I Just Suddenly Realized!

[Big Jim P]

I jsut realized (because of this thread: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3235), that the only thing worse than Star Trek geeks with too much time on their hands, are Star Wars geeks with too much time on there hands.

Also I just realized that this pic kinda represents the right-wing angst over the gun-taking that Obama is not going to do...

Are you willing to make a bet on that?

No new gun laws introduced or advocated by the Administration, for the next eight years, or you transfer a dollar to my PayPal account?

Ten dollars if there is an actual gun ban introduced by the Administration?

Did you know that the scientists finally found evidence of dark matter on Uranus?

They also found, through satellite photos of Uranus, that Uranus is big and gassy.

What about the aliens from Uranus that keep abducting people? It has to be stopped.

I don't know, I've heard that Uranus has a strange magnetic field that makes it wobble. That might make it difficult to go to Uranus just to wipe out some Klingons.

Sweet Thread

[BunnySaurus Bugsii]

I didn't just suddenly realize this. In fact, I never even read the thread it was from until I saw a link to it in someone else's sig.

It's from the old Jolt forum, and in case that forum ceases to exist, let's have a copy here.

The thread is called "Creationists, is anyone here one?"

598 posts in, Hamilay said this:

This reminds me of nothing so much as if the Charge of the Light Brigade was translated into a forum argument, where the creationists bravely charge Bottle and get messily slaughtered. "It is magnificent, but it isn't debate. It is stupidity."

*snip*

So... enough with my rambling. Bottle needs no help here on the debate front.

Now, that's an easy pitch to hit. But Bottle hits it into orbit!

Half a page half a page
  Half a thread onward
All in the thread of Creationism
  wrote the six hundred:
'Forward, the ID Brigade!
Charge for the Evilutionists' he said
Into the thread of Creationism
  wrote the six hundred.

'Forward, the ID Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the posters knew
  Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to post & die,
Into the thread of Creationism
  wrote the six hundred.

Facts to right of them,
Facts to left of them,
Facts in front of them
  Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with data & theory,
Baldly they lied & poorly,
Into the thread of Creationism,
Into the fait accompli
  wrote the six hundred.

Flash'd all their fallacies bare,
Flash'd as they turned in air,
Duping the masses there,
Charging at windmills while
  All the world wonders:
A smoke screen to cover their shame
And Hitler's "atheism" to blame;
Biologist & Physicist
Laughed from the pseudo-science joke
Battered & plunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

Facts to right of them,
Facts to left of them,
Facts in front of them
  Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with data & theory,
While fallacies & fanatics fell,
They that had stone-walled so well
Came thro' the thread of Creationism,
Back from the fait accompli,
All that was left of them
  Left of six hundred.

When can their gullibility fade?
O the wild charges they've made!
  All the world wonders.
Humor the charge they made!
Humor the ID Brigade,
  Gullible six hundred!

I would have been proud to write that in one hour. Bottle posted it 37 minutes after Hamilay's post.



In case anyone doesn't recognize the famous poem, here's a link.

I just realised that that's no moon!

I much prefer the original poem, personally.

I just suddenly realized that if you take the classic Men Wihtout Hats hit Safety Dance and replace dance with post you have a song about NSG.

Now to keep this from being totally meaningless and spam, what things have you suddenly realized that were funny, life changing, dramatic, or otherwise (ir)relevant?

We can post if we want to

Well they're no friends of mine

I just realised your frivolity in regards to this is quite impressive, sadly, this group and song seem to not regesiter in my memory as of hearing of them or of it.

I also realised you may have incorrectly spelt 'without', unless indeed the group is called 'Men Wihtout Hats'.

Yeah I realized it to but I didn't care. This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg is the song just in case people don't recognize it.

I realised that, whatever I achieve, I'm not content with myself.

I realized I was born to dance on stage with Seth.

I just realized that Men Without Hats were trying to use their hypnotic music to entrance us into wearing condoms.

Safety first!

But condoms do not always offer protection; my friend was wearing one when he got hit by a bus.

I just realized that that poem parody means the creationists WON?!??? And they battered the Evolutionists with 'facts' and 'data and theory'. I'm confused
