Well, kudos to both of you for making ANY sense out of his bizarre ramblings. Sure, you can call me a mean ass-hat if ya want for pointing out the fact that I really just DON'T GET his communication style at all, but I really don't mean it in a mean spirited way. I have *tried* many times to read Sam's posts...especially when I see that his posts have received responses in the double digits. I think to myself, "Hmmm, he MUST be saying something important", so I try again. And nearly every time I find myself simply incapable of getting through the first few pseudo-sentences. Sometimes I find my mind just drifting off into whatever else is going on in my life and other times I find myself nearing what portends to be a headache; I guess it depends on how *hard* I try to make sense of him.

And Sam, maybe you communicate effectively in person and writing is just not your strong point, but IF that's the case I highly recommend that you either a-) keep your attempts at communication to the verbal only, or b-) take it upon yourself to learn how to use written words to more effectively convey your thoughts.

I keep reading that you, Sam, are lecturing us or trying to convert us to your way of thinking...yet I can't even get that far. You simply make so sense to me. And this isn't even about using the 'English language' as an effective means of communication as I've successfully understood folks from all over this rock who could barely string two complete English sentences together. This is different. I wish I could pinpoint what it was. I think it's something along the lines of a 'holier than thou' complex coupled with way too many ellipses and perhaps a poor cocktail of neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors. Just a guess.

"Though sometimes I like to robot dance to "she blinded me with science"."

If you listen to Where It's At by Mr. Beck, there is a part early in the song where a robut voice says, "I got two turn tables and a microphone." I always robot dance to that part, but ONLY that part. Because the rest of the song doesn't have robuts in it.

I have a Kraftwerk greatest hits album. That's almost more robot dancing than one man can stand. "We are the robots..."

And of course Kilroy is always a joy to robot to. But really, that always leads to kinky robot sex which is cool, but you only ever hear it at weddings so it usually ends up being kind of awkward.
