Hello boys and girls, how's it hanging?
I have been drowned in a world of work since some point in October and have been gadding around Europe on business - Netherlands-UK-Netherlands-Romania-Netherlands-France-and back home to Holland again. What started off as me being too busy to read and post became simply not being bothered enough to read or post - not that you're not all wonderful people (albeit some in very a window-lickingly special way), and of course "Da Bord" serves a great role in helping dubbies decompress from cultville as well as giving a nice forum for argumentative gits. But I needed a break;
Standard thread;
Person 1; "It is brown."
Person 2; "Ha! And what qualifications have you got to say that? 9 out of 10 scientists agree it is taupe."
Person 1; "But the inspiral carpet of gee-hober says it is brown, therefore it is brown."
Person 3; Can't we all get along?
Person 2; "Brain dead fundy!"
Person 1; "Godless scientists!"
Person 4; "I am god."
Person 5; "No, I am god."
Person 2; "You're both fecking NUTS."
Person 6; "One day I hope to be a god."
Person 1; "Blasphemy!"
Person 2 "Insanity!"
Person 3; "Would anyone like a nice recepie for cookies?"
Person 7; "You are all decieved, JW's are wrong!"
EVERYONE; "RTFM retard, if you'd read ONE tiny SINGLE thread before beating off over us you'd have realised THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE."
Person 7; "Waaah, I'm being opressed."
Person 3; "Awww, you poor dear, can I send you cookies?"
Person 2; "Hey, your stupidity or hastiness sparked the reaction, take some personal responsibility."
Person 1; "As you have correctly identified JW as false may I interest you in THE TRUTH as shines out of my fundyment?"
Person 8; "NIPPLES! ORGASM!! VAGINA!!!"
Person 4; "See, I TOLD you I was god."
Person 9; No dear, you can't be, I spoke with the Lord Gawd of Leggies whilst shelling peas the other day and he clearly wasn't a fecked up drag-queen living in a dumpster. Gawd would never be anything as silly as that, instead he chooses me a a divine cAnal of communication".
Person 8; "Hehehehehe, someone saud 'anal."
Person 1; "Thus we see it is brown."
Person 9; "What's with the WE? It is clearly beige."
Person 2; "TAUPE!"
Person 8 "Bollocks!"
Person 3; "Everyone is entitled to their opinion but we need to learn to get along."
Person 1: "It is brown because I say it is brown; I can't PROVE this. I know others believe differently and have equal belief in the colour they see as I have, but I am simply righterer and enough of a dullard to think repeating myself endlessly will eventually win me the argument when all other parties to it die of terminal boredom
Person 9; "Of course, looking at the alternate manuscripts we can see it might have been fawn, but whatever colour it was it wasn't brown.
Person 2; "That would be on account of it being taupe, as shown by <insert 1,500 words where 250 would do>."
Person 1; "Ah, but this link proves you wrong <URL>."
Person 9; "Errrr... nice you think so, but <insert disertation>."
Person 1; "I still say it is brown."
Person 8; "What are people's feeling about nipple hair?"
etc.
Anyhow, satire aside, down to disaster relief. A (well-placed) little bird tells me that some of the JW's hit by Katrina were "so traumatised" by their expreience they haven't appeared at meetings anywhere since. And this isn't dead peole, these are Dubbies gone AWOL.
Talk about reaping the whirlwind. At a time where people have needed help to rebuild their lives, they go out of their way to avod contact with JW's, even though they once counted themselves as one. The discontent in congregations must be pretty bad if people use a natural disaster to do a fade from the Borg.
