You don't want America to develop time machines?

Re: The rancid relationship (4.00 / 3)

Do you mean those machines that will always loop back to the beginning of Bush's first term, giving him each time another go at not screwing up the world?

Re: The rancid relationship (4.00 / 3)

Y'know, I think we have already. It really feels like 1988 here.

Re: The rancid relationship (none / 1)

I almost said that but figured there was no need to sully a great piece of literature by having it confused with memories of the Reagan/Bush era.

It's funny, I remember you saying that already. It's begun. We're screwed.

Re: 1984 n/t (4.00 / 3)

Now what does that "n/t" stand for by the way, I've seen it used all over the place and have no clue.

Will iron clothes for this info.

Re: 1984 (4.00 / 2)

It means no text. It's for people who are only seeing the subject lines. Now about that ironing!!!!

Re: 1984 (4.00 / 2)

Well since we've been looping for eons, you'll know by now that I'll find some excuse not to do it, you'll protest, and it'll all end in an ugly stand-off with no clothes ironed in the end. So let's just break the cycle now while we can, what do you say?

Re: 1984 (4.00 / 2)

Nice try. The way I remember that it's gonna happen is that you not only get all my ironing done, but my sewing as well. No use trying to change the future past, Alex.

Re: 1984 (4.00 / 2)

Ah yes, I remember now. But that was another me from the future past, it wasn't the me from now, I think.

Re: 1984 (none / 0)

Dammit, do you people always want me to go for the easy line? Where's the nuance anymore?

Re: 1984 (4.00 / 3)

We don't do nuance.
