2:17 Am

no canned tuna or whatnot there ?
i've probably fed my kids more tuna then i've eaten myself just to save myself from having to run out and get food
they don't care too much for cold fried chicken

Good news, friends! As I opened the garage door and got into the car, I saw that there was a whole bag of cat food... in the garage!

Now I can go to bed! Goodnight, sweet Cult. For you have been too kind.

Sweet dreams, and goodbye .

I have been awoken from a sleep by my old flatmate's cat who was meowing for food. I heard him downstairs and there was no one left. You'd wanna kill that bastard for making you walk downstairs and drag your ass out of bed, but once you're standing there in the kitchen, slippers on your feet, robe on, looking down at the poor bastard finally eating you go like man, poor thing.

You come back now tupper ya hear?

cats are troublesome, one used to bang on my window in the dead of winter, i tried to train it not to by throwing it to the ground, (two stories) but that didn't work it continued with its harrassment

I think the word we're looking for is... [I]incessent?[/I]

my cat likes to wake up the whole house in the middle of the night be meowing at one of the bedroom windows to come inside. An hour later when you finally get tired of listening and you get out of bed, you go to the front door and he will not come to the door. Some cats seriously deserve to be kicked.

Will, when did you get a cat!?

I'm so behind.

I have a cat? When did this happen?

(ha ha - about a year ago)

Hey Will, did you know tofu baloney exists?? Cats don't like it though.

That's because tofu is an unnatural act of food.

How can something 'natural' perfom an act that's something out of said something's way of being?

Uhhh...tofu is gross?

I gets mad fucked if I get that for dinner yo. Punks be tripping.

Hey Mirka, No, I didn't know that! In fact I had no idea. But what you said got me thinking: isn't it weird how their are all these good foods that are made out of tofu (i.e. tofu bacon, tofu pepperoni, tofu baloney, etc), and yet there haven't been any that have gone the other way?

Like, real pepperoni that tastes like tofu, bacon that tastes like tofu, etc.

You'd think that there'd be a market for it. Like the market for cologne for dogs, I mean.

PS - I like tofu. But we already knew there was obviously a lot wrong with me, anyway.

It's okay. It'll all be over soon.

Hmm, bacon that doesn't taste like anything? I guess I don't see that its weird that that hasn't been invented. Isn't tofu just a tasteless texture until it's been manipulated?

What did you name your cat?

You wouldn't survive a day in the ghetto. Not with that attitude tupper.

He would totally peppify the ghetto. When he left, all the gangstahs would have their GEDs and start painting happy faces on all the projects.

It'd be a nice change.

That's a good point, Mirka. I didn't think that it wouldn't make sense to have good foods be made to have no taste. Not when there's already cardboard in the world.

You know what's another food that I love that no one else I know seems to like? Those crazy styrofoam cracker things that they give you with soup at some Chinese restaurants. I LOVE them. They are like rice cakes, only like, tons better.

I have no idea why, though. I literally know no one else who likes them.

And the cat came to the house from a friend of the family who couldn't take care of her anymore (she was gone too long during the day, etc), so she had a name already. When this friend got her (the cat, not sure from where), she had a little kitty biker collar on.

So, the friend named her Harley, as in Harley Davidson. So that's her name .

Jane, you have said a lot of great things to me over the years. But this is, by far, the absolute best.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What am I, on your post-no-reply list?

Mr. Brown, you make me laugh. And I'm sorry, but I didn't have anything interesting to say to you.

I DID think about telling you how yeah, I did grow up in the burbs (very literally the other side of Eminem's 8 Mile, as it were), but I have spent a good amont of time in the very worst parts of Detroit. And I've always been amazed... if you treat people with a little respect, talk to them like people who have opinions that are worth listening to... folks are usually pretty nice.

I've met my share of fucked up crack heads (and hos), too. But it's always been way more positive experiences than negative. I am probably just a dumb white boy who has been very lucky, but I love Detroit and I love it's people and I believe (I am the only one who believe this, it seems, but so fucking what) that some day - soon - Detroit will become a city like Chicago. A great city, a place people want to visit even when there isn't a major sporting event here... and a safe place to raise kids or whatever.

