The Young

so last year, Petty.

I consider it a bonus if I'm in the right decade Norc!

I'm so 2008

You're so 200-and-late

...no?

I feel dirty now.

Best to make these kind of mistakes when you are still young, Eldo.

That way as you keep making them throughout the coming decades you'll have grown used to being disappointed in yourself.

What amazed me is the absolute lack of any expression or change of expression in the audience behind him. Were they coached to keep poker faces?

I hardly ever understand what the rest of you are talking about unless its sort of grade three, but I find it strangely comforting at three thirty in the a.m. when I cannot sleep and really need to. The repartee is such that I feel somehow as if I am floating on an inner tube down a slow moving creek. awesome.
And Halfwise I am totally fascinated by your lineage. I wish you would make an entire graph as far back as you can remember. I just KNOW you are somebody terribly important.

Leelee - you have to watch the video Norc posted to understand those comments.

Lineage? I crawled out from under a rock. David's the interesting one, he's hitchhiked to ice castles.

Ah but what kind of rock Halfwise? And on which planet?

Oh damn. I shall have to start obsfucating.

romney is a mormon!? omg.. now I understand everything, no offence of course, but it explains a lot..

I used to think he was a moron but he did much better at the debates than I expected.

As far as being a Mormon I don't think it explains anything that wouldn't be explained by being a practicing member of one of the more fundamentalist versions of christianity. Maybe the uber squeaky clean image.

well, I dunno.. but I always like people who has an open mind, and I don't get the impression that well.. I shouldn't talk about it. I'll just end up insulting someone, when I don't mean to.

Yeah, I don't mind Faith at all, but I dislike Religion intensely (i.e. Fascism -- or Theofascism to be precise).

I heard the mormons baptised our late King Olav after he was dead. They probably thought they were being nice, but common! He is not part of that religion, he's a king. stop inflicting your religion upon others

How can you baptise a dead person? Dunk their skull in a bowl of water?
And if he is already buring in hell (and he was a king so quite likely) I doubt it would help much.

someone can be a replacement, really stupid. He was a good king, probably adopted though, but still. a good king.

Yep, it's baptism by proxy. An ongoing process at the rate of several per minute as i understand it. It's mathematically doomed but rather sweet I think.

And if they do it when I'm not around it's really not inflicting anything. Why bother getting upset over it?

But thats baptising someone against their will- they are dead not like they get a say in it- someone baptises me after Im dead I'll come back and haunt the bastards.

Was he given up by his (single) mother at birth, Norc? Was she on the dole in West London - worked as a clerk in the Coal Mines and was laid off by Maggie Thatcher and fell on hard times? Betcha that's exactly what happened! Then her own Father got her pregnant in a blind fit of sexualized drunkeness and when King Olav (the Eighth?) was visiting London nine months later, he bought the baby from her for thrupence and took him home and made him his heir. Love these Cinderalla stories. I guess being inbred, the baby was a natural heir of the Royalty. I reckon I could like a King like that btw.

Are you saying you are inbreed Orwell?

I am not the 'Father' I spoke of, Petty.... Yrrrrk... horrible Scotshobbit! Though I understand your mistake. I do have a certain "Royalness" about me. (And my name's Orwell not Olav - btw!)

Sorry- just seemed to explain a lot....

No it didn't!

Well it would hardly be a suprise would it? What with your ancestors all being stuck in a big prison basically. And we all know what goes on in prison.

How insulting (however true)! Have you no tact?
