Boredom is the last refuge of the incredibly lazy, and is to be savored as the rare treasure it is.

You mean on a cell phone? I don't have one of those. I do have AOL Instant Messenger for when I'm at home.

I'll immediately and joyously avail myself of your propitious proffering of this serendipitous opportunitity to demonstrate that I've bookmarked the link to Dictionary.com

I don't know those, but the most accurate definition of Power I know is (paraphrased, because I can't find the exact quotation), "having others accept your definition of Reality as their own."

Not ... correct...? I don't think so. Still, better mocked than flocked, I suppose ... : (

Socks.

I don't go in much for actual insulting people (politicians gratefully excepted). Though, I remember someone telling me once of a Quaker who got upset with someone, and who remarked "I expect thy mother to scold thee, when thou returnest to thy kennel."

Question 8: Do you believe that the best conversations take place after midnight?

Currently-available data is too out-of-date to allow a valid evaluation. While previous trends have shown this to be a plausible hypothesis, further experimentation would be required to achieve a statistically significant conclusion. So far, NIH has declined to fund my grant application, so unfortunately government stipends will not be available for test volunteers.

To what question? As a matter of policy, no. As a matter of personal, imminent self-defense, maybe yes.

Question 10: Why are we awesome?

I suspect it has to do with the lack of that pesky, mutant Y-chromosome. Also because you've managed to distract people with this super-long but photographically pointless thread, while you were probably out shooting winning photos instead of missing the deadline ...

I haven't heard back from my lawyer so I'm just going to take a quick stab at this. Please note you may find some of this offensive but trust me it's not!

Question 1: Explain the difference between on-line journal, forum, and chat.

Journals are more for women who seem to think the world is interested in what they have to say. Forums are geared more towards men who need a place to discuss important things like sports, photography, etc. I'm not sure what chat is but I assume it's what women do on the phone for 4 hours straight. Grrrr.

Question 2: Do you have unlimited text messaging capability, and desire to perform same?

Probably, however I don't understand why it even exist when we have voice communication at our finger tips.

Question 3: Can you spell? Prove it by using vocabulary.

No. That's what Google is for.

Question 4: Name your favorite law of power, per The 48 Laws of Power.

"Always Say Less than Necessary". Which I'm applying to this question and maybe some others. :)

Question 5: Are you willing to be mocked for not answering Questions 1-4 correctly?

I probably don't have much choice in the matter so why are you even asking?

Question 6: Just answer the darn question!

Is this a statement or a question? I see no question mark in your sentence. Stop confusing me!

Question 7: Name your top 3 insults, and tell stories about when you've actually used them.

Well, I only provide opinions not insults. Insults are something you and others call opinions that you don't like. For example, if I said this thread was lacking in substance and should be killed immediately you may perceive that to be an insult but really it's just my opinion, hypothetically of course!!!

Question 8: Do you believe that the best conversations take place after midnight?

Probably. Day folks tend to be lame and uninteresting but that's just my opinion of course.

Question 9: Is violence the answer? Please elaborate.

Violence is never the answer. There are far more effective/torturous ways to get even or under someone's skin without physically touching them. Unfortunately I can not elaborate on this per my favorite law of power. Sorry.

Question 10: Why are we awesome?

Hmmm. I know very little about you two. However, having just read MK's bio I feel I should say you two are friggin awesome! And oh yeah feel free to lose sight of this post.

Edited for spelling (thanks Google!)

You do just fine without the help of your lawyer. However, you must now contact him as I am deeply offended and will be pursuing legal action.

Shit. Who left that post under my username???

Question 1: Explain the difference between on-line journal, forum, and chat.

A journal is like a diary, a place where private thoughts are written by one person, an online journal is obviously the same thing only online to be read by anyone interested in whatever scandalous/illegal bahavior documented there. A forum lets everyone post and a chat is just a high-speed forum

Question 2: Do you have unlimited text messaging capability, and desire to perform same?

No and no. I have no one to text, or that will text me back.

Question 3: Can you spell? Prove it by using vocabulary.

I have my moments of spelling brilliance, this is not one of them.

Question 4: Name your favorite law of power, per The 48 Laws of Power.

Law 15

Crush your Enemy Totally

All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation: The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit.

Did you expect anything else?



Question 5: Are you willing to be mocked for not answering Questions 1-4 correctly?

Mock at your own peril

Question 6: Just answer the darn question!

I did.

Question 7: Name your top 3 insults, and tell stories about when you've actually used them.

I don't insult people. I just let them think everything is OK between us. Then, when they are not expecting it, I exact my revenge.


Question 8: Do you believe that the best conversations take place after midnight?

No.

