You are spending more time arguing the nature of your post than actually clarifying what you were talking about. Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Are you going to clarify or not? Just acquiesce or refuse so I can stop taking the time to pay attention to this thread.

After a while - you almost know exactly what to expect from each thread... You can virtually predict who is going to join...what they will say...who they will lash at...who will star & flag who, and ultimately - the threads all dwindle to the same predictable conclusion.

And - by the way - Thanks! for remaining in this conversation as I don't think I could have kept vethumanbeing interested long enough to get to some of the topics we've covered.

Unbeknownst to you is actually a remake of "Splash" in 2 parts no fins or tails, Just weaponry; legs and arms and a validly rightious murder intent. (Tarantino's foot fetish). Flipper was cast originallly as the Bill character ; David Carradine graciously stepped in. Reason? there was a funeral to attend, half way around the world, nowhere close to location shoot (a near relative suffocated in a gill net).
I am not familiar with "Tarantino's foot fetish". Is this some widely known idiosyncracy...or...some more abstract observation of yours?
I was just thinking of watching the two "Kill Bill"s again (within the last couple of days).
Guess I'll be trying to see how Ron Howard and Mr. Tarantinos attempts are similar.
One of my favorite tunes by System of a Down is unpretentiously titled - "U-fig". Just listened to it, yesterday.
Not familiar with your other selections except "Live" (difficult to Google) and Stravinsky.

The thinking ones (Lucifer was not alone in this) totally redesigned the dayroom, darkroom, livingroom dog kennel and house within. No one was told anything or suspected, it was a brilliant boomerang slam to the whole ill concieved plan shebang. HR never had a clue."
Louie Cipher needed the personell...fortunately, the colonising crew, being so far away from head office, and trusting the favorite 'right hand man'...were always going to go along with whatever...didn't seem that far fetched an idea, and as it turns out, didn't mess with the exit points too much...
Our highway home to head office is still paved, and we get to design 'off-ramps' for distraction to view the horror movies of our choice...and we all love horror movies...

The entire thread was relatively pointless, but your post was one of the more confusing ones. I'm puzzled, as I type this, as to why you would use the obscure nature of the thread to excuse your own lack of clarity in the subject. Just because one man kicks a dog, does not mean the next should as well. And so, perhaps you could set an example by clarifying the thread and maybe giving it value for those of us still on the fence.

That post didn't make any sense at all. If it was a mass metaphor, please clarify the intended meanings behind each element.

Pointless?
Maybe...that was the point.
...but your post was one of the more confusing ones.
The "confusion" may simply be a lack of common ground.
I am/was confused, as well...but could see a common backdrop &...found it, entertaining. Just as I find your contributions (here and elsewhere) entertaining, enlightening & even inspiring.

Sometimes, pulling the veil away damages the work/s beneath. Kinda depends on the materials used.

Then what's the point of this thread? You just basically stated the question isn't supposed to just be answered.edit on 10-2-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

All the support staff verily shat themselves, it seems, and resorted to the cut&dry rulebook, making them (popularly thought to be source, but, in fact, not) appear to be monsters of vengeance and anger...
Those exit points are 'hairy', but, adequate GPS maps remain (mostly buggy) but, adequate for the journey.
I remember the backmasked voices of The Exorcist, when meeting the ectoplasmic streaming in created locums (as do many)...the lamas of Tibet though have a cold, hard instruction booklet - perhaps available at any good bookstore.

Can't disagree with you on any of this...
"The challenge", however, is the conundrum.

Support staff for some reason as you say; followed the (very large D-ring binder dark blue) Procedural Book of Insanity. They as in Lucifer as well were scapegoats, the Silent Partner in the whole mix getting a pass. GPS coordinates and Grenwich Mean Time 2100 (meet at Stonehenge with a picnic basket). The Exorcist, one of the best Fear movies ever made. I forced myself to watch it recently and had these outbursts vocally- "Is that all youve got?" "Are you kidding me?" "Tripe assed consumer of innocents?' Always wondered why they caved; the Lamas could fortell their future being very good astrologers but I Think by merely reading it then manefested their future POP into being. Probably never imagined THAT could happen.Wadga do with all the Gold; invisiblize, animate it so the Chinese would never suspect the hairy Lapsa Ahpsos held the key. That Book of the Dead is quite a read.
