Sometimes his behavior is a little too unbelievable. This being the Internet, I'm still not sure that UG isn't the alter ego of another Cellarite. It would be pretty funny if at the end of the year TW confessed that he made him up, or better yet, Marichiko.

Well, fantasy can be funny.

Perhaps, rich, you should take up martial arts -- something I need to get back into myself, and if you can't get out more and see how many varieties of people our wide land contains and their worthiness, at the very least read Soldier of Fortune for one year. You don't grok me because you don't have the concepts; you haven't had the education. I'm realer than you'd like, and I challenge your ideas of how human beings are by my mere existence, to say nothing of what I post. I'm here to chivvy you into a wider world, being less provincial in my outlook than you.

You see, this is the quality stuff that makes me think UG isn't 'real'. It's wonderful prose, egocentric bordering on narcissist. It reminds me of the bad fiction contest they hold each year in honor of the guy who first came up with "It was a dark and stormy night". Using 'grok' was brilliant since a Heinlein reference is absolutely necessary in a post from a modern age warrior (I prefer Kipling). Still, UG didn't quite hit that evocative tone that's really needed. Let me try to punch it up a little.

Quote:
Perhaps, rich, you should follow the warriors path and take up martial arts. As I sit here contemplating the vast multitudes of honorable and worthy men and women contained within the proud vistas of this great nation, I feel that you should expand your mind as well and immerse yourself in the community and philosophy to be found in Solider of Fortune. In the dark corners of the stormy night, my reality challenges you to accept my teachings, for I have walked a strange and dangerous path. I am the bringer of truth, here to lead your unworthy self to the fountain of knowledge that is fed by adversity and nurtured by the sacrifice of heroes.


How's that?

Oh, ick! You read Soldier of Fortune? Well, I suppose you would. I used to know a guy that wrote for them, and, in real life, he was the most arrogant wussy boy you'd ever want to meet. He bought a jeep for $5,000 from some friends of mine, and drove off into the sunset and never sent them the agreed upon monthly payments. He DID send them a free subscription to the mag, tho. I liked the thinly veiled classifieds in the back for killers for hire. You're a man of the world, alright, UG. In fact, I bet you're Bruce's alter ego when he gets tired of being so nice and funny, and wants to let out his inner Neanderthal. :p

BTW, I ran this post through Gender Guesser.

This would explain a lot.

That's OK. I've never met a smart conservative. Scratch one deep enough and it's the same selfishness inside every one of 'em. Put your republinders back on.

Neo-Cons are not conservative in ANY way (smaller government, belief in the Constitution/Bill Of Rights... MY ASS!?) any more than today's Democratic party resembles the Democratic Party's true charter in any way... Clinton did WHAT to the nation's public lands?
Green or Libertarian is the wave of the future... I am a Libertarian, with some reservations on the hard-line environmental policy.
Back on topic...
What is pissing me off is that all Americans are lumped-in with Bush and his insane cohorts with these whiny bitches...
I live in the deep, DEEP, south, however, I have yet to hear the most nutty redneck lump all Iraqis in with the insurgency.

Ronald Reagan completely ignored the same neocons which are pulling the foreign policy strings now. He was smart which is confirmed by the current affairs.

Why do the Yanks always think people hate them when foreigners just hate their guvmint. We love y´all!

The deep south ends at the Florida border. You do not live in the deep south.

Florida is New York State, but with Bermuda shorts and a light jacket in February.

True... if you are not a multi-millionaire you are voting against your interests... just stupid. Neo-cons, mean to boot.

Selfishness??? Spexx, dear boy, you are without experience of William F. Buckley. You aren't going to find selfishness in that guy, nor stupidity. And then there are the right-of-center guys who can keep up with him.

And your first remark was utterly unworthy of reply. Resist the temptation to declare yourself a schmuck, okay?
