Zen, do you reckon you could do some more of what you get paid to do here?
Q: How many conservative economists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. The darkness will cause the light bulb to change by itself.

Please explain how darkness will cause a light bulb to change it self.
This ought to be a pretty damn short thread, in this place. I have a feeling it won't be, though.
Emma -- think about it. I believe that's what we call a metaphor.

OMFG - that is by far the funniest thing EVAH! It almost makes your other 190+ annoying posts worth it. ALMOST!
Classic, she's a kid. She doesn't get any historical, literary, political, economic, or cinematic references. She knows nothing, but thinks she knows everything.
I'll do my bit to lengthen the thread. We leaven the lumpenproletariat.
Doesn't mean we think they're all the way bright, but it also doesn't mean we think they are hopelessly dumb. The guy who can learn without recourse to a two-by-four is a leg up on the chap who needs that study aid to let the light in.
Ludwig van Mises would definitely approve of somebody noting the situation

and concluding that there is too much darkness and not enough light -- and hiring on to change that bulb. Entrepreneural.
How many psychiatrists? -- Well, the light bulb has to really want to change.
THERE was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparell'd in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
Hmmmmm....UG appears and lil Emma disappears.
Are they one and the same?
What, this again??
Redux, it takes a two-by-four! Makes me tired.

I have like 4 other forums running in the background that are full of liberals who need me to educate them just as much as you liberals need me here to educate you... I can't be eveywhere at once!
[SIZE="5"]Please be patient![/SIZE]

Or a tea-party two step...you and lil Emma both are a hoot!
BTW, I would vote not to ban either of you.

You spelled "are hot" wrong!
Hmm. That was
Wordsworth. Well chosen quote, Juniper. Wordsworth tends to run on and on and on, as in that lengthy Ode on Intimations of Mortality etcetera, but that one was very nice.
Thou, whose exterior semblance doth belie
Thy soul's immensity;
Thou best philosopher, who yet dost keep
Thy heritage, thou eye among the blind,
That, deaf and silent, read'st the eternal deep,
Haunted for ever by the eternal Mind,—
Mighty Prophet! Seer blest!
On whom those truths do rest . . .
Jupiter? LOL
IMmortality.... :)
Ah now if you're going to quote Wordsworth (who did often run on and on it's true) then you have to have Composed Upon Westminster Bridge.
Well, you don't have to, but I love it.
And I've stood there so often myself.
You get a better view from Waterloo Bridge, but Wordsworth didn't have the opportunity back in 1802.
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This city now doth, like a garment wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
Open unto the fields and to the sky,
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendor, valley, rock or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
Wordsworth?
Fucketh progress and
Stow the modern world wherewith
None shall pass! Alas!
the nightengale no longer Sits
Upon my Hallowed Hand but YON
she does FLY away to distant, unknown
Land.
Away! with Mighty PROGRESS and
Industrie!! Away, I say!
And give me peace to LIE
under the lime-tree Bower -------sorry, Coleridge!
and think Upon this golden
HOUR.
HA!
he was kind of a fukker.
He had an interesting sister though.

