get a haircut you fucking hippie.


Yeah, my teeth are a trainwreck, but that in no way impedes my outstanding beauty. And I'm a long way from being a hippy. I can only just get a comb through it.

ANYWAY. NVM

View Photos of Me (1,471)


68 of those were actually put up by me over a 2 year period of time.

i go out a lot. people take pictures of me. they put them on facebook. they tag me in them. whatever.

i can, but he's dead via a combo of airplane head wound and cocaine. I guess his ghost was going to try and fuck itself into the next 2 years as hard as it could, quickly before the masses realized that there were OTHERS....

frankly the best Asimov for me is the short story collections, of which there are many many, since he wrote many sci fi as well as historical and detective stories.
the Foundation Series is very influential and a touchstone for any sci fi involvement you may want to have.

my fave fave asimov is the non fiction stuff he did in his last 20 years. genius stuff, written in plain english. then again, I love reference books.
Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare


 


Asimov's Guide to the Bible


 


this one is my fave. Asimov's biographical encyclopedia of science and technology.


 



a friend just gave me literally a box load of asimov stuff. i don't think it has any of his non fiction but it does have quite a few collections of his short stories. I can see Robot Visions at the top as I type this. I might start with that one. I read I, Robot as as kid and loved that and assume the short stories in Robot Visions are going to be along those lines.

And there lies the difference between English and American beauty: American's are beautiful because of their teeth, we're beautiful in spite of ours. We have a multi-dimensional beauty. Americans just have good dentists.

Satan 09.23.2009 03:25 PM

i haven't been to the dentist in at least ten years.

Rob Instigator 09.23.2009 03:28 PM

americans flouridate their water which prevents at least SOME cavities, (you have to drink tapwater to get the bnefits)

Kloriel 09.23.2009 03:29 PM

re: satan

now we know why the proton machine in switzerland failed.

terriblecanyons 09.23.2009 03:29 PM

I have super-teeth. My dentist informed me it is almost impossible for me to get a cavity.

exactly.
although i don't post that many pix of myself (seeing that i'm always with my son on pix and gmku taught me to respect my son's rights by not posting pictures of him without asking his permission or having him sign some form which would allow me to ), i totally agree with the above statement.

demonrail666 09.23.2009 03:30 PM

i like the mystery of having no idea what a poster looks like. i like the fact that, in my head, jon boy is faceless. maybe he(?) has posted a pic but i haven't seen it and so my imagination is able to run riot, and riotously it's run.

jon boy 09.23.2009 03:30 PM

my teeth are from the teeth of other people that donated them to me because i am so brill.

Kloriel 09.23.2009 03:31 PM

demon:
so what happens when it's all ran out? do you need to fill your tank with more jon boys?

I can see what you mean. Still, why do you seem to care enough to start a thread about it?

_slavo_ 09.23.2009 03:36 PM

Cause he's wondering about it.
Actually, this question came to my mind as well today, having seen about 5 new pics of Satan in recent 2 days or so.

demonrail666 09.23.2009 03:37 PM

since when has starting a thread about a topic required any desire to find out the answer to the question it poses?

You mean, apart from the 'what sort of gay would you be' thread?

terriblecanyons 09.23.2009 03:39 PM

solution: if you don't like it, don't fucking click on the "post a picture of yourself" thread.

It's not that hard.

kthx.

demonrail666 09.23.2009 03:40 PM

every rule has its exception - and that was a particularly brilliant one.

and in answer to that particular question, rob halford

Glice 09.23.2009 03:41 PM

Don't tell me, tell the thread.

Genteel Death 09.23.2009 03:46 PM

I was going to start a thread and quote my favourite posts/threads by jonboy, then realised that they would all consist of the same whinging concept repeated by 10,646.

simply asking a question, or is that too difficult to understand?

demonrail666 09.23.2009 03:49 PM

exactly again. people repeat themselves, either through wit, vocabulary, music tastes or looks. by the time someone's reaches a dozen or so posts they've revealed all that they need to reveal about themselves. after that it's just sheer bludgeoning

You don't really believe that, do you?

demonrail666 09.23.2009 03:51 PM

no, but it's the internet so i feel bored enough to say it in a way that i wouldn't bother if i were talking to people face to face.

floatingslowly 09.23.2009 03:53 PM

I have lots of pictures of myself in my iPhone.

they come in handy when I need to masturbate.

mirrors always fog up in the shower.

Again, you always ask the same sort of whinging, ''I look down on you, but please tell me more'' sort of questions. Surely you must be aware of that much more than I am? Of course you post whatever you like, and please continue doing so, since I like irritating you.

Whatever.

demonrail666 09.23.2009 03:55 PM

and so the question needs to be asked: why are you compelled to irritate people?

Because they feel compelled to irritate me. Or they try hard anyway. Answered.

that's vanity though. it implies that something you find irritating is designed to irritate you personally.

How is something meant to irritate you, then? I don't have an idea of what you mean with the vanity thing, nor I care. Just replying to someone who seems irritated by my posts, that's all.

Kloriel 09.23.2009 04:05 PM

demon, shut up for a second.

jb's posts don't really irritate me, and on the same vein, when people call pork a cunt I don't really get it. So I just assume that I'm ignorant; maybe there is knowledge I don't have that warrant the ropes thrown back and forth, or maybe there are no such ropes and you are all bitter sand filled vaginas that hate feminists... no maybe there are chains. Maybe there are some mother fucking chain and some eye lid slashing rattlesnake strikes across optical mucus membranes. That is the shit. Yeah. Yeah.
