Christmas with Saddam
My dorm's annual Christmas party was last night, and every year there is a suite-decorating contest. Yes, our idea was actually "Christmas with Sadaam." We cleared the main suite area clear of everything except for a cot (futon sans mattress) with a blanket, a half-eaten meal of nasty looking soup, and had Arab music playing in the background. My roommate--who bears a surprisingly striking resemblance to Sadaam Hussein--sat in a corner on a wooden chair, dressed in ragged camo pants and a dirty undershit, reading a book. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we had jumper cables attached to the metal cot frame for torturous effect and shock value.
People walked in and immediately started laughing. They loved it. My RD (resident director) called our exhibit "genius." Unfortunately, we lost to suite 14, decorated as a lodge. Oh well. Despite having lost, we all agreed that nobody would be talking about "The Lodge" in the future. But "Christmas with Saddam"? May it never be forgotten.
Saddam, Saddam Hussein, torture, Christmas, college humor, interrogation, jumper cables, arab music

10 to 1 that you did not get laid because of this display. Nobody will be talking about "The Lodge" except for the babes who got tag teamed there. Chicks can sense dipshits and are instictively repelled.
Feed your id.

Wow Seth, your blog has been invaded by morons!
I find it amazing that ANYONE who uses the so-called "f-word" would find it appropriate to lecture SOMEONE ELSE about their stupidity. Talk about the pot and the kettle...
And Seth, I think you misspelled "undershirt"...
So, "Neofascist," you are so offended by the word "fuck" that it blinds your ability to engage in critical thinking? Personally, I'd say that the comments of "Digby" are relatively more offensive than Clay's. What is most disappointing to me is that you aren't the only childlike person who is unreasonably offended by the letters f,u,c, and k arranged in said order. Unfortunately, there are armies of intellectual midgets like you who are allowed to vote and/or pester the FCC. Seriously, people like you are the reason that more sophisticated folk mock middle America. It is shocking that with all of the problems in our society which should offend people, the archaic Anglo-Saxon term for sex can arouse such disproportional ire.
Oh yeah, as for your opinion that only morons use the word "fuck": I went to one of the top law schools in this country and while there I heard "fuck" used by people who are a lot smarter than you. I am now a civil defense attorney in a private firm (as a right winger, you should love that) and I can assure you that highly intelligent lawyers drop "f-bombs" with regularity.
Take your petty, myopic concept of "morality" and shove it up your ass.
A couple of thoughts, and then I will waste no more time with such immaturity. This thread is closed after this comment.
Clay bashes Neo for not only his dislike of the so called f-word, but also links his opposition to an inability to "engage in critical thinking." Ahem. Take a look at Clay's original comment and tell me if there's anything other than personal opinion in there. For example: "if you were drunk..." or "it just wasn't funny." Gee, I'm astounded by your intellectual skills, Clay! There was no critical thinking for Neo to respond to, just a rude comment--appropriately responded to, by the way.
The incredible irony here is that Clay and Rip are accusing Neo of a) no critical thinking skills, b) being an intellectual midget, and c) being an unsophisticated middle American... all because he isn't as comfortable as they are with the f-word. And of course, I apparently can no longer present credible "worthwhile comments on politics" due to my suite decorations--all because of a joke that Clay and Rip didn't find funny. Hmmm, do I sense some poor thinking skills here? Rip and Clay remind me of the scene in "Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail" where the crowd is trying to figure out if the woman is a witch.
BEDEVERE: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of
wood.
BEDEVERE: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
Neo and I are not the ones being immature or intellectually dishonest. Make sure you get that sentence. I tried to use small enough words so all us unintellectual folks ken git it.
An impressive vocabulary and ability to use ad hominem attacks doesn't necessarily score anything on the Intellectual-O-Meter, and it most definitely scores a zero on the meters of wisdom and maturity.
Intellectuallism without morality is bankrupt and dangerous. A prime example.
