Fear of Modernity and Technology Is Fueling a Return to Medievalism

I feel so alone...

Stand strong Siege!

I am still waiting for the israeli elections thread, but nobody here cares.

Whatever, Languish.

It was being discussed in the "Bibipalooza" thread.

I don't understand that word, Bibipalooza.
Oh, I get it. Something about Bibi.

It comes from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lollapalooza

Anyway it seems voting is just one stage of an Isreali election. Have they decided on the ruling coalition yet?

[Razgovory]

That makes sense.  It's derived from the word, "Lollapalooza".  It means something big or grand.  During WWII it was used as shibboleth to identify enemy soldiers and agents.  Since it confuses Siege, it seems to still work in that capacity.

At the risk of taking the troll seriously, I'll link to the wiki page listing the members of the Pigou Club (supporters of a shift to carbon taxation):  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigou_Club

I was surprised to see Ray Magliozzi on that list, as a "pundit".

Apparently this winter has been the hottest on record, ever.

The only place that experienced colder temperatures than average was the Eastern parts of the US.

Northeastern.  I believe it was warmer here than usual.

I would make Ide my serf.

[Ideologue]

Charlie don't serf.

[Ed Anger]

I would feed you 1000 calories a day.

[Ideologue]

That's like five cookies.  PASS.

[Ed Anger]

Don't make me burn your hovel, peasant.

[Ideologue]

I own a weapon.  Well, by the time you got here and managed to get up the front steps, I could own a weapon.

I am a kentucky colonel. My men will be doing my work.
