What the hell?

Pledge, etc.

[LMNO]

Since when did cowass get put on the pledge list?

He's not nearly as annoying as ***.

I'm not gonna take the pledge on cowass. 

However, that shouldn't really make a difference, as I've never responded to his posts anyway.

[Jasper]

Righto.  I'm pledging both because I think the forums would benefit from thier abscence.

[Dr. Cow Ass]

Do you realize that everytime I make a comment(wheter it's spam/trolling or not) the board is automatically spammed with five other people who make "pledge" post. Any annoyance I may cause on a thread is multiplied becuase it's followed by several "pledge" post that make these things uneccasrily long.

I uninetentionally tricked these boards into spamming itself.

You can't teach that.

So does anyone have ideas for other angles along these lines?  I'd like to have bigger guns than one-line memes, all we'd need is a paragraphs that identify with people deeply then use that to make them think.

I included CowAss for his tendency to use rants as a means to attack the ranter.

Like that's ever stopped us before.

Are you about to start another one of your "It's not fair to pick on shitheads" trips?

Felix, interesting thoughts there about how we look into other people and see.

I tend to see us as ants sometimes.

[Jasper]

Ants are better organized.

You look at someone, and you see a charachter.  A personality with identity and uniqueness.  Then you look into their eyes, though, and if you look hard enough you won't see a person, so much as an animal, an ape.  Not inhuman, but natural and elementally human.  For a moment you can glimpse what you really are just by observing another intimately enough.  It's trancelike, staring deep at someone's eyes.  You get an intuition of what they're thinking and feeling.  You know them.  It's impossible to think you're hot shit when you're staring at your best friend and seeing a mammal, and knowing inwardly that you're one of those.  Some of us get to a point at which we've accepted it and embraced it, and begin to see laughter in everything. 

Have you ever watched people doing people things, then superimposed your perceptions with the fact that they're all apes?  It makes anything absurd.  But why would something so normal be absurd?

That's the key.  Everything is absurd.  Even boring things.

I find myself coming closer to observing things like this more and more each day.  Especially when observing my kids.  They're just like chimpanzees, rolling on the ground fighting over nothing.  And everything.

It's absurd and yet makes infinite more sense than anything else out there, really.  Apply that observation to what astounds you and you'll find you understand it just that much better.

[Jasper]

Of course it's the only thing that makes sense.  It's human.
