Possibly warned by her doctors about increasingly dangerous levels of midi-chlorian Snark in her bloodstream, The Tam of
View From the Porch has resumed blogging. Abet without comments enabled: The Dumbs being a much more powerful force than The Snark.
Please join me in welcoming the Queen of Snark back to her righteous throne.
Nah, the Dumbs are not more powerful. Paraphrasing Yoda:
ReplyDeleteYoda: Yes, a [Gunblogger]'s strength flows from the [Snark]. But beware of the [dumb] side. Anger, fear, aggression; the [dumb] side of the [Snark] are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a [debate]. If once you start down the [dumb] path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will....
Luke: Is the [dumb] side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the [smart] side from the [stupid]?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A [Gunblogger] uses the [Snark] for knowledge and defense, NEVER for attack.
Luke: But tell my why I can't...
Yoda: No, no! There is no "why". Nothing more will I teach you today. Clear your mind of questions.
Part of me imagines that The Tam's Snark training included something like this.
(Why, yes, I am a geek, in case there was any doubt. ;) )
I can only quote Al Einstein:
ReplyDelete"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
As for The Tam's Snark training; "This is your bludgeon. This is the weapon of a Snark Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age."
I was a Star Wars geek; George Lucas' descent into the dark merchandizing side cured me of that.
