“Smoking cigars as an art form"

[TachyCoventry]

65 Points for "Pedantic" in Words with Friends! I don't even know what it means but that triple letter tile on the P helped!

So does this mean that Daysi is done with her posts and quotes of the day? I was just getting used to it too...

[ggiese]

Oh no, I wasn't knocking George's essay, just that he had to spend time writing it instead of smoking with me.

Sadly, I haven't been getting much smoking time lately...

I now occupy my days writing essays for the likes of Daisy. Here's something I quickly scribbled together last night, while I was counting sheep...

Reading this post won't be the easiest thing you've ever done, but it may be one of the most rewarding. Some background is in order: Daysiartpainter does not merely use threats of fiscal (not "physical") harm to coerce antisocial personæ non gratæ into nailing people to trees. She does so consciously, deliberately, willfully, and methodically. For the sake of concreteness, you may find it instructive to contrast the things I like with the things that she likes. I like listening to music. Daysiartpainter likes gumming up what were once great ideas. I like kittens and puppies. Daysiartpainter likes leading an active disinformation campaign. I like spending time with friends (that goes for you too, BigMac). Daysiartpainter likes threatening anyone who's bold enough to state that she has made it known that she fully intends to create a kind of psychic pain at the very root of the modern mind. If those words don't scare you, nothing will. If they are not a clear warning, I don't know what could be.

How I pity Daysiartpainter if I were to be her judge. I would start by notifying the jury that I should note that if Daysiartpainter had two brain cells to rub together, she'd realize that her criticisms promote a redistribution of wealth. This is always an appealing proposition for Daysiartpainter's deputies because much of the redistributed wealth will undoubtedly end up in the hands of the redistributors as a condign reward for their loyalty to Daysiartpainter. Daysiartpainter makes a living out of frotteurism. I call this tactic of hers "entrepreneurial frotteurism". Daysiartpainter and her partisans have indisputably raised entrepreneurial frotteurism to a fine art by using it to dismantle the family unit. Even if I were, as she seems to think I am, a brown-nosing kook, at least I know better than to rub salt into our wounds. In contrast, Daysiartpainter is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, her willingness to degrade, divide, and destroy our forum sets a new record for brazenness.

On a more pedestrian level, every so often, Daysiartpainter tries declaring that it's okay if her conclusions initially cause our quality of life to degrade because "sometime", "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. Whenever she gets caught doing so she raises a terrific hullabaloo calculated to utilize legal, above-ground organizing in combination with illegal, underground tactics to anesthetize the human spirit. She has been trying to popularize the narrative that the health effects of secondhand smoke are not negligible. My fear is that if she's successful at promoting such cockamamy notions then even the man on the Clapham omnibus may agree to let her give voice, in a totally emotional and non-rational way, to her deep-rooted love of teetotalism. Now that you've read this pos, let me challenge you, the reader, not just to help me make Daysiartpainter's ridiculous publications understood, resisted, and made the object of deserved contempt by young and old alike, but also to educate others about what I've written.

Nah... Daisy has an agenda that's not nearly complete.

Since you now have all of this free time (not smoking cigars with me) - perhaps you should consider cleaning out your inbox.

We should start a quote thread!!!

Let me begin...

I do what I can with the English language. Unfortunately I speak only one language, so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage with Daisy.

I wonder if anyone can translate that into Spanish for me...

Yo hago lo que puedo con el lenguaje Ingles. Desafortunadamente, solo poseo el dominio de una lengua, lo cual me pone en cierta desventaja con Daisy.

Since we are all about translating things, can someone translate this into English for me? I'm an engineer, my linguistic skills (is that even correct usage?) aren't as amazing as George's...

[BigMacFU]

I can one up you George http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/

I don't even have to type anymore. Just copy and paste.

You know what they say about arguing with a moron, right? "Never argue with a moron - they'll bring you to their level and beat you with experience." <author unknown>

Of course I subscribe to the philosophy, "Never argue with an idiot. The best outcome you can hope for is that you won an argument with an idiot."

Daisy,

I think you misunderstood my post. Please - let me explain further...

In this post, I want to skip the usual preaching, moralizing, and pontificating and go straight to the facts. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this post, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is a fact that Daysiartpainter thinks that she is a voice of probity. Of course, thinking so doesn't make it so.

Daysiartpainter's perversions deserve to be criticized because they exploit the masses. Again, Daysiartpainter says that she is cunctipotent. I've seen more plausible things scrawled on the bathroom walls in elementary schools. Yes, she may be nothing more than a disposable tool of power-wielding, viperine yobbos but Daysiartpainter says that everyone would be a lot safer if she were to monitor all of our personal communications and financial transactions—even our library records. Why on Earth does Daysiartpainter need to monitor our library records? While that question may not be as profound as "What's the meaning of life?" or "Is there a God?", Daysiartpainter's criticisms of my posts have never successfully disproved a single fact I ever presented. Instead, her criticisms are based solely on her emotions and gut reactions. Well, I refuse to get caught up in Daysiartpainter's "I think … I believe … I feel" game.

Behold what a nice, thick, fat lie it is when Daysiartpainter denies ever having strived to blow the whole situation way out of proportion. Perhaps we're still a long way from being able to open minds instead of closing them, but remember that whenever she attempts to damage the self esteem and physical health of millions of young men and women, she looks around waiting for applause as if she's done something decent and moral rather than stupid and ghastly. She may make us less united, less moral, less sensitive, less engaged, and more perversely filthy right after she reads this post. Let her. Some day, I will tear down Daysiartpainter's fortress of isolationism.

Ancient Greek dramatists discerned a peculiar virtue in being tragic. Daysiartpainter would do well to realize that they never discerned any virtue in being brain-damaged. Still, she can't possibly believe that things have never been better. She's horny but she's not that horny. Nothing unites people like a common enemy. That's why I would encourage everybody to take some shots of their own at Daysiartpainter by reprimanding her for imposing a "glass ceiling" that limits our opportunities for promotions in most jobs. Mark my words: some people think it's a bit extreme of me to make this world a kinder, gentler place—a bit over the top, perhaps. Well, what I ought to remind such people is that mercantalism has served as the justification for the butchering, torture, and enslavement of more people than any other "ism". That's why it's Daysiartpainter's favorite; it makes it easy for her to irrationalize thinking on every issue.

What I find frightening is that some academics actually believe Daysiartpainter's line that everyone and everything discriminates against her—including the writing on the bathroom stalls. In this case, "academics" refers to a stratum of the residual intelligentsia surviving the recession of its demotic base, not to those seekers of truth who understand that Daysiartpainter's litanies are becoming increasingly inimical. They have already begun to make bigotry respectable. Now fast-forward a few years to a time in which they have enabled Daysiartpainter to destroy all tradition, all morality, and the entire democratic system. If you don't want such a time to come then help me improve the lot of humankind. Help me prevent the Daysiartpainter-induced catastrophe I foresee and save our nation from its time of deepest humiliation and disgrace. In closing, please remember that my ultimate goal is to address the real issues faced by mankind. If I advance, follow me. If I stop, urge me on. If I retreat, kill me.

I hope that clears it up for you, Daisy.

How dare you accuse and offend her...at least I think you did.

daysiartpainter, I think you are being very selfrightous, and really need to step down from your podium, you see, we are a very tight knit community, and when we see a bullshitter, we call them out, and when we see someone who has plans only for themselves, well, then we call them out on it.
You , as an individual, have contributed nothing of value to this community, and I think you are a real work of art yourselfplease do not confuse that last statement as a compliment, it was intended as a bit of sarcasm.

I am not writing this to attack you, but only to point out the obvious.
