How about:

onanoration - The fine art of waxing rhetorically about the smallest points of argument, for the sheer joy of the sound of one's own argument.

I bet on the cardinals. Good thing I've got you right where I want you or I'd really be nervous.

How about desating?

The process of internal rationalization that occurs after one has lost a debate; the warm down period from a confidently expressed rhetorical showing that was not officially concurred with through the official tally.

Perhaps it needs work...

Man, I miss sniglets.

ha
they broadcast it in germany
they talk about kurt warner


so now i am off to jump in now and then
i am nervous

go cardinals!

my son got some cheerleader stuff from a high school musical event
in red and white
would suit the cardinals

Did anyone else's conspiratorial itch perk up when they introduced the crew of the Hudson river Flight?

As if it was meant to 'reframe' public perception regarding airline crashes?

Seems odd in my opinion that that would have been decided upon for oe of the years biggest audiences...

Paranoid perhaps...but remember I am a conspiracy theorist...

Congrats to Neformore and questioningall!

Your debate has made the top-threads list at the top of the recent posts page, an unprecedented occurrence for two new fighters.



We're all reading, no pressure or anything!

Challenge Match: Neformore vs questioningall : The Great Escape, Good Idea or Bad?

What an excellent distinction Nef and Quest!!

Congratulations....

I enjoy watching the growth of this forum...

I absolutely agree Mem. The entire thing feels like it's been made too much of.

I believe this represents a deliberate transition of symbolism, moving from heroes who have been martyred to heroes who succeeded. This dovetails perfectly with the transition from Bush's policy focus to Obama's policy focus, which can be summed up as a move from revenge to rebuilding.

Of course Skyfloating will soon prove me and Mem to be wrong about this- no way the MSM is chock full of innaccuracies and propaganda- only the internet is like that .

Ding. Where are you.

Exactly...coupled with the fact that most of the population has recently been forced to consider their own individual lives and finances as opposed to the actions of our authority figures.

Reminds me of the scene in V For Vendetta...When the Chancellor shouts out, "I want them to remember exactly why they need us!"

Some of my concerns may be inaccurate attempts at pattern recognition but I suspect that too many coincedences deny the reality of the coincedence...

I u2u'ed you. Don't sweat it, Mr. Shock and Semper are actually the same person in different bodies, so they know everything that goes on in here

I will have a huge sigh of relief now.

Man, the Cards just dodged a bullet!

Actually a finer point could be made, that shows the success of the 'change and hope paradigm' - the fact that you found, quite easily, that allegorical interpretation shows that such rhetoric has successfully embedded itself quite firmly into the archetype of the current 'American Story'.

The American media: "Putting the tint in your rose-colored glasses since 1919"™.

And yeah they did! Only a Field Goal takes some of that momentum away...

My money is on the cards (My brother is betting a 12 pack against a 6 pack and giving me 2.5 points) but I'm gonna go ahead and say that 3 points is a big enough lead for the Steelers.

Generally I LOVE defensive teams, I have almost no respect for passing offenses, and I have mild trust issues pertaining to kickers. All of those things create anxiety for me at this moment, vis a vis The Cardinals.

No, you were in the high adrenalin pumping drama.
