Sopecuate: minión del Sope (GJoy6669)

1127 Levinas took as the starting point of his ethical philosophy an interrogation of the omniscient and transcendental ego posited by Descartes, which he claimed had become "the permanent presupposition of the philosophical tradition of the West"
1128 Hail Levinas
1129 Levians argued that the intentionality of the cogito-its capacity only for consciousness of other things-meant that the phenomenological subject was founded upon the reduction of the Other to an object for consciousness, its meaning necessarily elided, circumscribed, and domesticated within the bounds of the perceiving consciousness.
1130 Hail Levinas
1131Thus, Levinas drew a distinction between the otherness of alterity defined by the perceiving subject and the radical Otherness of alterity-in-itself, infinite, irreducible, and incomprehensible to that subject.
1131 The perceiving subject itself was conceived of as an instance of the samethe totality that labors to domesticate alterity by reducing it to its own terms.
1132The reduction of the Other to the same was conceived by Levinas as the fundamentally violent cost of maintaining the subject's freedom and autonomy.
1133 Hail Levinas

Azure Fox – Kitsune of Stuff (CAPTAPATHY)

1134 Well, Zorch!
1135 Both a wave and a particle, C0FFEE is a color, this is not a pipe.
1136 Things are not what they seem.
1137 Much is about in the world, and so am I. One cannot arrive at the truth without missing the bus. Outside of captivity, nothing is found.
1138 Any attempt to sound profound by shortening sentences and using unusual structure is usually succesful. Any attempt to BE profound in said manner is usually doomed to failure. A catchy phrase may entrance the masses, but it is empty, hollow, and devoid of life.
1139 Your pants combust just as violently as mine.
1140 Told ya so.

Sopecuate: minión del Sope (GJoy6669)

1141 St. Jacques Derridá is dead.
1142 Deconstruct Death

(AZUREEYE)

1143 The amber glow of the smoldering pants cast an apathetic murk upon a ropelike protuberance.

1144 No, two - Nay, four 'tuberances rose up and gesturing made the virile signage of quadrunners - the phallic 1111.

1145 Yet they were indeed tentacles, or rather merely the tips of tentacles. And with their stirring a strange whispering and rustling sound didst echo hollowly and most piercingly. Yet no ears were in fact pierced!

1146 And a flicker of purple murkiness moreover flickered back at the pants, most ominously, yet in a friendly fashion, as if an extra Big Mac had somehow found it's way into an already chloresterol-sodden take out sack.

1147 And Cthulhu stirred.

1148 And he was very wroth.

1149 And he was not amused, so he laughed ... and so remembered his hunger. And smacked his lips, for an election was soon abroad in America. Except this time she was not Martha Stewart.

1150 An' did he metamorphose into the hideous form of Barney the Dinosaur, and summon Minions to cast his ballots in a mass write-in vote. By means of this black mass to suck the last of the hanging chads' juices right out, for they were ripe and luscious.

1151 And Barney called for the Ceremony of the Motherboard to be performed acrost yon internet, yet with freshest urine and humming harddrives, furthermore holding hands with Grey management in cyberServer warehomes in air-conditioned Glory. For the mudslinging was deep and fine for swimming, and the backstroke was performed to the humming of "I love you, You love me".

1152 Now immensely amused, laughter (overwhelmed) stopped cold as pure Fnord was tasted! Or at least as pure as yellow snow in May, but this was October ... and Nader was not standing still for cream pies, but neither suspected their stockpiling either. Clever and complex plans were initiated by fives of fives agencies, all thinking themselves the cats patoot.

1153 And the spirit of Penial arose and arose and arose and arose (but not as sweet) and pleasured many women with the ploughing of the eleven-eleven.

1154 Afterwards, Penial drowsily pondered his timely progress on the earth - the sundial, the clock, the sweep second hand, digital readouts - and considered how the sacred 11111 could be attained.

1155 As an eye or two (or three?) was closed, and another yet open (the instant of falling asleep) he was gripped with a solution to the vexing problem - and an obsession to boot: Nina!

