Okay, I didn't want to do this, but this one has provoked me... (note to mods: Feel free to delete this or move it to The Bathroom Wall if it crosses any boundaries.) DaveScot walks into a bar and sits at the counter. Other than the bartender, the only other person in the place is Denyse O'Leary, perched on a stool at the opposite end of the bar. "Hey barkeep," hollers DS, "get me a beer and get that douchebag at the end of the bar whatever she wants." The bartender is offended: "Listen, mister, this is a respectable establishment; if you want to talk like that, you can take your business elsewhere." Rolling his eyes, DS says to the bartender, "Fine, fine. "Please get me a beer, and get that 'lady' at the end of the bar whatever she wants." The bartender gets Dave his beer and then approaches Denyse O'Leary. "Excuse me, ma'am; that gentleman at the end of the bar would like to buy you a drink. What would you like?" "I'll have a vinegar & water." |

I'd like to nominate R.O.T.O.R.; calling it a low-buget rip-off of The Terminator and RoboCop doesn't begin to do this "film" justice.

Of all the Toho kaiju flicks, War of the Gargantuas seems to make the biggest impression on kids. I remember seeing dozens of Godzilla movies at the Saturday matinee, but none of them stuck in my head the way that War of the Gargantuas did. For years, if it showed up on TV, I'd get a call from one of my brothers and even if it was on at 3am, we'd stay up and watch it. Fortunately, my older brother found a copy on DVD and we can watch it at leisure. Incidentally, "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat" used to be a part of DEVO's live show. |

Oh god, Amanda Donohoe was so hot in that movie. I watched it with a girlfriend years ago and she got pissed when I kept rewinding the scene where Amanda spits venom on the crucifix... For years, I thought that The Pogues were in this movie, but it was just some Pogues clones. It's been years since I saw From Beyond, but I recall it having a lot of erotic elements. Not near as good as its predecessor, The Re-Animator, and sadly unavailable on DVD... |

True Story: In the late 80s, I worked at a hotel that specialized in extended stays - we got a lot of theatre people there and Stephen Root stayed there as part of the cast of Driving Miss Daisy. The program listed Monkey Shines as one of Root's movie credits, and one day I asked him what it was like working for George Romero and he said George was a great guy, adding: "This is my imitation of George Romero getting angry: (whispers) 'Stephen, we're going to have to shoot that scene again.'". When Stephen Root was on News Radio, I used to tell people, "Hey, I've met him in real life" and no one was ever impressed. But when I say, "I've met Milton from Office Space", people are impressed... While working at the hotel, I also met Penn & Teller - both are great guys. |

Oh yeah, Basket Case is a classic. If you're into pure, uncut gore, check out Takashi Miike's Imprint from the Masters of Horror series. It was the only episode that Showtime refused to air. It's definitely a tip of the hat to Basket Case. Another straight-up bad horror flick that is overlooked is Street Trash. It almost doesn't qualify as a bad movie, because parts of it are intentionally hilarious, but when the plot involves a cheap wine manufactured by the government as a means to eradicate the homeless population, how can it not be bad? |

I'm sure there are some regs here who used to be active at the NAIG boards back in the day; they could give you more details, I'm sure. I'm almost positive it was NAIG where he got outed, because John Stear was able to trace his IP address. For the record, you're correct; he was a lousy Muslim impersonator. His schtick was basically this: someone would say, "You bloody fundies and your YEC..." and John Paul would respond with something along the lines of, "You narrow-minded Darwinists! Sure, I regurgitate arguments from ICR, AIG and several other Christian websites, but I'm a Muslim, so there!" |

If ID Were a Rock Band They wouldn't write their own songs or record albums - they'd take snippets from other people's songs/records and use them as "proof" that all the other bands suck and ID is the greatest band on earth. They wouldn't do live shows, either. Instead, they'd get up on stage and talk about how great their songs are and how awesome their upcoming album is going to be. There would be a big announcement that Geffen is going to be releasing and promoting their upcoming album and they will provide links to Geffen's website as evidence. But it would turn out that some guy in Geffen's IT dep't had put the page up on his own initiative. We all know what happens when the bigwigs at Geffen make him take down the website... |

