I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG

An award from Crikey? I should sue. Meanwhile, a more respectable award is bestowed here, in the coveted “Whose behavior made you appalled?” category.

  4. Now it all makes sense:

    Did you do a lot of drugs in 2006?
    Not anywhere near as much as previous years, but they did have their place in the year, for sure.

  5. Sounds like this Liam hates everyone, except maybe Joey, his family, and that Canadian dude he spent time with in the USA.  Does that qualify as “equal opprotunity”, nihiliam, psychosis, or simple selfishness?

  6. Sorry, “nihiliam” should be “nihilism”.  I’m hoping what Liam has isn’t contagious.

  15. I noticed in Liam’s “Whose behavior made you appalled?” there was no mention of the head-lopping terrorists who regularly target women and children.

    Eh, he probably just forgot to mention it amidst all the rancor towards Howard, Bush, et al. Certainly proggs find terrorist behavior appalling, right?

    Right?

  18. So, you managed to appall a drug taking 25 year old Tim? 

    “To do list for 2007:  must set goals much higher!”

    I’ve always been bored out of my wits by Road to Surfdom (I have tried to find it interesting, and good, and all, I really have tried, ya know?), and the content of Larvatus Prodeo has always failed to live up to its ridiculous name.  Insightful?  Maybe for someone with no synapses firing.  Thoughtful and measured?  Only if you have no measuring implements to speak of.

    *Sigh*

    I suppose this is a reflection of our education system now:  if someone can type an entire paragraph they must be deep, and the paragraph must be worth reading.  Is that how blogs are being assessed?

    Sorry, I’m rambling, and being boring, but it genuinely perplexes me that certain other blogs are touted as being “must read”, yet I try and try these other blogs, and still find myself falling asleep after the first two sentences, or find myself wondering if there was a point, at all, and if so, where was it hiding. 

    *Sigh*

    Anyway, congrats on the end of year awards and everything Tim.  You can puff your chest out with pride, but only a little bit this time.

    Anyway, at Crikey, Larval Rodeo is displayed in both italics and underline? Mr. Blair rates only underline…

    I’m feeling very Milneish the moment—where’s Stephen Mayne that I might teach him that an absence of fonts makes the heart grow harder? Though no longer on staff, he is the founder of that waste of electrons, and I would fain thrash him soundly.

  28. I wonder if the appalled leftard calling himself Isildur’s Bane has any idea that JRR Tolkien was a very conservative Catholic and staunch and unwavering Monarchist? Or is aware of all the obvious Roman Catholic imagery in LOTR?

    Something tells me he saw the movie, but never read the book.

    I think you should wear “appalling” the Loony Left as a badge of honor, Tim.

    Loss of ability to spell. That is STALK, Paco!

    Forgetfulness of important facts. We FIXED that one. Bloody cross-dimensional contamination casued by that rotten swine Terry Pratchett. Oh, and Wronwright.

    and I am Tecciztecatl, Aztec god of the moon.

  39. Hah! I found it. Loony Liam’s little dream sequence. This time, I’ll just put it here.
    Too late, tho, everyone’s gone home.

    I had a dream about evolution last night. The earth was being attacked covertly by these really nasty xenomorph-type creatures and people were being killed slowly at first, but then in increasing numbers as time went on, because the creatures were evolving and becoming more powerful. I had this ability to kind of “black out” for a few centuries at a time, so I thought I would black out for a few hundred years and come to when technology was better so the xenomorphs could be more easily dealt with. But when I woke up a few centuries later, most of the earth was destroyed. I met a woman who told me that it was now almost impossible to kill the creatures, as they had evolved to a state where their thoughts had become “stringy”, that is, far more advanced than when they were the simple savage beasts back in our day. Upon seeing my despair, the woman comforted me and told me not to worry. “As these things become more intelligent and evolved, eventually they will destroy themselves. It is absolutely inevitable. All living things reach a stage in their development where they become so intelligent that self-destruction becomes unavoidable.” At this point I said to her that this was of little comfort to me, because, well, look around lady, they have already destroyed most of earth. The woman replied “Oh no. No, no, no. You misunderstand, the creatures didn’t do this. No. Humans did this. That’s what you need to understand, humans became too evolved and destroyed each other and then themselves like parasites.” This new information was astonishing. I asked her, “who are you anyway? why didn’t you die with the others?” The woman replied, “isn’t it obvious? I am god.”

  41. #39, thanks for sparing me the search, rinardman.  I thought it was interesting, because, although I know some people dream in black and white, and some people dream in Technicolor, I’ve never heard of anybody who dreams in Gameboy before.

    Posted by RebeccaH on 2006 12 23 at 03:21 PM • permalink

  42. You’re welcome, Rebecca. I thought it kinda represents the sum of all lefty fears. The xenomorphs are, well…us, RWDBs. And their fear of RWDBs controlling everything by “evolving and becoming more powerful”, and “that is, far more advanced than when they were the simple savage beasts back in our day”.
    And then, finally, their hope for the RWBD’s future “All living things reach a stage in their development where they become so intelligent that self-destruction becomes unavoidable”.

    So, let’s just stay the ignorant savages they just know we are, and rule the earth forever!  :)

    Bloody hell, I think it’s worth reinstating Paco’s godhood just so he can tear the still-beating heart out of the little leftist spanker.

    And the last time we did that it took WEEKS to get the blood of the human (well, they were lefties… semi-human) sacrifices out of the VRWC games room , erm.. dungeon, erm, no, I’ll get it in a minute… AHA!! social activities facility.
