Also, the xbox is great. That’s what my surprise life-ruining baby turned out to be. Check me out on live I’m the same name as somewhere around here. I am pretty bad at games.
Not that I ever stopped tagging; I just figured I should say it into the darkness.
Tonight, many people in Georgia snow the biggest snow they have ever seen. Some saw it for the first time, and some were merely amused by how ridiculously retarded everyone gets when something falls from the sky.
Seriously. The roads become much like a pinball machine. Everyone talks about how they next day is already a snow day even though an inch hasn’t stuck and it’s going to stop soon. They talk about being trapped at work and having to sleep there.
It’s hilarious. Oh and certainly a bit more in a few hours than we’ve gotten the past two years.
Of course it was shitty frozen rain by the time I left, but that doesn’t matter.
This sketch from The State was the first time I had been made aware of the idea of pushing a nonsense argument beyond its own limit:
This method has come under frequent use the past couple of years under what has become the insane modern umbrella of serious comedy.
With some comedy we are just past the point of jokes, where a joke can even be past itself, and this is that case. The real emphasis lies in drawing attention to the argument despite its pointlessness. This is a serious matter. This is acting; there’s an art form in excessively pigheaded lying.
Seem familiar? If you work in a bureaucratic environment, this crap tends to happen in real life! Politics? Watch a modern debate and tell me those guys are pushing lies to the point of comedy. They use this beyond circular reasoning crap as a debate tactic. It’s post-ironic.
