The “Oliver Willis gets into a battle of wits with a roll of electrical tape and doesn’t really acquit himself all that well” post

Willis: “Fine, so maybe I can’t actually prove that Resident McChimpychimpy is working to remake the United States into theocracy lorded over by evangelical Christians bent on bringing about end times.  But that doesn’t mean the idea is completely untrue.”

Electrical tape roll

Willis:  “I mean, it’s possible, isn’t it?”

Electrical tape roll:

Willis:  “Because he loves Jesus so much?”

Electrical tape roll:

Willis:

Electrical tape roll:

Willis:  “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!”

    Let’s face it:  His Rotundity (“like cellulite to fitness”) is spending more and more time talking to himself, and he still can’t acquit himself all that well.

    Only slightly OT:  Just how did George Soros manage to become a bazillionaire?  Throwing good money after bad for years on end usually isn’t a winning investment strategy.

    Turing word “ways.” In the context of OW, I’m guessing that’s a pun.

  2. Electrical tape is black!

    You, you, you. . .racist!

    Well, to continue the “Elephant Man” thought, he’s not much of a human being either…

  4. cthulhu says:

    Jeff’s conversations with inanimate objects more productive. I guess it’s just a sign of a superior blogger.

    Still trying to fight beyond his class, I see. Poor Blobby.

  6. What is this “turing word” thing you all keep doing? The anti-spam word? Why do you keep mentioning it?

    ummmm, we’re talking about Baghdad Blob right? he’s more human being than i’ll ever be….. hopefully.

    Bill from INDC – A Turing machine was one that pretended to be human, you’d ask it various questions (a Turing test) to see what it actually was. So the anti-spam word is a crude Turing test.

    People mention it because it sometimes seems strangely apropo to the coversation at hand.

  9. Daniel says:

    It’s just a quirky, PW thang.

    Our paranoid theory is that Jeff has found a way to load the turing word selector thingy (term of art) with just enough subject-specific words to mess with us, but not enough to tip his hand. Jeff likes to keep people off balance. Ask us about Judd Nelson.

  11. I haven’t yet caught him putting Stanley Caldwell in the word buffer.

  12. Our paranoid theory is

    Yes.

    Yo pinhead – electrical tape comes in many colors other than black. Looking into my toolbag I see rolls of yellow, red, green, blue, orange, and black. There’s also non-stick for wrapping splices, super flexible self vulcanizing for splice underlayment, PVC, fiberglass, hi-temp, and a bunch of other types I’m too tired to remember at the moment.

    A turing machine is not a machine that pretends to be human.  A turing machine is simply a machine that describes the theoretical behavior of computers.

    I believe you are referring to the “turing test,” which is a test in which a computer is supposed to give responses to a human being such that passing such a test means that the computer has fooled the human into believing that the machine is a human.

    In this context, the test separates computer commenters from human commenters.

    No computer has passed that test yet.

    turing test, “placed.”

    “Time flies like an arrow,

    Fruit flies like a banana.”

    One of many possible Turing tests.

    LOL. That was the funniest damn thing I’ve read all week.

    there’s this guy. his name is god. he lives in the sky.  he had a son named hey seuss, by a virgin named mary.

    hey seuss died for YOUR sins. What a guy.  ‘course, what else would you expect from god’s son.

    lefty, you’re a barrel of laughs.
