Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Emily Dickinson

She rarely left her house, but people will be talking about her five hundred years after her death.

Flaming cat rape. What the hell is it? Well, for one thing, it does not describe any actual physical act. It's an alternative curse, one that I believe is original and could very well be my single contribution to world culture. When should someone use it? Well, like all colloquialisms, there is no hard and fast rule for its usage, but I reserve it for only when I am truly, sincerely aghast or very, very pissed. I like to think of it as one step above "fuck".

That is all.

no discordant thought? bah... it's scooter lite.

I think that the concept of "flaming cat rape" is probably discorant enough.

i can't say that i agree with that. i mean, as a term and not a concept as he put it, it's not all that discordant. as a concept yeah, but it's still scooter lite.

hmmm...

well, even though he did SAY it isn't a concept, you have to admit...the mental imagery it invokes is somewhat disturbing.

maybe instead of "discordant thought" he can have a semi-regular feature "disburbing imagery."

oooh, i like your style. i can dig that. scooter we, your loyal readers (and regular commentors) have decided as "special piece" every so often you institute the discordant imagery when you have no discordant thoughts.

Discordant? I think it's awesome. I wonder how much money that kind of fetish site could make.
