   BECACAUSE OF THE METHOD OF DETAIL; OF TREATING WHOLES BY SEPARATING THEM INTO THEIR PARTS, ABSTRATIONS BY RESOLVING THEM INTO THINGS!!!

   You know, I got a “D” in hedonistic calculus.  I guess someone will have to read the clock for me.

   If the clock has itself stuffed and preserved, get video.

   Thanks.

   There’s worse obsessions out there, you know. Some incredibily hard up nut case could obsess over Helen Thomas.

   THAT would be truly sick.

   Hmmmm…. Precisely 9 ticks from the mantle…. theres the problem with your clock Goldstein…Fourth tick – Its from Mars… which means its psuedo-maschocistically mysogonometic, and yet perversly intentionalistic at the same time.

   – Something like Billy Jacks pearl lined cod-piece….

    These conceptual posts are pretty doggone funny —if you get the concept.  Which may well be the explanation for why we rarely see any of our lefty friends commenting in these threads.  I’m mean you’d look pretty silly referencing Goebbels over a punctuation emphasized clock tick, now wouldn’t you?  Not that that’s stopped them before, of course, though whether because of the hypocracy, or whether they want pie.  Anyway, I quite enjoy these things, and the clever responses they get from the regulars.

    TW=attack.  As in, this isn’t an attack on Jeff despite the inclusion of the word “Goebbels” above.

    And here I was thinking Jeff’s clock just developed a nervous tic.
