If you feel indigestion, grab a bucket and drop your pants. You may have just won the jackpot.

Not gonna lie, I'm rivited. Also, hi, EEjack.

Whoever wrote this was probably bullied in high school
You're right, he was, on account of his terrible acne and German accent and living south central Los Angeles, but it was probably nothing compared to being regularly beaten mercilessly by his abusive alcoholic father. Thankfully, Charles Bukowski went on to be on of the most well known, prolific and insightful poets and literatist in the modern era. His favorite subjects were alcohol, sex, drugs, and the insight that comes from living a hard life. Him and William S. Burroughs are some of the very best poets the counter-culture had to offer. His work is deep, mesmerizing, often blackly humorous, and contains the profundities of grit and soul.

Well, I already started, so might as well chuck the other 1 cent in, too. I have to disagree your assessment of MI6. It's your opinion, of course, so I doubt I will change your mind, but it's been my experience that what ever image of excessive swagger you so dislike in them is really that, just a shtick. Hey, everybody has something. I've known them to be rather down to earth and actually refreshingly polite on the whole.

Brilliant

Rush makes astute observations. I don't necessarily agree with all of these but when you subtract the spin, his analysis of the areas he's actually immersed in is well thought out. Good read.

Nah, might doesn't make right. Might makes what is.
This is quote worthy.

Back in the day, watching two leaders of great alliances clash on the OWF was like watching wrestling of the gods. Erudite and tactical thinkers, they usually gave great debate or at least effective propaganda. So popcorn worthy. Not so much any more....

It's not, but after the last tussle, I have a warchest to rebuild. The sorry SOB got at least 4 days of punching my nation in the face while I was away. Then sends peace after 2 days of fighting, after I blow my fiscal wad on getting back on even NS footing. Sheesh. I haven't been in peace mode with this nation yet, until now.
In the meantime I've been a busy little bee. Lots of forums visited, and people harassed.

Ha ha, thanks!
An interesting side note, after fiddling with the copper wire for half and hour and discarding the first one for being too short, I almost gave up, thinking the clip I saw was some sort of hoax, or I was just an idiot (both are equally likely on any given day). I gave it one last adjustment by pulling the wires closer to the magnet and the damn thing surprised me when it almost took off. When I went to pick it up, the top was so hot I dropped it. Science.

I've tried in the past (and had other people attempt as well) to convert it to an actual transparent image but it always looked pixelated and crummy.

But isn't the feeling of acceptance just a perpetuation of the irony? I mean if you remind yourself daily of this, wouldn't the real victory be not to know? Because if knowing is pointless anyway, why bother?
Trying to wrap my head around this question has only succeed in causing me to crawl deeper down the rabbit hole. Ha ha. The only purpose I find in this daily repetition is to bring both a sense of equanimity in the face of the twists and turns cast by that fickle mistress Lady Luck, like a calm within the eye of the storm, and to retain a sense of gratitude. I'm also fairly certain that the "lament" was written by some hard partying monks who did so with a good sense of humor behind the facade of seriousness the music imparts.
I still love this song, and you sir have a very eloquent grasp of the English language. This was a nice post. Kudos for posting the image of the original Medieval Manuscript. Maybe you should have Tywinn stop by so that he can get his daily dosage of "reality"...
Thank you for the kind words. Carl Orff's work is, indeed, an epic piece. Also, I like your animated alphabet thingy. Makes you look educated in the classics.

That was pretty smooth.

Correct, once you accept the crushing despairity of knowing the fortunes of your own life and those of your loved ones dance precariously on the precipice of whimsy, buffeted about by sociopathic local and national leaders, inscrutable financial markets erected upon shaky foundations of economic fallacies, treacherous companions and fickle allies, roll-of-the-dice social contagions, and other dolefully ironic twists of fate, coupled with the absolute fact of mortality accompanied by a sure reversal of fortune in health, we can all feel better about ourselves.
In truth, though, knowing all that and still soldiering on to kick ass and take names in our brief sojourn in this alien land does make one feel a bit like a bad ass. Plus, knowing a song in latin is pretty cool, too.
And actually, I do play this every morning right when I get to work as an ironic reminder to appreciate what I have today. For tomorrow....

How do you feel about stick figures? Because I can rock some stick figures.

Good stuff.
Here's one of many I've collected over the years..
“You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows and has always known that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival.” ~ Anthony Robbins

Thanks for the interview. Mogar is always a quality interviewee. Good stuff here, keep it up.

Damnit, potato!

Mmm, just the buying of the wonder at such a low infra level. And not having been at a higher level previously.

I've been trying to think up a youtube promotional vid or even just an animated gif or two that encapsulates the essence of the game without creating false expectations... and I can't do it. Except for hilariously over acted close up shots of a finger hitting a mouse button in movie-action-style. It's a "spreadsheet" game for spreadsheet nerds. Like us. There's nothing else quite like it, and I still love it, but how to give it that new modern visual twist???

ha ha, that's what I thought, too

Thanks. My only redeeming quality.

there, I've made it the "golden ratio"
