Rule for this thread.

Post Reply New Topic

In compliance with the UFO requirement I must express my lack of enthusiasm for Unbounded Foolish Optimism (UFO) and applaud general social quailing (GSQ) at the current world situation.

My rule is: The next post shall be absolutely fascinating and written as a limerick.

Well, I've waited ten minutes and no response so here goes:

This rule is exceedingly odd,
But I'll give it my positive nod.
Do what ever would make
This thread more awake.
Thus be it, yours truly, God.

A haiku is nicer
than three flowers of lotus
keep this in mind, please

New Rule: There are no rules.

Clairvoyant Claire clambers clamant clams clamouring clansmen.

New rule: Make a statement that significantly changes its meaning by moving one comma.

Crap. I threw everything off and someone replied before I could remove it. My only defense is insomnia and not being awake.

While eating, my dog Pepper is begging me for bites.

New Rule: Forgive Claire for her sleepless ways.

It wasn't your fault, Claire. Sand just ignored your rule. You have done nothing that requires forgiveness.

New rule: Make a convincing argument (*not* a parody or a strawman) for a position with which you strongly disagree.

Orwell has valuable qualities. He seems like an intelligent person. He seems willing to help others. He is studying a field that is probably useful. We've all seen these things as well. Therefore, based upon that evidence, the conclusion that "Orwell has valuable qualities" is equally valid to other notions.

Next rule: Make fun of Orwell, and use the following words/phrases in the matter: "banana", "fried chicken", and "Death Star"

Yes. It is all my fault. I claim full responsibility. I had posted this:

Sand comes at a strange time,
Requesting limerick rhymes,
When thread derailers have gone off to bed.
Ignoring debate rules,
He uses tiny mouse tools,
To restore order to the parakeet's thread.

Now, in my sleep deprived state, I then noticed this was not the proper format for a limerick and tried to fix it to be a limerick, but once I hit submit I noticed Tallyman had already replied to my new rule of posting a tongue twister. So, I deleted it again and went to have a smoke to wake up a little more before posting my response to Tallyman and submitting a new rule.

New Rule: Someone fix this mess.

New permission, if the previous poster's rule is stinky, the following poster may alter the rule, or may reinterpret it as much as Judges in the USA reinterpret the Constitution.

Still on Orwell's rule, whether to follow or to reinterpret...

Orwell is a big banana head who should be diced up and battered like fried chicken, and sent to spend eternity on a death star for trying to derail this thread again.

New Rule: Pay praises to the parakeet for such crafty permissions and thread creations.

Well, first, I would like to say that Orwell is as ugly as the death star, as dumb as a banana, and has as many flaws as a bucket of fried chicken has grams of fat.

Secondly, the grand court of AG sets as a precedent, that Orwell's rule is in fact valid, non-stinky, and sets this as precedent on the basis of future decisions. This is done on the basis that Orwell's rule is merely descended from previous rulings that were accepted as valid, and as well, given that Orwell's rule does not violate any sense of justice. All future courts will either have to deny the foundations of this system, and our common law system, in order to rebut this.

Thirdly, given that this thread has already passed out of the hands of the OP, altering it after the fact is a violation of jurisdiction, for the thread now is under the jurisdiction of all of WP. The OP's new permission is false, and must be regarded as false by thinking individuals, for there is no ability to change the social contract of the original post after it has been advanced.

My rule: Continue debating matters on the derailment of the thread. Even if this involves debating the Supreme Court.

edit: too slow on my part

For your truly genious new thread implementations, a life-time supply of crackers!

EDIT: Blast, crosspost.