My current top 5: 1) The Third Man 2) Fritz Lang's M 3) Robocop 4) The Big Lebowski 5) The Manchurian Candidate (the original, of course) Lately I've been getting into a lot of Korean cinema - there's some really good stuff coming out of there these days. There's a lot to enjoy about Korean films... if you're turned off by Takashi Miike-style ultra-violence, there's not a lot of gore in Korean movies (with the exception of Oldboy, which is based on a Japanese manga), but there is a definite undercurrent of subversion. Also, apparently there's only about a dozen actors in Korea, so if you've seen one Korean movie, the next one you see will have at least one "Hey! It's that guy!" moment. JSA (Joint Security Area) is a murder thriller set in the DMZ on the North/South Korean border. They're actually making an American version which will take place on the US/Mexican border - if you've seen JSA, you'll know this isn't going to work. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance/Oldboy/Lady Vengeance: After the success of JSA, director Chan-Wook Park was given free reign to do the movies he wanted, and he made this trilogy of films dealing with revenge. Oldboy gets the most notoriety (the hero eats a live octopus, among other things), but it's my least favorite. Although it's a trilogy, each film is self-contained, so there's no need to watch them in any specific order. Note: these aren't "Kill Bill" style revenge movies; sure, there's bats and hammers placed firmly against craniums, but these films deal strongly with the psychological motivations and consequences of revenge. Memories of Murder: based on Korea's first serial killer who was active from 1985-1991, two cops struggle against each other's methods for catching the killer - one cop prefers western methods (profiling, forensics, etc) while the other cop is decidedly old-school; he utilizes psychics, magic charms and lots of torture. The Host: This is sort of Korea's "Star Wars" - it's the most successful movie in Korean history, and it's a lot of fun. A monster rises up out of the Han river and begins dining on tourists. An extremely dysfunctional family must fight against the monster and the government in order to rescue one of their own. The monster is CGI-animated, but it is very well done - its biggest scene is in broad daylight and it's very impressive. Save the Green Planet: An unemployed factory worker and his plump, tightrope-walking girlfriend kidnap an executive in order to ward off the impending invasion from Andromeda. I think this movie would appeal to a lot of AtBC readers, because it deals with a lot of whacked-out pseudoscience (there's a great reference to 2001: A Space Oddysey in one scene). |

Thanks for the tips, Improvius. I added A Tale of Two Sisters to my Netflix queue, but alas, My Wife is a Gangster is not available... although its sequel is (I hate when they do that). If you're into Asian horror, have you seen Three... Extremes? It's a trilogy of horror shorts from Hong Kong (Fruit Chan), Japan (Takashi Miike) and Korea (Chan-Wook Park). Not too bad - the first segment, "Dumplings" was especially creepy. Also... have you seen 2LDK? It's about two roommates - actresses up for the same part - whose petty resentments against one another reach a boiling point. It's a little over an hour long and it's basically a live-action Itchy & Scratchy cartoon. |

I agree with you on Curse of the Golden Flower; I'm a big Kurosawa fan and while Curse looked good, it paled in comparison to Ran. Hero wasn't bad, but I didn't like the narrative. Not that it confused me... I just thought it wasn't an effective way to identify with Jet Li's character. I like Chinese action movies (Iron Monkey, Once Upon a Time In China, etc) and I'll settle for a truly crappy story and lousy acting if the action is on a pornographic level of... say, Tony Jaa's Ong Bak or The Protector but when it comes to Asian drama, I prefer the Japanese costume dramas - Twighlight Samurai has only two fight scenes, and one of those is with a wooden sword, but it's a very powerful film.. I'm just now getting into Anime - my rule of thumb with Netflix is to get one American movie, one foreign film and one Anime disc. I rented Samurai 7 and wound up buying the box set, and I just finished Samurai Champloo - this week I start the Read or Die series. |

