@Lightwizard,
Quote:Well, especially if I have eight people over for dinner
The more people you have for dinner the more likely it is that the average IQ around the table approaches 100. One only need think of the whole nation coming to dinner. When they are carefully selected by the host they will function as a mirror of his own conceits. And the larger the number the more thinly he spreads himself.
I never invite anyone to dinner. I find watching people put their laughing tackle around a fork with nutrient impaled upon it, masticating it with their pulverisers, after tearing it with the nippers, and swallowing it down the oesophagus into the stomach from whence, by a series of peristaltic reflexes in the alimentary canals, the vestiges are deposited in the dunny convenience to be distributed around the fields in the immediate vicinity, for recirculation, in the company of a few sheets of scented arsewipes printed with floral designs extracted from one of those Jumbo packs often to be seen on shopping trollies in the up-market malls , to be a somewhat distressing prospect bearing in mind my scientific temperment and unfortunate penchant for critical analysis.
It is even more distressing when this unsightly activity is accompanied by speech patterns which extoll the virtues of critical analysis selectively restricted to those aspects of life which are acceptable as suitable subjects for such analysis in the particular social milieux appertaining at the time such as methods of controlling others who are not present to the satisfaction of the company which is present.
When such confused crosstalk ranges over slimming, weightwatching, the plight of the poor and oppressed, the symbiotic qualities of the fine wines, the education of the upcoming generations and economic strategies for the salvation of the nation, its distressinging nature is reinforced by its ridiculousness.
