I have here the ultimate: The target rich posting. Too bad I
don't really have time.

Steve, it is sheerest arrogance on your part to even hold an
opinion on relative worth of a joke. The day you can get us to
laugh with you, as opposed to at you, is the day you can aspire
to an opinion.

Many of us *enjoy* Yarvin's posts. We find them amusing, novel,
and entertaining. You would be hard pressed to find anyone
who would admit to liking anything you've written, however.

Even flaming you is tedious, but hey, a man has to do what
a man has to do.

>Peeve2: Geeks who insist that all bad humor is not the fault of the jester
>but of the audience it is intended for.

Geek? Oh I'm wounded. Oh, I stand in awe of the flamemaster.

Franklin, If you can't do better than 'geek', then you ought to
wander back to alt.tasteless. Don't forget the  "squick me"
sign to paste to your forehead though, at least then you'll
have something sloshing around in your gourd.

Has it ever occured to you to *think* before you flail your
fingers at the 'F' key? Do you have even the barest conception
of how *many* times I have heard variations of 'Par' jokes?
Of what percentage of those (alleged) jokes were essayed by
snot-nosed kids while I was still in elementary school?

"I know you are, but what am I" is the semantic equivalent You
scrofulous boor. When will you realise that your postings are
pathetic, your flamage is preschoolish, and you have all the 
charisma of a scabrous wino trying to crash Chez Panisse?

Again, I repeat what quickly becomes a mantra:

Go away.

My, it has been a while, hasn't it?  Exhaust manifold pressure is
pretty spurious unless you know the PV=<something> formula and have
the constants etched in your frontal lobes.  Exhaust manifold
*temperature* is much more interesting.

Reminds me of the guy in the 30 year old Porsche Roadster at PIR,
commenting that in the third lap of his race, he noticed the manifold
temp on #3 had gone to 0.  He finished the race on three cylinders.
The amazing part is he *won* and beat JZ by two laps.  Mefford and

I'd be interested in seeing it.  Not speaking wholly for myself,
why is it that decent guys, when not totally ignored, get treated
with all the consideration of a used Kleenex while complete jerks
have women fawning over them?

At 1 am this morning I'm having coffee at an all-night restaurant
and I overhear a waitress say "All the available men are either
gay, married, or broke".  Resisting the urge to respond, I think
about a company I worked for not long ago which had 30 women and
3 men in it (including myself).  This place was a classic demon-
stration of how many women consistently choose losers.  Every day's
conversation in the lunchroom brought the latest update on what a
particular loser had done.  One woman openly debated on whether she
should get back together with her boyfriend, now that he's getting
out of jail, because he didn't have a job.  And he takes drugs, he
beats her, and he steals.  Hmm.  Tough choice, eh?  Admittedly, that
was the extreme case, but the others complained either about their
guy being an alcoholic, beating them up, or whatever.

So why do women choose to live with these guys?  My theory is that
these men, scumbags as they are, do have good looks and exude a
charm that turns women on.  Regardless of their past transgressions
and mistreatment, they seem to be able to talk their way into
forgiveness again and again.  They are good at getting sympathy
and evoking what I believe are women's instincts to "save" these
losers.  Unfortunately, women believe the guy can be changed.

You're right that it is a formal argument, but unfortunately you parody the
position in such a way that you make it seem as though all those who conclude
that X is a rapist pig-dog must hold principle (B) above, "All men
are rapist pig-dogs."  The preferred form of the argument, among those who
do not own up to prinicple (B) is:

Socrates is a rapist pig-dog.
You are a rapist pig-dog.
-----------------------------
Therefore, Socrates is a rapist pig-dog and you are a rapist pig-dog.

The advantage of this argument is that one can deny that one thinks that
all men are rapist pig-dogs and thus seem reasonable on Donahue or
Oprah, and yet be able to conclude about any man in particular that *he*
is a rapist pig-dog.

Quite a powerful tool, logic.

Gratuitous roadhogging is worse, because it creates the conditions under
which people are tempted to tailgate.  Roadhogs and left-lane bandits
deserve to be run off the road, pulled from their vehicles and summarily
disembowled.

What we need is a highway version of the Ton Tons Macoutes to handle such
people.  After a few of these BDIDs are yanked from their vehicles, hacked
up with machetes and left lying at the roadside as a warning to others,
word will eventually get around that impeding the flow of traffic is perhaps
not a Good Idea.

I hit Virginia-Highland most often.  Nice little area for you non-Atlantans.

And the proprietor of Manuel's is one Manuel J. Maloof, the chief executive
of our county government.  He's a fiesty 60 year old.  But the places
are all run by his sons.  Virginia-Highland is the domain of his son Tommy.
I think there are a total of three Manuel's Taverns in the Atlanta area.
Oh yeah, the Maloofs are all solid Democrats.  Southern Democrats, to be
sure.

Great place - I once "peeved" here about sharing a beer with Jimmy Carter at
Manuel's.  It is easy to forget about the problems of the day in places like
Manuel's - sometimes I just drink Sprite or coffee.

With this in mind, here are The Top Ten Things Ted Could Want:

10) A woman who'd actually sleep with him without a)laughing hysterically
through the whole affair and then b) demanding double payment afterwards

9) friends. No wait, ONE friend (musn't get greedy, Ted)

8) Intrests outside the Net anbd law school. A hint here Ted: most of the rest 
of us have these;it's what makes us interesting.

7)A sence of porportion , and a dose of reality

6) A woman who has an intrest in him (hint: email dosen't count, Ted)

5) One really good lay. It would calm you down, Ted.

4) A career that might actually benefit the world at some level or another
one day (Hint: law dosen't count, Ted)

3) A sence of who you are in relation to the rest of the world (hint: somewhere
below the wino that asks me for change to feed stray cats, but above your 
average televangelist)

2) You need to join a fraternity, Ted. They'd losen you up a bit and give you 
the ability to laugh. I can't imagine anybody would take you. Maybe you should
start with a cult and work your way up.

and the Top Thing Ted Could Want is:

A Boot To The Head (SSSHHHHHHHHWAPPPPPPP).    


Mind you this posts neglects the basics: Charm, wit, good looks, intelligence,
the ability to walk without dragging the knuckles, the ability the think without
moving the lips, thigs that Ted isn't likely to ever find.

Thanks Ted, but the University of Chicago has apparently snapped them all up
for its law school.


Now Ted, I'm going to say it one more time: go away. People here don't like you.
You remind me of one of those little dogs that yaps and yaps and won't shut up 
no matter how often or how hard you kick it. 
If I have to, I'll trun the flamethrower up from "lightly toast" to "deep fry."
Leave while you still can.

I say that in the event of nuclear terrorism, we nuke Mecca -- preferably 
during the Hajj.  Now *that* would send a relatively unambiguous message
to the Islamic world, eh what?  A bit extreme, to be sure, but what the
hell -- we might as well go all the way.
