Perhaps her first post?

Which doesn't make it any less subversive and barely any less thrilling:

I know why she left, because I suffer from the same syndrome.

"Oh - For the love of the undead!"

Yeah, actually, I think that was the post that first alerted me to the existence of The Zombieatles. Thanks C2W?! :yay

From the "Pentagon 'UFO hacker' faces 60 years if extradited" thread:

compared2what? wrote:
There's nothing like the smell of crushed individual liberty in the morning.

Your enjoyment of it is pretty pungent, too, though. I would say that it mells a little like Good German. But it's so much more subtle and so much less of a practical choice that it's not really a fair comparison.

Whatever the case, it's always worth remembering that a light touch goes a long way when it comes to personal scent. In case your mother never taught you that.


AND

compared2what? wrote:
Crassness can be hot in a private context, or an effective way to make a forceful point in a public context, or simply the only emotionally honest response possible in any number of contexts. And at its most uncalled for, it can't be any worse than offensive.

Dumbfuck stupidity, on the other hand, is something to be pitied but also something to be feared. Because it's a potentially serious danger both to the stupid dumbfuck and to others.

Same goes double for taking pleasure in the pain of others on a recreational basis. That's a sport exclusively played by the very weak, who are even more to be pitied and exponentially more to be feared than stupid dumbfucks are.

Because you think if you show that you think better than most you'll make yourself a target?

I've thought about that.. no danger in my case but, well, watch yourselves

If anyone has links to C2W on other boards, we all know she's been arond a bit, or even possible replicants and imposters, I'd be happy to read..

I might even post a few tunes and funny pictures

I've recently realized that pearl of wisdom. The hard way, unfortunately. What will be, will be.

Thank you for you, C2W.
