This FiOS connection, I gather that it is fast?

And the man's just trying to get the word out about dragons. Nothing crazy about that.

I hate black dragons.

Gotta admire the dude's focus. "I'm on tv, and you're going to hear about my novel and my philosophy, interview be damned."

Fox News, bringing us the news that matters by interviewing crazy people.

Seriously though, no wonder everyone hates that guy. He's the type you end up wanting to kill because every day is "I'm not paying tuition just to have you derail every fucking class with your ravings."

Maybe that person is just visiting DC?

It's harder to laugh at Kenneth Eng

Oh no it isn't.

Careful, apo, or Brock Landers will start lecturing you.

But anyway, it's the interviewer I'm really laughing at. "How you likin' that job now that they make you interview this guy, huh?"

John Gibson is always good for a laugh.

"laugh" s/b "schadenfreudelesque cringe"

Because solipsism is true, it is my philosophy. My philosophy is that since solipsism is true, I am the only consciousness, which is the only one I am aware of, which is the definition of solipsism. Therefore, I have a philosophy of solipsism in which it is true that I am God. Q.E.D., man.

It was clear from early on that he was genuinely nuts.

8: That reminds me, I need to reopen the Obama Antichrist thread.

DID YOU CLOSE IT!??!??!?

I closed it temporarily to make a crazy person get bored and go away.

I've been meaning to keep trying to post on it, so as to be the first commenter of the Second Coming. You've probably just ruined my chances though, apo. Thanks.

Act now, M/tch!

My fate is in your hands, apo.

why does he keep bringing up sofia coppola?

He thinks "lost in translation" is racist.

I would have thought "The Virgin Suicides" would be more relevant to Eng's situation.

I really can't bring myself to watch Eng's interview.

I'm not making any claims, but I have FIOS, and I did click in from ObWi last night. I think I show up with 3 different IP addresses, depending on which computer I use. (Right now I'm on my laptop, with wireless. Slower, but upstairs.) I don't live in DC, but can throw a rock from my back door into the District.

11 -Don't go watering down the man's argument by leaving out the science, AWB. The real clincher is that perception creates reality on both the quantum and relativistic realms.

aw, now, who the fuck changed their handle to oztk?

Just a lurker.

Actually, I've left a comment or two under this handle before, but given the recent discussion of handles I was contemplating changing it. Inspiration did not strike, and so I decided against it.

sorry oztk, now I feel bad. I thought, what if he/she's a lurker, and only now mustered up the courage to comment, and I'm derailing his/her incredible job-destroying timesink illustrious commenting future at unfogged? because I love lurkers. c'mere lurkers, I'm going to give you all a big hug, ya loveable unmemorable handle-havin' goombahs.

That's the spirit, alameida.

What happened at Obsidian?

Plus, oztk shares an alma mater with Husband X and me. And like thirty other people here.

I don't know whether to be flattered that BW remembers me, or be suspicious that he's just acting nice to lure other unsuspecting lurkers out into the open so that he can eviscerate their grammar.

And I knew that LB was one of us, but not Husband X. We're everywhere.

I finally clicked through to see that YouTube of Eng. I couldn't watch even a minute of it.

24-hour cable news has a lot to answer for.

Thirty other people? I know about those mentioned so far, and there's me, and a couple of lurkers last week, but I thought that was about it.

Sorry—I was just down in the beauty supply district last night and they had a deal on hyperbole.

Maroon fight!

I've been relieved at the various backgrounds people have on this blog; I'd rather not think everybody had a version of the same story.

As eb reminds us, unf went to the law school.

So did John Ashcroft.

Notice that you never see Unf and Ashcroft in the same room together.

Thanks for making that explicit.

De nada.

I'd rather not think everybody had a version of the same story.

I presume that I'm the only Montana State alum who's commented enough to get a fruit basket. We're generally a serious lot -- the motto was Education for Efficiency when I went -- and the extent to which I'm an outlier in that respect is nowhere better demonstrated than in this exact spot.
