Re: Things you never ever hear in real life

There was only one favorite philosopher, and he died on the cross.

Ogged, are you saying that your statement in 1 falls under the category of "things you never ever hear in real life", or are you saying you think Jesus is teh hott?

Except when philosophers discovered the work of Rachel Wacholder and published it under their own names, you heard it a lot.

Okay, so I already made another version of this joke. I wanted to make it again.

Yes, there also exists the posssibility that Ogged was insinuating that Labs is Christ.

Stigmata Labs.

Labs is making an unwarranted assumption. Isn't "hot" as a stand-in for attractiveness now spelled "hott"? So maybe Silvana wasn't saying that she thinks philosophers are attractive, but rather that she thinks they (or their arguments) are overheated.

phil[oso]phers are hot.

To be technical, she didn't really say "philphers are hot."

And a clear evidentiary case could be made using this photo, wherein Zizek does indeed look overheated, but by no means hott.

Of course not, because philphers are almost never hot. Oso is Spanish for bear, though, so perhaps big, hairy philphers are the exception to the rule.

Well, yes, they do tend to get a bit overheated, but that can be part of the charm. Can. But I meant teh hott, pardon my archaic usage.

sorry, labs, but anyone who thinks philosophers are hot or even hott is not or even nott. at best, emily latella on a bad-hair day, and minus a limb.

Speaking of the MSM, I'm sure that you're all familiar with the excessive number of quotes attributed to a spokesman or other individual speaking off the record. So, I'm listening to a podcast of a Kaiser family foundation discussion put on with the Commonwealth Fund of how to improve efficiency and quality in health care that was held on Capitol Hill.

They had a bunch of speakers. Some from the private sector, and a coup;e Congressional staffers. So the moderator introduces the Republican staffer, says who she is and before she begins to speak she says, "I'm afraid that this has to be OFF THE RECORD. So, put your pencils down" There's an mp3 audio available, streaming audio, and there's a transcript with her name and comments on it.

WTF? What exactly does off-the-record mean then? Are these journalist just going to refuse to quote her? What's the point? It had to do with Medicare payment for cost-effectiveness. It wasn't a leak or a juicy scandal that she was talking about.

See, at that point the audience should have gotten up as one person and left. Either that or ignored the statement and quoted her copiously by name.

oggged, you can have both Jordan and Morganna. Neither one is hott, really, or at least not as hott as silvania, that woodland nymph.

philphers are almost never hot. Oso is Spanish for bear, though, so perhaps big, hairy philphers are the exception to the rule.

So I understand that oso philphers are big, hairy philphers and philpher osos are bears with a penchant for philphering, but what are phil oso phers? A question for the Amherst College Department of Oso Philphery...

I can see how a drowning man might find Jordan hot, but otherwise, not so much.

Between Jordan and Rachel, I'm beginning to think that Ogged's occassionally unorthodox taste amounts to a distribution problem.

Sometimes I quote Sammy Sosa in the heat of passion. My Dominican accent is kinda weak, though.
