Comments on: It’s Not Just Vilsack http://fanaticalapathy.com/2007/02/24/its-not-just-vilsack/ America's favorite blog Sun, 12 Oct 2008 08:46:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: Civilized David http://fanaticalapathy.com/2007/02/24/its-not-just-vilsack/#comment-23679 Fri, 02 Mar 2007 00:36:58 +0000 http://fanaticalapathy.com/2007/02/24/its-not-just-vilsack/#comment-23679 Which part, Ann? Are condolences or O-thank-gods in order? OK, Murray, I can go with the "Let's all just get shitfaced." Harold and Dale both seem like really decent fellows, and Ann has indicated she is not really drawn to ancestral mayhem, so I think "Lets just all be friends" has carried the day. Being under another tornado watch has apparently ameliorated my mayhem lust. Sidenote: It is definite that two of my great-great grandfathers fought on opposite sides in the Civil War (Kentucky was, of course, a border state). They could barely stand to be in the same room together after the War of the Northern Aggression/Southern Insurrection. Which part, Ann? Are condolences or O-thank-gods in order?

I just thought we'd drink ourselves shitfaced. Harold, glad to see you working it out with Dale. Those are great ideas. I'm kind of partial to the Annelids, nothing wrong with hearting earthworms. David,

Huh?

Harold, glad to see you working it out with Dale. Those are great ideas. I’m kind of partial to the Annelids, nothing wrong with hearting earthworms.

I just (finally) stumbled onto the tribal tournament scene for Isolde's hand in the '06 Tristan and Isolde, a movie I have never seen but must now get and watch. That is what should happen at Grouseland. Nobody dies, but every male on the field of honor pretty much gets the shit kicked out of him. Now if Dale/Tristan were still in this thing and defeated Harold/What's-His-Face, Ann/Isolde would be given in nuptial bliss to Rudy Giuliani/The King of Cornwall, Rudy being the Mayor Emeritus of New York/King of Some Fantasy in His Own Mind. Dale/Tristan, who Ann/Isolde pushed out to sea when he wanted her to go with him, of course, comes full circle to win Ann/Isolde for Rudy/Cornish King Somebody, only to tell her what she told him, their relationship cannot be, only now, instead of Ann/Ann's "let's all be friends," we have a proper tribal crushing of an affair of two (three in our version) hearts.

I like the videos, so far. I've even commented a few times. (And speaking of commenting, how on earth did you attract so many commenters that like to use caps lock? I'm just wondering so I can go <strike>hurt</strike> tell them how to use their computer keyboards properly.) Mo, the blog’s pretty good. I like the videos, so far. I’ve even commented a few times.

My favorite possiblity would be the semi-sloppy I HEART ANATOTITANS (the second N would have to become an A and the upright on the T), Anatotitans are duck-billed dinosaurs. The name means "giant duck"!

Seems to me like the possibilities might be endless.

And to be clear, I was never referring to the rest of y'all here, just the potential nutcases out there who'll probably become very scary very quickly at AOL. Um, though I will at least list myself as being one of the scary nutjobs right now until I get my thesis done and (hopefully) find employment. Anyone want a electrical engineer with a background in biomedical electronics? Anyone? Hey, remember, it could be worse: I could be a gun owner.
