Goddammit, I wish I'd never posted this stupid thread. 

Eris is a MOTHERFUCKING BITCH. 

Or the fairies are. Or the Grand Sense of Humor that Rules the Universe. Somebody thinks I'm funny.

Since wandering into the Discordian pie-stand, I have observed the following:

-Weird shit happening....

I would say I like what you wrote, but considering how wonderfully friendly some people are around here to me no matter what I post, I'll refrain.

Here's a couple answers I've heard from Christians who believe Satan is everywhere waiting to get you (although I'm translating from God to Goddess, and from Satan to Greyface).  Choose one:

1) If your heart were truly right with Goddess, Greyface wouldn't be able to touch you like that.  If Greyface is able to get you that much, the reason you're having so many problems is because you aren't right with Goddess.  Your problems mean you're doing Bad!

2) Now that you're with Goddess, Greyface doesn't like it.  So Greyface is really going after you to try to get you back.  That's why you're having so many problems.  Your problems mean you're doing Good!

Thanks, that's, um. Nice.

Unfortunately, this was never intended to be a serious thread. Had I lurked longer, I would have discovered the Open Bar or a similar thread and posted it there instead. I misinterpreted the word "rants" in the description of the "Or Kill Me" forum; that's all. In addition, as it's been pointed out, tone carries really fucking poorly over the internet.

I have a cat. I love my cat dearly. I love him dearly, because (among numerous other reasons) he is a HORRIBLE BASTARD who does really cruel things to my limbs and furniture, and makes an even bigger mess of my apartment than I do of my own.

I repeat: I love my cat. BECAUSE HE IS A HORRIBLE BASTARD. BECAUSE HE CREATES CHAOS IN UNEXPECTED AND HILARIOUS WAYS. I'm proud of his ingenuity, delighted by his energy, glad of the company even when I'm cursing him out and calling him names. The entertainment value after the fact is usually worth whatever lost sleep and inconvenience are caused by Yggi's behavior. If he's too quiet, I worry.

This is what dog people do not understand about cat people. If I were to go into a forum filled with non-cat-lovers and make a post about how Yggi dragged me back from the bring of sleep last night by jumping on my face and making crazy noises-- or how he slashed open another new bag of kitty litter all over my bed-- or how I had to take down most of the decorations in my apartment when he proved there was no high point he wasn't ingenious enough to reach-- they'd tell me to stop complaining. ""Wait-- so you WENT OUT AND GOT A CAT, and you are now complaining about a few messes and shredded sofas? Welcome to MISSING THE POINT, a place just south of WAAAAH." (In such a hypothetical instance, such a hypothetical response might be accused of MISSING THE POINT.)

There is complaining, and complaining. I generally complain more to make conversation than for any serious reason. I unfortunately did so here in such a way as to come across as totally serious, which I was in fact not. So, like, just putting that out there.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled threadjack. 

I was born a Dinosaur Shaman
and I'll die a Dinosaur Shaman

But, pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs.  You're a Pterosaur Shaman.  At best a Dinosaur Shaman heretic.

Maybe Pterodactyl Handler  converted to Pt. Shamanism from Dinosaur Shamanism after realizing how oppressive the latter faith was-- but s/he's still a little scared about the "Pit of Fire" that's supposed to await the heretic after death (I think in this faith it's something to do with volcanoes???) and is planning to make a hasty deathbed conversion back to D. Sham. before going to meet his/her Cold-Blooded Maker???

"God" sees what you're trying to do there, PH. It's a risky game you're playing. 

Calendula: Is not actually a troll.

Thats a shame.

Would you like to be one?

Well, I have been looking into various career options, lately. But how do I know if trolling is the job for me? 

Calendula: Is not actually a troll. Look elsewhere.

Venus On The Half Shell, it explains it quite clearly in the end.

Thanks for the rec, then-- will keep an eye out for it. : )

Ah, okay-- sorry, nothing came up when I searched for Eric.

I don't know exactly what happened, or why, but once upon a time very recently I was absolutely convinced that life on earth was the result of extraterrestrial interference.

Maybe that was just one of my weird dreams, though.

You might still be right.  Nobody knows for sure.

personally I would see the likelihood of that would be very, very, very low (though just for obvious practicality reasons - and there is no evidence of it and how would actually study that at this time) It's just not a practicle hypothesis at this time, and a little far fetched (though I would admit not 100 percent impossible)

now the idea that microbes could have first evolved on Mars then broke off to earth, now that makes a lot of sense.. since Mars was open to habitation earlier then the earth
and its more then possible that life is just easier to produce then we think.. just the right conditions and a small jolt
the problem lies that the right conditions, though they may not be very rare in the universe, the distances makes the opportunity to study it is quite difficult... though some answers may come from more core samples from Mars or if something really exiting happens with a probe their planing to send to Europa, though that is suppose to get off the ground in 2011 i heard they still having trouble with contamination concerns, and NASA made a lot of noise about it a few years ago then kind of stoped as of lately, which tells me at least there's something stalling the project

The thing about the "extraterrestrial seeds" problem is that it doesn't actually answer the question of "Why Did Life"; it just moves it to another starting point. It's not any easier to explain why life evolved on Planet Whatserface than it is to explain why it evolved on Earth, and in the end we'd probably come up with the same reasons anyway. 

--Calendula,
really needs to start reading about biology again!

*gets the giggles*


...Who is this Eric, and why do I really, really, really not want to be him all of a sudden? 

Dude, come on. Eris is just a metaphor. 

For what?

For your mom, maybe?

Thanks, Nigel. <3 I'm still learning.

  Dude, come on. Eris is just a metaphor. 

Ok, now that we've gotten that out of the way....

Tits or GTFO.

Here you go:

Aw... I was hoping it was a joke.  Oh, well. ^_^

But Payne... I thought what we had went beyond mere words.  That you could doubt my esteem... it hurts me, Payne... it hurts me.

(I did actually mean to comment and thank you for that-- sorry, I forgot! Thanks for that.   )

And cheers, Cainad-- and, pray tell: what, if any, is your relationship to Cain? It's a question I've been pondering on. 

Cheers, all! I love you, really, despite it all. (By and large, anyway. )

  Thanks, and stuff.
