totally disconnected from reality ?



It doesn't get much more connected than this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah: supposed to have an HST connection and all that. You'd be better off reading the stuff of the Hunter's colleague, Mr. O'Rourke. The latter is cynical about life, but hasn't felt the need to sit in a house with his family and blow his brians out in the next room.

A chacun son Messiah, to paraphrase from a previous MFT post.

Smoking cigarettes seems to alarm peace activists much more than voting for Reagan does.
O'Rourke, P.J. (1987)

very funny (and frightingly true)

So who is Messiah? Is it Trudeau? Hunter ? What happened to the earlier Messiah, Ted Rall? Was he False? Was he actually Rall the Baptist? If Doonesbury is a Revelation, are the earlier or later panels the True Message? Will there be Fatwasses against the unbeliever Calvin&Hobbesians? The usurper BloomCountists? The heretic Far Siders? The Bitch Theologia beckons, and will Pepe dare to read between her upthrusted folds?

My Frontier Thesis said...

For all the supposed Idol smashing that Pepe believes he does, he still constructs demigods, and his beliefs manifest themselves in the form of said messiahs, whether its Doonesbury, or Bukowski, or, well, you get the idea.

This is merely an assertion. ...anyhow, it sounds plausible.

The Darkroom said...

so the mere quoting of someone turns you into an idol worshipper? fishing for a retort, any retort, turns you guys into a bunch of knuckleheads, I fear.

Tecumseh said...

Trudeau, in the Pepe view.

My Frontier Thesis said...

See Pepe, AI gave a retort.

Arelcao Akleos said...

" i dunno - who needs a fucking messiah " Pepe.

So, you prefer your Messiah like a Virgin, for the very first time?

Arelcao Akleos said...

Quoting alone, even quoting with distinct approval, even gusto, does not indicate the presence of the Messiah. But the kissing of the muddy ground while Air Bunda waves behind is a more telling piece of evidence.

What lurks behind the deleted posts? I have mixed thoughts on second thoughts, but then to each his own posts.

unpleasant memories of encounters with virgins, best left to sleep in oblivion. One thing for sure, I'll never understand my muslim friends' obsession with all things hymenal.