That's a great list, Arden. I'm compelled to expound on some of your entries.
A fantastic movie. My only complaint was that they injected a chunk of Ellroy's The Big Nowhere into the plot, meaning we probably won't see that one make it to the big screen. Incidentally, the movie version of Brown's Requiem wasn't that bad; nowhere near as bad as The Black Dahlia, which was damn near unwatchable.
A great soundtrack, too - "Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta" and "Still", the latter being used to great effect when justice is meted out upon a certain printer. If anything, Office Space deserves credit for relegating the real Michael Bolton's career to a hilarious pop culture reference.
Another outstanding soundtrack. What other movies features someone getting stomped to death to the strains of Donovan's "Atlantis"? "Hey, Tommy, if I was gonna break your balls, I'd tell you to go home and get your shine box."
If not the funniest, easily one of the most quotable movies ever made. "Leads, yeah, sure. I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts! Leads! "
I've got this in my Netflix queue because I've been on a John Boorman kick lately. Excalibur, The Emerald Forest, The General... all great films. I've always wanted to see Point Blank because the Mel Gibson remake wasn't half bad (Other than the first two Mad Max movies, Payback is the only other Mel Gibson film I enjoyed.)
Das Boot set the bar for submarine movies; it has yet to be topped.
Agreed... Eli Wallach steals the show. The movie is beautifully filmed, but it's easy to overlook the great script. The running "there's two kinds of people" gag and "God is not on our side because He hates idiots also" are great lines (although the latter doesn't appear to be true). And as iconic as the theme music is, the piece used in the cemetery climax, "The Ecstasy of Gold", is one of my favorite pieces of film music. |

I'm a bit apprehensive about White Jazz coming to the big screen. In addition to the problem you mentioned, Joe Carnahan is slated to direct; this could go either way. On the plus side, Carnahan wrote and directed Narc, which kicked ass - imagine Ray Liotta playing Bud White, and that's Narc. On the minus side, Carnahan wrote and directed Smokin' Aces, which I thought was horrible. Carnahan is also on board to bring Killing Pablo to the big screen. That was an astounding book; highly recommended. |

Yeah, Emmylou & Gram Parson's version is, IMO, the definitive version. Roy Orbison also recorded it. Incidentally, it was written by Felice & Boudreaux Bryant who wrote most of the Everly Brothers' big hits (Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, etc) I'm not knocking Nazareth's version, though - Hair of the Dog is a great album. |

I just finished watching and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. I liked the Tree of Life animation and I thought they did a great job of explaining the sciency stuff in layman's terms. I even liked the courtroom reenactments; I love shows like Forensic Files* and City Confidential, so the poorly acted courtroom scenes were bonus, IMO. Does anyone else besides me think that the lawyer from the PA ACLU looked a lot like David Patrick Kelly? (Culture Warriors, come out and plaaaaay-ay!)  I can't help but wonder what exactly were the DI's demands that weren't kosher will journalism standards? Did they demand that all of Judge Jones' segments have farty noises in the background? * It's a shame - even with cameras being barred from the proceedings - that Court TV didn't cover Kitzmiller v. Dover; before the network became obsessed with celebrity trials, they used to feature some pretty interesting civil cases. |

One of those follow up questions would be: Which is your favorite Zappa lineup? I'm partial to the Roxy & Elsewhere and One Size Fits All period, followed by the Flo & Eddie era, with the original Mothers of Invention lineup coming in third. Oh yeah... count me among those whose hearing is too fucked to worry about high-end audio applications. I used to be in a surf instrumental band - the lack of a vocalist allowed us to play at Motorhead-levels of volume. It was fun at the time, but my right eardrum hates me today. |

I bought a Hi Def TV a few months ago so that I'd get the most out of my XBox 360 - the difference between the component picture and HD picture is vividly noticeable. You can download movies on the XBox 360; some of them in HD... I watched O Brother, Where Art Thou? in HD awhile back and although the image difference isn't as obvious as it is with video games, the picture still looked great. I'm waiting until the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray wars are over before I start replacing my DVD collection, so the other day I bought an upconversion unit; the player was only 70 bucks - the friggin' HDMI cable was $50. I watched Robocop yesterday and was really impressed with the quality. Robocop's suit looked absolutely amazing. I've probably seen Robocop 50 times (no exaggeration) and yesterday it dawned on me: for a "futuristic" movie made in 1987, it's aged quite nicely. The only thing that really dates the movie is the ridiculous 80s shoulder pads in the women's clothes. |

