thinking, "Erm... Nephew Twiddleton works as a screen name, I think."

I have to get used to the idea of you as Krang. I saw your avatar and thought, wtf, the previous screen said Waffle Iron was the last one to post in this thread. Who the hell is this?

It is, as always, subject to change, but I think I'll be Krang for a while, in the hopes that people will read my posts in his voice.

Jesus, I haven't heard that voice in my head since probably 1990.

Mine are subject to change too, but they're all going to be self womps until I get through the list. I'd change the current one today or tomorrow, but I really like the Book of Revelation as well as derive the wrong sort of enjoyment from Jack Chick comics.

I don't even remember Krang's voice. :sad:

My memory was mostly correct, but I forgot about the belching noises.
