I don't know where Atomic Rooster has gone, but unless he shows up I suppose I should carry on with the global domination thing, especially now that Cuncuna gave me the idea to take over the world by controlling male orgasms.

The thread has been ressurected!?
And it is a shame with AR.....we had the best plan to co-dominate the world. I mean, I can't do it alone!
I've tried and failed before.

I'm off on a two week scouting mission for The Intelligent Peoples Operation Domination to the eastern fringes of my country. I shall be locating and investigating ranches and vineyards as my part of Phase I of the Grand Plan.
My report will follow shortly after my return.
In the meantime, mere mortals of average intelligence may discuss and debate which came first, the chicken or the egg. As a person with absolutely an intelligence at least minimally above that of the average person (although the jury is still out on this claim), may I propose a much more thoughtful discussion and heated debate on the effect of progressive music on not only the growing of grapes but also the overall appreciation of the enjoyment of the end result of these labours - aka wine.
I am advocating that as wine can be paired successfully or unsuccessfully with food (grilled buffalo penises, mmmm), so too can it be paired with music. For example, I would say that rap goes well with a slightly aged bottle of plonk whereas Foxtrot (prog) goes superbly with a lovely Cabernet.
In fact, I surmise that Wine and Food and Prog form a triangle of heightened enjoyment. My essay on the subject should be ready next year sometime, discussions on the subject would be appreciated.
Oh, and perhaps we should have a secret handshake...
Long Live Lord Vompatti!!!

1. I know "Mary is a little lamb" by heart, or whatever the title is. Proof:
"Mary is a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary is a little lamb and geese are white as snow.". I think I have forgotten the rest. 2. Give me any number, and I'll add 0 to it before you can say "supercali...",,, um, some very long word. Well, provided the number is not bigger than 10. 3. I love classical music, especially the second violin concerto of Beethoven. 4. I speak 12 different languages. That is, I know how to say "Yes" and "No" in them, and it is right in 50% of the cases. 5. I could name more reasons; I just can't think of any right now. |

I think you're on the right track with your wine theory. I'm not an expert on the subject as I tend to enjoy my prog with coke, but I suppose there's an ideal drink and food for every album. May I also point out that these combinations of food, drink and music are not necessarily universal, but one person could very well link a certain album with a different culinary experience than another person does. In such a case we must assume that at least one of the persons in question has a bad taste. As for the secret handshake, perhaps we could shake each others' buffalo penises, unless you think that's too subtle? |

I have neither a house nor a car, still I always keep my keys in my pocket (except when I lock or open the door). Do I win or lose and why should I care?

I'm back from my scouting trip to the eastern reaches of Canada and have the following report to submit;
Not one buffalo was spotted, the largest land-bound creature I saw was a fox. I did see an impressive tuna, but alas... tuna have no penises.
Vineyards are NOT in abundance, the best I could do was finding a fellow who made his own chokecherry wine, Vin de Oh Oh.
Domination strategy recommendations:
No need to be careful, no ranches or vineyards to be concerned about - level the place.
If I may suggest, leave the water alone, the fish are wonderful to eat, even sans penis.
On an aside, I have acquired a new line of work, thanks in part to being a member of 'The Intelligent People's Thread'. I start in a couple of weeks and am currently wrapping up my old position. I may be off air for a while.
Until later then...
Long live Lord Vompatti!

A moment ago I was sitting on the sofa contemplating metaphysical questions, when a sudden feeling of intelligence struck me like one of those swinging balls they smash buildings with so that Donald Trump can replace them with new ones that are more shiny and expensive, and I felt so intelligent that I just had to return to my fellow intelligents to enquire what's going on with our plans of world domination. Have we conquered the world yet? What about the vineyards? Buffalo farms? Where do we stand? Where do we sit? These are the things that are going on in my intelligent mind.

I was honestly about to come in here and say
"Penis" but look who stole my thunder. I will have to think of something else witty and intelligent and original. Like.... Boobies. |
