Newest CRAY-PA piece I call, "rainbow guy, come on up outta that black!"

Living up to your name huh? ;)

Ooops. Sorry bout that.

Way late to the party:

I can't justifiably say that Foucault's Pendulum is better than The Da Vinci Code, because I've only read Foucault's Pendulum(and I can't say I'll ever read The Da Vinci Code). But I do love Eco, and I can also completely understand why others wouldn't. I'm one of those people who happen to love when writers don't give a shit about their own plots, and spin off into never ending tangents about the whimsy and malice of the human condition. Same reason I'm starting to like Gibson's later work more than his earlier. Same reason I love Terence Malik. I understand Kundera is at this, but have not read him yet.


=^.^=

I'm currently reading Getting Out...but I found it on amazon.com...lulz

I bought a graphic novel I couldn't find at my local bookstores from R6XX.com, and it came straight to my house in the mail! Not only that, the contents hadn't been altered in any way.

the desire to create is the motivating force behind humankind. the greatest creation of all is the life we have and which we are constantly fashioning, moment by moment. each step along the journey is a creative exercise, the manifestation of our future, our destiny, our meaning or purpose. there is more to life than earning a living or surrounding ourselves with whatever comforts take our fancy...expressing your individual divine potentials, for instance.

the source is you, inside the creation and not without.

understanding is not learned like knowledge; but comes in a flash of lightning, like inspiration.

be inspired.

You know, I never really thought about it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. This... astonishes me!

LIBERTINE IS AWESOME

HE SETS ME FREE INSIDE

THANK YOU LIBERtINE

Man, I love you guys.

Hey Milky, let's save the hissyfits for Kill It With Fire. I'm way too lazy to look through the transition for you. Crying dick and elitism enrages me so... but please, save something for the races. Until then, remember, you are special.

Also I think if you would just concede to Libertine that bad grammar is a dead-on indicator that you are either black or emulating blacks, this would go much smootherly.

Darsno people need to be able to quote TV freely in order to connect with others and elucidate their thoughts. You cannot squelch expression like this.

um yo, if you mispell shit in the middle o' da nite when you're tired and cranky, yo, yo yo yo, you is probably emulating another culture, which, incidentally (yo) has probably just start being emulated... in ALASKA.

Libertine, please don't quote The Wire. I love that show, and you're ruining it for me.

i read Kant & the Platypus by U.Eco lsd year... well worth th read-helps get the brain working

Milkman Dan: Not that much hangs on it, but you might want to give "Foucault's Pendulum" another chance. The complaints against the book you have stated are actually those elements of occult culture Eco is concerned to mimic and mock. It is precisely the self-importance of occultists and the search for ever more obscure and esoteric knowledge that motivates much of Eco's irony and humor. You may have misinterpreted Eco's tone and taken for serious what was meant to be humorous. In other words, Eco would most likely agree with your complaints which suggests that he is up to something more.

Toppings? Lets see....

Pineapples, onions..., and, oh just throw on what ever you have lying around.

/me wants a satanic synthesizer.
/me realizes he has a copy Foucault's Pendulum and starts reading it.
How's that for bad grammar?
WORD TO YOUR MOTHER

Libertine thinks talking with bad grammar makes you sound like a black person LOL

Be careful what you wish for, Dan.

"I prefer to take it dry, Ibis. It's the preposterous storytelling of Foucault's Pendulum I can't tolerate. I do own a copy of it, however, used to cite this example of aforementioned preposterosity:"

Where I live "taking it dry" often means forgetting to polish the turdspear. But hey, if that's the way you roll....

>giggle

Also Riley I have always said one of the major drawbacks of the internet is that everyone has to be online at the same time.

i am NOT Jacopo Belpo.

Hey Dan Milk Man

I guess for me the book had a lot of pull because the characters reminded me of various versions of myself who had gone off the deep end. A cautionary tale, as it were...

As a side note: I hear Persians make excellent Satantologists. For the internet tells me so.

