(PS, I loved Snow Crash)

that is because its friggin fantastic.

plus it is almost always on-topic.

for me, at least.

[Perelandra]

I wonder why it hasn't been made into a really sucky movie yet.

[Perelandra]

[Penguin]

Heres some more for you, dear Marmot...
Not so fabulous, Ill try to remember my cam tomorrow on the trails where there are better views...These around 22:00 tonight. My black ninja mtb partially visible.

[OP ED]

i like your helmet, Pengs.

also:

anything with the word "ninja" in it has to be cool.
...

one of mine from this afternoon.

two Latter Day Saints missionaries walk on from OP ED's home:

[actual quotes]

"stay cool gentlemen"





Elder #2: "Can I ask you something: What just happened back there?"

Elder #1: "I have no idea."


...


[hehehehehehehehe]

...

the midnight sun was nice too, Peng. i can barely remember it nowadays myself.


...





...

edit: i'll have you all know i was even nicer to them than i was to the toad, who still lives happily near my storm drain, and will likely continue to do so until one of the serpents finds it.

i have a soft spot for the servants of MorMos.
i certainly wouldn't want to make their lives any more difficult. they said they'd come back though and i told them that was cool with me.

This is oddly inspirational. Since I don't have the patience to craft my own remix of human mythology I may have to join the OTO and an esoteric freemason lodge just so I can deal with the messengers of Moron-I in a humorous manner.

...

well, the "OTO" very well may help you adapt to somewhat clueless however well-meaning post-brain-washed folks with bovine eyes. but really that is about all the good i can say for it. despite knowing some good folks in the various franchises, i've never been too impressed with their practical abilities and never learned anything relevant from them. just another cult. Esoteric Freemasonry is a bit better, but only the frenchies really go in for that sort of thing nowadays. if you're looking for something constructive, i suggest the Silver Star as the way to go.

...

i mentioned that i was nice to them, but mostly this was reactionary.

i couldn't help it. they're just the nicest folks in the whole world. especially considering i answered the door [not the one they knocked on, i never come to the door someone knocks on unless i am expecting someone] mostly naked having just completed my daily workout routine and was violating at least three or four of their substance rules when i did so. [i had a joint in my mouth, a cigarette behind my ear and a jackncoke in the other hand]

i was also carrying a weapon, slung over my shoulder, but this was coincidental as i usually do not answer the doors that way, at least during the day. it was my favorite weapon, actually, and probably the one i'm the most dangerous with, projectiles aside. traditional usage is for disarming an opponent, but in the post-gunpowder world i find the option to kill someone in 1/16th of a second somewhat comforting. especially considering it takes an average soldier four times that long to aim a firearm. it also counts as a "novelty" in the state of michigan and is therefore legal to carry until such time as it is actually used as a weapon.

i mainly use it for forced stretching during my cool down period.

manrikiguasari. not really, as mine comes from okinawa and they call it something different, but the americans at the stores get these things wrong sometimes.





the LDSers didn't seem to notice.

[compared2what?]

Oh, wait. I guess you do.

[OP ED]

hello dear. nice pics.

[from Greek Skeptron]

one of my favorites.

(so many interesting related terms, many of which have already been covered here)

[scythians]

sceptic, etc.

also related to several "cutting" words.

[in the indoeuropean sense of relation]

see aforementioned novel Snow Crash for some of these.
["shit" for example]

sharp words.

i am filled with useless information. however, i am not ashamed therefore i shan't shy from sharing some.

:: ::

see: shake [skhakan, seperate oneself from, flee] also:

shoot, shatter, shop, skirt, scale, scat, score, scope, scare, scan, scape, shallow, shiver, shut, shore, shed, show, shell, shred, shave, shape, shade, scene, scroll, school?, scrap, scrape, scribble, science, skry, skim, skit, skull, skin, skeleton, scrotum, scion, scissor, scoop, scour, scratch, scream...

["see"]

there are others.

of them all, my favorite is "sex". from literally "to seperate".

concise
c.1590, from L. concisus "cut off, brief," pp. of concidere "to cut off," from com- intensive prefix + caedere "to cut," from PIE *kae-id- "to strike" (cf. Skt. skhidati "beats, tears," Lith. kaisti "shave").

[excuse] [discern] [etc]

also other similar words whose roots may or may not be nearby. some may be familiar to those who've read the novel that has formed part of my theme this last couple pages.

Nam-Shub and Ba'al Shem. I could personally at least make a good case for them being related to each other.

see also the general use of the term "staff" to refer to underlings.

...

i don't mean to brag, but i like to boast.

there is a sense of security to not only possessing means of force but being capable of projecting the existence of these means. the consequence of such projection, usually intentional, is often the ability to avoid actual invocations of force. whether or not these ends are justifiable is for someone else to decide. i'm in it for the fringe benefits.

...

see: why tigers sleep so peacefully.

Love is the Law.

(Ba'al te'Shazaar)

[compared2what?]

And not nearly pretty enough for you. Of local interest, though!

[OP ED]

i have a piece or two of it somewhere.

place was awesome. no security whatsoever. you didn't even need tickets really.

....


real tigers are Russian.



...

of course, force projection isn't everything and certainly isn't the only option. sometimes nature lures you in with a promise of weakness and then suprises you.

i remember a concert, just down the block from ole T.S. btw, where i went to go get the car. when i got back i noticed that my favoritest ladyfriend seemed to be having trouble from some drunken primate who'd followed her outside. before i even had time to decide what to do about it, he was on the ground, making pitiful noises and likely wishing he'd been taught to keep his hands to himself.

i did go on over to him, after a moment, but only to laugh at him a bit.

...

of course, i guess a lot of it depends on what one means when one is talking about force projection.

after all, i can't seem to remember ever bending my knees for a man before.
