lord of flies Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Which one of these quotes is from Noam Chomsky, and which is from Ron Paul? "[The United States] is the best country in the world." "I think we're in the middle of that [American imperialism]. It's imperialistic to have troops all around the world. We have them in 130 countries. But the big areas would be in Iraq and Iran and that whole region over there."
Aram Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Trick question. They're both quotes from Caddyshack.
Hurlshort Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Well, I'd say they are in the order you listed them. This game is kind of boring.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Do we win anything? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Walsingham Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Trick question. They're both quotes from Caddyshack. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Aram Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Since I guessed correctly, I'll go next. Which one of these quotes is by Mark Twain, and which is by Godzilla. "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." ""Nyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeerrrrhhheegghhh!"

Purkake Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Is Ron Paul that transvestite basketball player? He was one of the republican presidential candidates for the 2008 election. He was somewhat popular on the internet with his anti-government stance, until it came out that he was also a crazy christian. The XKCD guy also likes to make fun of him every now and then.

Guard Dog Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Ever notice how Krezack seems to think crazy and libertarian are all one word?

lord of flies Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 Is Ron Paul that transvestite basketball player? He was one of the republican presidential candidates for the 2008 election.

Needless to say he failed miserably: No joke though, Ron Paul would be a better President than Obama. His international policies are so distantly better than Obama's, and, to be honest, virtually anything bad a President could do domestically does not rival the damage United States has done via military force, coup d'etats, and proxy wars. I could write a significant number of words on this subject, but we all know you guys wouldn't read them.

213374U Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Incidentally has anyone established whose alt LoF is?

My money's on Wals, anyway. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Rostere Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I'd almost wish LoF was my alt, because it would be damn funny. Not all these topics in WoT (which are kind of interesting at first but all tend to derail rather quickly in the same direction), but everything he writes in the Alpha Protocol forum. I thought "can you smoke weed in this game", "can you be black in this game", "are there any anarco-syndicalist communes in AP", "must I play Thorton as a neocolonialist oppressor" et.c. were hilarious. If there ever is a sequel to Alpha Protocol, I'd seriously want the protagonist to be a weed-smoking anarcho-syndicalist black woman (kind of like Leroy's mama in Surf Nazis Must Die, warning: mature content) who only wants to stick a bomb up in the ass of all neocolonialist oppressors. I mean, if you did it with a bit of humor, it would be hilarious. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Hurlshort Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I think he is Sawyer's alt. I mean with the Aliens RPG canceled, he had to do something with his extra time.
213374U Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Yeah, Sawyer's a History major IIRC, so that would make sense. Except for, um, the part where he trolls his own game's message board. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 You never know. I bet he has something to do with Hades. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

Hurlshort Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 You never know. I bet he has something to do with Hades. I thought about that, but Hades is a genuinely nice guy no matter which alt he is using. Sure, he's stubborn, but LoF is condescending and lacks any humility or introspection. Hades is nearly the opposite. I am concerned that we haven't seen him around lately though.
