The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

This is what you all get for talking about anything tangentially related to me while I'm looking for an excuse to procrastinate from work.

All your fault Galla...

Hang on, we'll go read up on.... whatever it is specifically you're actually studying, I don't ask for details in fear of you actually telling me and then I'd have to nod along and smile like the conversation isn't boring me to distraction and I start looking around for the nearest heavy blunt object to end the seemingly eternal suff-

I had a point there, but I had to be emphatic on political majors.

We'll go read up on that so it becomes the topic of conversation and you have no escape.

BEHOLD, I bring you a patron goddess for the thread:

ATETe is a fertility goddess worshipped at Kafa (Ethiopia). She was assimilated into the Christian cult of the Virgin Mary, but is probably the subject of an ancient fertility rite performed by women who collect various sacred plants and throw them into the river. The festival is known as Astar yo Mariam (Ephiphany of Mary).

We also have the wonderful TETe–à–TETe form to include, as it is indeed wonderful to talk face to face - or in this case, account to account, since well, distances, and interwebs and all, and ... right then.

Our favorite vintage video game would have to be TETris, of course. I mean, we certainly do stack messages one atop the other as fast as we can sometimes.

The favored shape, the TETrahedron - go go triforce win! (No, nevermind me, I'm two days down on proper sleep, and giddy with pain. Just roll with it.)

The Geographical Point of Interest - the Grand TETons. For a number of reasons, amirite? Way-HEY now. I wouldn't recommend you tackle them whilst wearing STETsons, however. That way lays blisters and tears.

If you're not careful, you could get TETanus from some of the edginess that creeps in here and there, especially around some of us old rustbuckets ... >_>

We favor TETrarchies here, often in the form of Nana, Gallade, and the Holy Thernsy. Long may they be fabulously awesome. The second of which has brought the discussion surrounding the science of ObsTETrics to the thread on many an enlightening occasion.

Nevermind if some of us get a bit TETchy now and then - it can happen to the best of us. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass, and help yourself to the fresh TETrazzini. We'll pool in for a round of TETherball after we've had some time to digest.

Or have I gone completely off my rocker here, and have too much TET on the brain? I'm afraid my mental wanderings have gotten increasingly peripaTETic as I age. :unsure:

Ah, but that's the genius of it. It's an essay on essays (no, seriously).
