Hitting people is great.

has any of you ever been hit with a barstool whilst having a solopsist conversation?

No, but I have gotten stomped by a steel-toed boot while being a snobby intellectual.


Does that count?

No.  I was holding the barstool.

You wouldn't have been wearing steel-toed boots, would you?

No.

My toe-caps are hidden in my trainers.  Aluminium too, so they don't weigh as much and I can run away quickly afterwards.

:thanks:

I think I saw trainers like those linked on here, actually.  Ages ago.  I was like "fuck yeah, getting me some of those".

Mainly because when I saw them, I was still doing bo staff practice and mine was extra long and kept stubbing my feet.  :cry:

Clumsily put, Let's say we were in a bar, having a few pints, and talking about the nature of Universe.

You point out that most of what we consider "matter" is made up of empty space; the distance between a nucleus, it's electrons, and the nearest adjacent atom is comparatively large; why, that barstool over there shouldn't even be considered a solid!

I respond by saying that as far as we can actually prove, that barstool might simply be a hallucination, for we're not actually seeing the barstool, we're processing electric signals in our heads generated by our optic nevrves that claim certain wavelengths of ligh have bounced off an object, but none of that says anything about whether or not the barstool actually exists.


Then ECH comes along, picks up the barstool, and proceeds to beat the shit out of us with it for being such pretentious assholes.

That's the real thing, right there.  It beats the hell out of that esoteric crap down in the Black Iron Prison.

Heh.  Would it surprise you to know that most people around here embrace both?

Not really, sir.  Very little surprises me anymore.

The barstool experiment in action - from the Past! (March 30, 1906 according to the site)



Check out the rest of the cartoons from this series there. It's like TGRR found a time machine and became the inspiration for a cartoon.
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.
