I have a better idea! A tab of acid and a trip to the Toronto Zoo. Big Cat Exhibit.
OK, maybe not better, but definitely funnier.

"Weird" is to embrace anything that deviates from the mainstream, Dr. Pig, whether it be fantastic lies or fantastic truths.
Our society doesn't want to believe that snow leopards are execrable creatures. Moreover, they refuse to believe that this truth has been hidden by the actors of a grand conspiracy.
I present the facts objectively as they come along, tearing down the mental barriers, forcing people to question their longstanding beliefs. The process is painful. The facts don't seem to fit at first, and I can understand why they would seem "weird".

It derives from the same word. But it pertains more to being than doing.

Well, there is "good" weird and "bad" weird. You're a "good" weird.

Speaking of gateway, I want some of whatever Virgil is having on his toast this morning. If I get that wound up, I might swim better.  |

If you still don't believe me, here's another inexorable bit of truth. A rare slip by the pro-lep establishment from six days ago when they didn't catch an Afghan editor going rogue and running a story about snow leopards slaughtering 282 men, women and children in Badakhstan province in one night. I suggest you download the image, because they won't let it stay up for long. The headline reads: "Spotted Shaitan ( devil-like beings) Slaughter Many More Innocents in Badakhstan; How Long Will We Stay Silent?"  |

Yanno, on the one hand, you gotta give Virgil credit for being this creative this early in the morning. From making up countries to instilling real fear over cute little spotted kitties, he's good. On the other hand, I think the brew in his Chock Full o' Nuts canister, is, well, a bit suspect.  |

Badakhstan province in Afghanistan is a real place, Ms. Nancy. The only thing "made up" is the widespread delusion that the uncia are "cute little spotted kitties". An Afghan editor puts his life on the line to show you people the truth, and still it's "cute little spotted kitties". Will it take your own friends and family felled by the jaws of a snow leopard to make you believe?  |

Alicia was my friend. A fellow engineer. They claimed her mind.  Isn't that enough? |

One of these days, I am heading to Toronto to visit family (my American cousin married a gal from Toronto, and for some inexplicable reason, they live on the wrong side of the border.  ). When I get there, I will find the asylum Virgil has checked into. Just to make sure he is well-treated and has a nice room, with the wall padding regularly changed.  |

You say that in jest, but institutionalizing uncian detractors is one of the key ways in which the establishment keeps truthbearers under their thumb. If ever I'm locked up, it will be because I'm a political prisoner and not because I'm mentally unstable.
Well... 'friend' in the sense that she considered me to be a quirky pest.
But she was still a fellow engineer. There's an unspoken bond there.

The jury will never believe it. All we have to do is testify that you posted here. Proof enough of mental instability, even in Canada. ;D

I believe the take over of the Pacific Northwest starts this Saturday. For those of you in the Seattle area, Saturday, Aug 13, is Snow Leopard Day at Woodland Park Zoo...

You wouldn't do that. I'd come out of that place and I wouldn't be Virgil anymore. Just a lobotomized shell.
You'd joke, "Snow leopards are so cool, aren't they, Virgil?"
I'd turn to face you. You'd see vacuous eyes and a faint smile. Then I'd reply, "Yes."
And you'd smile back. Laugh a bit, maybe, to ease the tension. But inside your guts would be roiling. You would know that something precious had been lost.
More proof of an institutionalized pro-lep propaganda campaign.
It's right there in front of you, people. I guarantee you there isn't going to be an 'Elephant Day' or a 'Hippopotamus Day'. None of you will ask why. Nobody except those of us who know will ever ask why.

Well, your mind, certainly. But then again, I'm thinking that ship sailed outta port ages ago anyway, moved into international waters and headed for the floor show in the lounge, so to speak.  |

You know what's really bad, cats? Virgil isn't trying to be funny. He thinks he's really serious.  . Don't spoil it for him, mmmmm'K? |

Cats' "funny" clearly refers to my faith in EE'ers open-mindedness. So far it's been like teaching quantum mechanics to a parrot.  "Snow. Leopards. Are. Monstrous." " *Rrraaaaaaawk* Leopards are cute little kitties. Cute little spotted kitties. *Rraaawk!* *Whistle*" |
