" It's just that Depeche Mode were a bunch of optimistic loveburgers."

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

"Holes of Regret"

The technical term for glory holes in Tuscon.

No, those would be "holes of loss".

I thought that was PDX on account of Nigels.

No, no...We're hungrier down here.  And it's a desert, you know.  Lotsa bad things happen in the desert.  Best not to talk about it.

If anyone cares, my idea for the junkyard seance is taking time to cook, the stupid thing. WORDS, Y U NO COME OUT RIGHT?
"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."

So, start a thread, and puke it out.

I have found that cheap synthetic valium helps with this.

It's almost to the point I can do that, but it would be like horking up half-chewed pizza.

Since is a fun jumble at this point, I'll let thing flow and bump the odd topic every so often.

Me too.  It's a good idea, and I look forward to it.



I think my AMAZE-O-MATIC QUIP GENERATOR 3000 is broken.  It doesn't seem to be saying what I want it to say.

"Monkey programming is self-correcting.  It defaults to MAIN, and simians will drop back on all fours if you let them."

They'll drop back on all fours even if you DON'T let them; it is their nature.  They are primates, after all, weaponized apes, and they have a very clear idea of what is expected of them.  They will join one or more packs, adopt the beliefs of the pack entirely and without question, and work diligently to make sure that primates whose asses smell differently SHUT THE FUCK UP.  This can be done via politics, social pressure, or actual violence and/or warfare.  They in fact prefer the latter two.

And when the generation in question croaks, they will be replaced by identical primates, and nobody will smell the difference.  Extremism breeds extremism, and to be recognized as an alpha - or hell, just a loyal member of the pack - the primate must be MORE extreme than those around him.

The load of all this accumulated shit will force ANYONE on all fours.  Even you.  Even me.  Think about it:  there is at least ONE subject in life about which you are an extremist.  I know *I* have at LEAST one, and I'm a Goddamn Holy Man™.

As a result of this universal assbaggery, the overton window in ANY complex society will slide one way or the other, doesn't matter which, until "common sense" is just a blurry dot in the distance, and moderation is but a memory.

Primates LIKE this shit.  If they didn't, they wouldn't PAY for it.  Not joking here.  Observe America...We PAY rich people to STEAL from us, and we call anyone who doesn't like it a "socialist" or some such shit.  "NOT ONE OF US!  NOT ONE OF US!  SCREEEEEEEEEEECH!  Someone throw some shit at that guy, he made fun of our alpha!"

You Goddamn monkeys make me sick.  If any of you had any civic virtues at all, you'd be up a watertower with a high powered rifle, Building the Dream.

That's all I have to say, so everybody shut up.

My America was more or less in place before I even got there.  I was born into this world to people who had a pretty substantial America already.  They made sure I didn't see too much ugliness, they did their best to wallpaper the Truth from my eyes.  They did it out of love, to be quite fair.  And who wouldn't want to shield their child from all that is outside their America? 

Years later, when I took over my America from them, I discovered that you needed constant vigilance and maintenance in order to keep America working.  You stop taking out the trash, forget to do the laundry a few times, stop replacing batteries in the smoke alarms, and the next thing you know, America is a terrible place to be living in.

I've heard some people make their own America.  That sounds pretty damn hard, and I have to respect that.  I've been remodeling pretty extensively, but sometimes I think razing it and starting from scratch might be the easiest thing to do.  But what would my America be, then?
