Give it up, LL. Your period of relevance is long over.
I just realized something. I think it's healthy to sometimes just create stuff for fun rather than to constantly think about whether humanity deserves extinction or not.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Kexruct said:Two rules of the internet: 1. You always sound like an idiot when you're talking about religion.2. You always sound pompous when talking about your opinions on a webcomic.
No, you can have polite discourse regarding religion. The first thing that has to happen is everyone has to realize that everyone (everyone) involved will have differing, offensive, and irreconcilable opinions on the matter and nobody will convince anyone else. And the other requirement, which nobody likes to do because that requires someone to step up and be the bad guy, is throw out and/or silence all the jackasses who refuse to abide by the first point there.
Going from the first point, the people who annoy me the most in any religious conversation or debate are the ones seeking to please everybody. These people are making it crystal clear that they're pusillanimous pushovers who hold no real conviction on anything, and therefore nothing they say holds any worth.

I dunno, I believe in the whole "live and let live" thing. But I also believe pretty strongly in the whole "live and let live" thing, so I don't know if that counts or not.

In regards to the type of annoying person I'm talking about, they identify as a ___________________ but don't hold themselves to some or all of the standards of said faith or religion that they find inconvenient or just plain don't like. The only religion that I can think of where this sort of thing is acceptable is Unitarianism -- for every other religion, there's going to be something that is objectionable to someone.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Every day is a holiday, Spacey! Even if you have to make one up.
"There was a project for a Muppet movie that we kept returning to. Jim and I worked on it and just loved it. It grew out of the fact that Jim was talking about finances and if we did another Muppet movie at the time, it would need to be done inexpensively, since we were using bigger and bigger budgets for all our other projects...So we conceived of a movie slated as "The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made." That was the original working title and that later became the subtitle with the title along the lines of, "Into the Teeth of the Demons of Death."
The idea being that this was a film that Gonzo directed. Kermit was too busy so when Gonzo asked, Kermit said, "Sure, go ahead. I can't take on the responsibilities behind the scenes at this time, but I'll perform in it." So Gonzo wrote this cheesy, terrible plot that made absolutely no sense whatsoever about something being stolen that led to a chase around the world. Unfortunately Gonzo blows half the movie's budget on the opening titles! So as the film progresses, it gets cheaper and cheaper where they're using a shot of the same street corner for every city in the world! We were still talking about this project in the last meeting I ended up having with Jim.
Every now and then, we still bring up the movie. Six months ago, Frank had said to me, "You know, there's still something in that movie, it would be a lot of fun to do." One thing that kept it from happening though was that for "The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made," it still turned out to be expensive to shoot. Things like a tranquil island blowing up with a volcano and such."
Recommended Touhou to a music professor from one of the most prestigious universities in America.
Found out I got a counterfeit $10 bill.
It's kind of funny, once I got over the embarrassment. The tenner, I mean. It's actually a good 2 cm shorter than a regular bill, on both sides. At first I was ready to break the kneecaps of every counterfeiter in existence, but now that I see that it's such a poor bill, I'm just like

Yarrun: Heh. There's probably even worse out there too.
I remember reading a random internet story a few years ago where someone went to an ATM and found that someone replaced all the $20 bills with random pieces of paper colored in green Sharpie marker.
So, what exactly happened while I was gone? Or did anything happen in particular?
The forum template was turned to red and black for 13 milliseconds. AU and CA got married and had a wonderful relationship until Qwzra retconned it in a foolish attempt to appeal to the youth. I listened to Rush and didn't like it as much as I expected to; Imi disapproves. Mancrates came back for a day, and the events of that day were classified by the U.S. Secret Service. Also, it turns out that all users on this site are the same person, displaced in time through various dimensions under the orders of an unnamed chessmaster (who's really Nepeta, but don't spoil it; she's so cute when she thinks she's a mastermind).

I think maybe with that one he did get a bit soapbox-y but I do agree with it on a less extreme level I guess.
In general he's a bit of a YMMV guy.

Man, I'd totally forgotten about "I Am Hillary" until just now, when I found a copy on an old tape in my brother's stuff. Woo.
