Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Dragonfly,Technically speaking, not a pleonasm.Onan spilled his seed (doncha love that word?) on the ground, but he wasn't wanking. He was getting it on with his old lady - he just didn't want her to get pregnant like he was told to do.He pulled out at the magic moment.How his name got mixed up with wanking is a long lonely story...Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 And yet it is a pleonasm, as the criterion is the current meaning and not the (incorrect) etymology. Onanism is not the same as coïtus interruptus. That reminds me of a joke that Freud tells in one of his books. When someone (a doctor, I think) asks a young boy whether he perhaps sometimes does certain things with himself (it's the Victorian era...), the answer is: O, na nie! (Oh no! Never! The German "Onanie" = onanism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Geez people, am I gonna have to post a link to a dictionary over here in the humor area? Why you all gotta use them $50 words, when you can use body language. Here is the last thing I posted over there before my account was mysteriously closed without my knowledge or consent. Well, if it weren't for the fine people over here, they wouldn't have anyone to bash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am starting to think that I am engaged to the most hated man in Objectivism.... but maybe Nathaniel Branden still holds the title. There sure is a lot of this name calling going on. Michael didn't even mention Reasoner's classic comedy bit on The AutonomistAnd there is his smug, truth-twisting fatness, the "saintly" Michael Stuart Kelly, giving his Buddhaliciously pompous approval as his fanatic, clinging remora of a girlfriend, katdaddy, supports her man automatically, viciously, and without question.andAnd of course, Michael "Saccharine" Kelly was already up, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, to post another one of his sociopathic, "How-on-earth-could-I-ever-be-anything-less-than-utterly-pure-and-holy", transparent posturing diatribes. Even on a good day, Nellie Olsen herself had nothing on him for sheer ruthlessness, shamelessness and a fanatical drive to love onesself so much that it overrides any desire to be honest or fair about your own corruption or misdeeds.And, predictably, his groupie had to chime in and "correct" my "misspelling". Sorry to disappoint you. I said "Buddhalicious", because that's what I meant: an overweight manipulator with a masklike smile and a saccharine, calculated demeanor of "kindliness"... which his fellow co-conspirators relentlessly publicize as "genuine", in order to enhance their group's delusionary-illusionary self-image.There would have been more of this but our friend got moderated.I guess my name list is a bit shorter... groupie, clinging remora, feminazi, communist, anti-semite, and some type of misguided pathetic creature longing for a kinder gentler captialism/objectivism. Well, one of those things is true. I do long for a kinder, gentler Objectvism and I think I have found it right here at Objectivist Living.(((( BIG GROUP HUG!!! )))btw - Michael, you really are the greatest and I agree with most everything you have ever said online. They are hating you for your virtues, not your flaws. They try to make you a strawman to knock down. It is the age of envy. What they are doing is anti-Rand and anti-reason. It is petty and pathetic. But it is their problem, not ours.Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen Stuttle Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am starting to think that I am engaged to the most hated man in Objectivism.... but maybe Nathaniel Branden still holds the title.Nathaniel still holds the title. ;-) Other contenders for second-place: the powers-that-be at TOC. And, a new (and surprising) contender [sound of trumpets]: none other than Phil Coates (who hasn't even read the Branden biography and memoirs and has persistently decried all the focusing on personality events from 40 years ago). But he's now been given a place on the list of Diana's targets.See:http://dianahsieh.com/cgi-bin/blog/comment...019981203333316See especially for a good laugh posts 16, 17, 18, 19There would have been more of this but our friend got moderated.Who's the friend who's posting there?

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 (This is from the another thread here on Humor.)I found a promo pic of Dizzy Vertigo of the world-famous "Dizzy and the Gang":They tell me he can sing the pants off ya'.MichaelEdit - Ellen, the poster was Orion Reasoner. He stopped posting shortly after those posts Kat mentioned, but not because of me. He crossed swords with Regi Firehammer, the site owner, and his thread was moved to "East of Eden." So he got ticked off and stopped posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Bissell Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 It's good to see that someone has finally captured the full...uh...multi-facted flavor of Diz Vertigo's personality(s). :-)Some little known facts: according to my cousin, Andy, Dizzy Vertigo and the Bashful Gang would have been a shoe-in for a Grammy award, except that the Diz-meister insisted on recording his CD of standards while under the influence, and the title song came out "Shay it isn't Show." In utter frustration, Diz retreated to his art studio for several weeks, preparing wine bottles for use in mixing paints, but he's feeling better now and is more passionate -- or is it bassionate? -- than ever!Cheers!REB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Ellen:See especially for a good laugh posts 16, 17, 18, 19Yes, at least one person with some common sense: Reminds me of similar posturing at another site, where a guy has been thumping his chest in a press release to visitors about how brave and principled he is declining an invitation to speak at TOC this summer because somebody he doesn't like will be there. It is indeed comical to see this chest thumping and all the congratulations from the other heroes for this courageous and principled action. That'll teach those evil TOC evaders! If that isn't kicking ass I don't know what is!Equally comical are those conversion stories: "I've been a sinner, but now I've read The Book and I've seen the Light! Hallelujah! Praise our valiant Prophet!". What a great contributions to the dissemination of Objectivism! Everybody will now immediately understand that this can only be the result of a rational philosophy.

Barbara Branden Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Guys and gals, I'm hurt! (sob) You are all ignoring me, and it's not fair. Don't you understand that I have feelings, too? I'm not receiving my due. Michael and Kat and Phil, and even the monumentally immoral Nathaniel, are pikers of evil compared to me. Who else has been told that Passion must be destroyed, and that she is toast, finished, done!Please treat me with the respect due to the foremost purveyer of irrationality.Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Coates Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Dammit, Barbara, there are only thee crosses at a time up on Mount Calvary and Michael and Kat are sharing one in the lapsed missionary position - as soon as decomposition sets in and one of them is free, you'll be up there...

Roger Bissell Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Personally, I think you guys should be grateful that no one has threatened to throw you in my "conceptual acid tank." (Thank Michael Second-Year Molar for that one.) You guys pervert ideas, but I wipe them out entirely. Mmmmmmwaaaahaaaahaaaa!My next project: The Anti-Objectivist Center, featuring lectures on Basic Principles of Anti-Objectivism and my forthcoming book, Nazi Germany and Contemporary America: the Thrilling Parallels.Remember: A is A...in a sense. Existence exists...yeah, right. Life is an end in itself...a dead end. Wishing will make it so.REB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Engle Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Oh, that was so wrong on so many levels, Michael. I couldn't have done better work myself. But don't many Queens have little lapdogs when they sit at the throne?Alright, that's it. It's gotta stop, and it's gotta stop now. Already, I feel the breath of the beast on the back of my neck.rdeMommy, why does Santa Claus have dirty fingernailsand smells like whiskey?
