Nice comment, all right. He surely knows how to talk trash.

I think that the funniest part was when he defined ineffable

One tee shirt simply says “ineffable,” which means incapable of being expressed.

nice one

this one I even liked

A pro is that less people will be born, curbing the population explosion, resulting in less need for new subdivisions and fewer people named Lance (have you ever met anyone named Lance you liked?)

But this one is just daring.

In other words, if you’re in favor of denying yourself the intense pleasure of sex, you could also deny yourself career fulfillment, travel and adventure, good health, a whole host of life-reaffirming situations.
A new cottage industry will take root catering to the needs of people who have decided that it was desirable to die never having lived.

I feel like crossing the screen like in "The Ring" and smacking him right in the face. :evil:
I guess we'll always have to deal with people who think this way.

2013 Mod Edit: the above link doesn't work anymore, but ApolloSeek has quoted (and deconstructed) all of the article in post #4.

nice one :D

That IS the definition of 'ineffable.'

Beyond that he's an idiot.

That IS the definition of 'ineffable.'

Yes it is but not to us. :twisted: our little secret :twisted: but sometimes I feel like we should commercialize it a bit so that people would know what we mean by that

or you know what? Why should we have to explain ourselves? Let's leave it like it is.

Asexuality: No Sex as Good as Sex?

By John Sammon

....Editing.......

Mystic Revelations

What happens to someone who has no interest in using the reproductive

tools God gave him?

[/quote']

How about someone who fails to use the brains that God gave them?

The answer is nothing.

Which is what you've said so far.

That’s the key to the new asexual movement. Nothing.

In fact' date=' nothing may become a movement beyond just sex. More about that later.

[/quote']

I don't think so.

According to a recent study conducted by a scientist in Ontario' date=' Canada, one out of each hundred people questioned reported that they were asexual. Had no interest in sex at all.

This is in direct contrast to myself, who rarely thinks of anything else.

[/quote']

People are different. What a revelation! I feel sorry for you having to

constantly clean the slobber off the keyboard. And those sexual

harassement charges must really cost a lot to ligate.

I assume you that Big Bad Asexual Wolf and The Asexual Boogeyameoba

are imaginary. Please take your medication.

What’s more' date=' or less in this case, is that of those people who reported they had no interest in sex at all, roughly half said they are perfectly contented with their lives.

This just can’t be.

[/quote']

How would you know? Are you a telepath? Rise on the 3rd day and I'll

listen. Otherwise keep quiet.

Paranoia is bad enough. Adding delusions of grandeur is really terrible.

As if that wasn’t enough' date=' web sites such as AVEN's (Asexuality Visibilty and Eduction Network) now promote the asexual lifestyle through their online store. They sell products, tee shirts, buttons and coffee mugs extolling asexuality. One tee shirt simply says “ineffable,” which means incapable of being expressed.

[/quote']

As if it wasn't enough that we must endure your megalomania! I wish

you were invisible.

Better ineffablity than insanity.

Another read' date=' “asexuality. It’s not just for amoebas anymore.”

Ooookkaaay!

[/quote']

Ever heard of slogans? A technique used by people of all ideological

flavors

.....Editing......

Sites such as these explain that meaningful relationships can still be had without humping.

Glad you recognized that. That medication does work.

What are the pro and cons?

You are becoming rational. Good!

I am a dyed-in-the-wool believer what you do with your body is your own business. You don’t want to fool around' date=' that’s fine.

But what are the possible ramifications? (you’re no ram if you’re asexual).

You know how there’s always some new disease you’ve never heard of each year. I have to believe an overabundance of sperm inside men caused by no sexual activity at all will cause a physical problem new to the world called, “anxiety-prone ballooning,” or APB, a swelling of the body caused by too much fluid.

Men will walk around looking like Patrick on the SpongeBob cartoon.

APB is a con.

[/quote']

You were doing soooo well! Oh well, that's life.

APB does not happen. Semen not discharged is broken down and

re-absorbed. If you were not so busy screwing everything in sight, you

might have actually had time to research this topic.

The van is coming. The men with the white suits will be gentle.

This assumes of course' date=' that the person doesn’t perform sex with himself, which is cheating and not truly asexual.

[/quote']

What's it to you, control freak? Snoopy little voyeur. Is you life so pathetic

you have to stick your nose in other's lives?

A pro is that less people will be born' date=' curbing the population explosion, resulting in less need for new subdivisions and fewer people named Lance (have you ever met anyone named Lance you liked?)

[/quote']

Since we don't have a population explosion, your arguement is invalid.

Furthermore, real populations don't grow forever. They stabilize.

Of course if you'd think about something other than sex, you might know

this. Pull up your pants and go to the library, Casanova.

If the asexual movement grows' date=' candy shops and Valentine’s Day-related businesses will see a recession----a con.

[/quote']

Boo hoo. The US has a rather diverse economy.

The number of respondents in the study closely parallels the number of gay people in the country---estimated currently at three percent. It’s possible that growth in the asexual movement could also raise the numbers who choose a gay lifestyle' date=' which in turn could damage the political-religious right wing, which won the last election partly because of anti gay bias.

A pro or con depending on whether you’re a Republican.

[/quote']

Correlation is not causation. Until can prove a causal link between

asexuality and homosexuality, your comments are speculation.

Furthermore, my sexuality is not determined by Washington DC.

But what is more fascinating is the spreading idea that nothing is something.

Do you like Seinfeld? If so' date=' you like a show about nothing. That's how

Jerry Seinfeld describes the show he was the star of.