Here's a treat for all you Zappa fans, especially fans of the really old stuff: two tracks from Larry "Wild Man" Fischer's 1968 debut album, An Evening with Wild Man Fischer (produced by FZ). Larry & His Guitar and Circle In order to get the full effect, download both mp3s and play them starting with "Larry & His Guitar" and let it segue into "Circle". However, if you're familiar with Wild Man Fischer's other work and find it hard to consume, just download "Circle"; you won't be disappointed. |

People have asked me, "Why on earth would you want to see a movie more than once"? I always respond by asking them what their favorite song or painting is, then asking, "Why on earth would you want listen to or look at that more than once"? There are several movies that I've seen more than 20 times - Animal House, This is Spinal Tap, Full Metal Jacket, Doctor Strangelove, Goodfellas, The Big Lebowski, John Carpenter's The Thing, the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Repo Man. That list is nowhere near complete, either. I've see Eddie Izzard: Dressed to Kill about 10 times; the Englebert Humperdink bit and "He's a donut!" kill me every time. |

I think Joe's on to something here. Even our closest celestial body, the moon, is only fully visible for a few days out of the month; it's not like you can study the whole thing on a regular basis. Besides, the materialist astronomers at ISU probably hog up all the telescope time using it to spy on the girl's dorm. If what Joe says is true, GG must have a stack of unfinished research papers that had to be scrapped after realizing that fast-moving star was really a plane or a satellite. Maybe GG can go to the North Pole to do some research on the moon - he won't even need a telescope; it's huge up there. |

Lest FtK run away to her heavily-moderated fortress and start composing some tirade about how this question wasn't answered, here's why it wasn't answered: Your question, to wit: "Why, oh why, did Darwin beat up a puppy in order to feel a sense of power? It does seem that he feels quite sorry for the act, but why the heck does he bring it up in his book?", basically answers itself. It's much like asking, "Why did he open his umbrella to avoid the rain?" As far as why he brought it up in his book... pay attention now, FtK; this is really complicated: It was his autobiography. You see, an autobiography is a book in which a person reveals historical details about themselves. People who are reasonably honest might tend to publish unflattering things about themselves, even if that means that a hundred years down the line some shameless ideologue might quote an unflattering passage out of context in order to further their agenda. Of course, the entire passage is not at all unflattering. You see, Darwin did something that creationists & cdesign proponentists seem unable to do: he realized he was wrong, and made a concentrated effort to make amends for that wrong by becoming a passionate lover of dogs. What your colleague Sal quotes to damn Darwin actually reveals that Charles Darwin was in a possession of something that Salvador Cordova sadly lacks: a sense of shame.

I'm sure drunk drivers get tired of being habitually hassled by the cops and thrown in jail, too. Some get so tired of it that they decide that it would be best to stop driving vehicles while under the influence. If Sal ever gets really tired of being called sleazy, dishonest, amoral, et cetera, he might consider putting an end to his sleazy, dishonest and amoral behavior. Do a Google search on "Sal Cordova quote mining" and see for yourself how fast-and-loose he plays with the facts. You are condoning Sal's behavior because it makes "Darwinists" irate.

Oddly enough, Willie Nelson used to sing behind the beat, in front of the beat, across the street from the beat and managed to sound like he was talking instead of singing. This was long before he hit the big time... I was watching Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings being interviewed and Willie was asked about where he got his unique phrasing. He started talking about how he used to listen to a lot of jazz as a kid and Waylon interrupted him, saying, "Tell 'em the truth Willie - you just can't carry a tune to save your life." I know it's weird going from Bjork to Willie Nelson, but that's how my mind works... If you dig Bjork, you might like Cibo Matto - check out the video for "Sugar Water"; cool stuff. |