yeah, we didn't get too much about his sister in class. What do you know of her, Sundae?
we did watch the movie about Coleridge and Wordsworth...me and Juni saw it in class...Pandaemonium. Was good. Bright Star, movie about Keats and Fannie Braun was GREAT.
My poem kind of rocked, though, didn't it? *hopeful poet eyes*
SG: well, I was only looking for something about a flashlight. ;)
I'm more of a Burns fan, myself.
Yeah, Bri. You should send that in to Fogdog.
Your poem totally rocked, Bri.
I'm so stoked I'd give Bram a run for his money.
I've read Dorothy Wordsworth's diary.
I mean it was published and everything, I didn't sneak into her house at night.
She was a poet herself, but only wrote privately.
And she looked after her brother.
Yay! It's 2009, women can be poets and not have to look after men any more!
Juni: Burns? I'm more intelligible when I'm falling down drunk!
I'm a word fan myself. Burns just threw random collections of letters together.
I'll take your neeps and tatties though.
Sometimes gibberish is cool, too, though, don't ya think?
Such as: Jabberwocky et al.
Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll and Spike Milligan did it well.
Burns was just a rambling Scot.
[hides from anyone claiming Scottish ancestry]
This is my favourite Burns poem. I don't understand all of the words. But I think the gist of it is beautiful. It was never published in his lifetime.
A Poet's Welcome To His Love-Begotten Daughter:
The First Instance That Entitled Him To The Venerable Appellation Of Father
1784
Thou's welcome, wean; mishanter fa' me,
If thoughts o' thee, or yet thy mamie,
Shall ever daunton me or awe me,
My bonie lady,
Or if I blush when thou shalt ca' me
Tyta or daddie.
Tho' now they ca' me fornicator,
An' tease my name in kintry clatter,
The mair they talk, I'm kent the better,
E'en let them clash;
An auld wife's tongue's a feckless matter
To gie ane fash.
Welcome! my bonie, sweet, wee dochter,
Tho' ye come here a wee unsought for,
And tho' your comin' I hae fought for,
Baith kirk and queir;
Yet, by my faith, ye're no unwrought for,
That I shall swear!
Wee image o' my bonie Betty,
As fatherly I kiss and daut thee,
As dear, and near my heart I set thee
Wi' as gude will
As a' the priests had seen me get thee
That's out o' hell.
Sweet fruit o' mony a merry dint,
My funny toil is now a' tint,
Sin' thou came to the warl' asklent,
Which fools may scoff at;
In my last plack thy part's be in't
The better ha'f o't.
Tho' I should be the waur bestead,
Thou's be as braw and bienly clad,
And thy young years as nicely bred
Wi' education,
As ony brat o' wedlock's bed,
In a' thy station.
Lord grant that thou may aye inherit
Thy mither's person, grace, an' merit,
An' thy poor, worthless daddy's spirit,
Without his failins,
'Twill please me mair to see thee heir it,
Than stockit mailens.
For if thou be what I wad hae thee,
And tak the counsel I shall gie thee,
I'll never rue my trouble wi' thee,
The cost nor shame o't,
But be a loving father to thee,
And brag the name o't.
my favorite burns poem has 'fuck' in it. "If a body fuck a body, comin' thru the rye..."
how does a liberal change a light bulb?
He doesn't because he's to damn lazy!

Yeah. My favourite Larkin poem has 'fuck' in it...I'm spotting a theme!
Still the same bad spelling and grammar. Who does she think she's fooling? :rolleyes:

Mine, too! i just like that fucking word!! a lot!
I think Larkin must've been a downer as a date, though. all that angst.
Bri, that verse reads more like Blake on some very anachronistic acid.
For serious glommage of poetry, Shelly and Chesterton are more my speed. And there's always something graceful about Robert Frost.

Only a retard doesn't understand retard gibberish.
Spexx, you trying to come off like a hardass is like Donny Osmond dressing up in a black leather jacket.
Your a sock puppet?
The grammar police strike again! It should be:
You're a sock puppet? (notice the placement of the apostrophe) ;)
UT, make her vanish again, please.
WTF?
Believe me, SG, it was not a successful showbiz self-reinvention. Donny Osmond was and is famous for being the anti-badass. He's a nice Mormon boy with a good singing voice, pretty good variety-show hoofer too, and a famous array of good American teeth.
She outta be replying to this thread any moment now....

Ha, ha... They wait for someone from the Government to come along and take care of it for them while watching Jerry Springer and eating free government cheese with their illegitimate welfare children.

Busted.
What did you expect when you brought it out of the archives.:rolleyes:
Busted.
No, the light bulb was only burned out... said nothing about it being busted.
Request for thread lock
Under what reason are you requesting a thread lock??
