You mean like ragging on total strangers for not making lists ragging on total strangers for watching TV? Yeah - screw altruism: I care only about people I know. The rest all y'all can go straight to hell.

Cheering this process on. Well which is it? Am I shrugging or cheering? I'm trying to imagine doing both at the same time, and I'm imagining the gleeful cackles of my chiropractor as a result. > Exhibit A: You don't even know who your congressman is. That's cuz he's a stranger, and I don't care about them. Actually, it's cuz my congressional representative isn't a congressman but Rep.

Ironically, that's not a sentence: it's a sentence fragment. But I'm glad *someone* realizes now that my entire life will be an unending series of stupid mistakes etc. and can tell me about it now, so's I can recognize how inferior I am to such enlightened ones. But wait: if a "cold, meaningless demise" is on tap for me (as opposed to the hot, meaningful demises that get far better ratings), then wouldn't that put an end to my supposedly "unending series of stupid mistakes and wasted opportunities"? Or does my mouldering corpse get to keep being stupid? Will there be color commentary? "Yep, Norman's corpse really should have invested in Booptronics back in 2078 - but the stupid dead fucker is still making mistakes. What a wasted opportunity." Speaking of, I think I'm going to go wander off to the bar and see if I can find a young, attractive, wasted opportunity. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 21:51:57 -0800 (PST) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: Re: best of the worst 2fs wrote: > michael wells wrote: > > Michael "guess I beat out Ann Coulter" Wells > > I wouldn't beat her out if she were on fire.
