It's an interesting take on normalcy nonetheless.

Not so much a take on normality as a side-swipe at the Madness Industry.

Derp.

Well, i read his post completely wrong.
Also, as you said, Derp.
I'm going home to wash my shoes while feeling like an idiot.

At least you're a biped who can admit to being mistaken. I gotta respect that.

Poop on your shoes is not a calamity, it is an opportunity.  While said poop is fresh, go to another forum and scuff your beshatted feet on the carpet.

Real life fuck ups make AWESOME trolls.

Do you find yourself smiling?
Humming catchy tunes?
A little too much bounce in your step?
You may suffer from Happiness.
Ask your doctor if new depressinex tablets are right for you.

Whoa.  Shit just got real.

No... her incoherent screed is just full of random posturing that's totally irrelevant. I have no idea what my level of education, future plans, or her "industry professional" status has to do with my comment or her alleged authority to declare it "wrong".

Rong, sometimes it's hard to hate you.     Bad monkey.

Thanks, Kai!  That's relevant to  my interests

The Discordian may agree with the Taoist but add, as an aside, that madness is just too much fun to dispense with...

Would he/she?  Do you really think so?  Seriously?

I guess I do. Yes.

But I certainly don't mean madness in the sense of mental illness (I agree that's no laughing matter at all). I mean it in the sense that a Buddhist may call happiness madness with a big grin on his face.

So once a fucking gain it is you ascribing random meanings to words and expecting everyone else to intuit what you mean.

Well, there's no doubt that's an Authentic Holist post alright.

Thread is now on life support.

Apparently they also share the same symptoms of an orgasm:

Dull headache
Weakness
Dizziness
Nausea
Vomiting
Shortness of breath
Confusion
Blurred vision
Loss of consciousness

If any of those occurred when I was orgasming I'd see a doctor immediately.

Seriously? None of those? You got shipped a faulty orgasm unit.

Well, this is just from a free online dictionary:

1. The quality or condition of being insane. See Synonyms at insanity.
2. Great folly: It was sheer madness to attempt the drive during a blizzard.
3. Fury; rage.
4. Enthusiasm; excitement.

And I did lead with that story...
