[Politics] Fuck the Elitists

http://tongodeon.livejournal.com/762944.html

Yeah, what this person says:

""Elitism" isn't thinking that you're smarter than everyone else is - that's egotism. "Elitism" also isn't just thinking that you're smarter than you actually are - that's arrogance, haughtiness, or conceit. It's also not "talking down" or using unnecessarily obtuse or fancy language - that's being pretentious or patronizing. And it's certainly not believing that the most-skilled or best-qualified person should get the job - that's meritocracy."


MY GRASP OF THE BASIC ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ALLOW ME TO DISPLAY IT FOR YOUR MOTHERFUCKING PERUSAL.

Stuff, and Things

Because several things make a list:
-aishlynn is getting a root canal at the moment. Not fun for her.

-We're going to be throwing a Mad Scientist Halloween Party at GMBAN this year - fog machine, dry ice, jell-o body parts, the whole shebang. Pipe up if you're interested in coming!

-Enjoying the overcast and breeze from Ike, and hoping the friends in the Cone Of Death are sufficiently mobile or entrenched to do what needs doing as it heads their way.

-Chicken noodle soup is ass-like if you don't microwave it. Vegetable beef, on the other hand, is basically fine.

-I thought I had something more to add. I know the root canal and the party were the biggies. Enh, you fuckers can suffer through a subsequent post later if it comes back to me.

Oh yeah...

How I can write of D*C as a business expense! Heh.

[C14] Hero Worship

When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

(This is apparently a quote from a mass email my uncle sent out, and aishlynn printed, encapsulating her thoughts of me vis a vis C14. I has a fan!)

Whose hand is that?

Oh, just gargoyl's.... Warm that thing up before reaching under the kilt next time, woman!

Depends.

8. Do you generally think before you act, or act before you think?
More often the former, but the latter works out well when I let myself.

Unhappy? Not particularly. Stressed the fuck out and angry? Oh, yeah.

10. Do you have a good body-image?
