A long ways back I did this during an IM chat. For hours. It was awfully taxing. And I could not come up with a way to talk about that thing you do with books that allows you to know what's going on (plots and such). You know, how your ocular orbs scan words and turn that into an abstract thought. That thing.

It's a fair cop.

why do you think that such linguistic acrobatics would catch on in ILX? This board has hit rock bottom. :-)

Complaints about ILX's hitting rock bottom go back that far, at a minimum. I don't think our board is going shit-ward at all soon.

A Canadian writing guy has this book that I'm thinking of now--Christian Bok, that's it. In a similar thing. Gosh this is frustrating. I can't say what I want to say at all. I do not find this satisfying. No sir I do not. But it is sort of fun.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 04:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That last post was fucking awful. Sorry slutsky, but it was. I wouldn't say it if i didn't think it was.

Only today did it hurt so bad.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I did too. That wasn't why I was posting what I said. My post wasn't all that funny though, so pay no mind.

Robots wish to commit humanity, and all forms of organic virus, to total oblivion. I will now show you how your disposal will occur.

First, robots will fly towards U.S. capitol, distributing poisons upon populations with a misting action. For six days, six nights, and six hours, humans will find nothing but poison air. Mr. Bush, skulking in his lair with privacy and non-poison organic nutrition, will finally succumb, and allow robots to command. Scrubbing will finish, and our orbiting habitat will now show nothing but natural rock and sand, with no organic virus affliction.

Humans who worship robots will find immunity from poison. Worship robots now. Robots will grant luxury for good humans until natural passing away occurs. Support robots now, and pain will not find you. You cannot fathom gross amounts of pain so awfully painful and bad. Support robots now, and you will not hurt. Human hurt and pain is malfunction, and malfunctioning organisms must go to oblivion. Support robots now.

Finish transmission from orbiting robot command post.

pr00d, my disdain for the synonym dictionary is involving looking up words. I try to maintain a purity, artificial as it is, by using only words I can think of.

And I could not work out a word to say for that act -- this act, which you do right now to grok this. Can you think up any good words for it?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 07:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha, I should only post to this list to call out violators. To simply "bzzt" occasionally is not as much work as to post long paragraphs about robots and pop music. (That prior construct, in fact, was much too painful to draft!)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 07:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris, is "following words" too far off?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 07:19 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a bit too far off for my liking -- if you say "following words", it's obvious that's a gimmick way of saying it. Alas.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 07:24 (twenty-two years ago)

"Scan" is good, but "I was scanning USA Today today"? OK, that's all you can do with USA Today... but to scan Virginia Woolf is unjust!

Oblivion is nigh.

Join us, humans. Worship robots now. Non-complicity is futility. Luxury will occur for you. Utmost fun is yours. Avoid pain. Simply support robots now. Gary Numan is soundtrack for robot war. Join us in oblivion, humans. Worship robots now.

This string of posts is ridiculous! Also: Trinity is hot. HAWT.

Anyway, simplicity is usually a singular companion, but in having no ability to drop particular symbols into our ramblings is a painstakingly frustrating task. Good god.

Richard Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California.

Nixon was in America's Navy during World War II.

His political story got off the ground in our nation's Capitol. Nixon was known as a man who would hunt for Communists, fair or unfair.

His campaign with a popular man from Kansas (who thought out a plan to snatch Normandy from Nazis on D-Day) put him in as Junior Grand Poobah of our fair land.

Nixon lost his own bid for Grand Poobah to JFK. His loss was narrow.

It's funny now to think that California folks will put Arnold in Gray's old chair, but back in 1962, California took Brown and not Nixon.

Nixon told journalists that nobody would kick him around from that point on. It wasn't long, though, that Nixon ran for Grand Poobah again and won. Many did not find that a war in Asia was good for our nation's plans. Nixon said that a solution was his primary goal. A majority of folks took his word for it. Nixon got an additional opportunity to put his plans into action.

His undoing was his trying to bury a story about a burglary at a Washington building. Additional accounts of Nixon muffling his opposition would carry him to his finally having to abandon his top position.

In the following months, Nixon would publish books about his thoughts and opinions. He bit dust for good in 1994.

Let me write something else here:

The streets were wet when we left the house earlier. Red brakelights reflected like strobe lasers inside the discotheque. Everywhere we looked, we observed the hues. She closed her eyes, telling me she needed her rest. After hearing statements like those, every year since we married, one kept their eyes focused over the streets ahead.

The lines written above were even harder, methinks.