1156 Yet in this lusty flash of inspiration she did NOT in fact wear boots, but six-inch spike heels.

1157 "Wait!!! ... " cried a voice of scorn with mixed derision, "you can't just say things like that!" And now the voice turned a bit sly, "And besides, you must wait your Turn!"

1158 "Whatever, ... and whatever do you mean by that that? And why does your visage sag like a rotten grey potato, though less attractively?" Chaote High Enigma Wizard Azure axed politely.

1159 "Firstly, Everyone Knows that Cthulhu is not a 'He' but most definitely an 'IT'," the voice ranted smugly and dogmatically, " and Secondly Barney is a widely Loved and Respected Celebrity and Educator and in no way ridiculous, political, or Dark!"

1160 Azure grunted forcefully here, to clear his ears of the Several Capitals lodged therein, but in vain - for they continued coming ...

1161 "and Fourthly, you may call me (here a second grunt - combined with a yawn - completed Azure's relief) "

1162 A pause of sparkling silence ensued, fought for dominance, and lost as an unnatural craving (for complete information with a frosting of fiveness) surfaced in Azure, "Fifthly ... ummm ... about the potato?"

1163 "I thought that was covered quite well in my Third Point." (Pregnant pause.)

1164 "Well yes, about that third point. I'm not so much sure about that point myself, one way or the other ..." Azure temporized.

1165 At that the anonymous critic, feeling itself (ha ha) unlawfully disrespected, stomped right off in a definite gale force huff, breaking off twigs and small branches, and likely ritually summoning hurricanes as birds summon storks (or is that bees?).

1166 Penial's toe was sticking out of his right shoe and he was seriously regretting incarnating at all.

1167 The snow swirled down the narrow alleyway, and the crickets quieted to a loud rumble (and several crows craned their necks looking for musical morsels).

1168 It had seemed so logical at the time ... that Eris might be found near an Erisian hangout, and that a soused penguin would certainly know just where the local hangout was. But there had been SO BLASTED MANY soused penguins in this town, and the first six hundred or so had definitely been out-of-town liars!

1169 The arched doorway held a doorman dressed in black leather, and two brutes holding rusty crowbars. Could this really be an Erisian center? Well, there was nothing else, but to go forward.

1170 The doorman stared stonily out and (fondling a holstered wit) asked threateningly, "Do you believe in Eris, the sacred Chao, the Five and the 23?" With no response immediately forthcoming, the doorman gave a small sharp gesture to the hulking guards, who then began to edge forward.

1171 "Do you agree that (blah-blah blah blah-blah-blah blah-blah blah blah blah-blah blah-blah blah-blah-blah blah) as well?" the doorman challenged dogmatically, pushing quite beyond the endurance of living brain tissue. Was this a trap?

1172 Finally Penial remembered to give the most secret handshake of the Order, which in typical Discordian fashion consisted of a marked and meaningful Rolling of the Eyes, and had nothing to do with hands at all (but left them free to do other, more pleasant things - in pockets, for example ... ).

1173 The response was immediate and gratifying: pleased laughs, an end to the verbal barrage, and a hearty invitation to enter in the name of Eris ... he was in!

Deus Ex Machina (TANSTAAFL28)

1174. Forsooth! A tooth is on the loose! Pliers, flouridated water, and foul tasting mouth mirrors for everyone!

1175. May your molars never know what your bicuspids are really thinking...

1176. Drink your steak and chew your beer and all shall be well.

1177. Verily overwax the floss and toss out the moss.

1178. Ever shall ye practice random acts of hygene. It will confuse your friends and astound your enemies. Everyone else won't give a rat's ass.

1179. If thou smelt it, thou dealt it. Never smelt in an enclosed space, for this is no better than a fart in a jar, and far deadlier too.