Stevestory's mention of "Bjork's a dork" got me thinking... my brother has a theory (and it's only a theory) that everyone likes at least one band/artist that they're ashamed to admit to liking. His example was Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. When I told him I like Sweet (you know, of "Ballroom Blitz" fame), he said, "Yeah, I'd be ashamed, too." Everyone laughs when I say I like ABBA, too. No Americans laugh when I say I like Boney M, though. They just say, "Boney who?". I'm curious what other shameful musical secrets lurk in the hearts and eardrums of AtBC readers? |

Almost all of Sweet's big hits were 100% kitsch, but they were good at what they do. What got me hooked on them was "The Man with the Golden Arm", their glam cover of Elmer Bernstein's score of the movie. Mick Tucker was a phenomenal drummer, and they picked a great song to showcase his talents. I don't understand why so many bands try to cover "Ballroom Blitz", though. |

"Louie Louie" is a song that's easy to play and the worse a band plays it, it can still manage to capture the essence of the Kingsmen's version. The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" is also easy to play, if it's played badly, it really shows. I've heard covers of "Ballroom Blitz" ranging from metal to rockabilly, and they all sounded dull compared to the original. The only competent cover of it I've ever heard is Nina Hagen's version. |

I absolutely hate listening to "My Sharona", but I like playing it - I guess it's because of the reaction it gets. I like the Knack's "Good Girls Don't", though. "Midnight Hour" is fun to play, too, but it can be hell for a bass player. I played bass in a band and whenever we did "Midnight Hour", it would fill the dance floor, so they'd stretch it out into some ten-minute monstrosity. The next song would have to be a ballad... Another fun one is Bo Diddley's "You Can't Judge a Book By its Cover" - lots of stops and starts to play around with... I've never been in a band that played 80s music, but if I was, I'd want to do Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio". It's a fun song, and not hard to play at all. |

I don't doubt for a minute that there are public schools in Texas where creationism is part of the science curriculum, but what flies in, say, Odessa won't necessarily fly in Laredo. Here in Corpus Christi, there's never been much of controversy about evolution in the schools. About ten years ago, it was discovered that a parent had complained about The Diary of Anne Frank in a Junior High library and the librarian removed the book without any sort of review. Once it was made public, the book was returned to the shelves, pronto. More recently, a local pentecostal church tried to get the Harry Potter books removed from school libraries, and the school district told them - in polite terms - that the church members were more than welcome not to read the books. There are parts of Texas that make Kansas look enlightened by comparison, but for the most part, we're a fairly sane bunch. |

A guy gets sent to prison and on his first night in the cellblock, something strange happens. An inmate shouts, "23!" and the entire block breaks out laughing. Another inmate shouts, "14!" and is met with gales of laughter. Someone else yells out, "30!" and again, the entire cellblock starts howling. The new guy asks the man in the next cell, "What the hell is going on? Why do people laugh whenever someone calls out a number?" "You see, new guy," the con responds, "we've been here so long and told these jokes so many times, we've just assigned a number to all the jokes. Why don't you try it?" Intrigued, the new guy shouts, "44!" and is met with deafening silence. "What the hell happened?" he asked, "Is there no joke assigned to number 44?" The man in the next cell replies, "Oh, there's a joke assigned to number 44, all right. A damn funny one, too. You just told it wrong." Edited to add: "Sit on a potato pan, Otis" is my favorite palindrome. |

Exactly. I don't know why FtK is so enamored of Dr. Brown's debate offer; it's nothing more than a slightly more sophisticated variant of "Dr." Hovind's "$250,000 Challenge". If Dr. Brown is so eager for debate, he should just submit his "research" for peer-review. Then he can go from being a "creation scientist" to an actual scientist. Instead, Brown wants to publish the debate results in book format. Yeah, this is the bleeding edge of science, people. |

It's much more complicated than that. I can remember when Joe Meert was trying to debate Walt Brown back in the days of the OCW* forum. Dr. Brown had a stipulation in the debate agreement that a neutral third party could approve modifications to the debate. When Joe Meert suggested some modifications, Dr. Brown refused to submit them to a third party, and - If I understand correctly (it's been almost a decade since I followed the Meert/Brown debacle) - Dr. Brown has since reworded the ground rules for his "debate". Like I said, it's a fool's errand. * OCW stands for "Organization of Creationist Websites" - it used to be a really great message board; it's where Joe G pulled some of his classic stunts... If any lurkers want some more info on how "Creation Scientists" handle written debates, check out this page about Fred Williams, Walter ReMine and the infamous "Moderator 3".

