Well, pop it right out of there, because I don't like you thinking about me.

I don't like ANY lawyer thinking about me, and if I have to issue my own restraining order, in the shape of a large cudgel slammed repeatedly against your leaky brain pan, then I will.

THAT'S how much I contribute to this thread ... I READ it ... ALL of it ... ALL the time.

Were YOU to follow my lead in this matter you might have noticed that BOTH Berli and Peng formally served up notice on the thread that bundrips is NOT a Serf but merely an SSN with a name that just SCREAMS to be mangled. YOUR opinion, therefore, is meaningless ... okay MORE meaningless than usual.

Joe

Joe, you unworthy vessel of my trust. I had, whether your aging mind can grasp it, already read both Peng and Berli's remarks. Not that I really need to.

The truth is, Joe, that I am so completely in communion with the other two Olde Ones that I often know what they are thinking before it has been voiced. This is easy enough with Berli, of course, as it primarily involves the complete physical, mental and emotional dismissal and destruction of everything else that Berli does not approve of, which is pretty much everything except probably Peng, a handful of authors, and beets.

But I also sometimes find my self puzzling over the best roster for a girl's soccer team, and I'm almost sure that's coming from Peng, or possibly Stuka, but most likely Peng because there's no pornography or grandiloquent self-delusions of potency involved.

You see, Joe, the great thing about being an Olde One is that we have no leaders, we are all simply first amongst equals. Rather like the Vikings and other psychotics who could invest heavily in the concept of individual rights and self empowerment because everyone was so heavily armed and apt to violence that anyone who tried to lord it over everyone else was looking for an axe stroke up the arse.

So, while what the other two had to say certainly matters to me, it had absolutely no freaking effect on whatever I decided to froth out that evening. I'm not a fecking Greek Chorus, I'm an Olde One of the Peng Challenge Thread.

We could do with a lot more of that attitude, frankly. Unless, of course, people are actually delusional enough to think that they are an Olde One of the Peng Challenge Thread, because there's only three of us and we are quite adequately, in our own ways, performing that function.

We are your Ancestors. Capital 'A', rather than the small 'a' ancestors that bequeathed to you your rather disappointing genetic legacy, for which they are most probably heartily sorry, in whatever dull limbo their souls have been sent to to 'think things over'.

We haven't gone off to some ridiculous fairy kingdom 'heaven'. We exist within the Wasteland, the emptiness that fills up all the spaces between the posts of you, the Folk. The Nothingness that precedes their posts, and awaits the end of their posting. We are eternal, and beyond you, and yet we post amongst you.

I was reading a bit ago some gibberish by the various Outerboarders once again discussing the Peng Challenge Thread. The usual jibes and insults, dismissals and cattiness.

But remember this, you lot, about the Outerboarders. Their Names do not live on after them. When they are gone, they are dust, and they leave no legacy. No one remembers them. No one preserves them. No one offers a good goddamn to their putative memories. They are devoured by Entropy.

And no one cares.

But here, in the Peng Challenge Thread, the World is a long, tangled, many branching tale. A tale told by an idjit, perhaps, but a tale, so far, without an end. How many have suddenly returned to us, and found their gibberish still fresh upon the walls of the cave?

The only hope for the Outerboarders, the only way they can weasel their way out of the gray entropy of the Wasteland, is by posting or being noticed here. The Peng Challenge Thread.

That is why they skulk in from stage left, and exit with curses stage right. That is why they want to attract the attention of the longest, strangest, stupidest Thread on the Combat Mission forum. Some for their contributions, and some for their disapproval.

We are Altamira. We are the Dreamtime.

Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall

When there wasn't even any Hollywood

They heard the call

And they wrote it on the wall

For you and me we understood

Seanachai ...you drunken lout of a son of a gun...does Small Emma ever grow up?, I think you said she was four years old two years ago.

Oh, deary, deary me. Two years ago I said she was two. She will be four years old on July 31st.

Because I hate you, by which I also mean that I respect you, I'll give you a choice:

Do you want me to characterize your remark as the result of stupidity, dementia, or chemical abuse?

Your choice. Go crazy, eh? You deserve it.

Wit is overrated.

To those who possess it, it is precious gift.

To those who understand it, it is a beacon when the darkness of stupidity encroaches upon life.

To those who will never possess it, and who are too stupid to understand and appreciate it, it is a bitter resentment which cannot be dismissed too brutally.

You dismissed it with only a modicum of bitterness. I figure you for someone who's mainly not good at it.

Yes, yes, we've all had to avert our eyes at your self-absorbed little gandy-dance on the Forum. Will you continue to actually post photos and insist that we look at the contents of the plastic cup in the future, or will we be able to mercifully draw a veil over the annoying images that your posts insist we look at?
