Justifying Yer Existence

[Bret Cahill]

You are quite the rabid dog, aren't you?

If you or, for that matter, anyone else wants a pat on the head you'll
need to move to another . . . well . . . another universe.

Recently some entertainment industry type was on NPR with a voice
positively dripping with sadness and pity, "people come to Hollywood
looking for parental approval and Hollywood is the _last_ place
they'll find that."

Actually he was too Hollywoodcentric. Like gravity, that can be
assumed to be everywhere.

Anyway, as a populist, I can cheer up this Hollywood guy by
encouraging everyone to be a braggart.

DeTocqueville chuckled about how democracy causes everyone to strut
their stuff but then he added that there were worse things than that.

Plus, you don't know what you're talking about.

There are 2 kinds of scammers:

1. The scammer who knows full well what he's doing is unethical or
illegal and can therefore keep from getting caught.

2. The "deliriscammer" who has deluded himself into believing his own
nonsense. The lazy thinking, the dodging and flaming . . . you fit
the profile.

FYI, I've been in business for the last 25 years doing electronic
design for individuals, Fortune 500 companies, and the US government.

If you were doing anything you wouldn't be trying to defend your
existence. Your _work_ would speak for itself.

That has _got_ to be the easiest bluff to call.

I also have a patent

One patent? Most people either invent a lot or nothing at all.

As P. said, "we live in a binary universe. Either something is on or
it is off."

Anyway, what's the patent number?

and lots and lots of happy customers.

We knew that from all the "LOL!" posts.

Good one!
Some justify their existence(such as some in this NG)
through insanity. Given the natural common insanity of the
human condition, that then would be insanity on insanity.
lulz

My intent isn't to solicit pats on the head, it's to expose you for
the phony you _really_ are.

So can bullshit, obviously.

You're badly deluded if you think you're a populist.

What you are is an elitist who wants to keep the people below him so
he can feel a little less wretched by being "above" them.

I'm not defending my existence lunkhead, what I'm doing is pointing
out that your unwarranted assumptions have made an ass out of you.

Speaking of logic, or rather illogic, where does it say that because I
have one patent I _don't_ invent a lot?

More unwarranted assumptions? I'd say so.

Too bad you can't come up with stuff of your own, huh?

Anyway, what's the patent number?

You know my name, go look it up. Anyway, what do you care?

Here's an interesting claim. Does your P. talk to you often?

So an electron is either a particle or a wave. Got it.
And it's also either great tasting or less filling.

Hell, virtual particles aren't even completely there, rather
like KKKahill himself.

Ooops. I'm sorry; I already filed this post under
Accepted Apologies. I didn't get the memo.
That's the problem with this universe being this
bureaucratic; the left hand doesn't know who the
right hand is fondling.

Here's a way you guys can mainstream yourselves:

Know how yer supposed to eat local?

Git the NRA to announce that members will never engage in any spree
shootins that aren't local.

So much for your technical acumen...

You completely missed that it's not an electron that operates under
that duality, it's a photon.

Just adding insult to injury.

Hmm...

I just remembered, I owe you a recipe for salmon croquettes.

Here ya go:

1 can (14-3/4 oz) pink salmon
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coarse-ground black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup crushed corn flakes

Drain and flake salmon, reserving the liquid.

Add milk to reserved liquid to make 1 cup of broth, and set aside.

Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan large enough to hold all the
ingredients, then add onions and cook until tender.

Add flour to the saucepan and and stir until smooth.

Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, while gradually adding the
set-aside broth.

Cook until thick, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add salmon, 1/2 cup of corn flakes, salt and
pepper, and mix thoroughly.

Chill for 1 hour

Shape croquettes, roll in remaining corn flakes, and bake at 400 F for
about 30 minutes or until brown.

Serve with white sauce:

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk

Melt butter in a sucepan and whisk in flour and salt until smooth.

Stirring constantly over high heat, gradually add cold milk until
mixture boils.

Reduce heat slightly and continue to heat until sauce becomes smooth
and thick.

When sauce thickens, simmer for an additional 10 minutes over very low
heat, stirring occasionally
