That's my .sig line, silly utopian. If I had been referring to our lord and savior lazarus' fake money, it would have read "'It's like someone's forming a cult and taking gullible people's money to build a pseudo-religious Club Med' in my brain!"

I encourage you to find spiritual guidance along one of our planet's more mundane pathways to enlightenment. I'm not ridiculing YOU, I'm ridiculing...

Ok, I'm ridiculing you. But I mean no harm. Get some help. Really. Your family probably misses you.

That's why it burns me up to run across the type of slander I encountered at: http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=8053.

I'd put vocabulary somewhat high on the requirements for a good poet, but you don't seem to know what "slander" means. Though I guess maybe there aren't too many poems about slander.

re: sarcasm

You have the basics down, but you're still plagued with an overactive martyr gland and the inability to see the humor in someone minting untradeable money with their own face on it. The status quo here is that EVERYBODY has to take their licks at one point or another, particularly in the philosophy thread. And you have to be able to accept ribbing with good grace when you announce yourself as the poet laureate of New Utopia.

You came dangerously close to killing the thread with the Holocaust mention. Rule #1 -- don't call people Nazis. It's the first sign you've lost the argument.

You probably got points from some people for the Bush/witchburning/Holocaust connection, though.

Edit: I forgot to use the words "Messiah Complex". There. That's better.

Oh, yeah...he's right on that one. If you're coming here for warm fuzzies, you landed on the wrong planet. This is the CELLAR, babe...and the first rule you learn (took me a while-just ask Wolf) is: grow a thick skin...yes indeed...something along the lines of alligator or armadillo.... Eventually, you learn not to take it personally, even if it is. ESPECIALLY if it is.

Sarcasm the retreat of the morally retarded. Take that oscar wilde and co.

New Utopia is cute and all but sadly, the truth is like so many similar 'freedom projects', it's nothing more than a dirty scam.
See here and notice here how being a 'Charter Citizen' costs $25000, you can also purchase bank licences, trust licences and 'Class A' bank licences for wads of cash. The prince has a long history of being involved in scams and was recently stopped by the SEC from floating unsecured bonds. Still, it's a tad more complex than his previous 'longlevity' scams and his wife's old habit of drug dealing.

I wonder what it would cost me to usurp the throne? Or unseat the Poet Laureate?

Trilby · 04-26-2005, 04:05 PM

Or even de-Pants the Poet Laureate...

Queen of the Ryche · 04-26-2005, 04:08 PM

don't know if I want to see that................but I think I will start my own "Princessiapality" just so I can issue my own coins, wear a nifty robe, and brainwash my way into the misguided's pockets............anyone want to become a citizen? I'll give you a nifty title like "DeckSwabber of Disillusionmentville".....and it will cost you mere pence compared to the spiritual riches I will bestow upon you.........
Oops - was I too sarcastic?

I, too, want to be a citizen, just because of your name. Every time I read it, I have that song in my head for the rest of the day.

Queen of the Ryche · 04-26-2005, 04:27 PM

okay - an appreciation for SARCASTIC humor and ROCKIN music are requirements for citizenship. and my minions shall pay homage with beer, steak, and chocolate. (I promise to share.)

mrnoodle · 04-26-2005, 05:16 PM

Ok. I feel better after my rant. Angus, don't run off. I'm intrigued -- convince me, or make a good start at convincing me, that New Utopia is viable, its leaders are legit, and its precepts are workable.

In other words, convince me that you are not batshit. I say this with a fully open mind.

Why bother when there's an abundance of apathy?
