Indeed.

 

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder.

What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past?

 

Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born!


We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

To post or not to post, that is the question

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of people labeling a 2000 meme as being one for the 'real internet oldies'

Or make commentary against a sea of misattributed apocryphal Polish Fighter Pilot stories, and by replying end them.

To post, to write no more, and by ignoring do we end the two unnatural triggerings this thread is heir to?

'tis a consummation to be devoutly wished.

To ignore to leave; to get more such comments elsewhere- aye, there's the rub

for in the ignoring of such comments what further posts may come elsewhere when we have tabbed out of this accursed thread must leave the back button unpressed.

 

(literally shaking, but might be my advanced age to blame)

 

 

Apologies to Bill S for the bastardisation. Kind of obligated to complain about the Bader story, since I did in the military thread and it's been done better without dragging a real life person into it. Still, fits better here.

 

But Dawson_crying.jpg? It isn't that old yet it makes me realise that Dawson's Creek is nearly 20 years ago yet my internet history goes back well before that. Next thing I'm going to be buying adult nappies and telling kids to get off my lawn.

the police stops a guy in the street and tells him that they have been tailing him for the last 400km and that he was the only driver who has not committed a single infraction on the way, not even a minor one, so they will award him with a prize of 5000 euros. they ask him what he plans to do with the money and he says

"i'll use it to get a driver's licence"

his wife noticed his blunder and tried to cover it up by saying

"don't mind his ramblings, he's drunk"

meanwhile her father in the back seat who was hard of hearing and didn't know what was happening shouted

"i told you it was a bad idea to make the trip in a stolen car"

 

and suddenly there is a faint voice heard from inside the trunk of the car

"is it the border yet?"

It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...

"This Scotsman moves to the United States. He goes to his first baseball game but doesn’t understand it. When a runner hits a ground ball, he watches the crowd yelling for the player to run. When the next player does the same thing, he joins in. Then the next guy gets up to bat and the pitcher throws three balls and a strike. The last pitch is a ball and the batter drops his bat and starts to walk to first base. The Scotsman, completely confused, jumps up and yells ‘What are ya doing? Run it out, laddie!’ A guy in the stands explains it to him: ‘He doesn’t have to run; he’s got four balls.’ So the bewildered Scotsman yells out, ‘Walk with pride, lad, walk with pride.”

I haven't even seen a single episode of Dawson's Creek (nor did I know when it originally aired until now). Blame the meme maker for not using period appropriate pieces. :cat:

Yo momma is so short, you can see her feet in her passport photo!

 

Yo momma is so stupid, she sits on the TV and stares at the sofa!

 

 

Sorry, couldn't resist, overheard my two boys having a yo momma comp! :)

What does their momma think about that?

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Afterwards a tiny Tim Cook pops out of your chest and does a dance with a hat and cane and sings “Hello! Ma Baby."

We actually played a horror parody RPG involving iProducts assimilating humanity. I have fond memories of the iDoorstep "attacking" me and our ally Stephen Hawking turning out to be a malnourished/half-assimilated Bill Gates. Good times.
