Lesser known quote of Albert Einstein
Which is more important, your personal experience or your faith in someone else’s personal experience?
I genuinely feel that these are quite profound pieces of art, a la Banksy, and so pleased with the Tea Bazarre for letting these linger on walls and minds. While people pee.

I posted a new poll. We got the very strong hint (about half of the voters, with other votes going to joke answers), that the commenting is cliquish and not related to the content. I don’t know that that will change, but now that everyone’s aware, it might slightly. Thanks everyone, for weighing in.
lilith–I share your love of bathroom graffiti (err, does that sound strange?) and believe it indeed qualifies as art. One of my favorite passages was in the bathroom at the C&O, back in the day when they hosted live music. It was entitled “The Developer’s Prayer”
Chop it down;
Fill it in;
Pave it over;
Amen.
BTW, who is Bansky?
http://www.banksy.co.uk/
banksy, along with fred rogers, is one of my personal heros. The man is simply brilliant on so many levels that it boggles my mind.
My favorite bathroom scrawl along the lines of the above:
As far as staying on topic goes, Im just gonna lay it out there… I simply will not be able to do it. If anyone has ever read my license plate will know, I am dedicated to digression. Must be missing a chromosome or something.
As far as clique-ish-ness goes, here’s the deal. I see this board as kind of an open and expanding clique. We ain’t “mean girls”, and there’s no head cheerleader you need to get to admire your lip gloss or anything. Wanna be in the clique then be in it, but that means you have to what? Say it with me… participate! P A R T I C I P A T E. See that rectangle thing with all the buttons and letters on it in front of you? Mash some of those and hit “submit”. Im running my fool mouth on this thing all the time and Im barely literate. Lurkers, come forth… join the frothing hoard.
Frothing hoard? See what I mean. I know there are fifty people out there with better input than that. I mean, c’mon.
b yo has a point. I don’t think too many people knew each other pre-villainy.
I am also a HUGE Banksy fan. He’s like an anonymous Warhol– factory and all.
b’yo, lil do you like my lipgloss?
Caroline, it’s super duper cute. I can see my reflection in it it’s so shiny. I look hot. You’re hot. Can I copy your homework?
Yo is absolutely correct!
you can copy my homework if you come over after school. I have something to show you in my room.
So shimy! I can see myself in your lip gloss… I mean… errr…
I didn’t mean to sound like I was calling forth the frothing hoard.
Um… well..
/I’ll be in my bunk.
*Shiney*
See? Sub literate.
horde.
I am trying to *prove* my sub-literacy here bacon. I am mashing keys. I am trying to inspire the lurkers who think they lack post-worthy shiny lip gloss.
Get with the program.
Haha
Dear Lurkers:
Please write. From experience I can tell you, you will enjoy the Crush party a whole lot more if you post. If nothing else, it’s a great conversation starter. More importantly, if you don’t post, you don’t have a “handle” (nickname). And if you don’t have a handle, you won’t have anything to write on your nametag. And walking around with a blank name tag is just plain silly
Then again you could always use the name Thor…
Where’s the damn snow… I’ve got a house stacked to the rafters with bread, milk, eggs, snow shovels and Magic Minus Zero and no fecking snow.
bread, milk, and eggs … You should make french toast. Everyone loves french toast.
Naaah… its drinky time. Have to keep the blood alcohol level up… it acts as anti-freeze.
you’re my hero, flooze
what are you drinking?
A cheap bot of NZ Sauv Blanc…. had a skin full last night so probably won’t be making you proud tonight. Now if it snowed, I might get my second wind……
What you up to?
guys don’t get all AIM, lurkers don’t like that
Do you think we’ll get reported? I don’t want an office referral over this or I won’t get honor role this semester.
most likely reported, and then Thor will tell all of us to go get a chat room. We could bust outta this place y’know.
welkies say ha. hoom glid nosh hoomdilly dilly.
Does that count as participation? it’s ultra clique super code. Y’all just have to decipher it.
Who wants to bust out? Chat away…what’s the worst that could happen? Other than getting blocked…or sent some sort of hate mail…I really only see that happening the fearless site leaders. Let’s face it, lurkers are just jealous of the tantalizing conversation and hot make out sessions.
But Lu… they have the power of numbers and they vote. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Us actives will be hounded and exterminated so the lurkers can lurk in peace… staring at a post with one comment.
Shoestring… I just cracked the code and the answer is is no, I do not think you should nail your new dwarf rabbit tonight. Sicko.
Lurk!
