I wish I watched football right about now so I would have something to talk to the Unfoggetariat about, because I have been assigned The Chalice and the Blade to read and I really don't want to read it. I've worked a a week and a half ahead in my statistics homework, and continuing feels more appetizing than The Chalice and the Blade, and I've been eating soy ice cream as a procrastinating device. Football and Unfogged would be less fattening.
I know! Let's have some bestiality and ephebophilia!
What, you can go for "Gongoristic", "euphuistic", and "ephebophilia", but stick with the humdrum "bestiality"? I'm disappointed in you, John. Couldn't you have stuck in a classical Chinese term for boinking livestock or something?
You are in a cave of twisting little blogs, all slightly different. To your right, there is a dim glow of heroism and steadfastness. To your left, a stobe light flickers, revealing criticism, schadenfreude, and cock jokes. There is no there here.
>Get no there.
How do you expect to do that?
>Go left.

You pick up the screed, when, when unfurled, tells in the harshest language the sins and misdemeanors of the authoritarian regime. The language is stirring, yet its proscriptions are vague.

A closer examination of the screed reveals a hand-written marginal note: "To overthrow the regime, we'll need the bumper of a 1952 Mustang, an emerald as big as a plover's egg, a G4 processor, a rubber hose, a massive mailing-list, and a roc's egg!" There is a filibuster here.
Yeah, pretty psyched. For a while I was afraid that the Steelers were setting up for a massive comeback but the defense had it under control. Seattle will be tough, though.

Just to pick an argument, what, you know, do you mean? That you think the linked joke is unfair to Bush, or based on untrue premises? Because if it isn't, I'm not all that clear on why you have to back away from it.
wow. truly impressive.

Holy crap. I hadn't ever read the "protection" thread until now. You people are so touchy.

I saw that Bush's Excellent Text Adventure a couple of days ago---after our "Protection" thread---and felt unwontedly cool.

What's going on in this thread? What's Labs apologizing for? And why did text apologize in his first comment?

Tia, you can make hateful remarks about football and football players. That's what I do.

You are in a maze of twisty little blogs all alike. You remember having taken a path Rightward.
>Go down.
You are already as far down as you can go.
>Go forward.
That way is blocked off.
>Go back.
What, retreat?
>Move sideways.
You are in a cave of twisting little blogs. The pattern noise of repitition begins to give you a headache. There are indictments here.
The bleakness of the place starts to encapsulate you. You begin to feel depressed.
>Take pill.
Tom Cruise appears.
Tom Cruise: "don't take that! you don't know what's in it!"
>Attack Tom Cruise
You pummell Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise flees to the refuge of a nearby closet.
