the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Speak, Private Begs2Differ!

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you sir! What I think Private Stencil was trying to say was that Mind's nobility is empty depth sir! And that giving's nobility is humanity sir! And that lofty nobility is like water in that it just settles through places people everywhere loathe sir!

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Well said, soldier, stand down!!

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Private Begs2differ, privcate James, carry Private Stencil out into the medical tent!

Mind is a relational concept! It is basically a reification! Define reification for me!

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 02:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Sir! Permission to delineate my more salient thought processes in a rare moment of introspection, sir!

Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Go ahead soldier!!

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:09 (twenty-one years ago)

SIr! I have reason to believe mental activity is the very basis of what humans call a 'soul,' sir! Permission to begin work on a paper expounding this theory, sir!

Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:09 (twenty-one years ago)

No soldier you will not write a paper!!!!

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Permission to cry sir.

Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Sir, permission to teach Private Dirty Muriel about the life of the mind in a John Goodman manner also known as with extreme prejudice sir!

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

permission to xpost sir

oops (Oops), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Permission to speak SIR. Reification could be defined as the random introspection of imaginary, or, otherwise unprovable existant thoughts that have in deed been determined to exist as exemplified in the observations by and of the left wing of the narcicistic movement. In other words, SIR, even you may utterly believe that you may make a damn good soldier out of me. I hope this sincerely helps, SIR!

jim wentworth (wench), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Soldier, I want you to undo your fly now and piss on the other recruits!!! Because that's how far ahead of them you are soldier! You are a real soldier, soldier! Stand down!

amateur!!!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Sir! Permission to point out that all is illusion, even Private Wentworth's eloquent if wrongheaded speech, even your homoerotic and urocentric approval of that speech, even what we like to think of as life and love and these uniforms and this very conversations, it's all illusion sir! Mind is what we call our own human arrogance in the face of sensory perception, sir, and I refuse to take part in any part of it, sir, especially Private Wentworth's illusory penis currently dangling dangerously near my illusory self SIR!

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:30 (twenty-one years ago)

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

"I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir."
"The what?"
"The duality of man, sir. The Jungian thing, sir."

[awkward pause]

"Whose side are you on, son?"
"Our side, sir."

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

SIR! The repeated use of the word "Seaman" forced the Private to stifle a giggle while standing in formation SIR! The Private has no "mind" SIR! The head is where a Marine pisses SIR! And not on his hands SIR!