You guys are too funny and if you left I wouldn’t be inspired to write posts.
That made my vorpal blade go snicker snack!
And yes, it counts.
Flooz, staying in drinking? Me too!
Well let’s have virtual party. Flooze has bad kiwi wine, I have vodka, and Yo what do you have? Tequilla?
Woohoo
Tequila for later. I went and got sixer of that blue mountain full nelson whatever that Im working on. I expect my posts to be perfectly lucid and on topic as the evening progresses.
And shoestring, do you think you could help me with my budget?
LOVE THE DISCS btw Yo!!! Thanks
I’m leavin’ this place…I’m bustin’ out
See you in the real world
“I expect my posts to be perfectly lucid and on topic as the evening progresses.”
I am not going to lie I am in love with the new constant mention of my name…but you all keep spelling it wrong
I think I must run right out an buy this fabulously named stuff.
Silver or black?
If silver, there are 32 more like them. We’ll have to get you the set over time.
If black I think there are six total titles.
And you’re very welcome. Truly my pleasure to spread what I love.
Whoops that was meant for the Lucid alcohol post. However, I am certain your “lucid” comment later tonight will be amazing Yo.
Bel… I’m not in town tonight, otherwise would invite you over…. I’d love to hit Crush and flirt with Greggggg and then off to Mas for a quick session of dry humping in a futile attempt to get to the bar and order a drink. Frottage anyone?
Im too broke to afford fancy alcohol like lucid (or I would be in a bathtub of Patron right now), but I would like to try it.
Nope. Just me an’ my mexican girlfriend, teq.
“…..Truly my pleasure to spread what I love.
B’Yo… so are you a leg man?
Ha. How about we split the cost to try it and what we don’t finish we can sell to some underage high schoolers. Oooppps! Did I just suggest such a thing as underage drinking on such a conservative site?!
Oh and Sil… I hate to be a pedant but there is no such thing as a bad Kiwi Sauv Blancywonky. Degrees of deliciousness but never bad.
Kidding about the conservative site, as you can see Floozy set the example with her leg comment.
Conservative site? Um. There’s that.
Tossed you that one, flooze. Now let me just wipe this frottage cheese off my leg.
Um. Ew.
At least Oy hits the ceiling with his baby gravy… call yourself a man? I’m ripping your trucknutz off as soon as I’m back in town.
tibbar frawd. (that’s just too fun to say). No Floozy, you done got it wrong, but I applaud your obviously sincere efforts.
Sounds like welsh…. fuck I hate the welsh.
I said cheese, not man batter.
Ever have that not so fresh feeling?
What’s so bad about the welsh?
/should I take it personally?
No one should be welsh… they are an abomination
Byo…I have never wanted you more
well tickle me purple and call me an abomination. (partialy)
It ain’t easy bein’ cheesy.
And why, pray tell, is there no “add your own answer” in the poll, like the others? One would think that this poll, of any, would require such a necessity. Kinsey scale, anyone?
And believe me that may just the tip of the iceberg…
I’d add a categorie for sexually straight men who are comfortable flirting with men without particularly meaning to.
is that weird?
Weird? Its a living. They call us metroflexibles.
that’s fucking clever. well done.
there once was a pigeon who thought he was the moon. He shined and shimmered and came too soon. (sometimes he came out in the mittle of the day) Well, one day, He went hunting for trolls (and I have to take a second to say {welcome to the internet}I mean trolls got a bad rap on the internet. they have nothing to do with computers. They live under bridges and ask questions and such. Damn. I’m gonna have to end this story and ask LaGrape to finish it. (yeah, as a sometimes lurkishist I have a fettish for particulars. HUH?
I spelt that wrong, right? (round round baby round round)
like a…….
Shoe – I love what you been posting but (1) I am confounded by #58 and (2) you invoked LaGrape like you know her. Is that true are you guys friends? Do tell.
No, ah, LaGrape I know not personallly. I just think she’d be a good person to end the story. Do You Know Grape? (please tell) I saw her myspace thingy and was instantly creeped out. I think that’s a plus on her side. Anyway… Um. What’s confounding? I thought it was rather staight forward, perhaps you missed the part that you were supposed to read with a funny , eh, voice. You’all read that way, right?
Ok. Helium, and other noble gasses all round. Time for a reading of post 58.
shoe: LMAO re: grape!
dumbfounded I remain…. or perhaps its just too simple
Think New zealand ……(Floozy: No one should be Newzealenders… they are an abomination).
