Kneel before Zod

[Guynemer]

I am back, *****es.

Yes indeedy, the Great Apolyton Outage of December 2011 was all due to me and my inability to remember my new password, which led to my discovery that the forum wasn't sending emails properly, which obviously led to the crack-up, since now I can suddenly get emails and a new password.

I tried to read the board every so often to keep up. A few thoughts:

Elok, as always, is a scholar and a gentleman. I often find myself wondering if I have missed the boat when it comes to the whole religion thing whenever he posts.

Then, of course, Hera would post, and such thought would fly from my mind, posthaste.

Jesus, Al, why so obvious in trolling Sloww?

Jesus, Sloww, why be trolled so obviously?

KH: never change.

Special thanks to Asher, Imran, and (yes) Ben Kenobi for helping me out when my account went all hinky, and to Plomp for trying to get me back in before finally saying **** IT and blowing the whole damned thing up.



Hakuna matata, *****es.

[Elok]

Aw, geez, I'm blushing. You're rad too.

[Dinner]

A pox upon you for not mentioning me.

[Elok]

Wishing pox upon a doctor is like wishing a collapsed building on an engineer. All you're doing is sending more business his way.

EDIT: Or possibly just giving him a problem he knows how to fix. Either way it's a lame threat.

[Guynemer]

Oerdin: a pox on you for changing your name

[KrazyHorse]

I wish I knew what comment guy was talking about when he mentioned me...

[Guynemer]

All of them, forever and ever, amen.

[KrazyHorse]

Your reverence is duly noted.

[Elok]

Then, of course, Hera would post, and such thought would fly from my mind, posthaste.

See, this makes me curious: why Hera? Yes, he's religious now, sort of, and yes, he has loathsome opinions, but in his case the two are entirely separate. He came up with his racist rubbish while he was an atheist and declined to jettison it when he decided to become...sort of theist. Shouldn't you be more turned off by a poster of a more Pharisaical bent? 'Cuz we've got some of those.

[Berzerker]

you left?

Hera is proof there's no God.

[Berzerker]

I remember watching Christopher Hitchens early one morning maybe 20 years ago on C-SPAN having a chuckle at the thought of some toothless hillbilly from the Appalachians running around claiming to be made in God's image...

[Elok]

What was Hitchens doing on C-SPAN? Was he called before Congress as an "expert witness" of some sort, or what?

[Berzerker]

he was on their morning show with Brian Lamb (or crew), people actually get to talk without a host interrupting every 10 secs.

[Elok]

Oh. I don't watch C-SPAN, I always figured they just set up a camera in the Capitol and played it continually. It never occurred to me that they might have actual produced content, I assumed they simply played infomercials when Congress wasn't in session and they couldn't get other balding white guys to make passive-aggressive speeches in a big room. Well, now I know.
