It is. And you used it to describe things. I'll quote it back to you.

The things I described are beliefs followed by ignorant people such as those I described.

Don't worry; I fully expect you to carry this until the very end, refusing to admit that you misused a word. There is an adjective we use to describe people with that characteristic; it is "immature

I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong, but that hasn't happened in our discussion yet. And there's a better word to describe people like me; it's "correct".

Don't worry though. I fully expect you to mistakenly make false accusations of a grammatical error where there isn't any while completely avoiding the topic at hand. There are more than a few adjectives that spring to mind for you such as "anal", "wrong", "pathetic", etc. But why waste our time going back and forth. You'll never admit you're wrong even though you clearly are. So what's the point?

Radar, I don't happen to agree with you here ... but you might consider how your statement quoted above applies to yourself.

The definition of "ignorant" is not "doesn't agree with Radar's worldview."

Wow that's a hell of statement.

I love this line, the "wrong" just sets it apart from everything else. First time I've ever heard someone just called plain "wrong" usually they stated something "wrong", or making the "wrong" assumption. So if Dave was to agree with Radar would that make Radar "wrong".

Oh..I was talking about *dave's* ignore list. Isn't that the fate of people who pursue those who "refuse to admit they misused a word"? :-)

I'm not worried about Radar's ignore list...how much should I think about a bartender who's known among the rave crowd as MrE_Man and once held an email address of jablowmi@hotmail.com ?

This is causing my head to hurt in precisely the same way as Daffy Duck's "If this week was next week last week" speech.

Nurse, I need some aspirin.

Oh, and could you loosen this strap here a bit. I'm okay with my arms being crossed, but it's just a hair too tight. Thanks. What's that? No, the walls are plenty soft.

Actually if Dave agreed with me, he would admit he was wrong and he would thus be right. But since he won't admit it he continues to be wrong.

I don't know how much you should think about me, but it's obvious you think about me enough to search around for information about me. It's flattering to know I'm so important to you. And since you seem to care so much I'll share more information with you.

Yes, I bartend on the weekends and I'm a computer network engineer during the week. This is helping me save for my upcoming marriage. After I graduated with a degree in computer science engineering from the University of Nevada - Reno, I was pretty broke and started dealing craps in Las Vegas casinos. The money was pretty good so I did that for a number of years. Then I decided to go back into the computer field so I got my Novell and Microsoft networking certifications in 1995 and renewed Novell once and have kept renewing the Microsoft certs. I'm also a certified trainer so I can help others learn to be skilled networking professionals. I'm not married to any operating system and I know what's best for any given situation. I'm paid pretty well for consulting, though not as well as I was 2 years ago when people were begging me to work for them which is why I'm doing some bartending. There's certainly nothing wrong with being a bartender, nothing wrong with dealing casino games, and nothing wrong with being a computer networking consultant. I attended raves for a number of years because I like electronic music. I have won awards for doing youth outreach information booths at raves and registering young people to vote. My old email address jablowmi@hotmail.com was what I used to register on websites so my junkmail wouldn't come to my regular email address. It was a joke between me and a friend. We chose porn star names. His is Hugh G. Rection, and mine was Heywood Jablowmi. My beautiful fiance and I will soon be married and we will probably have a few kids.

Is there anything else you'd like to know?

I wouldn't make fun of what I do for a living if I were you. I might go to your job and slap the dick out of your mouth.

Seriously though, I wouldn't hazard to guess what you do for a living, mostly because I'm genuinely not interested in you in the slightest.

Yes. If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

Radar · 12-10-2002, 09:59 PM

I'm guessing both. But I've never seen a turtle without a shell. I imagine they'd look pretty freaky.

My man, You thoroughly crack me up.

James, I *might* be willing to give an extra discount to you, since Casey posts here too. You try and stiff me on the paypal account though and we'll be fightin'.

Currently in the VIP room, we have lots of cold beer, the finest wines, and a boatload of cheesesteaks from Jimmy's.

I was going to have guns in there, but I don't think mixing guns and alcohol is the best of ideas.

So much for "noninitiation of violence".

As long as we're exchanging advice, I would recommend if you are planning to assault me that you wear *good* quality body armor; I might have the +Ps in my side arm that day. Folks wear heavy clothing around here in the wintertime.

As for the dick-in-mouth-at-work idea, you may have confused me with Starchild, another LPer from CA, discussed in another thread here. He was proud of being a "sex worker" (rather than thinking it was suitable for use as a random insult) and didn't advocate that his vegetarian beliefs should be imposed on others...yet.

But he was all for it once "his people" were solidly in power.
It's really disappointing how quickly LP principles seem to desert some party members...some of them only have to think you're making fun of them.

Don't worry, you'll know when I'm *really* making fun of you; it will be something like <i>Overheard at the rave: "See that guy behind the bar? He's Mr E-Man. He does our 'youth outreach'. He'll take care of you."</i> :-)

How's about you allow guns, but restrict ammo?

elSicomoro · 12-10-2002, 10:37 PM

Youth outreach at raves....hmmm...*sycamore thinks of the twisted possibilities*

--
"Hey dude! Just sign this membership form and I'll give ya two tabs!"

"Duuuuude! Sweet!"
--
"If we get the Libertarians in office, you can do as much X as you want b/c it will be available at Starbucks!"

"Oh man! I am soooo voting for you guys!"
--
"You feelin' good right now?"

"Oh my God! I'm floating!"

"I've got an even better high! Vote Libertarian!"

"Ohhh....wow! I need to be touched!"

I don't know if this is how it's done or not...but Tob, maybe we should do something like this for the Aloysius Party. We could gather everyone around that little outdoor stage next to Academic Hall and pass out a bunch of weed, listen to Pink Floyd, and sign up members.

Look, we get slang in there, and he gets a few pints in him, and there's no telling what could happen! He'll have rounds hidden on him...you just know it!

Oh, wait a minute...slang can't come anyway...he's not on the VIP list...yet.

Griff...are you smelling a new one sentence story here? I am.