I'm a real Aryan though. And I'm only ever a Satanist to get Libertines panties in a bunch.

Thanks for the lulz Ian. We white people are always cranky because walking around on cloven hoofs hurts like !#$*&$.

Yep, real...you lot.

chaplain, real

Riley, when will you realize that white people are the one and true devil. This is why Chaoflux is a sub par Satanist. It's not his fault really... it's genetics.

Sheesh, you lot. Keep it real.

"Look I don't know how to say this without hurting you deeply but you happen to be white."

Hey Dars the idea is to reply to the comment as soon as possible not hours after it's been or maybe it took you that long type that reply which you seem to think is oh so witty.

(Wow! I hope you're just trying to sound cool and trendy, and aren't actually that incredibly stupid@! Cause that is a lot of stupid!@!)

This coming from the man who says whigger bullshit like 'you a first class retard', oh the irony.

Milkman Dan: You a first class retard, I had no idea!

Hi stupid!

You just compared Eco to Dan Brown! That's the stupidest *%$%ing correlation I've ever seen!

Wow! I hope you're just trying to sound cool and trendy, and aren't actually that incredibly stupid@! Cause that is a lot of stupid!@!

Just talking shit to stir the cauldron Gtree... Ya mutha ain't shit. Who gives a fuck what I say? It's your perceptive reality after all. I'm just miterating upon it.

I prefer to take it dry, Ibis. It's the preposterous storytelling of Foucault's Pendulum I can't tolerate. I do own a copy of it, however, used to cite this example of aforementioned preposterosity:

"As he spoke of darkness, he seemed to give off light. I asked him why his suspicions were aroused.
'Because if the Masters of the World exist, they can only be underground: this is a truth that all sense but few dare utter. Perhaps the only man bold enough to say it in print was Saint-Yves d'Alveyrdre. You know him?'"

... No, dick, you have proved your knowledge base much more esoteric than mine, and thus have bested me in THEE SUUPER EPIC OKKULT-OFF ...

In retrospect, I never gave that Eco fella a fighting chance. Pulled a book from the shelf, loathed it, and gave the fuck up. Didn't realize he could be any more SRSB than the trumped up sense of self importance found in the tome I accidentally inherited.

And now I'm off to toss cameras.

__Travels In Hyperreality_ is Awesome. My favorite essay is the one on "Horror Vaccui"

So good.

I know
That websites don't kill
But sometimes they will
Sometimes they will break hearts

I know
That I'm an adult
But Squink it's your fault
You created a monster

Kant and the Platypus.
Umberto Eco.

Squink, for the record, I want to thank you for bringing on a case of the munchies.

The end is nigh. The memes, which we have gotten familiar with and memorized have build up into independent sentient thought forms. These thought forms came to me in a vision the internet is coming to an end. In this vision I watched as anonymous destroyed the church of scientology, but paid a heavy price. The chans were gone, including this website. That caused a catastrophe of epic proportion. All the bile, faggotry and AIDS contained in irreality have spread all over the internet into mainstream site, like facebook and even forums of some official corporate and government sites. This even caused legit businesses to refuse to touch the internet, resulting in drop of subscriber numbers and eventual cessation of service providers.

EVERYONE IS BEING DODGY!!!!!!!!
IT'S A DISEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!

*turns green and starts selling crack*

You know what? It's probably best not to ask.

Mirroribis: "Kant and the Platypus" and "The Search for the Perfect Language" are rather good too. I really enjoyed "Travels in Hyperreality" especially the essay on professional sports and sports fandom although it has been a while since I read it.

Milkman Dan what in sam hell are you talking about !

I'm a big fan of Umberto Eco.
Hey Dan:
Try reading "Travels In Hyperreality", or "A Theory of Semiotics".
Some people can't take it dry, though...
you might want to milk your limits.
(They appear to be engorged.)

Without irr, I had all kinds of extra internet time. I discovered pmog.com Now I don't know if I will ever have any extra time at all.

this popping in and out creates so much great noise in the data shadow. digging it immensely
