The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[SredniVashtar]

And I'm DigitalPigSnuggler.  Accept no limey substitutes from the land of rum, sodomy, and the lash.

Oops!

You won't believe me, but it was a pure coincidence. It's Newton and Leibnitz all over again.

Don't knock rum, sodomy or the lash until you've tried them, by the way.

I believe you.  There is a fellowship, a kind of collective consciousness amongst us fags that was developed out of the necessity to find mates back when being gay was illegal.  It's like telepathy or something.

All that other stuff you write, I thought of that first, too.

This is the ad that just showed up below my prior post.  I saved it for Senda.  One, he can order one and perform an unboxing video on it.  He can order it for the outside cats, so when it is Din-Din time for Senda and guests they will be easier to make for the main course.  Thai foods are especially complimentary. 

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

The whole star thing is absurd. The media even covering that was a waste of time and utter joke.

Here is a traditional "sheriff star"

Senda has said numerous times that he rents a post office box in a building containing a (Contra Costa County) Sheriff's station.  So he should be familiar with the seven-pointed badge that I posted.

Also, the six-pointed stars nearly always have knobs on the end of them -- like you see in the picture that you posted -- which distinguishes them from a Star of David.

Finally, speaking of knobs, Senda is an anti-Semetic knob who murders cats.

In the shower, I expect. No doubt it inspired your maiden voyage into Shakespeare-themed SV fan fic: A Midsummer Night's Wet Dream.

Thank you, I'm here all evening!

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

No date?  Pity, though hardly unexpected.

[dipp]

OLG maybe you can help Senda invest in one of those t-shirst with the iron on tie? A good broadcaster shouldn't be looking so stained by vid 1064.



A little foundation never hurt either

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

So I guess that's the extent to which Senda is going to address his attempted larceny with the fake robbery story: he sends his bitch OLG here to offer some far-fetched, limp-wristed defence of his crime.

Just kill yourself Senda.  Do it for the cats.

[SredniVashtar]

No, she's got a puncture, so I thought I'd brighten your miserable lives instead.

When do you start?  Will there be original material used?

Well, since you asked, I did consult the 'DPS Book of Witty Remarks and Put-Downs' but I seem to have lost it. It was printed on a postage stamp, so I guess it must have slipped down the back of the sofa.

What do porn and Shakespeare's plays have in common?

No, the answer is not "They both involve children."  Try to think of an answer that is not specific to you.

The answer is: They both repeat the same action, endlessly.  It's the same basic routine with some variations imparted by the director.  Yet no one gets tired of watching it.  There seems to be an endless demand for it.  Professionals think they can still make money off of their version.  Amateurs do it for the fun of it.  And it is largely ho-hum unless one of the giants is part of the cast.

I'm sure you got that last part, wink wink nudge nudge.

Not so much of a postage stamp, more of a micro-dot, but I don't want to discourage you, so you keep on keeping on. In fact the plays didn't really feature children as such, more adolescents really, that's why the bit in Hamlet about 'little eyases' is interesting, because that was a reference  to the fact that they were getting squeezed out by troops of child-actors at the time.

Except porn usually has fewer deaths at the end than your typical Shakespeare play. Although you keep on PMing me about those 'speciality' videos of yours that you get delivered from Bulgaria under plain cover, so no doubt it's easy to get confused from time to time.

Of course there are differences, although the view count on your media player suggests otherwise.

Shakespeare just wrote what was the popular culture medium of his time. He wrote plays.
If we invented TV sooner he would have written that.

He was the Joss Whedon of his time.

I can imagine SV having a wank to Peter O'Toole (!) talking about "little boys" in The Lion In Winter" and then reaching for his scoot rag, while muttering "Will these hands ne'er be clean?

That why I drink.  But the imagine continues to haunt me, like Senda standing up in one of his videos and tugging at his underwear.

Not many people are queuing up to buy reading copies of the scripts for season three of Buffy,  or The Avengers, are they? That's why the idea that Shakespeare was just an Elizabethan scriptwriter doesn't stand up. He was famous in his lifetime as a writer of poems anyway, rather than plays, and it was only thanks to other people that the texts are still around, although some are severely butchered. And he was writing for two distinct sets of people: the groundlings on the floor, and the educated  people in the seats. You don't see that kind of separation in popular culture today, with the possible exception of Pixar.

Yes, it's Sunday, I'm bored, and I will argue with anyone tonight.

[SredniVashtar]

I can imagine SV having a wank to Peter O'Toole.

As long as these imaginings don't take place while you are hanging around the children's playground again. We don't want a repetition of last time. I'm sure you have paid many a barely legal urchin good money to enact such a scene, while you observe miserably from the closet, excited yet ashamed at the same time.

As Noel Coward said after O'Toole came to prominence in his most famous role: if he'd been any prettier they could have called it 'Florence of Arabia'.

I seem to be drawing a blank. Who wrote the screenplay for Toy Story?

[SredniVashtar]

I seem to be drawing a blank.

Better than firing them. (Sorry, DPS, didn't mean to betray a confidence)

Who wrote the screenplay for Toy Story?

Edith Sitwell.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

I should have guessed that you would prefer the younger, prettier Peter O'Toole.

I see you as more of a Jeffrey Bernard man. Gradually folding in on yourself, pickled in Vodka. You could be brothers.

Yah that's you

I believe that is an artifact from a cat shatting itself as it was forced into the gaping maw below Senda's nose.

"In his youth Bernard was considered extremely good-looking and supplemented his earnings with gifts and loans from wealthy older women."

Whoa.  It's like I'm reading MY biography.

"a 'suicide note in weekly instalments' and principally chronicled his daily round of intoxication and dissipation"

Whoa.  Now it's like I'm reading YOUR biography.

[SredniVashtar]

Whoa.  Now it's like I'm reading YOUR biography.

Even better, you can read my thoughts: you obviously didn't have a clue who Bernard was ten minutes ago, and some hasty googling has given you enough ammo to lob a rusty grenade my way.
