Less Stephanie, Please

[Tom Foppiano]

Some people like to say, "You can't get rid of things you dislike by using them." While they're usually referring to violence, or voting, or the government in general, I often think of fire.

Anyone know how oil companies, at least used to, get rid of raging drill site fires?





Answer: They created an even bigger fire that sucked all of the oxygen out of the air and put out the original fire. So, yes, you can put out fire with fire. Weird.

I think that guy's name is/was Red Adair...he made a career out of it.  Think he got called out to Iraq in '91.

WTF does this have to do with Stephanie?

Want to compair Stephanie with a real gal? Compair her on the latest Porctherapy with Antigone on Dale's Flaming Freedom. They both talked about Barbie Dolls and had, of course completely different opinions. Antigone's was cool, reality based and Stephanie's was... well....not.

Stephanie made the comment, but I didn't remember how she worded it so I was reluctant to quote her. I think its silly to say things like, "You can't stop violence with violence." I have gun in my home. I have a gun because I believe that I can stop violence with violence.


What did she say about Barbie dolls?

Starship Troopers Scene Citizens vs Civilians

Violence is NEVER the answer!!!

Starship Troopers, for instance. They lost thousands of human lives in the battle against the bugs, needlessly.

Wouldn't it have been better to just reason with the bugs or passively oppose their advances? Maybe ostracise the bugs and show them the err of their ways?



I dunno, sounds reasonable to me.

Indeed, those were dark days in the history of human civilization.

Oh, sounds good, why don't you post that on a sign in your front yard?  Also saying something like "NO GUNS IN THIS HOME".

[Turd Ferguson]

Nah, I just wait till they break in and explain it to them at that time. Get a pot of coffee going and talk it over, calmly and reasonably.

Good lord....I just spit on computer screen from laughing so hard.

Nice one, Mike.

I checked downloads of all of the January FTL podcasts. The Sunday shows where in the top 54% percentile. I will check back farther, but my initial findings show that Sunday shows with Stephanie and me are as popular as the regular show and 20+% more so than the old Sunday show format.

Of course it is more popular with YOU making up 1/2 of the show and not a bunch of guys acting immature or girls giggling the entire time.

Right-O. It's far easier to FF through Stephanie's prattle when one is reasonably certain that there is something worth listening to on the other side.

Has that happened?

Has that happened?

Sunday show (24 January 2012) - she got to yammering on three different times during the podcast; when she finally shut up, sanity was restored. She attempted to define weird and marriage, but largely kept her inane ramblings to a minimum.
