Considerations on Darfur: Is it Genocide?
Again, link up if you haven’t already.
Guest posters always welcome.
Don’t all raise your hands at once though.
Just for fun and a breather.
Break out of the mold
before the mold sets in
Dangerous walls are closin’ in
They twist the truth
Then give it a spin
Love’s a grenade,
i’ll pull the pin
Alice, of Wonderland or not fame has been called many things:
Brilliant by the great Pia Savage.
Both implicitly and explicitly brilliant by the Dog who is Waking Ambrose. ( among other things )
Bad things by the naked gymnast Pansi.
Chica: by the Metrosexual Mennonite.
Hot, artsy, fartsy, frigid, intellectual chick — by friends who weren’t really her friends.
Smarter and more self respecting than most people her age — by almost everyone in the whole free world — and indeed she is so of course you alll wonder what Alice does in her free time.
Bad influence
Bad such a bad influence
You think i’m bad
You think i’m bad
Well i’m the most fun
that you ever had
Alice, in her free time, carries on deep intellectual aim conversations with other extremely self respecting, artsy, fartsy, frigid, hot ‚intellectual types For instance:
EsotericWombat: hmm… I hunger… probably has something to do with the fact that I’ve yet to eat
wonderlandornot: go eat sweet thing
wonderlandornot: eating sounds good as a matter of fact.
EsotericWombat: time to masticate and summarily digest plant and animal tissue?
wonderlandornot: oh you had to use that word masitcate didn’t you
EsotericWombat: I haven’t used it in a while
EsotericWombat: and anyways that word isn’t even vaguely naughty unless you say it out loud
wonderlandornot: please wombatty don’t let me stop you from masticating
EsotericWombat: and how do you know that I’m not right now?
wonderlandornot: you wouldn’t masticate while aiming with me
wonderlandornot: would you?
EsotericWombat: oh wow I didn’t even see that
EsotericWombat: umm…
EsotericWombat: *sputter*
EsotericWombat: I bet this is what a computer feels like when it gets hit with a 404 error
wonderlandornot: ah
wonderlandornot: well tell me then
wonderlandornot: are you masticating?
EsotericWombat: at the moment, no.
wonderlandornot: you will tell me when you begin..right?
EsotericWombat: but it is entirely possible for me to not wish to lose the time in your presence while CHEWING FOOD
wonderlandornot: ok i’ll stop now before i really freak you out
wonderlandornot: lol
The names would have been changed to protect the innocent, but frankly I forgot.
Wide mouths
with narrow minds
Narrow minds,
creak and grind
Rally to a peaceful sound
Let the barriers tumble down
My bad my bad influence

Mastication sounds so close to masturbation.
Just couldn’t resist pointing out the obvious.
Frigid…in what sense of the word is that applicable?
Haven’t I called you anything yet?
You are what we want to see when we look in the mirror.
Thank god for my newsreader. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss a post on mastication.
You are truly wicked , and I love it.
The innocent? How sweet of you. I haven’t really called you anything too notable, huh. Wait… no, the first one was from me, huh? Or is it just a coincidence that you said that… In any case I’ll be sure to think of something else.
Cowgirl: it would have been more obvious were it not for what got left on the cutting room floor. Maybe it didn’t clear the content standards for wonderlandornot inc. Anyways, the punchline as it were came when I said, “I’m not freaked out I just didn’t see it coming”
Does this have something to do with no pants day?
If you ever put an aim that I have had with you online, now I mean the ones from high school don’t count, I will
bake you in the sun.….….…..in a stone pit.….….….….in Italy.….….….….….you are a vampire right?
That was a chuckle or two.
Cooper.….….never leave out the punchline.
Love your conversation with EW… LMAO… :)
You’re a funny girl.
Too smart for you own good at times .I am guessing.
Looking at your posts on Darfur and Duke it almost seem like you’re humorless.
I was LMAO too. Was that a real conversation?
I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Wombatty? Masticatty?
This is a truly incredible post. Yes Alice you are brilliant
Masticating is a good thing… the actual act as well as what it hints at… very good indeed.
I believe I called you a list of things when I first commented. But it was my way of saying I liked… I liked a lot!
I think you know that.
Frigid? Send ‘em over to me. I’ll tell ‘em what they can suck on.
Mastication is perfectly natural. Especially at Wombat’s age.
Nice read for my morning econ study break.
No fear people masticate all the time.
I do it while I STUDY.
I just figured out how to get my url on here with this sign up required situation.
cowgirl: not applicable of course but I have written it and explained it before it’s just something they used to call me. yea I think it was pretty obvious.
indie: you mean the looking glass? I’m sure you have called me something, almost everybody has, I just took the latest because I was on a time limit.
bizman: not wicked at all and humm a news reader.….…. guess I’m coming up in the world if mastication aims are news.
