fucking savages

[The Duchess of Zeon]

Birkenstock is a tool of the capitalist overclass which exploits cheap third world labor without providing adequate workplace safety and etc. etc.

*blink* Uhm. Ah, Durran, you realize the context?

(I'm going to have to bring back my "Cossacks" quote...)

::Hugs Duchess:: There there, it's going to be all right. Shhhhh, the bad people are all gone, the bad people are all gone, the bad people are all gone...

*hypertensive quiver* Must.. Kill... Birkenstockers....

Hehe. I grew up in Oregon, so I know what you mean. Man, I would have loved to see what you were like in college. No offense, but I bet you threw quite a few of them for a loop.

Maybe I'm missing something.

::Frowns:: Up to this point I thought I'd been nothing but polite... Maybe a tad bit extreme at times, but that's just my nature. Ah well. I suppose I'll try harder to be more civil. You have my sincerest apologies. ::Bows out for the time being::

After the Jessica Lynch thread I don't think even your ideological compatriots are going to call you "polite".

Birkenstockers is a reference to the pot-smoking ultra-leftwing hippie types that infect where the Duchess went to college. It's a referense to the fact that they're always seen wearing berkenstocks or other sandles, I think.

The Washington/Oregon/NoCal Middle Class/College liberal lifestyle involves patronage of Birkenstock. I was railing against "Birkenstockers" in my hypertensive mania as a reformed liberal who had spent time in that region. *grin*

Oh, understood. But Birkenstock is an eeeeeeevil corporation, they have no business wearing their shoes, being so principled and all.

Thank you. That was less kind than what I'd written; I like that.

He has ideological compatriots?

It's best not to point that out to them. Most of the time you can hear the screams as their brains try to cope with it. Usually they also get angry.

Hehe, you're welcome. Like I said: I grew up in Oregon.

I am confessed Marxist because I like the theory. However, I acknowledge that the reality of things is very, very, very different.

So pictures of you marching down mainstreet in Hobart with a rifle and a red banner to seize the local government offices as you sing the Internationale will not be appearing shortly in my paper? *g*

Errrr... those were photo-shopped.

Yeah, I have ideological compatriots?! Since when? Last I checked, both Ghandi and King were dead.

Ok, yes, that thread was tasteless. I had heard reference to it earlier on another thread, and it didn't get flamed, so I figured it would be at least semi-kosher. But it wasn't, and I apologize for the offenses occurred to any and all POW-sensitive members of SD.net for the critical taboo on my part. Fear not, shame is slowly starting to settle in as I am (rightly) getting it from some of my friends.

I just wanna know who the other person was who voted for "hot."

[Coyote]

Well, I'll admit that I'm addicted to coffee.

I can attest to that...

Besides, there are so many worse things to be addicted to.

[Coyote]

I like Queeb and Ando. You guys have alternate points of view that are accompanied by thought. I am slowly (yet tentatively) extending this to Stas Bush as well, although the jury is still out. And I tend towards Hameru, who also tends to think about his position rather than being knee-jerk. Arthur Tuxedo as well.

Still, we all know that folks like me and the Duchess are correct, and see the alternate point of view simply as a means to check how far fom the "odd path" we maintain our course...

Joke, guys, joke.

Later...

[Queeb Salaron]

Aww, coyote... I'm touched.

...Touched like a little boy in a confessional...

But still touched. (Oh, lighten up and laugh at it. No one's looking.)