Onyx Heart (FAYANORA)

1180. This line intentionally left Mel Blanc for another woman. Yes, another WOMAN.

1181. This is a line of bullshit. Line that up on your mirror and snort it, Einstein!

1182. Lines of slow blow really blow, doncha know?

1183. This line was accidentally left blank, Frank. Snort snort!

(AZUREEYE)

1184 here Big Brother is 800 short, as always

1185 Dwarves entertain rugs unaware

1186 Cocaine is an Freudian rug

1186 There4 Some rugs have rags

Onyx Heart (FAYANORA)

1187. I think this line is a tax form. Call the IRS for confirmation.

1188. Big Brother is scary, yes. But just wait till you meet his Big Sister. *shudders*

1189. When Big Sister is on the rag, get back or you'll gag. Gag when she's on the rag and she'll put you in a body bag.

1190. This line is to apologize to all my soul sisters for those previous two lines.

1191. WHEN WILL THE INSANITY END? WHEEEEEN??? *jumps off cliff*

1192. Bubba, Dubba, and his other brother Dubba look over the cliff, chewing their chewing tabacco. Bubba nods and says, "Poor Republican bastard... couldn' take that thar pressure of being stuck in this here foh-rum. Course, it weren't really foh 'im."

1193. Today is "Shoot a Republican Tobacco Grower For Jesus" Day. If you don't want to go to prison for murder, they never said *where* to shoot 'im. Or what to shoot 'im *with.*

1194. "I am Ms. Fayanora's lawyer. I'm here to say that Ms. Fayanora does not condone viol--ACK!" *Thud*

Deus Ex Machina (TANSTAAFL28)

1195. The Cycle of Pain is the Cycle of Irony. The Cycle of Insanity is a banal series of whips and chains that bring about naught else but pain. The Unicycle is a silly contraption utilized for going nowhere really fast.

1196. Thus the Cycle of Insanity begins with an egotistical delusion that the universe is governed by intelligent order brought about by perceptions, lies, ideas, and fear that this might not actually be the case.

1197. Egotism becomes the false belief, carefully wrapped in emotionalism, that many is better than one, or that one is better than many, or that a simple or complex majority might suffice in its place.

1198. Belief is the egotistical desire to see that one's own needs are more important in the eyes of the Universe than is mathematically possible, this leads to false faith.

1199.  False Faith is defined as the sadistic notion that the Universe operates on the principles of order, as defined by the mistaken perceptions built upon egotism and belief.

1200. Sadism is defined as justifying the taking of actions based upon egotistical and delusional beliefs, in the misguided perception that they are actually faith, which in turn produces a state of constant masochism.

1201. Masochism is defined as taking great pleasure from the results of delusional beliefs built upon egotistical concepts developed through sadistic actions, which result in the painful perception that the world is insane.

1202. Insanity is defined as a self-generated egotistical state in which one has no choice but to act in a manner consistent with preserving the delusional perceptions caused by ego, belief, false faith, sadism, and masochism.  In so doing, one mistakenly feels justified in like a sadomasochistic loon.

1203. Wash, rinse, repeat.

1204. Sanity is defined as the moment when one realizes that there is no damn reason for the above cycle to exist, therefore causing it to cease to exist. This is often referred to as enlightenment.

1205. With enlightenment, the realization that one can choose whether to embrace the insanity, or reject it, has finally been reached.

1206. With choice comes acceptance, with acceptance comes true faith, with true faith comes peace, with peace comes a greater understanding, with a greater understanding, one becomes whole, with wholeness, one embraces and transcends this level of existence. 

1207. Alas, most are not ready to come to terms or understand this. It is beyond their ken. They will read this and not be able to follow. They are far too caught within the Cycle of Insanity that only spreads pain, fear, suffering, and untold misery.

1208. Tread lightly amongst the unaware and sleeping masses, which are not yet ready to awaken, for they will surely think thou art insane.

1209. Buggly, buggly boo. Golden frognobblers and a round of Ironies on the rocks with a twist to all.

Onyx Heart (FAYANORA)

1210. Verily did the Goddess shout "Hear hear! Hoorah!" and propose a toast to toast.

1211. "Fay," saith Shao'Kehn, "verily thou must asketh Lord Random Hearse if thou canst use parts of that last bit in thine second novel!"
"Would you please stop talking like that!?!"
Shao'Kehn huffed. "Fine. Sooo?"
"He'll know now, and can respond via email."