Question 9: Is violence the answer? Please elaborate.

Not usually, but sometimes, and thankfully, rarely, you have no recourse other than to pound the crap out of someone. It's best to speak softly and carry a big stick and keep the stick hidden until you need it.

Question 10: Why are we awesome?

MK is of course just bitchin' and awesome by nature, so by association, L2 must be as well.

edit to add:

My picture, I dunno about sexy but here I am:

In one of my various no-content-except-for-a-splash-page phases on my website, the front page of my site said "Crush your enemy totally." I ended up having to take it down because my relatives kept calling up to hassle me about it and calling me a nihilist.

MK and L2 are bored.
Commiserations.

Amuse us by answering the following questions, and posting your hottest shot of yourself.
Can't guarantee the former. I don't have any of the latter. Will this do? Walrus Kavey

Question 1: Explain the difference between on-line journal, forum, and chat.
There's a difference? Guess that's why I'm killing so many threads on DPC, boring so many people in chat and talking to myself in my blog.

Question 2: Do you have unlimited text messaging capability, and desire to perform same?
Well, we do use SMS more here than you Murkins do but I haven't got the muscle definition in my fingers to be a champion.

Question 3: Can you spell? Prove it by using vocabulary.
I can spell Shiny Pants.

Question 4: Name your favorite law of power, per The 48 Laws of Power.
I have my own laws of power. But I guess these ones work best for me:
Play on PeopleĆ¢€™s Need to Believe to Create a Cultlike Following
(evidence: I am the Benevolent Dictatoress)
Play to PeopleĆ¢€™s Fantasies
[evidence: I'm lying on the floor, camera on my crotch, surrounded by men... if that's not a fantasy I don't know what is
Create Compelling Spectacles
(evidence: Well... I wear spectacles...)

Question 5: Are you willing to be mocked for not answering Questions 1-4 correctly?
Prepared? No. Resigned? Yes.

Question 6: Just answer the darn question!
Just ask the darn question.

Question 7: Name your top 3 insults, and tell stories about when you've actually used them.
You are a stinky poo - I use this most days to most people
I'd call you a fuckwit but that assumes anyone would fuck you and you have any wit - OK I made that up just now but it's good innit?
You remind me of me, look we have the same shiny pants and we both talk bollox - mk that one's just for you!

Question 8: Do you believe that the best conversations take place after midnight?
Obviously. But only when I'm there.

Question 9: Is violence the answer? Please elaborate.
Always.

I'm a murdering bitch:

Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and loss is too empty to share...
Mark Z. Danielewski

Question 10: Why are we awesome?
Awesome is as awesome does and you do awesome.


05/23/2006 12:27:43 PM · #34
I should offer a clarification. L2 and I are bored with people. We are much too busy using our powers for awesome to be generally bored. However, the collective genius of everyone's survey responses is renewing our faith in humanity. Thanks pals.

Question 1: Explain the difference between on-line journal, forum, and chat.
On-line journal: Brain dump.
Chat: Consensual, simultaneous brain dump.
Forum: Asking permission to execute a clueless brain dump while inviting others to do the same.

Question 2: Do you have unlimited text messaging capability, and desire to perform same?
Only my ISP knows...

Question 3: Can you spell? Prove it by using vocabulary.
v-o-c-a-b-u-l-a-r-y vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry-vodkabullerry Mesmerizing, isn't it?

Question 4: Name your favorite law of power, per The 48 Laws of Power.
Assume formlessness.

Question 5: Are you willing to be mocked for not answering Questions 1-4 correctly?
Yes, and I'm willing to be mocked for answering them correctly.

Question 6: Just answer the darn question!
All my socks are new. Should you need help with your socks, I have a darning form and the appropriate thread. The technique is quite simple for completing the hole mending but it takes some time to master. I'm willing to provide one-on-one lessons--just send me a PM.

Question 7: Name your top 3 insults, and tell stories about when you've actually used them.
1. Really!!!
>:(
2. Really???
=O
3. Really.
:|
I use these all the time. Inflection is everything.

Question 8: Do you believe that the best conversations take place after midnight?
Your time, or mine?

Question 9: Is violence the answer? Please elaborate.
No. It's the problematic question. If there were no violence, would there be harmony? Where does peace begin?

Question 10: Why are we awesome?
Because you're "bored" and the first thing you thought to do with your boredom was to seek out answers to life's troubling problems in this forum from us peeples.

IMAGE: Sorry, I'm not a "hot shot" and if I were, I wouldn't tempt fate by blowing out anyone's monitor.

edit to add: This is quite the demanding essay exam and I entirely understand if the proctors have become slumberous while awaiting the answers. ;)
