Grumpy people are more advanced on the evolutionary scale!

First order of business:
The Council of Seven has met and reached a verdict by a vote of 4 to 3. Sentence for Jean Paul is handed down as follows: Zordeaux, Jean Paul, you are hereby senstenced to serve the Great Ones as jester for eternity. Report with all your belongings that you can carry on your person to the nearest cardboard box on Monday. We are acting in good faith that you shall comply without incident. Failure to do so will result in immediate heremetical hexagonicalizationment. Appeal is denied.

*a clap of thunder shakes the earth, a blinding white flash fills the firmament and the odor of ozone permeates the air*

Second order of business:
EU finds the producer and host unaware of the inherent difficulties of having an ascended master as a guest: they are no longer in corporeal form.

EU approaches the studio despite that, knowing full-well the repercussions as well as the potential karmic lessons for those making the request, and, alas, a percussive snap echoes about the stage then a deafening silence as the broadast is knocked off the air. The studio electronics eject a shower of sparks, catch fire and lay in a smoldering heap. Technicians suffer first and second degree burns. Others suffer cuts, bruises and broken bones sustained in the ensuing panic to escape the pitch black sound stage.

The show is cancelled indefinitely until necessary repairs are made and lawsuits charging the network with gross negligence and disregard for safety are settled. Each and every one of the pitfalls of attempting this never-before-seen-on-TV-and-could-never-have-been-seen-on-TV spectacle were avaliable to network employees and executives at any good metaphysical bookstore. Ignorance was no excuse. Corporate greed led to tragedy that should have been avoided in the first place.

A new meeting of the Countil of Seven will convene to decide the fate of those responsible, that of the network and possibly that of humanity.

Ladies and gentlemen we have another honored guest today, give it up for the one the only, the uncomprable Signals!




Sig Wait...I'm sorry I have to address Tarzan before he throws a hissy fit. Apparently his agent told him he would have star billing or something.

I repent for my sins. Where do I donate?

Now Tarzan, hang on...before I get to you I have to ask S-Dog a question about his efforts in Wikileaks lately. This is an unfortunate story that really needs to be told and we are, after all a conspiracy talk show. If we're not careful the suits here at ATS will move us to a different timeslot over at BTS, which is like loosing our cherished time slot after American Idol and being moved to following Brothers and Sisters, do you understand? So, hang tight there fella.

S-Dog, can you tell us about the efforts you've made to keep Wiki - Leaks relevant?

Now that's a classic bit sonny. (pauses as the robot gulps more medicine)

What about that vote back hmmmm?

When I was a kid we voted cause we had to. To preserve the right you know. You kids don't vote and call it a "statement". Statement? I've got one for ya.

We walked uphill both ways to school in the snow everyday. With no shoes. You kids can't leave the yard bare-footed. Weak I tell ya.

You want to know what motivated us? HARD WORK and determination! Just like Reagan, you know (RIP)...he showed those there damn commies.

Here's what our sales meetings went like-

Thank you for understanding sir, you're like a Prince...or King...of the jungle. S-Dog?

reply to post by EnlightenUp


Okay, are you happy now? I think S-Dog thinks this show was really canceled?



Will you please lighten up?

It all started when I was searching for some much needed personal items, the google erroneously led me to 'wikileaks' ... after a couple of days I realized that my soulagement needs would not be found therein ...

However I did discover one of the most valuable sources of information on the internet ... and I am very saddened by recent developments which have forced them to shut down until further funds are acquired. Of course I sadden easily these days on account of the grim reaper's perpetual presence on my recliner.

I have managed to find a mirror to get the last cached page before they shut down and I also discovered that one can retrieve a lot of the existing documents via the 'wayback machine" ...

I hope they are back up soon because we need them ... also I like saying wikileaks.

I am trying to keep up, you know you young folks these days. Try to tell you how we had it in the old days.

Like the times I had to walk back and forth to work 10 miles, uphill both ways. Get up 4 hours before I went to bed go back to work 28 hours a day. Get home and my daddy would kill me stomping upon my brains singing hallelujah.

Try to tell that to you young folks these days and you just call it a theory.

Pffft.

How much does this show pay anyway?

You whipper snappers come up with this cockamamie idear and I bet you haven't figured that out

One of the stage hands just asked me to go to the "green room"...Green room? Is that what's it's called now? How dare him, when I need to change the depends I'll know. Hell, you will know.

And...speaking of GREEN. Sounds like an idea cooked up by the Hippies. Smelly buggers weren't they?

We drank gasoline in the day and WE LIKED IT. How's that for green?

Can you shed some light on what those recent developments were? And what in the hell soulagement means?

reply to post by Signals


Speaking of green, haven't you started a thread eschewing any notion that little green men were real? Can you elaborate on that?

You kids complain about vegetarian this fast food that...


When I was a kid we ATE DIRT AND WE LIKED IT.

You know being a former construction specialist, I built my home of balsa wood, when them punks get in my yard I lift the house and scream at them at the top of my lungs. Of course being a lifetime smoker, the closest can hear me. Hack...cough...

You got dirt, all we had were handfuls of cold gravel!

You must of grown up on the better side of town.

Pay, pffft, you must be one of them special old timers. I remember the days when we was happy to work for free.

Leaded or unleaded? I remember the time we were so poor, we had to enjoy diesel, can you believe that? Diesel.

Soulagement ...-removal of stress or discomfort

I thought you were French!!!

Wkileaks is down due to lack of operational funding ... as I have noted in the past, it surprises me that ATS members aren't more vocal about their indignation on this sad state of affairs ... other things that surprise me = robots!

There is imho a conspiracy to silence sites such as wikileaks.

My God! That's an actual word?



Isn't Wiki leaks down in part because Pay Pal froze their account with like tons of money in it, and now Wiki Leaks is unable to access those funds?

Parlez-Vous Français?

Hey, no using them fancy European languages. I'm only trained in two languages, English and Redneck.

Ya donta say mey spraking ina dem udder langgamages!

Darn it!

Old news, really.

Absolutely - grumpy people are more advanced - they DO see the #e, and are sufficiently human (v/s sociopathic) to be concerned. But they are not the MOST advanced.

...Much evidence shows that children of above-average intelligence are more inclined to be cooperative, to mediate and seek harmonious resolutions to conflict.

Hence, cooperative individuals are even more advanced than grumpy ones.

Finally, those who have achieved self-transcendence in the Maslow hierarchy are not grumpy at all - they DO care, they just don't take it personally.

So, self-transcended, altruistic individuals are the MOST advanced, and pretty much totally Zenned out, if not actually happy.

However, it is important to note that total, major pissed-offedness is an essential and necessary step in the process of personal evolution, which leads, hypothetically, to the state of altruistic self-transcendence.
