    as an example, asking what a narc is, is in fact, a narcish thing to say. i can only reply by saying "Don't commit your hate crimes here, HATE CRIMES!"
    i hope that clears things up.

    hmmm....we've stumbled across something of a Turring philosophical problem here...

    Is Al actually saying anything? if indeed we agree with Paras that Al is simply presenting auto-generated code than the questions returns to us: are WE in fact saying anything either when there is always this concurent and ever present mediation- the code of the message board. the text of the code is always presented first, titles, frames, contextualizes our statements, submiting it to secondary status. if instead we agree with Taylor how is it that we recognize motivations and intents from the forms of our language- put another way, how is it that we know what others are trying to say?

    Albert sir, you are a TRUE artist.

    Actually, that's all auto-generated script. None of that is really Al's expression. If that text is Albert expressing himself, then this is me expressing myself to this stupid compiler:

    thanks y'all! I've had people sing for me and others gave me a teddy bear, and I didn't tell anyone much at all... except about the cake... mmm cake...

    uh, have to say something about the "narc" comment:
    what exactly do you mean by that? the snitch part or the narcotics officer part or the straight narcotics part of it? just askin' people used to think my dad was a narc (officer) and we're related to a narc (officer again) who looks like Serpico and used to work undercover... weird stuff

    i think I have to stop eating at Subway. I always feel ill aftewards... bastards! why can't they actually cook their chicken all the way through? grr!

    oh, and have y'all heard any music from Taj Mahal? if not, you must because he's awesome. I especially recommend A Little Soulful Tune, Fishin' Blues and Annie's Lover. I love Taj Mahal! It's total back porch music, it kicks ass.

    just to be a narc i think Albert is challenging "Freedom of Expression" and not "Freedom of Speech" since he's not really saying anything.

    make the anarchy spanarchy!