Wombat: hum don’t know.…pfffft cutting room floor…pfffttttt. If you would get more sleep you would have easily seen it coming.
Robotman: Nothing to do with no pants day, you can
Masticate with your pants on.
Shayna: hey busy girl.
Tifi: “You’re a funny girl.” Yes I am. And yes it was.
Pia: Well I’m half brilliant with wombat being the other half but I claimed publishing rights to the aim immediately post conversation when I realized it’s entertainment value.
Yes wombat is quite masticatty I hear.
Mizzy B: I don’t know………I hear people in the US masticate way too much for their own good.
Doug: Don’t even try to tell me you don’t masticate at your age.
Jake: I was pretty sure you masticated quite frequently so no surprise there and doing while studying is common I hear.
Keep on keeping on, be everything they say you are and more!
Remember this, when masticating in public, bring wetnaps.
Alright…I can comment again…stupid $%#^ing ICT ;)
Hmmm…reckless use of mastication references…love it.
Lol…I just knew you’d work that Metro Mennonite in there somewhere :P
I also concede to your brilliance.
I suggest that you are more than a provocateur in the thought genre of social responsibility and political opinion. I suggest that by using these very words
you provoked a response which otherwise would have been totally different.
You are a provocateur of another kind.. Good going.
Funny too.
On second thought the provoking line was ” wonderlandornot: you wouldn’t masticate while aiming with me ”
I think I would have been provked by the first but it seems that the Esoteric Wombat took a little longer.
Haha, Alice. I won’t, but no telling how much longer.
First question: Darfur? Tens of thousands killed based on tribal
identity is genocide. Oxford English Dictionary agrees with me.
And that book is old and heavy.
Second, frigid? That’s cold. I mean… Well, you know.
joeg: Well cases such as these, taking longer is a good thing
…
…
You know, like waiting for the better line to react to? =P
Cupie: Always.…for both.
jason: reckless use of language it what I live for.
Glad you made it I figured you were one of the ones who said F this crap I’m not signing up to post a comment on this damn piece of crap.
Metro Mennonite is an awesome term and I think we should make if your official nickname or maybe your nom de plume.
joeg: Love concessions but yea we’ve been the provocateur route before eh? It is always the case that people see me as the provocateur when in reality.…well lets’ just say I know the reality.….….….……
Daawg: Well fifty more years is not exactly ” not that much longer”.
Dan: I have no doubt that genocide semantically is occurring and we need to intervene the question is how we best put a stop to it. If you really look at the history of the Sudan there are many questions that bear asking prior to deciding how to go about ending this. We must provide humanitarian aid much more, we maybe should send in mercenaries. I seriously sometimes feel this way. In the end the Sudan is going to have to decide to take control here and end this madness. We are obviously not going to take over the country. Historically.….….it is complicated, political pressure from the world powers and from other African nations which — face it have their own significant problems– needs to be heavy and quite consequential in order for this to happen.
Oh yeah it’s cold alright.
Wombat: No wombat it was the lethargy that comes with little sleep that prevented you from seeing the obvious…or so you pretend.……
Well, I hope you’re happy. You put me through three days of not being able to comment until I finally had to relent and register.
You took away my last freedom of being able to comment willy-nilly anonymously.
I feel like Big Sister is watching me already.
Oh, and I cast my vote for the brilliant side.
I have read you enough to know you would be one of the last hold outs.
I notice at your site, mojo, that I have to not only sign in using my old blogger name to which the password, at times, eludes me , but that I have to go through a random word verification which I usually get wrong and have to repeat. I will never get back that fifteen seconds. quid pro quo I’d go on but I had took an early drive to Maryland from NY and I have to go back to bed. ;)
I woud of bin shocked by this if I dint no you all ready!!!!!!
FYI Mrs. Weirsdo says mastickation can lead to perristallsis!!!!!
PANSI
The only reason you have to lose that fifteen seconds is because I was besieged by a rather nasty bugger a few months back. Doesn’t everybody know that the only person allowed to be negative at my site is me? If you’re going to try and rain on my parade then at least have something better to say than “yo momma” putdowns.
Anyway, you could always just leave a Haloscan comment, but then I’d have access to your social security number, address, telephone number, and bra size, Miss Cooper.
[…] A great big thank you goes out to Patrick and Cowgirl for keeping the bed-ridden Shayna entertained with instant messaging. Although our conversation could never top Mastication. I have been so bored and I am about to go nuts being cooped up in my bedroom. No sex, no toys, no NOTHING… except my laptop and my TV… GEE WILLIKERS… I’m going insane!!!! […]