Just more projection on FtK's part. Creationists love to yammer on about "Darwinist presuppositions" and how the judgment of scientists is clouded by atheistic assumptions and whatnot. Yet... In India, Hindu scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is old. In Japan, Buddhist & Shinto scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is old. In Turkey, Islamic scientists have come to the conclusion that earth is old. In Tel Aviv, Jewish scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is old. At Brigham Young University, the Mormon scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is old. At Notre Dame University, the Catholic scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is old. At Baylor University, the Baptist scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is old. You see, FtK... when all these scientists from all these diverse religious groups look at the same evidence, they reach the same conclusion. When Hindu fundamentalists look at the evidence, they see an earth that is hundreds of billions years old. When Christian, Jewish and Muslim fundamentalists look at the evidence, they see 6-10,000 years. The atheism bugaboo might sell in the pews on Sunday, but it doesn't cut it in the real world. |

That's kinda where the rubber meets the road, right there.

The Mud Logging Unit doesn't tell the driller that all that excess gas coming out of the hole is due to the Fall of Man.

| I realize that it's due to Slimy Sal's article that the whole sex with animals thing was introduced, but as far as morality goes, it's a non-issue. If the religious leaders worldwide held a press conference tomorrow with PETA and Richard Dawkins, announcing that sex with animals was perfectly acceptable, it's highly doubtful that there would be a sudden surge in bestiality. As others have pointed out, the majority of humans on this planet are not sexually attracted to animals. |

For the people who are sexually attracted to animals, morality probably doesn't enter the question. To put it bluntly, there's probably some faulty wiring somewhere. I don't know about bestiality, but there are some states in the Union that have no laws against necrophilia, but there doesn't seem to be any outbreaks of widespread necrophilia.* As far as evolution and bestiality go... I would think that a person who openly practices sex with animals would not be particularly desirable to the opposite sex, thus severely reducing their chances of producing offspring. If bestiality was practiced on a wide scale, it would probably introduce some pretty nasty STDs, so the "ick" factor would be reinforced rather than reduced. *Yeah, I know there's a difference between what's legal and what's moral... |

FtK, where are you going with this "icky feeling" tangent? Surely you can't be arguing that some sort of supernatural entity hardwired humans with a distaste for for sex with animals. I get an "icky feeling" at the thought of sex with an obese woman. It has nothing to do with morality; it's simply a matter of preference. Just like most people prefer not to have sex with animals, and that preference causes most people to feel discomfort at the thought of bestiality. I fail to see where you're going with this. If you're arguing for some sort of moral agent, surely you could come up with a better example than an "icky feeling" about bestiality. |

Actually, the reason IDists harp on about "moral Darwinism" is because it's not like they're busy doing real science or anything. To deny that our cultural morals don't evolve is as ridiculous as denying biological evolution. It used to be morally acceptable to lynch blacks and Jews. It's not like a small handful of "bad apples" lynched people. Newspapers used to editorialize on the virtues of lynching. Here's what the governor of California said regarding a lynching that took place in San Jose in 1933:
Can you point out to me the missive that The Ultimate Law Giver issued that told people that lynching was no longer socially acceptable behavior? I know there's that whole "Thou Shalt Not Kill" thing that's been around awhile, but lynching was obviously an exception to that rule for hundreds of years. Then again, it could be that millions of non-white American citizens fought in a World War, went to college on the GI Bill after said World War and realized that all those rights detailed in the constitution applied to all citizens and a larger push for civil rights occurred in the postwar years. As a result, lynching became - for the most part - a shameful memory. I also fail to see why you're arguing for both moral absolutes and an "ultimate law giver": the two are almost mutually exclusive. Or should I say, the YHWH of the Bible is the Granddaddy of Moral Relativists. |

