My first nomination! I'm so flattered I don't know what to say. I'll post my 10 page acceptance speech in a few days xxx

I didn't post on that thread either! Basically because by the time I looked at it, I thought everything that needed saying had been said...10 farking times over at least!!!

I didn't post on the thread, either. I just feel so- so honored! I would like to thank the starters of other threads that caught my interest, instead; my cats, and my next door neighbor who always distracts me from the computer. Sniff. I think I'm going to go cry now.

I think posting here that you didn't post to the treadmill posts negates your uninvolvement with said post. Form a straight and orderly line and head for the nearest exit. Please turn in all nominations on your way out; there will be a box of shame for your convenience.

12-09-2006 09:51 PM

who said anything about jacking off? you dirty old woman. I don't know why you're so preoccupied with sex. Is it because everyone is thinking that you should go fuck yourself, and you kind of pick up on that vibe?

12-09-2006 10:37 PM

the cellar won't die because of this. it will become less enjoyable for awhile as the more mild mannered posters choose to back away for a bit. but they won't go away. if you look at old threads you'll see that there is always someone who is drawing the ire and flames of other posters. Marichiko happens to be the only one i'm aware of that has done it for more than two years straight, was banned, came back and is still a magnet for hostility.

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.

Verdict: Legitimate. The ruling on the field stands.

On a personal note, I do find the actual nattering back and forth in this thread distracting. But as a wiser poster than me once said, "You can't steer at thread, you can only launch it and watch it drift." I accept that. *sigh*

I might be more inclined to keep this strictly "Hall of Fame" if any of the myriads of funny, insightful things I've said had made it on here. ;)

Natterings. See, you say one goddam thing and all of sudden you're one of "them."

Will you give me the apple?

I use the Cellar for whatever I need at the time....

To learn something new
To find out what's going on
To see what other people think
To learn about somebody
To help somebody
To get some help with something
To piss and moan and pretend my opinion actually matters
To crack a joke
To crack a head
To restore some order
To wreak some havoc
To jack my post count :-)
To make fun of Lumberjim :-)
But, mostly, to stay sharp.

I mostly hang out in the corner smoking a cigarette and like the idea that I can step out of the shadows and get involved whenever I want without feeling any pressure to do so. What I've learned to do is pick and choose my entry and exit points. Its like being at a very interesting party and being able to turn invisible or visible at will.

The Cellar is many things: A news source, an art gallery, a novel, a soap opera, a kangaroo court, a debate you observe or engage, a soap box, a history lesson, an evolving and slightly unstable social structure, a helping hand, a pity party, a confession line, an open-mic night, a talent show, defender of truth, an advice line, a support group.

In the end, the Cellar is the truth.
Well put Beestie.

This excerpt from yet another gun control argument is yet another example of Happy Monkey's eloquence. I read this post, and all the others in this context many times before I decided to put this part in the HoF. Many times, too many times, the discussion transforms into an argument, which is ok, but then continues to decay into a shouting match. One of the saddest responses in these situations is the assertion that since "it says so right there in the Constitution / Bill of Rights" that the discussion is closed. Such a reaction is a desperate tactic to end the discussion, not to persuade the other side.

Even if the other side is unpersuadable, even if the discussion is "freaking boring", closing the discussion this way, only shows a closed mind. Retire from the discussion if you wish, but realize that the discussions and the decision will continue despite your abdication. The Constitution is a starting point, not a finish line.

"All just power is derived from the consent of the governed." -- John Locke. There can be no consent without discussion. Silence is *not* assent.

01-11-2007 09:02 PM

That's not true. I drag out the constitution when I get tired of hearing the same shit, over and over and over and over and over again. Dragging it out says no, I don't care how many times you say it, the constitution says I don't have to do what you want. End of story. :cool:

Well I'm here to tell you: Every Day is Christian's Day.

You may not have been aware of this.

Y'see, when Linus goes into the speech about the Real Meaning of Christmas, non-Christians don't say anything.

When someone at a dinner says first let us bow our heads and say grace, almost all of us politely bow our heads and pretend to pray. We may even say Amen.

For two years, I worked for an employer that put "Reverence for God and all His Works" into their Official Company List of Values. I just shut up, did a good job and collected my paycheck.

So now you find the name of this thing to be a little in-your-face? How DARE people actively proclaim that they don't agree with you!

Well you poor thing! How hard it must be for you! Let me call you the WAAAAAHBULANCE!!!

http://cellar.org/2007/waaaambulance.jpg

Nothing irks me more than a Christian claiming to be "persecuted" for their values. This translates to: they've had their way for so long they'll throw a temper tantrum when one little thing doesn't go their way, IE they don't automatically get the special treatment they think they deserve. Not that they think they're "better" than other people or anything. ... And I must have an agenda if I dare to criticize them, yeah right. Wwwaaaaaahhh!

Flint has a...quirky sense of humor, and most of his posts demonstrate this. They often draw attention away from his more intelligent and articulate remarks, like this one. I'm happy the clown mask slipped down, and I look forward to more wardrobe malfunctions such as this.

Also, we should be ready to cast it aside, without reservation, when it does us a disservice. A small bit of the great mystery may be revealed to us, at any moment, in a way we never imagined. However, we aren't really designed to make the distinction between good and bad data, we must make an extreme effort.

Finally, we should always fight, tooth and nail, against those who wish us to surrender to ignorance. As ignorant and insignificant as we are (and we most certainly are, to a degree our minds are incapable of comprehending) we have carved out a small niche of organized data, the qualities of which need constant protection from deliberate obfuscation. Knowledge is our most valuable resource, and attacks upon it are the most heinous crime.

I agree. That's why I feel it belongs in this thread. By the way, when I make such a post, I always include a link to the original post so it may be seen in context. If you look at the post, there's a link behind the words: "like this one." which will take you to the post and thread of origin. Enjoy.

And well done Flint.