In other words, if you’re in favor of denying yourself the intense pleasure of sex, you could also deny yourself career fulfillment, travel and adventure, good health, a whole host of life-reaffirming situations.

So sex is necessary for all that? Ho, ho. You need a brain transplant.

Here's a song for you.

To the tune of Little Old Lady From Pasadena By the Beach Boys

It's the little Web writer with megalomania

Go, Sammon, go, Sammon, go, Sammon, go

Has a little Web column where he'll entertain you,

Go, Sammon, go, Sammon, go, Sammon, go

But underneath that thin veneer,

is stupidity racing in top gear.

And everyone is saying that there's no one insaner,

Than the little Web writer with megalomania

A vacuum brain with a bad hairdo,

The laughingstock of AVEN Avenue.

It's the little Web writer with megalomania.

ApolloSeek, I want you to know I LOVE your answers to these sorts of things! (-:þ

Thank you, SpockJr.

[Abbey Normal]

Eh, it's just a longer version of that idiot on the other board who said something to the effect of "Why wouldn't you want to feel good?"

Some people just don't know how to listen.

Oh, and ApolloSeek, excellent MSTing. I loves the AVEN MSTings.

[Live R Perfect]

MSTing? :shock:

[Cate Perfect]

These kids today and their new fangledy words! *rocks in rocking chair* *creeeeaaaak creeeeeeaaaaak*

Cate

[Chozo]

i love it.

[theruudstar]

Love the song! When will your album come out?

[Kamikola]

MSTing? :shock:

yeah :shock: ???

[Shivers]

Mystery science theater-ing.

Don't tell me you've never heard of MST3K???

They take crappy sci-fi movies and poke fun of plotholes. (IE: "Place your hands near the handles. (hands immediately drawn to handles) They're magnetic." "And if your hands were metal, that would mean something!")

[Live R Perfect]

Don't tell me you've never heard of MST3K???

Uh... I've never heard of MST3K...

:twisted:

[Shivers]

(disowns liver until such time as he goes out and watches at least one mystery science theater 3000 film)

Liver, you GOTTA go rent one. Trust me, you'll fall over laughing. If you've EVER been pissed off by plotholes, you'll love MST3K. They make a joke about once every 5 seconds on average.

[theruudstar]

Don't tell me you've never heard of MST3K???

Allright, then I won't tell you.

[Kamikola]

Don't tell me you've never heard of MST3K???

Uh... I've never heard of MST3K...

Don't tell me you've never heard of MST3K???

Allright, then I won't tell you.

And I say....

I have never heard of it.

You didn't say anything about writing :twisted:

[ApolloSeek]

MST3K means Mystery Science Thearte 3000. MST3K is a comedy TV show

in which the performers make critical comments on movies they regard as

cheesy or otherwise lacking merit.

MST3K format is to run the movie after a short segment in which the

performers introduce themselves and prepare the audience. While the

movie runs, MST3K performers make satirical comments on specific

scenes, dialogue or situtations as they occur in the movie. This process is

called MISTing, MST3King, or MSTing.

Writings can be MIST'd as well. The techinque is to highlight a section of

the writing under attack, comment upon it, select another and repeat the

process.

Deconstructicon tactics and MISTing are both similar and different. Similar

in that specific aspects are targeted and attacked. Different in that

Deconstructicons focus equally on both logic and satire, while MST3K

concentrates more on sarcasm. The Deconstructicons work in the tradition

of Jonathan Swift.

This results in a Deconstruciticon tactic called the double strike. It is used

when it is not possible to embed a logical arguement into a sarcastic

statement.

The form is:

<Statement showing logical flaws in target>

<Sarcastic attack>

[cait]

That IS the definition of 'ineffable.'

Yes it is but not to us. :twisted: our little secret :twisted: but sometimes I feel like we should commercialize it a bit so that people would know what we mean by that

or you know what? Why should we have to explain ourselves? Let's leave it like it is.

Erm. I actually had no idea what that word meant, let alone what we mean by it. So...what do we mean by it?

:?

[Borrible Cal]

Erm. I actually had no idea what that word meant, let alone what we mean by it. So...what do we mean by it?

Well, here goes with an explanation I hope is coherent...

I forget who first came up with it, but in UK slang (slightly dated) the work 'effing' sometimes appears as a slightly less offensive version of 'fucking'. By, erm, reinterpreting the second syllable of the word on the basis of that bit of slang, 'ineffable' can be taken as meaning 'unfuckable'.

It gets bonus points as a pun for riffing on the correct meaning of 'ineffable', too, with 'unfuckable' of course meaning 'unknowable' in another sense--the Biblical one...

It's very amusing, in a satisfyingly subtle way. And in-jokes are always good things.

Borrible Cal.

[cait]

Ahaha, that's great! I like it. ^.^

[Abbey Normal]

The form is:

<Statement showing logical flaws in target>

<Sarcastic attack>

Yeah. Sorry about the confusion, I forget that everybody else in the world isn't a rabid MST3K fan like I am :lol:

I would highly, HIGHLY recommend watching it to anybody who loves bad movies and weird comedy.

Oh, and here's a link to a famous msting, "The Eye Of Argon", just to give you an idea of what it's all about.

[Silly Green Monkey]

Calgon, blow me away!

[Abbey Normal]

Come on, skull, pop out of my skin!

[Islander9]

Ah excellente, ka nui te pai!

Never heard of MSTetc before - a day learning anything is a day lived!

"Greetings, and welcome to the ineffable couch of Holmes my pipkin."

Ineffable used in the triune sense there-
