No, you dim dingbat, Marxism is about scrambling eggs, and we have that on the authority of V. I. Ulyanov himself. Since you're likely to know even less Russian than you know about anything else, scrambling eggs is Russian vernacular for breaking balls. Come back when you've googled Vladimir Iliych.

PS you should probably look up "vernacular" too, so that you don't make an even bigger fool of yourself.

I don't think that John is a fool so much as someone that feels left behind by time. He is trying to be modern by being one of the crowd. And since he and Frank make up most of "the crowd" he is in deep **** and doesn't even know it.

"reared it's ugly head"? D'you mind leaving off the cliches, Slow Johnny? They hurt my feelings, and when my feelings are hurt I react unpredictably.

Nah, if I expose something about you, for instance that you're a transvestite, I'll make it stick; that was why I was paid seven-figure sums in advertising.

You're just a number, man, way down the list of numbers; there's nothing exceptional about you to distinguish you from the other cocky little men who tried to take out their resentments on those brighter than they are. Go look up Henry Pasternak, who thought I looked like easy meat: twenty years after I put him down and he ran, he still whines from behind a firewall that I labelled him, forever, Pompass Plodnick; this is a man who used to brag he had a master's degree from Stanford. You're out of your league, little man. You should run immediately, because from now on, every time I notice you, I'm going to kick you like a little dog yapping around my ankles.

(Nope, the answer isn't fame at last, it is a drip-drip of pain dissolving your marrow.) As I said, the day after you break, I won't even remember your name -- nothing personal, just business, my business, which is magnanimously showing a wannabe, you, how it is done by someone competent, me, for which I expect gratitude. Like my granny said, noblesse oblige imposes obligations and if the peasants aren't appropriately grateful, you didn't kick them hard enough.

Tell me something, shortass. Do you believe suffering from Duck's Disease automatically means you have to be stupid and reckless as well? The question arises because you appear to be both, and it is foolish beyond belief for a nobody like you to put himself into the face of a professional polemicist, what's more on the internet, a wordsmith's dream medium.

His eighty-year old buddy turned to John:

'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'
'Do I know her?
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
'I don't know.'
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
'Because she can still drive!'

This is the guy commenting on a bicycle group.


Nice one Tommy... except that I've been married to the same woman
since 1971.

Can you say the same?

You should specify in which regard, Radey, or trim the post sequence
so we know what you're responding to. As it is, we can easily mistake
your response as a desire to be an odious bully, just like Slow Johnny
Shortass. Given the nasty air on RBT, where every casual utterance is
given the worst possible interpretation by the resident scum,
including by the outright liar John B. Slocombe, you can't count on
anyone's goodwill or even Occam's Razor.


In which regard? In being a congenial poster, for one.

I've always pictured Hell as an overcrowded place, like the pavements of Calcutta or San Francisco, which, considering the infinity of eternity, is a worse punishment than being alone in an overheated room. Not to kibbutz, but following the logic, Hell must therefore have fewer rooms than Heaven.

Agreed. It's simple geometry.

Hell is generally considered to be below ground, somewhere near the
center of the planet as in Dante's Inferno:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)
Heaven is located somewhere above the clouds, as indicated by numerous
illustrations showing the gods walking around on clouds. On a sphere,
the available surface area increases with the cube of the altitude or
depth. Therefore, there is far more available space above the clouds
as there might be in some manner of a hollow earth hell.

Hell would also have some problem meeting modern building code
standards. If hell were built in the cavernous manner found in many
illustrations, we would be dealing with a large number of sink holes,
foundation failures, and possibly draining the oceans through the
entry portals:
https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=hell
If hell were excavated, there's also the question of where are the
spoil piles?

I'm not sure of the exact size of the soul, but if it's proportional
to the common inflated ego, there's likely to be insufficient
underground space to construct a suitable hell. Since heaven has more
space and is lacking in financial experts, most of which seem to end
up in hell, it would be profitable to lease some of the extra space
found in heaven, to deal with the overcrowding in hell.

alone in an overheated room. Not to kibbutz, but following
the logic, Hell must therefore have fewer rooms than Heaven.

Agreed. It's simple geometry.

Hell is generally considered to be below ground, somewhere near the
center of the planet as in Dante's Inferno:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)
Heaven is located somewhere above the clouds, as indicated by numerous
illustrations showing the gods walking around on clouds. On a sphere,
the available surface area increases with the cube of the altitude or
depth. Therefore, there is far more available space above the clouds
as there might be in some manner of a hollow earth hell.


I beg to differ: The area of a sphere is 4 pi r^2.

Hell would also have some problem meeting modern building code
standards. If hell were built in the cavernous manner found in many
illustrations, we would be dealing with a large number of sink holes,
foundation failures, and possibly draining the oceans through the
entry portals:

If hell were excavated, there's also the question of where are the
spoil piles?

I'm not sure of the exact size of the soul, but if it's proportional
to the common inflated ego, there's likely to be insufficient
underground space to construct a suitable hell. Since heaven has more
space and is lacking in financial experts, most of which seem to end
up in hell, it would be profitable to lease some of the extra space
found in heaven, to deal with the overcrowding in hell.

I was relying on John 14:2 which reads, from memory, "In my father's house are many mansions," with "mansion" being translated in modern vernacular versions as "rooms", rather than on geometry but, as you say, the result is the same. The "rational" tagline was a red herring but turns out spot on.

Hell would also have some problem meeting modern building code
standards. If hell were built in the cavernous manner found in many

Those images of hell you posted a link to makes me wonder if Hell hasn't been moved on to an undisclosed location by Health & Safety.

That it hasn't happened yet proves only that people too smart for their own good usually end up in the hot place.

Thanks for the giggle, Jeff.

Calvinist. My place is reserved. But, just in case, I'm also chummy with the Papal Nuncio, the Archbishop, the Chief Rabbi, and an imam my halal butcher knows.

Not sure how to interpret this. Does it mean the rooms in heaven are really, really bad? Or the rooms in hell are really, really good? And your statement implies an exact 50/50 split between heaven and hell. 1 out of 2 are going to burn in hell. And the other half are going to be happy in heaven. Based on my observations over the years, I can believe the amount going to hell. But 50% gong to heaven seems too optimistic.