I love you Flooze. don’t take abhorrence.
oH, and …charlottesville , despite all of it’s “PRETENTIONS” mostly thinks everything’s funny. (I think..) Is Good.
being as I am in cig detox-land I can not begin to fathom whatever it is that you’re talking about.
You going to crush on Thirsday. You win the “Newcomer of the Week” award. I guarantee
PS Why are you not out on town. Kids? Hubby? House-arrest? Me, I’m in a vegetative state. I am not even typing. It’s someone else…
Pulling then out, one lurker at a time…
Uhhh huuhhh! Doin’ out part. Don’t see Thor welcoming the new folks do we?
Thor is passed out in a restroom in the Sheets store in Ruckerssville. He’lll catch up in time. Cut him some slack, ya know?
silmo: hush on antagonizing our fearless nordic god. but totally agreed on shoestring as best newcomer!
lurkers: I was once one of you, until I wasn’t. this is way better. No one will hate you, even if you’re Ethan. (too insidery? oh well.)
I love you yo, Good night sweetie
byo, i concur with the lovage of the CDs! illtopia’s now one of my favorite places to visit. that is some, as they say, good shit.
why am i still up? i have to go play football in nine hours, and i need at least ten hours of sleep. fiddlesticks…
you just wanted to break the deafening silence that started when ss called b’yo ’sweetie.’
and you did a great job.
ha ha ha! well, someone had to take one for the team… *bows*
okay, i really am going to bed now. i promise.
rub one out before you go. you’ve earned it.
Do I dare post 5 am drunken comments on back-to-back days? People are gonna talk…ugghhhhh.. I thought for sure I had a conversation with Donk at OXO tonight, but he was several inches shorter than I remember? I even asked about the lack of crutches and being able to get around on two feet?!? Oh well, just someone too f@cked up to realize I was talking about someone else. Schoolgirl night came off splendidly, and I can foresee it being a regular occurrence, but where was Oy? search party will go out at dawn…
Negatory, Ghost Rider.
I didn’t make it to OXO last night. I bounced between Wild Wings, Buddhist, and McGrady’s. I do wish I had at least made it over to see school girl night.
Also, I don’t think I’ll make it to the game tonight. Looks like I’m going to a football party. Yay for the hair of the dog.
It would be super if I wasn’t so hungover that I’m wide awake right now.
Oh yeah…
And I’m pseudo off the crutches these days. You may spot me without them, but I’m probably not supposed to be walking already. Screw that though…. I haven’t walked in over 3 months… I’m pretty excited about it. Now I just have to catch up my gimpy right leg with my left side mega-leg. I guess I should just hop on the other leg for a couple months?
My meth induced 2 day bender is finally over. It began in a cabin by the woods. I’m not quite sure where it was but it was somewhere between wintergreen and the pig farm. After 2 ounces of meth huffing, i inhaled 10 nitrous ballons, chugged a bottle of 2 fingers and somehow ended up in ruckersville with a 2 dollar tranny. Let me tell you the 2 dollars didn’t go very far cause i was so high on painkillers. Also, it may have been non-human. In fact the blow dry hand drier may have been the tranny. I don’t really remember. Mercury egg yolks are back. But between the pain, meth mouth and the lesions on my back, I think I’m going to be ok next week.
Welcome newbies and future lurkers. Sorry I was away. Hi Shoestring.. are you me?
Call an ambulance for Thor!!!! Honey I really care about you, and we have been waiting here for you, we all think it is time……NO, no this is not an intervention, erh really, we are just concerned about you thats all….No don’t back out the door, come on in and have a cookie, and a cup of coffee, there is a good friend here who wants to talk to you about your “options”….No they don’t call it rehab now-a-days…
somebody grab that straightjacket….
Gladly, I am not you Thor.
Once a fellow from belmont woke quite sick
And found he could only type in limerick
Though the rhymes are sublime
Hope it clears up in time
For this medical condition is cryptic
Hello Belyo, welcome to this gathering….erh Surprise I guess one can say…why don’t toy go sit next to Thor?
that would be “you”
Kinsey, very good stuffs.
Two oh four, you are quite a viking,
and I believe your visage is striking
but this “intervention”
would become a “convention”
I dont think it would be to my liking
Belyo is Rimeing
great timing
We shal save you now
could b’yo be shoestring??
Geez peoples’ Can’t I just be me?
I mean really I just can’t see
why you’d jump to conclusions
I mean, I have no illusions
of being anyone quite other than me.