It would be nice if she would clear this up. I'm constantly amused by religionists who seem to think adherence to a religious code = moral absolutism. If moral absolutes are some sort of imperative, it would be best to jettison any Bible-based morality. If killing is morally wrong, it's morally wrong. The absolutist position would include cases in which bears are sent forth to maul children for making fun of someone's baldness (2Kings 2:24) or when soldiers are commanded to kill female and child prisoners of war (Numbers 31:17). I've actually heard people say that since God commanded these things, they were - by default - Good Things. And this is while they were arguing for moral absolutism at the same time. The mind boggles. |

Yeah, I get a real Asperger's Syndrome vibe from the humor at The Brites. Years ago, there was an autistic kid who became a minor Usenet/Internet celebrity for his writings on the horrible 80s sitcom Small Wonder and the sad lack of family-friendly nudist sitcoms. That kid was the first thing that popped into my mind when I first saw The Brites. The Brites looks like it was put together not by someone who isn't funny, but by someone who just flat-out has no grasp whatsoever about the concept of humor. Even those silly cartoons that Answers In Genesis publishes - while still painfully unfunny - are done in a manner where their intended audience can see the humor. |

It's rather silly to think that "morality comes from evolution" - it's sort of like saying "electricity comes from televisions"; there's several crucial components missing. Morals come from our - well, most of our - ability to reason. Most men are hardwired with a desire to have sex with roughly half the world's human population, but not all men act on that desire. Many cultures place a premium on marital fidelity, but adultery occurs in pretty much all cultures. Your ridiculous "Darwinism" strawman isn't the cause of adultery - nor is it the justification - it's simply the explanation. |

I wish I had the time and inclination to search through this thread and provide a link FtK's post in which she listed all that peer-reviewed literature she's read (IIRC, she posted it after being asked once). It was pretty impressive list, to be sure, so one would expect her understanding of biological evolution to be a little more up to speed. |

Somewhere on the internet, there is - or used to be, at least - a guy who made custom rack mounts. They were basically "spacers" with functional fans to keep your legit rack equipment from overheating. One of them was the "Pallindromator"; all the controls were pallindromes. Another had a bunch of "Funk" controls. For the life of me, I can't find a link, but that image looks like something he would make. Very cool, nonetheless. |

Erasmus said:
(this was right after he said, "Read this very slowly so it can sink in") You respond with:
Do you understand that there is a difference between "evolution" and "biological evolution"? The fact that languages and societal norms evolve don't have anything whatsoever to do with biological evolution. Look up the word "evolution" in your ever-loving dictionary. It's located somewhere between the words "anus" and "perineum". |

No, FtK, I'm not trying to get a rise out you. Considering your seemingly permanent state of agitation, I don't wish to exacerbate things. But FFS, a few hours after incorygible came to your defense regarding the use of the word "condone", you left this turd at PZ's blog:
You even added the odd emphasis on the word "condones". Someone here noted that you were taking up the discussion at PZ's blog as if nothing had ever taken place here. I knew what you were up to the minute I saw your post at Pharyngula. If that "gets a rise" out of you, so be it. We'll just add some more lumber to the cross you've decided to call home. |

I never said otherwise. What I implied was that you knew that people were going to misinterpret your use of the word "condone" by conflating it with the word "advocates" and you used the word hoping to score a cheap rhetorical point. If you were at all capable of discussing the morality or immorality of bestiality beyond some vague "icky feeling", this never would have happened, FtK.

I was thinking the same thing before I went to her site - then I saw that she is more than capable of defending her position.

Actually, most Christian denominations don't have much of a policy on biological evolution. The Jehovah's Witnesses do, but we know they're not real Christians, right? (wink, wink - nudge, nudge) There are certainly a lot of individual Christians who oppose biological evolution for religious reasons, but not that many churches want to make opposition to science part of their official mission.

