"Surpassing all kings, powerful and tall beyond all others, violent, splendid, a wild bull of a man, unvanquished leader, hero in the front lines, beloved by his soldiers — fortress they called him, protector of the people, raging flood that destroys all defenses — two-thirds divine and one-third human, son of King Lugalbanda, who became a god, and of the goddess Ninsun, he opened the mountain passes, dug wells on the slopes, crossed the vast ocean, sailed to the rising sun, journeyed to the edge of the world, in search of eternal life, and once he found Utnapishtim — the man who survived the Great Flood and was made immortal — he brought back the ancient, forgotten rites, restoring the temples that the Flood had destroyed, renewing the statutes and sacraments for the welfare of the people and the sacred land. Who is like Gilgamesh? What other king has inspired such awe? Who else can say, “I alone rule, supreme among mankind”? The goddess Aruru, mother of creation, had designed his body, had made him the strongest of men — huge, handsome, radiant, perfect. The city is his possession, he struts through it, arrogant, his head raised high, trampling its citizens like a wild bull. He is king, he does whatever he wants, takes the son from his father and crushes him, takes the girl from her mother and uses her, the warrior’s daughter, the young man’s bride, he uses her, no one dares to oppose him. But the people of Uruk cried out to heaven, and their lamentation was heard, the gods are not unfeeling, their hearts were touched, they went to Anu, father of them all, protector of the realm of sacred Uruk, and spoke to him on the people’s behalf: “Heavenly Father, Gilgamesh — noble as he is, splendid as he is — has exceeded all bounds. The people suffer from his tyranny, the people cry out that he takes the son from his father and crushes him, takes the girl from her mother and uses her, the warrior’s daughter, the young man’s bride, he uses her, no one dares to oppose him. Is this how you want your king to rule? Should a shepherd savage his own flock? Father, do something, quickly, before the people overwhelm heaven with their heartrending cries.” Anu heard them, he nodded his head, then to the goddess, mother of creation, he called out: “Aruru, you are the one who created humans. Now go and create a double for Gilgamesh, his second self, a man who equals his strength and courage, a man who equals his stormy heart. Create a new hero, let them balance each other perfectly, so that Uruk has peace.” When Aruru heard this, she closed her eyes, and what Anu had commanded she formed in her mind. She moistened her hands, she pinched off some clay, she threw it into the wilderness, kneaded it, shaped it to her idea, and fashioned a man, a warrior, a hero: Enkidu the brave, as powerful and fierce as the war god Ninurta. Hair covered his body, hair grew thick on his head and hung down to his waist, like a woman’s hair. He roamed all over the wilderness, naked, far from the cities of men, ate grass with gazelles, and when he was thirsty he drank clear water from the waterholes, kneeling beside the antelope and deer." Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet 1, translated by Stephen Mitchel (the oldest story in human history, and the thing the Hebrew bible shamelessly plagiarizes)

Knowing North Korea it's probably made out of paper mache and powered by slaves turning wheels.

Probably but I'm talking about my whole living form, and since slavery is illegal it has no inherent price. Its a loop hole. Actually black market organ dealing is also illegal. Plus if you reduced the body to its basic components it would basically resemble a pile of dirt, with carbon in place of silicon. We are literally dirt cheep.

I always liked long hair on women, its one of my biggest preferences. But I get why not everyone goes for it, it can be a pain in the ass, I recently cut my hair for that very reason, it was getting to be shoulder length, except I'm Italian so it curled up on itself sticking out at odd angles making me resemble an anime character.

have fun, I'm crashing early, had a pretty productive day.

Probably but I'm way too opinionated for that to seriously effect me. I regularly tell entire groups of people they are all wrong about something and that I'm smarter than them, often while very very drunk. I use to style myself as a moderate, then I realized I don't have moderate views, I have very extreme views that intersect several points along a 4 axis ideological spectrum, but a scatter-plot would probably average me out as a leftist.

Speaking of cats,

I was talking about the first time.

That's awesome, do you ever reenact the first part of the date scene from pulp fiction when you have guests over?

The world needs more medieval parodies. like this lovecraftian one

This is the greatest thing I've seen in years. http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_shining_a_clockwork_orange_scarface_more_become_ottoman_miniature_style My favorites Ghost busters The shinning And a clockwork orange

you literally told me to stop using tinychat to join the board after reminding me to for at least the 10th time. and you sat there and waited for me to do it...

I'm making spiced milk tea, haven't done that in a while, I've mostly been drinking lemon black tea.

more or less, I even returned, on account of constant nagging by Rogue. Its better than the boards where when I left, but mostly just because I can say fuck without it being censored. The occasional nudity is also kind of neat.

Since human life has no intrinsic monetary value, myself 20 billion times, that should be more than enough to overwhelm all the worlds armies at once and found the new roman empire. Many me's will die in the process, but its a small price to pay to set up the human race to conquer the universe.

well I know how I make connections, I get drunk in public, usually at cons and go to every party I possibly can. So far for famous I've met John Saint John, half the cast of teamfourstar, and the ceo of cosplayer nation who is now a close personal friend of mine, and the governing board of at least two conventions, one of which would be right up your ally if you ever feel like taking a trip to MA in may. Also a shit ton of none famous people who are pretty cool guys and don't afraid of anything. Its good to branch out, meet people from other backgrounds, different industries, you never know when you might need their skills or influence. Plus it doesn't cost anything to make friends, save time and a modicum of effort. Beyond that just do the things you already listed and try to avoid politics unless you want to become infamous, normally I wouldn't say that but the internet is absurdly sexist and you will get death threats if you offend their delicate sensibilities. However if you don't care about that, becoming controversial is a good way to get more notoriety, as they say all publicity is good publicity.

As I have said in the past, you get what you pay for.

never really had an issue with either ford, baring car accidents. still having a back up is a good policy. plus a truck is good if you need to occasionally move crap. I mean we managed to fit all the materials to build our shed on the roof of our ford but it took several trips.

We used to have two cars, then they both broke and from then on we only had one. The main reason was my mom stopped driving so having two cars wasn't necessary until I got my licence a few years ago, and then we were too broke to afford it. That has only changed recently.

so just the mustang, and possible a Mercedes? I guess having two functioning vehicles is reasonable, that's our plan. Not sure what car my father is going to get but I am happy with his handmedown ford station wagon. Though I would have preferred the old one that got totaled, it had no blind spot.

how many cars do you have?

Well he's insane, bloodthirsty, misanthropic, and a lush. Also lazy as fuck.