Everything ebbs and flows, and Detroit's just been too low too long, you know? So that's how I feel.

Oh, and hey Mr. Brown. Hey!

I'm just going to go ahead and put this in this thread, here, because I've wanted to share it with others for a while... and I'm just a little too tired to care about proper protocol and all (and I don't know how to quote things from other threads into new ones, but no matter).

This is a post from someone named "Nihilist," that was in a thread under the Fight Club movie section called something like, "Who things Fight Club is being seen by the wrong fucking people?"

I think it's a good thread, because there is some - gasp! - real actual insight and wisdom laid down by a few of the posters there (not necessarily by Mr. Brown though - ha!), and on days that I've been feeling a little down, and just happened to be on the 'net, this is one of those things that I've just gone back to and reread and reread, time and again.

Anyways, I think it's good advice... for anybody. So thanks, Nihilist, wherever you are now:

fight club is an evolution.

it started out as guys who lived the american/western dream and found out its pretty fucking hollow. they watched and joined fight club because fighting is its own reward. they push themselves beyond limits they would never get in average life.

in short, they have found something meaningfull finally.

IMO, all the old shit that used to fill ppls lives are gone. marriage is sadly a joke, and ppl are getting too fucked up to even have long term relationships. media and society have squashed alotof the mischief fun of youth, and so no one really ever fill that craziness we all have. i mena when i was in school, they were chargin kids with unruly for totally nonviolent shit. whats with that? i know at least where i live, raising hell was confined to getting wasted and fucking some slut. no real destruction or adventure.

and once you get into your 20s, you have responsibilites. and your ability to have some adventure is greatly contracted. so you have ppl who never really explored anything, and now prolly never will, except in brief 'vacations.' and so we become restless.

so, still being tied to modern societal chains, tey have found something that gives them something to really look forward too. no worries about being shot down or catching someone cheating on you or whatever. its a group of like minded guys with similar hobbies and outlooks. thats potent stuff. particularly since everyone is so blindly self absorbed anymore.

so not only are you exploring, you have a group thats with you. like louis and clark. comraderie!

so, then these guys have found something real in life, and that colors there entire world. tyler takes on a more leadership type role, telling them things and expanding a changing worldview. perhaps a bit of brainwashing too.

i think we should all take on the role of tyler. share little bits of info amongst those you talk to regularly, get them to look at things differently. now, dont be a teacher or a nag, im just saying when something important comes up, drop a line. maybe offer a brief explanation. be an influencer, not the influenced.

over a long enough timeline, you can greatly influence alot of ppl.

Also (and I've had this thought for a long time), I think it would be great if, somewhere on the message board, there was a collected section for a kind-of "Cult's Greatest Hits." I'm not talking about the stupid shit that clutters up the boards, but those occasional hyper-insightful posts (like Nihilist's) that make it so worth coming back here, time and again. Because there are a lot of smart fucks on this board (and some dumb ones. Like me! ), and the've said some pretty insightful stuff over the years.

I don't know how it would be done, though. Who would do the choosing, how it would be organized or whatever. But it's just a thought I've had. So there .

You hand me a bucket of flowers ([I]Mr. Brown, you make me laugh[/I]) and a bucket of knives ([I]real actual insight and wisdom laid down by a few of the posters there (not necessarily by Mr. Brown though - ha!)[/I]) tupper.

What am I doing in the early morning hours?

Getting locked out of my car. That's what.

I wanted a dog. But after I got married, my wife wanted 2 cats. I said only one cat. Thusly, we have 2.

They are actually great little animals, except I have had to train myself to sleep with my feet poking out of the bottom of the sheets, because if I don't, the cats continually pounce on my feet all night. Can't blame them, they only have 19 chromosomes, but damn, you would think the dumb bastards would figure it out eventually.

My wife sleeps with a comforter on, so they don't bother her. If I get hot, I can't sleep. So exposed feet it is.

You sound happily married to a slave driving wife. That's beautiful. Did she let you use the internet? That's sweet.

Wow, you really are a miserable fuck today.
