Community and the MonkeysphereWonderKraut samples an essay on community, using monkeys as an example. Everything's better with monkeys. I think any philospher who really wants to change the world should use monkeys to illustrate his points. Coincentally, I set the size of one's "community" at 130; the monkeysphere essay sets it at 150. So I guess that must be in the ballpark. If you like the basic idea of the Monkeysphere, you can read the whole essay here at Pointless Waste of Time. posted by Ace at 12:36 PM
CommentsThere are, like, six people in my Monkeysphere. And four of those are imaginary. Posted by: Allah on December 13, 2005 12:50 PM
This guy is seriously funny or insane. Maybe insanely funny. Read his article on real war sims. Even better, read his Halo 2 analysis, where the metro playing Halo 2 gives a Dick Cheney worthy quote: I looked down and it was then that I noticed, with some discomfort, that John had become physically aroused by the battle. John's wife apparently noticed, too, as she covered her eyes with one hand, as if to contemplate the state of her life. As politely and casually as I could, I suggested that he "might adjust his pants." "It wouldn't do much good," John replied, "due to my enormous erection. The erection I get from murder.” Posted by: joeindc44 on December 13, 2005 01:09 PM

Hey, getting your face and balls eaten off is a horrific maiming. But if monkeys are doing it, at least it's a horrific maiming... OF HILLARITY! Posted by: Cautiously Pessimistic on December 13, 2005 02:38 PM
two things: 1. is it wrong to think about monkeys dressed up like pirates? especially when you're shredding down a mountainside while the monkey-pirates are tying to BLEEP you in the BLEEP while you're wearing your razor-fur BLEEP BLEEP it? 2. is it true what they say about the size of your Monkeysphere? that chicks dig a fella with, you know...a big...community?

Ace, I'm glad you're linking again to pointlesswasteoftime.com. It's one of my absolute favorite comedy sites on the Internet, and it's always surrea when I visit one "daily visit" website to read them discovering another site I look at every day. As a bonus, the site's creator and chief producer, David Wong (a pseudonym) is about as big a dyed-in-the-wool conservative Republican as you can get it, a rarity for such a big-time funnyman. I didn't even know myself until I started reading the site's forums and looking through the one section dedicated to serious discussion. In addition to comedy articles, Wong occassionally writes (usually with trademark sarcasm evident in this piece) somewhat serious essays as well, such as his fair-minded reaction to Jack Thompson's anti-gaming crusade, or his not-so-subtle takedown of determinism/relativism/atheism in "Embrace the Horror." It might be that nothing beats his most infamous piece, though: "50 Reasons Why Lord of the Rings Sucks": http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/film/50reasons.html Sarcasm taken into a whole new dimension, my friends. Enjoy. Posted by: Eric Spratling on December 14, 2005 02:13 AM
his not-so-subtle takedown of determinism/relativism/atheism in "Embrace the Horror." Thank you for pointing that one out, it is marvelous. I just read it and it's everything I've wanted and tried to say to anti-theists and then some. Posted by: Sue Dohnim on December 14, 2005 09:12 AM
According to Ace, "Everything's better with monkeys." That kind of thinking leads to a chimp as president. A quote just for you, Ace: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." -- H.L. Mencken

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
