Gary Floyd Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Remember "Tron Guy"? Well, the good news is, he finally found someone. The bad news is that this is who he found:
EL BRUJ0 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 ^OMG WITTGENSTEIN PRIVATE LANGUAGE ARGUMENT~! yeah, i don't think there's a single philosopher of aesthetics who would agree with the "no audience" statement. if art can be an entirely private experience, done only for its creator's benefit, then you could consider things like diary entries, taking drugs, and my cat cleaning itself as "arts." Wait, what about Wittengstein's private language argument? Do you believe it's possible for such a thing (a private language) to exist?
Nighthawk Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 I'll also note that years ago I sniffed glue and posted about it on the internet, and in the thread identified myself as an artist. And also cut "this is art" into my chest. As chaotic as my mind sometimes feels, I am pleased to discover how remarkably consistent I am.
godthedog Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 that was directed towards byron, whose objection to milky was basically that art needs to be possible as a form of communication, with mutual understanding of intentions and whatnot, in order for it to actually be art. it's more or less the same point that wittgenstein says about language, i.e., that the concept of a "private language" doesn't make sense.

I agree with Ludwig. Scott McCloud had an interesting definition of art that I once agreed with: "Art, as I see it, is any human activity which doesn't grow out of either of our species' two basic instincts: survival and reproduction." I don't feel that way about it anymore though...

CanadianGuitarist Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 A porn link in my email just now featured a write-up: "Remember when we discussed brutal sex and rape?" This screams of Czech name.

treble Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 I think I met the most stereotypical 'dumb Americans' today at work. I work at the local harbour, and a boatfull of them came in to go to dinner and while one of them went in to check in with customs, the rest of them (well, the older ones, I think they had their kids with them) seemed to be in awe of the fact that they were actually in another country. The one guy asked me if they had to 'parlay frawn-say' and when I shook my head, his wife chimed in, 'Oh yeah, that's just down in Montreal, right?' The other woman was amazed that I sounded different than they did, while the girl I was working with didn't, and she kept pointing at me and yelling that I had some sort of an accent. Oh, and they also demanded that we show them how polite Canadians are, however you do that. Some guy today asked me what we call quarters in Canada.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 Well, you guys have the metric system up there, right?
Copper Feel Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 This really weird hip-hop song that's probably called 'All These Hoes' or something like that has suddenly started playing on my PC for no detectable reason. It stopped before I could finish typing this post. Strange.
Ketamine Disaster Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 My friend called me at 12:45 this afternoon to ask if I wanted to come have a Bellini with him and play some video games. When I informed him that it was barely past noon, he registered genuine surprise.
Maztinho Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 I chose my current avatar because I dug the white man fro, but after linking it to my cousin she thought I'd grown my hair out, and the guy kinda does look like me, sorta. Except that my hair is stick straight, no curls at all. Peculiar.
BX Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 Here's a chicken-egg question for ya. Which came first, the term "doobie" or the Doobie Brothers? Or Scooby Doobie Doo?
Kinetic Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 The Doobie Brothers (Jimmy and Johnny Doobie) were originally imagined as a vaguely countercultural answer to the Everly Brothers, as evidenced by their celebrated 1967 marijuana paean "Unchained Doobie." They eventually settled into a permanent MOR funk and were eventually fronted by "Stuff That No People Like" mainstay Michael McDonald. Some version of the band can be seen at a state fair near you to this very day. So I guess that the doobie came before the egg. I don't know where Scooby fits into all of this.
At Home Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 First airing of Scooby Doo was in 1969, so it couldn't have come before that.
CanadianGuitarist Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 The "Fuckin Wisconsin" thread reminded me of an awesome Paint pic from here a few months ago. Like a TSM demographic. Can anyone find that? I thought it was from the poster tourney, but I perused it earlier to no avail.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 How the fuck did I end up in "Liberals"?
Slayer Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Canada should get replaced with "Here Be Dragons"
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I laughed: JERUSALEM — Doctors say a premature baby girl who survived six hours in a hospital morgue refrigerator after being declared stillborn has died despite efforts to save her. The baby had been delivered in the 23rd week of pregnancy at a weight of just one pound, five ounces and was initially declared dead and placed in the morgue. When the parents came to collect the tiny body for burial on Monday they found the baby breathing and showing a faint heartbeat and she was rushed to the intensive care unit. Hospital deputy director Moshe Daniel said the child died early Tuesday. He told Army Radio the specific cause of death would only be known after a post-mortem examination.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 How the fuck did I end up in "Liberals"? The same way I apparently ended up in Judd Apatow fluffers.
The Niggardly King Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Once again, I don't wanna be fluffin' a Judd Apatow
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 I think you're actually more in Chocolate Socket than you are in Judd Apatow fluffers. EDIT: I propose making a new TSMerica. It's time for a Change.
