It’ll be at some point today.
Siatd and me used to be neck and neck in post counts.
He’s much more of a bastard than me.
This was supposed to be a happy occasion with cakes and jelly and ice cream.
Hello F(r)iends,
I first met SIATD in nineteen dickety six… and I can say with some authority that he is not a bastard! He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, a bastard, but he is not a porn star!
On the day that SIATD arrived, we thought the sky was on fire. Naturally, we blamed the Irish (we hanged more 'n a few). Later we started a toy manufacturing company. The company was the first romance toy made for children, by children! With all the profits going to children! (Well, we are all somebody’s children!). Due largely to the fact that child romance is dead, the company failed and was acquired by Hallmark & Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece!
Shortly thereafter, we started a company that never paid attention to old people or young people. Our target market was the average white male aged 18 t0 49. The company created something the masses wanted and we created a cool slogan for it too… “Nuts and Gum: Together At Last!” Sadly, this venture also failed and we had to resort to becoming philosophers.
SIATD’s first philosophical discovery was that “religion has no place in public schools the way facts have no place in organized religion.” And the rest was history! Congrats, my Simpsons fiend!

hahaha
as always Thirst, very well placed. Oh and congrats SIATD =D> on recieving membership into the “ILP’s my life” club where you can join the rest of the “legends” lol
oh by the way, someday i hope to get membership into that club as well, in due time…
5000 posts? is SIATD an active participator in word association!?
(i’m so onto your post count dunamis)
As of this posting he’s stalled at 4999. Probably just to spite us!
Well, when you get there, happy 5000!
Heh, that sounds about right.
Ahh such freedom, knowing I can say anything and even if he responds, I win!
Let’s see…
Football sucks, yeah the european kind.
Though less knowledgable, my natural talent for pretty much anything far exceeds yours (this includes my laziness… )
The depth of my writing is way too deep for your feeble lungs.
You know I’m right about most of this conspiracy stuff but you just don’t want to admit it…
OG,
LMAO!

Watch it Drift. Dunamis was a god. You, you’re just a minion.

Watch it Liquid. Word Association is not that good. You, you’re… kewl.
Watch it Liquid. Word Association is not that good.
You’re absolutely right. Word Association is a waste land without Dunamis.
(of course I was referring to Dunamis the man, not Word Association the game.)
You, you’re… kewl.
Yeah, I know, you too.

Congrat siatd - I just hope you don’t have repetitive straining disorder!
peace and good will
And to think - I once thought myself a frequent poster…
Happy 5000 Someone. Gold every one.
Well - FeS[size=75]2[/size] anyway…
As of this post SIATD has 4998 post listed; 1 less than last night!
What’s more, he has new postings!
Man is that spiteful or what!

All Dunamis did, and continues to do, is regurgitate other people’s analysis of philosophers that time has proved to be irrelevant. He’s the sports fan that continues to discuss the record of some player from 1963 imagining his motivations for fitting the ball and so forth.
When pressed, he was completely unable to comment on current events or even cross philosophical issues because he was paralyzed by his own thinking. It’s when people started to approach him like a human being that he zipped off to more regulated grounds.
I give him credit for being very funny though.
Wow. Of all the ways to describe Dunamis’ work I would never have thought to describe what he did in the words “regurgitate other people’s analysis of philosophers”
Exactly who was he regurgitating? I would love to read whomever he had learned by rote.
Xander,
He frequently found online reviews of the works that he focused on and then discussed the discussion. For instance, he would remark something like “Jones” said about “Utilitarianism” that it does not meet such and such a need , so it can’t…and doesn’t that make it invalid that…because Jones said…and so forth.
Several times in our discussions I had read the full work by whomever, because I never read anything else but, and I could tell that he was not conversant on the work , then as a rebuttal he would launch into reviews of the work.
That’s like claiming to be a movie buff while only having read the reviews.
This is like a school teacher approach which is just fine if the desire is to keep reviewing the same material, but it’s not of interest to me.
I refuse to congratulate someone for something they
have not done yet, the doorman is still at 4998.
When he hits 5000 and only when he hits 5000, will I
congratulate him. so there.
