Thought for the day - September 25th

It is essential to the sanity of mankind that each one should think the other crazy -- a condition with which the cynicism of human nature so cordially complies, one could wish it were a concurrence upon a subject more noble.

The problem with this is that far too many people believe the corolary: "Only I am sane." Happily, most of us Muddies glory in our insanity. --seed

Patsclaw, with the title Village Idiot all sewn up (even if shared with Banjer), for you to be called any kind of moron would require about a 30 point boost in your IQ. We must all be satisfied with God's gifts as he gave them; peace, brother. Go back to your place in the sun and resume masturbating.

The Royal Welch Fusileers marched dowwn the road resplendent in red coats and white britches with yours truly in front, {as the pioneer should be} ready to quell the rebelious colonials.
hows about that then?.

Marching sounds like serious work --- howz about taking a break and stopping by the tavern for a drink and the music? (what if they gave a war and nobody came?-John Lennon?)

Seed, the Village Idiot title is still up for grabs as it too is about another 30 points above me. I am confident and secure in my position as "Grossly Scatalogical Irreverent Fockup." El Swanno feels that the acronym alone assures it, as in, "Geesif he'd only shut up" or Geesif he isn't stupid." ...or fill in the blank yourself.

Hell, Patsclaw, after the dancing Jesus link, you can have anything you want: thirty points? No problemo. Sixty points might bring you up to low average. More, hell, I have lots to spare (I'm nowhere near my credit limit--but I hope Y2K doesn't bring a sudden call for closing delinquent accounts). That I'm running a big deficit is reflected by the fact that I'm still here talking to you, when with us both on line at the same time, God could save his lightning and just zap us through our keyboards. OUCH! Holy shit! That hurts, your divine godliness! Jeez, Spaw, did you get that one too? --seed

Awfergawdsakes....Here it is an hour later and when I hooked up the fockin' keyboard knocked me on my ass and the mouse attacked my genitals........Luckily Cleigh was here to pull him off.........We CAN'T BE ON AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Seed, we may be in serious trouble here at midnight on 12/31/99..........Call Father Joebro in NOW!!!! So what are you up to for salvation?

I dunno, Patsclaw. I think the good friar has given up on saving my soul, and the Christian Coalition would as soon see me dead (and my wife intimated the same thing this afternoon, but she'll resist the temptation to hasten my departure, I think...). As someone who follows his doctor's strict orders never to drink by never drinking more than a pint or two, I can't face the new millenium sloshed. Besides, it really doesn't start for another 15 months, anyway: 2000 is simply the last year in the 20th century. When it gets close to New Year's Eve 2000 I think I'll consult the Weekly News of the World to find out where the safe places are (where Elvis, Princess Diana, John Kennedy, and the world's biggest baby will be when the clock turns for good: them's people what's bound to be in the right place--probably boarding the same space ship that picked up the Heaven's Gate folks). --seed

By the way, what do you suppose it means when I find out that the only way I know for sure that my message made it to the threads is when I get a Browser Alert statingThe attempt to load Œhttp://www.mudcat.org/ThreadNewMess-Sub.cfm¹ failed.

Somehow I've always thought of myself as being a bit of an eccentric, which when compared to an idiot wouldn't necessarily make any more sense than comparing a hippy to a bohemian. That being said I can only postulate that in the realms of Mudcatism it is lower than whale shit to try to embellish ones ignorance as criteria for any position of stupidity. It would be harder than caribou dung on an arctic out cropping to actually verify who is de most stuppidier when there are so many highly qualified candidates. I hereby throw my hat into the ring......oops that's the toilet.

Seems to me that the only difference between an idiot and an eccentric is how much money they have. If you're poor they say you are an idiot...But if if you have riches untold, you are classed as an eccentric.

Golly Banjer ~ if we only look at a catters bank balance and/or lack there of, to determine who is the Village Idiot, then I would be a "shoe in". I personally feel that there is a whole lot more involved in being classified as an IDIOT than being poor ~ TAKE OUR POLITICIANS ~ for example!

I guess you are right about one thing ***IDIOTS RULE***
