It was honest employment, and great fun.Getting up on your hind legs to blather was what you did… What came of it? Perhaps some tittering tee-hees — so, I'll give you credit for entertaining. But was there anything else accomplished? Anything purposeful?Besides stroking your ego, I mean…

Re: Every Thread Goes Bad.... Reply #30 – 2015-05-21, 22:09:32 I am working on a thread that will be so bad that only a couple of our regulars will be able to make it worse.
Re: Every Thread Goes Bad.... Reply #32 – 2015-05-22, 11:58:14 Just for the best on making worse. (Or vice-versa.)
Re: Every Thread Goes Bad.... Reply #33 – 2015-05-24, 23:16:08 Elsewhere on the web, under another name, I've been sore tempted recently to make a text-wall approximately the size of "War and Peace" with no-not-any punctuation. Do you think, if I did this, that this could make a really bad thread worse?

Re: Every Thread Goes Bad.... Reply #37 – 2015-07-02, 23:07:50 Quote from: OakdaleFTL on 2015-05-25, 22:15:41Hey, hasn't anyone noticed that bad threads sometimes go good? Well, I noticed that you said something... does that makes this a good thread? I don't think so but it's certainly a good beginning. After my analysis, you need three people posting for making it a good thread.Three people are enough to represent mankind evolution. One says A, the second says non-A and the third one tries to combine A with non-A. All mankind philosophy never made more than that.DnD is still at a lower stage, it lives, at the best, from A an Non-A posting. Kind of early African humanoids.

Reply #45 – 2015-07-08, 08:13:36 Ella Fitzgerald said…she'd simply forgotten the words!But I myself remember a musician I'd worked with when I was a teenager much later, when we re-united, asking why I didn't tell him I could do that: Sing what I played on the guitar, while I played it!I told him the truth: How did you think I knew what I was playing? That's how I practiced!How could he not have known this? (Too much weed, I think…) Practice is a bizarre concept, for some. Knowing what you're doing is…Well, you know.The idea that people learn to do things is almost verboten, now: Either they're born with a gift or they're "precluded" by racial/ethnic/political/sophomoric memes — which is to say: They are wussies!I'd suggest a poll (but I wouldn't post it…): How many wussies would self-identify?

We aren't too far of seeing books being forbidden, only television induced state of coma being allowed.

(Now, they're stupider… ) Television is a great medium, but it's rare that it's well done.I still prefer books, and (live!) conversation.
