Dear Friends,

Here are some things.  I write in purple because I like purple.  Freedom of expression means that I get to express myself to please myself.  It also means that I may choose to overlook someone else's choices in self-expression.  (On this board system, I may "ignore" someone and thereby more easily avoid their choices.)  So, as long as I'm free to choose, I shall choose to be posting in the color of freedom, independence, and self-sovereignty, as it pleases me best.

Rosie, I am, of course, not responsible for the actions of others in the recent past.  (Maybe if all the colors were already taken, the trolls wouldn't have any.)

KBCraig, thanks for your kind words, for reading my stuff, for making me feel welcome, and for being so multi-faceted and community-oriented, yourself.  You rock!

Beth, you are absolutely correct.  It is more fun with someone of the opposite sex.  The joys of love, friendship, sex, and orgasms multiply when shared.  (See!  KBCraig's right about word wrangling.  I worked in multiple orgasms there.  Clever, heh?  )

Despite what Doug Stanhope says http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8APlx9btTn8 in its favor, however, "the actual digit in the male urethra" does not sound like fun.  Didja know he's running for the Libertarian Party nomination?  He restores my confidence in the electoral process. 

Regards,

Jim

Dear Beth,

...

Really, I've no idea how you look, so I cannot comment on your thought that you look bad now. 

Having recently had the chance to spend a little time with Beth, I'll vouch that she's cute 

[Beth221]

Thanks Kat!!  I am kinda cute!!  Thats what Dan, my SO tells me!!

Dear Kat,

Having encountered Beth's MySpace page, I'll aver that she's cute.  Also, athletic, an animal lover (or is the turtle on the menu?) and a jello wrestling aficionado.

And now off to other posts.

Regards,

Jim

Dear Kevin,

Your avatar is distinctive enough for folks to recognize your posts. (And I like it -- it's quite Galt-esque.)

There is actually a bit of story behind it, found here:  http://indomitus.net/thecrest.html for those who like a bit of a story.

The short of it is that the nautical letter flag for "I" is yellow with a black ball centered.  Of course, "I" is a word that I call myself, and also the first letter of individualism.  Black flags are widespread among anarchists and pirates, and to place a bit of differencing there (since I'm not really an anarchist, as I favor self-government, and not a pirate, as I respect private property) I added the gold dollar sign - from Galt's Gulch, to be sure.

And that's the short version.

Regards,

Jim

 "... sed ego sum homo indomitus!"  I like it

i love jello wrestling, i use the sugar free kind.  its a fun slippery sport!  as soon as it warms up, out will come the jello shots!

I know a friend in upstate NY who holds similar parties... but instead, they fill up a kiddie pool and add powdered J-lube... Just as slippery, and still no sugar! He's been trying to get me up there for a party for years, but with a baby, I'll have to wait until you get to NH! :-)

I'll volunteer to keep track of potential female-looking jello wrestlers, to organize one match per night if sufficient demand is met, to draw up the tourney brackets, and to keep score.

I figure if I'm gonna volunteer to do anything at porcfest, THIS IS IT!

Dan, you will earn a medal for your dedicated service to porcupines everywhere. LOL

I know that some Christian people do "evangelistic dating", in hopes to somehow convert the non-christians they're dating. Libertarians should do the same thing. It's the duty of all young single Libertarian men to go find the most socialist tree-hugging vegan woman you can, and make her a gun-toating, liberty-loving, free-marketer.

Although she wasn't a tree-hugging vegan, my wife claims that I've done this to her (she had never shot -- or wanted to shoot -- a gun before meeting me; now she "loves it") and she's even more of an ideologue now than I am.

Nice try at reverse psychology: you're just trying to make sure there are more gun-loving free-marketeer carnivores left for you. 

When Mary and I were courting, she swore she was a Democrat, but she was mostly apolitical. I knew she really wasn't, because she was a single mother refusing government support, a small business owner who risked everything to get started, and generally contemptuous of regulations and taxes. With just a bit of gentle discussion, her eyes opened and now she's an avowed libertarian and avid Ron Paul supporter.

No, she doesn't have a sister.

"No, she doesn't have a sister.  Evil"


The universe is so cruel.

Damn. you got me.

[Fragilityh14]

that isn't actually reverse psychology, it is just plain old trickery

he does actually want you to go date a "socialist tree-hugging vegan woman", just for different reasons than to convert her.