(not trying to jump on your limericks bandwagon byo. keep up the good work. I’ll need some good reading later on.)
shoestring, why does your website go back to cvillain?
because cvillain is the nexus of the internet, duh.
Is that against the rules?
shoe, you going to Crush on thursday?
the rules, the rules… shoestring has just brought the rock in a big way this week, and totally out of the blue. You’re shaking people up, people who thought they already knew all the cool people worth knowing.
I still think you’re thor. But I don’t know him either…
parlie you’re right i forgot. welcome to the internet to me
do you know me? i don’t know half the people who know me. it’s a big problem, although i don’t really seem to care too much.
are you asking me parlie?
so shoestring came out of the blue
posting bits asking what could be true
she once was a lurker
but now a berzerker
she’ now one of the clique-iest few!
i’m asking the whole internet. all 5 of you.
“You’re shaking people up, people who thought they already knew all the” …..people with the ability to simultaneously drink
type somewhat
coherently?
there was an and in there somwhere. I tried to create my own htmlcode in there and it took me seriously and done disappeared it.
Parlie, Who are you?
I’d tell byo I’m not a girl, but then I wouldn’t be quite as popular.
well that’s not any fun at all, now is it?
I don’t know this fellow named parlie
for all I know he could be chris farley
out of all of you
Ive met quite a few
But knowing everyone would be gnarly
On the internet the question of gender
can be quite a serious mind bender
so you’re not a girl
Im not gonna hurl
As for friendship, its not a deal ender.
belmont you are making this the best day ever. how bout you rock the mic next time?
i just want to take a time out and say that these limericks are fantastic.
b’yo, we met at zinc. i was wearing a name tag that said parlie. we were drunk and surly to each other for a minute, then grew weary of the act and went our separate ways. as shenanigans would say as she plagiarizes my catch phrases, “it was magical.”
I thank you but its a disease
I woke writing limericks with ease
I’d cease and desist
but I just cant resist
Eventually they’ll all sound like cheese.
My memory of zinc is quite curly
but I doubt I would ever be surly
and as for the act,
lets make a pact,
lets let it go and all will be pearly
Parlie, as one of the five, no I don’t. I doubt I know anyone here. As for Thursday Silmo, I’ve got “other plans” (he said all mysteriously).
yeah, there’s really nothing to let go. it’s all good.
now make with more poetry. MASH THOSE CYMBALS, CHIMPY!
limericks are for wimps
true masters of written word
write in haiku, yo
parlie you have a beard?
weekend style, broken
challenged by a palindrome
haiku next sunday
oy from downtown wrote
haiku against limerick
too many syllables
yawn.
me likey haiku.
Its hard to switch styles in mid sentence
forgot to drop “a”, makes no difference
’sides Im limericking
like the limerick king
(by the way, haiku need a seasonal reference).
(golf clap)
winter of sorrow
no more haiku for oy-san
too sober for this
Golf clap….. where I come from The Clap is the worst STD, so this would be a dose of syphilis contracted whilst humping in a bunker and trying to score a hole in one.
Just a little cultural gem from your resident ‘fucking foreigner’ as I was called this week by my BF Silmo.
xx
i never said i had a beard. you said that.
but yes, i rock a jaw sweater. people say it’s red but only in the sunlight. i can’t tell because i don’t walk around outside with a mirror. that would make me some kind of an asshole.
Oh and I know you don’t care, and I don’t care that you don’t care but the limerick/haiku thing has to be over. Please.
Parlie… we need to know if you are a ginger bastard or not. It’s important.
you’re important.
flooze do you want me to beat silmo up? I will for you.
No… if anyone is going to slap Sil around the chops it is me… and only if he get’s off on it.
Parlie… ginger nuts or no ginger nuts? Scare the crap out of the neighbors (shit that’s me) and greet the morning sunrise with your Spongebob pyjamas around your ankles and tell us if you are a ginger pubes or not.
you’ll still respect me if i do? i’ll do it if you promise you’ll call me!
CALL ME! PLEASE!!
i’m kidding, i will do no such thing for you.
Parlie… you are playing hard to get, which gets me all foamy.
But it may be rabies so I’d keep a wide berth.
Is everyone at evening mass or what?
Haiku? Wait let me look it up… 17 syllables…
you got the dix you
got the clitz love it’s a bitch
- stones, sticky fingers
sorry silm, you’re still my biatch biatch. Please give two a good makeout for me.
silm, why can’t you get text messages from me??
Why does a woman with a hearty, jovial and unashamed sexuality scare you?
women with a hearty, jovial and unashamed sexuality just plain ROCK!!!
