But he does seem to be making the point of a recent Flint thread...

Merc, I think you took a wrong turn, I assume you were looking for the Hall of Flame?

Looked like the posts quoted to me. Are you sure?

"The point" of the Hall of Fame:

This thread is intended to preserve those posts in one place, a Hall of Fame for posts so funny, insightful, or incendiary that they deserve to be remembered. Posts so passionate, so right, or so, so wrong that you want to hang it on the wall like a trophy. Post the remarks and include a link to the post for a frame of reference in case the context matters. This is the place, our own Hall of Fame.

Regardless whether you're "missing" the point or "ignoring" it, you still aren't "getting it."

Well thanks for pointing that out. That is real important to me.

It's dark and cold, stormy and frightening. Then, in an instant, for only an instant, everything is illuminated.

Sheldonrs can be hysterically funny (no offense intended), and he shows he's fluent in puns as well.

It's called Carp Pool Funnel Syndrome.

Brilliant! For those that require context, scroll upward one post to see the picture of a goose feeding the carp.

Clodfobble has a great one:

Ah look, a joke.

Another joke, implying that you actually killed the people whose wallets you have, rather than picking them up and keeping them as the thread has been discussing.

Simian does not get Brianna's joke, and thus instead suspects that she did not get his.

Sundae Girl, who got both jokes, is now subtly pointing out to simian that he in fact is the one who does not get subtle jokes. "The question is, do you (get subtle jokes)?" I think the answer here is clear.

if it wasn't already here, glatt...i might put that wonderful display of quoting and commentary into the hall of fame thread.

richlevy's beautiful paean to our beautiful Constitution. :sustained, enthusiastic applause:

Because all of us have our eyes, not on the President and not on the Bible, but on the Constitution.

...

Every single fucking nation on this planet has a flag, some of which are so blood soaked that their mere presence is a cause for emotional pain. Flags can represent honor and glory, or they can be the shit rags of history. Just like everyone has a mother, including serial killers and the dregs of humanity, so every country has a flag.

The flag is the wrapper, the Constitution is the gift. It was written by a bunch of rich, educated, dare I say liberal, elite who seized a colony from one of the most powerful countries in the world. They could have kept it for themselves, but they very carefully and painstakingly put together a document that not only gave power back to the people who actually sacrificed to win it, but set up a balance of power designed to keep that government in check and working towards the general welfare.

A beautiful gift indeed, rich, as is your post. Thank you.