It's probably not how they want their kids to turn out, but that's what they're gonna get. Creationism - and by extension Intelligent Design - are science stoppers. I read (over at Fundies Say The Darnedest Things, I believe) that his reason for not allowing critical comments is that he "can't tolerate lies". I don't think it's the creationists' goal to create mindless zombies like this kid, but it's not like they're out to create a bunch of great thinkers, either. |

FtK's personal argument against adultery, promiscuity and porn doesn't seem to be any more than "it's icky". I have no problem with that, as long as she can admit that it's her own personal preference. There's a lot of stuff that I find "icky"; that doesn't mean that it's morally wrong and no one should be doing it. Her blog only underscores the fact that ID is a science-stopper. It doesn't matter to her why things are the way they are; things are the way they are because that's just how it is. She's learned from the master: she doesn't need to match our pathetic level of detail. |

I installed a Random Tard Quote Generator at the Church Burnin' Ebola Blog today, using some classic quotes from AtBC and FSTDT. I figured I'd add this one here - it's from FSTDT, and quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've read on the internet:

Are you sure? I checked the Smash Brothers' forum where that quote originated and the guy seemed sincere in his Tard (he followed it up with "the sun doesn't count because it doesn't bring dead plants back to life"). I'm not going to add any SuperSport quotes because I believe Poe applies in his case, but as a rule of thumb, if it comes from CARM or Christian Forums, it's got the Tard Seal of Approval™. Which reminds me... I need to dig up some LittleNipper quotes from CF. |

I posted to the following comment to her blog:
Since she's such a tolerant and open-minded person with a slightly neurotic obsession for finding truth, I'm sure she won't have any problems with my comment. btw, isn't the Cornelius Hunter she name-checks the guy who got his ass handed to him here at AtBC with his photos of the Tasmanian wolf? |

FtK actually let my post go through only to respond with:
Excuse me... (Lou & Steve, feel free to move this to the Bathroom Wall or out right delete it if need be) but WHAT A FUCKING HYPOCRITE. She comes over here and calls Wesley a liar, she calls Abbie a "bitch" at ERV and I've treated her unfairly? You're right FtK; It's NOT going to change in the future, because anytime someone does treat you respectfully, you can't help but to climb up on your cross and play the martyr. I'm not going to play FtK's "do as I say, not as I do" game. Christ on rubber crutch, she's a real class act. |

Since the alleged producer is asking for some semblance of credibility, we can assume it's not Fox News or Glenn Beck. But I share your hopes that the suits at whatever show this is see that thread - they won't even need someone with a science background to explain to them what a steaming load of Tard that is. The timing couldn't be better, either. Will we get a meltdown this Friday? |

Is there an epidemic of washing machine breakdowns in New England? 73 responses and no Joe G. As Denyse O'Leary might say, "what up with that, yo?" Surely ID predicts that if high school students are exposed to GG's Privileged Planet, they will see The Reality of ID. Has anyone saved the thread recently? |

My oldest brother is conservative to the point that he writes letters to editor proclaiming Reagan's virtues as president, but he has enough sense to realize that the ID horse ain't never gonna run. "We shouldn't even be having this discussion" is his take on it. I told him about the Expelled site and when he saw that picture of Ben Stein, he almost cried. |

In addition... if you can spare a few bucks each month, a premium Usenet service is handy. I just checked, and the "Jesus Camp" DVD is available in alt.binaries.boneless - for review purposes only, of course. Since it's in my Netflix queue I'm not going to bother, though. |

It looks like FtK realized what a mistake it was to use Dinesh D'Souza as a reference. She's now quoting Vox Day. oh, and EORaptor - FtK probably thinks that Mark, Luke, John and Matt really wrote the gospels bearing their names, so Job could have been written in 2,000 BC (the early Pleistocene epoch). |

Um... reality? An education? That list is hilarious... is it for real? I seem to remember someone - Jesus' General, I think - catching some flack for posting photos from their fair. It's hard to tell, because they're linked at Objective Ministries, which features this on-topic bit of creation science:
They're also linked at creationism.org. Man, it's so hard to tell these days. |

The Diary is a great album - I like "Hand of the Dead Body", but I like Scarface's stuff with the Geto Boys a lot more. Bushwick came up with some really goofy rhymes:

Get ready for another Perfect Storm of Tard - Denyse O'Leary is getting into the ID Predictions game. Note: The link goes to UD, but as is her M.O., you have to go to one of her other blogs to get the rest. The first (and only, so far) comment:
