The Terrible Fate of Nazimedia Spies

Wed, Oct 1, 2003 at 9:54:14 am PDT

Last week I noted an Indymedia UK “article” that urged their fellow Morlocks to infiltrate a proposed LGF meeting in London, so they could attempt to discover the terrible truth about this evil, nefarious place known as LFG.

But the would-be Nazimedia spies have discovered it’s not so easy to fool the lizardoid army, as Cox & Forkum illustrate. Bwahahaha!

Yum! That was a tasty snack! Bring me another Morlock!

Recipe for Fire Spit Roasted Morlock:

Take 1 Morlock - wash thoroughly with Kosher salt.
Rub down with Thyme, Garlic, Pepper, Rosemary, Kosher Salt and Pepper.

Place spiced morlock on iron spit and suspend over hot coals turning frequently for 4 hours -

Serve and enjoy.

#18 "I am the one munching on that morlock! Morlocks taste like chicken! Mmmmm Goooood!"

------------------

Actually, in my novel The Time Machine, the "Morlocks" were a warlike race of cannibals.

The passive victims who lived in continual danger of cannibalism were called the "Eloi."

My idea, you see, was that far in the future the human race would evolve into two different races - one race unable (or unwilling?) to defend itself, and a second group all to willing to prey on the first.

So please, read the novel before you start throwing my words around!

I have spoken about this problem (ie., the appropriation of literary coinages by non-readers) with George Orwell (also here in the afterlife) and he too is very upset by the way some of his coinages have been misappropriated and abused by people who haven't even bothered to skim, much less and digest his works.

On the other hand, if George cannot summon sufficient backbone to tell you this himself, it's not my job.

What is my job? To ask that you please use the terms "Morlocks" and "Eloi" correctly, or cease and desist from using them.

Alternately, you may write your own dystopian novel, and use your own coinages (eg., "GAZE") however you wish.

Thank you.

34 lawhawk  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 8:29:36am

From my personal stash of recipes, prepared and vetted for LFG consumption:

Stuffed crust morlock- Good for the occasional late night snack.

Morlock toes- Chicken fingers, they aint. Chicken don't have fingers; and we've found that toes are more tasty.

Jack Daniels morlock- Combine two of your favorites in one heady dish.

Morlock-kebabs- for the health conscious LFGer, prepared with a dash of thyme, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.

Morlock couscous- another light and fluffy dish (try to get extra lean Morlock for this dish or you'll have to spend more time trimming away fat)

Vegan morlock surprise- Morlock brains are surprisingly tasty, and vegetarian to boot. Vegans eat to your heart's content.

Take one morlock. Run over it till it's good and squashed. Brush the flattened morlock with melted butter and toast on a hot grill until done. Then prepare a stuffing.
To make the stuffing, gut one Arafish and put it on a rotiserie, then turn slowly over a bed of coals until done. Wrap the Arafish in the morlock then toss the disgusting mess away, and go out for a celebratory drink.

51 Dirk Diggler  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 9:04:16am

SoCalJustice,

Rush Limbaugh's comments were stupid and illustrate an appalling ignorance of the sport he is so lucratively paid to comment on, if nothing else. Donovan McNabb is one of the NFL's premier quarterbacks and an incredible talent, regardless of his race. Personally, I'd take him over the reckless Brett Farve anyday.

52 CPatterson  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 9:08:32am

WARNING

Preparation (skinning, portioning and filleting) of Indymediot must be done under the most stringent conditions, and is best done by a trained expert with several years of experience. Just as a slip of the knife can contaminate an entire plate of puffer fish with paralytic poison, accidental puncture of the vile gland(s) will contaminate Indy flesh with an enzyme that has an effect similar to LSD.

People infected by this enzyme have been reported to engage in utopian fantasies; hold joint meetings of communists, socialists and anarchists, then complain of lack of democratic process at said meetings; defend communism as an experiment that “hasn’t been done correctly yet”; and of course, dozer diving.

Of course, after proper butchering, the meat can be served raw or presented in your favorite recipe.

53 SoCalJustice  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 9:09:13am

(#51) Dirk Diggler:

I agree, except that Brett Favre in his prime was simply awesome. But comparing them today, I'd take McNabb in a heartbeat.

But if that quote Drudge has is correct, Rush's post-incident comments are just as stupid as his theory about McNabb.

58 Jetstorm  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 9:18:58am

I agreed with Rush's comments in principle. Even sports is not immune to the multi-culti social engineering that the Leftist Political Front is trying to push on us, ie. demand for more black head coaches and quarterbacks in college/NFL football, regardless of whether they can produce or not.

Where he totally fudged up is criticizing McNabb. Talk all you want about McNabb's mechanics and stats, but all he does is win. Two NFC title appearances in two years, he must be doing something right. Now, if he repeatedly goes to NFC title games but can't win the big one, then comparisons to Dan Marino and Vinny Testevarde are gonna start to creep up on him (McNabb can't win the BIG GAME, yada yada yada). But for a guy who's been in the league such a short time, he's doing well.

Rush probably would have been better off with an example such as Akili Smith or Charlie Batch. Smith was a total flop, and Batch never impressed me.

Morlock recipes anyone?

Braised Morlock
1. Wash and clean 1 medium sized morlock (remove foreskin, feed to pigs)
2. Chop into bite size pieces.
3. Sprinkle *liberally* with kosher salt. (liberally, get it?)
4. Saute in 2 cups of fresh SHMALTZ until
browned.
5. Remove to heavy baking dish. Warning: Do not use 'Le Creuset.' Remember the French boycott?
My advice: re-gift them to your cleaning ladies as a X-mas present or donate them to the Shul Second Best Sale.
6. Bake until tender.
7. Throw in garbage or feed to pigs.

As a devout Lizardoid, I may be out of line, but why must we keep ingesting these morlocks? Honestly, they have the nutritional value of head lettuce, absolutely no protein, and taste like watered down, well...water.

Re: #12, #32 HG Wells

Yes, his Morlocks were underground monsters, while the Eloi were the peaceful sheep the Morlocks raised for slaughter.

Since the Morlocks of Indymedia often cherish their progressive, "underground" heritage, and usually promote policies and governments that in the past century have led to (depending on the body count) hundreds of millions of innocent deaths for their own aggrandizement, I believe the use of the name is apt.

Also, if I recall correctly (or was it just in the movie?), Morlocks couldn't stand the sunlight. Indymedia also can't take the light (or heat).

Shine on, LFG. :)

That's a big 10-4, Breaker 19. Rush is a big boy, though, and he can handle himself in a mudslinging contest. He's just racheting up the rhetoric a little bit, IMHO.

It's like Charlie Daniels said in an interview with Bill O'Reilly, after he had explained that the Dixie Chicks had every right to say what they said, and all sane, rational Americans had every right to vehemently disagree with them and not listen to their music anymore:

"In this country you CAN say whatever you want. But once it's out of your mouth, you've got to live with it," (it being the consequences).

ability to create holes in objects and then re-seal them once he passes through,

which obviously refers to Morlock heads. a more typical example is Brain Cell, who is

telepathically linked to all other Morlocks.

It's their only braincell, obviously. And the tastiest one is certainly Chicken Claws, although he is barely more than wings and claws.

Listen, if Charles Lord Barkley had made that same comment, we all'd just be nodding sagely and saying, "Yeah, McNabb's second rate" (second-rate in the NFL is STILL really damn good) The defense has carried the team. Remember opening night against the Bucs?

Rush says it and everyone who's been waiting for him to fuck up pounces.

Now Vick was doing great and seeming to come into his own this year before the leg, and McNair is plugging along as well as anybody, but they're not putting up Plummer or Manning numbers. That's a fact.

Was Rush boneheaded and walking right into a trap? Yep, but he's still right.

DALLAS -- A high school band director has apologized for a halftime performance that included "Deutschland Uber Alles," the anthem closely associated with Adolf Hitler, and a student running across the field with a Nazi flag.

The Director then said it was bad timing because it was the Jewish New Year.

It was just for historical purposes only and wasn’t created to offend anyone, only to honor the veterans of World War II.

Sorry to have come late to this thread. About the initials on the diamond-shaped patches in the cartoon: it's common practice in monogramming towels, sheets, tote bags, etc. to put the person's last initial in the center and slightly larger than the other two, particularly when the initials are arranged in a diamond pattern. I'm not sure when that custom got started, but it's still listed as an option by both Lands' End and LL Bean on their customer service pages. Not trying to be pedantic-- just remembered that this question came up on an earlier thread about a C & F cartoon. Maybe it's C & F's way of saying that Charles knows how to do things with style!

The "LFG" is not a monogram. The original indymedia thread that this all started from was filled with illiterate morons who couldn't even get the three initials correct. It's nothing but a play on their stupidity. C&F were well aware why they put it LFG instead of LGF.

Your "research" is wrong. I wrote "The Time Machine," not this "Jules Verne" fellow.

I see your links go elsewhere within LGF. Hardly a way to research a possible misappropriation - a recursive search through the source of the original error!

There is a good article about the movie adaptation of my novel here - since it's by John Derbyshire of NRO, and not those communist 5-columnists at Time magazine, Reuters, or the NYT, you may be more inclined to grant it more credibility:

[Link: olimu.com...]

"H.G. Wells’s novel The Time Machine is the greatest of all works of pure science fiction. I read it at age eleven, when I knew little and cared less about the organization of society, and had no patience with preachers of any sort. I fell in love with the book at once. I can still remember its precise position on the shelf in my school library, the color of its binding, and of course the opening sentence: “The Time Traveler (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us...” I have just read it through again, on the Project Gutenberg database. It is a beautiful, beautiful book. At the time I read it, I was so taken by it that I went on a Wells binge, sucking in even those novels of his that were in fact written to make a social point — even The Passionate Friends, which for a time I believed must surely hold the key to all the great mysteries of adult life, but coded in some way inaccessible to me. (Vladimir Nabokov, who knew a thing or two about literature, thought highly of The Passionate Friends.)

The Time Machine is a rather obvious candidate for misinterpretation. The Time Traveler — in one of those touches that make Wells’s early stories glow with creative genius, we never know his name — goes off to the year A.D. 802,701. He finds that the human race has separated into two species: the frivolous, elfin Eloi, who live on the surface of the earth and occupy themselves in childish play, and the Morlocks, a subterranean race of lemur-like creatures, tending the machinery that provides for the needs of the Eloi — not entirely from disinterested motives, as the Eloi constitute their principal food group. Obviously a scathing comment on class relations in late-Victorian England... except that the novel shows no trace of a “position” on this issue, no particular sympathy for either Eloi or Morlock — the Time Traveler comes to regard both with disgust, though the disgusts are of different kinds — and does not take the idea anywhere. It is just something Wells came up with when he tried to imagine what life would be like in the distant future."

----------------

Typical. Your comments show a complete misunderstanding of my work.

Again, the "Morlocks" were cannibals, while the Eloi were pacifists!

As an aside, I should add that if you fantasize about dining on human flash, particularly the flesh of left-leaning peaceniks, then it would be far more appropriate for you to style yourself a "Morlock."

To claim otherwise betrays nothing more than a perverse refusal to understand my novel, or even worse, a deliberate attempt to "re-imagine" its meaning in the postmodern fashion.

To H.G. Wells:

While on a superficial level we might seem like we are violating your intent behind the Morlok and Eloi races, a closer inspection reveals why we choose the term "Morlock" for the LLLs.

Morlocks are loathesome subterranean creatures who cannot bear the light of day, scurrying sporadically to the surface to feed and quickly retreat.

The Morlocks need the Eloi for their continued survival. Though they consume the Eloi, if the Morlocks were ever to destroy the entire Eloi population then the Morlocks, unable to fend for themselves, would helplessly succumb to the real-world consequence of starvation.

The Eloi, despite being pacificsts and sticklers to tradition and superstition, were social beings capable of developing and maintaining a rich culture. While the Morlocks in your novel possessed a superficial form of intelligence that made them good at puzzles and engineering tasks, they were generally mindless, ravenous creatures whose ability to communicate, cooperate, and form societies was little more advanced that of a wolf pack.

Therefore, the minions of the LLL are more akin to Morlocks than to Eloi.

135 Renna  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 12:08:31pm

As for the IndyIdiots bring the Eloi, the "peace" activists and "pacifists" have proven time and again that they are not for peace (as they support the ones who both start the war and keep it going daily), neither are they pacifists (as they have no problem engaging in violence and destruction when it is against America or free markets.) Therefore they best fit the description of the Morlocks.

A United Nations report that calls Israel's security fence "an unlawful act of annexation" is being dismissed by Israel as "biased and one-sided."

The report, released on Tuesday in Geneva, was written after a week-long visit to the West Bank in June by the UN's 'Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories of the Commission on Human Rights,' South African law professor John Dugard.

...Last year, Dugard's released a report on the humanitarian situation in the West Bank and Gaza that blamed Palestinian suicide attacks on Israel's response to terrorism. At the time, the Foreign Ministry's legal advisor Alan Baker called on the UN Human Rights Commission to review Dugard's appointment.

The Morlocks need the Eloi for their continued survival.

--------------

And vice versa. The Eloi were able to enjoy relatively frivolous, effortless and carefree lives precisely because the hard work of the Morlocks sustained the existence of both races.

-----------------

Though they consume the Eloi, if the Morlocks were ever to destroy the entire Eloi population then the Morlocks, unable to fend for themselves, would helplessly succumb to the real-world consequence of starvation.

----------------------

In much the same way, if we humans were to consume the entire chicken, cattle, pig and fish-farm populations, we too might starve.

We do depend on our livestock, much as the Morlocks depended on the Eloi.

---------------------

The Eloi, despite being pacificsts and sticklers to tradition and superstition, were social beings capable of developing and maintaining a rich culture.

---------------------

Nonsense. The Eloi were idlers, star-struck dandies, slackers, living in a sort of infantile trance. Remember when one of the Eloi drowned? The rest simply gazed in wonder and allowed their compatriot to die - the thought of actually lifting a finger to save their fellow Eloi, and so risk drowning, effort, inconvenience themselves, was simply too much even to contemplate.

-----------------------

While the Morlocks in your novel possessed a superficial form of intelligence that made them good at puzzles and engineering tasks,

-----------------------

Superficial? If it wasn't for the Morlocks, the Eloi would have become extinct!

--------------------

they were generally mindless, ravenous creatures whose ability to communicate, cooperate, and form societies was little more advanced that of a wolf pack.

---------------------------

They were able to enslave another race and use it as a food source, all while doing the requisite work to support and maintain their own race as well.

The Morlocks, as a more technologically advanced race, were at the top of the food chain. The Eloi were simply passive food.

It is in the interest of the top predator to ensure that the food supply neither suffers nor dreams of escape.

We know.Who says you can't eat a cannibal and who says we think we are the Eloi?

In my novel "The Time Machine," the Morlocks are technologically superior predators while the Eloi are pacifist daydreamers - glorified livestock.

Nobody says you can't "eat a cannibal," of course.

Widespread cannibalism among our ancestors may have transferred genes to some modern humans which provide protection against so-called prion ailments, such as Creutzfeld Jacob disease, the human variant of "mad cow disease".

The University College of London Science journal has published a study this revealing that some of our prehistoric ancestors are believed to have been frequent consumers of human flesh, which can spread "prion" diseases.

The practice of cannibalism was widespread, and "not just some rarity that happened in New Guinea", study author John Collinge said.

This meant that natural selection allowed the spread of mutant versions of the prion protein genes, which would have given prehistoric humans a better chance of surviving prion disease epidemics.

"What we are showing here is evidence that selection for these polymorphisms (mutations) has been widespread or happened very early in the evolution of modern humans, before human beings spread all over the planet," Mr Collinge said.

-----------------------

As for the IndyIdiots bring the Eloi, the "peace" activists and "pacifists" have proven time and again that they are not for peace (as they support the ones who both start the war and keep it going daily)

I don't know any pacifists who supported the war against Iraq. I take it you mean that they are unwittingly supporting the enemies of civilization? Of course. In my novel, the Eloi too are frivolous, oblivious to the real world, unwilling to fight even to defend themselves, etc.

------------------------

Therefore they best fit the description of the Morlocks.

-- Exploring the pop cultural relations between Mexico and the United States by traveling to fast-food restaurants dressed up as Ronaldo McDonald.

You're correct, of course. Cannibalism can only take place within one species, not between two different species (such as the Morlocks and the Eloi).

Mea Culpa.

As a side note, where does the LGF "Lizardoid" self-designation come from?

Is this some sort of reference to the reptilian brain?

The reptilian brain, the first highly complex neural bundle to appear in evolutionary history, supports the basic physiological functions; circulation, respiration, digestion, elimination. It is also involved in mating and territorial behavior; pecking order, defense, aggression and the emotions of anger and fear. In the human being it sits atop the spinal cord and while it has evolved from its original form in lizards and snakes it performs similar functions while at the same time communicating with the two subsequently developing brains, the limbic and the neocortical.

You always were naive about the Reds, H.G.

Consider:

The morlocks lived underground; the indymediots refer to themselves as an underground.

The morlocks had technology; indymediocy is based on this marvelous 21st century "internet" contraption (even though their server seems to be powered by 12 volt organic solar-cells hung from the roof of the unabomber's outhouse).

The morlocks preyed on vapid and intellectually defenseless eloi, the indymediots prey on vapid and intellectually defenseless college students.

The morlocks hated the light of day, the indymediots hate the Enlightenment.

The morlocks butchered their victims, the indymediots support Muslim butchers.

The morlocks were of proletarian descent, the indymediots claim to speak for the proletariat.

The morlocks lived on eloi flesh; indymediots live on similarly repulsive fare like kit-kat bars and patchouli oil.

Identifying them as morlocks does not imply that we are the eloi; far from it.
LGFers are to morlocks as morlocks are to eloi.

I followed #92 OT link about the letters to God that end up in Jerusalem and just about fell off my chair as I read:

"Dear Sir," begins one letter whose address reads "God of Israel" and whose request is for assistance landing a job as a bulldozer driver.

Is it me or is that just way too funny?

I have a bone to pick with the Many Faces of Ed Moran. Damnit, it's cold here in the upper Midwest - you're f'ing up big time, Mr!

Please don't overdo the Morlock munching, because it's a known fact that too much Morlock has the same effect as eating a head of cabbage or a can of beans. They're filled with so much hot air that overingestion of an LLL may lead to embarassment at work tomorrow.

170 Spiny Norman  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 3:38:48pm

Eric Blair,

It would seem our pedantic HG Wells impersonator has no sense of humor.

We are mocking the simple minded scheming fools that like to style themselves as an "underground movement", and that they are fond of accusing us of being blood-thirsty reptilian monsters.

I believe they got that part came from unfunny comedienne Janine Garafalo's astounding discovery that in the dictionary, "republican" comes just before "repugnant" and "reptile".

BTW, it is remarkable that a century-old sci-fi novel is still such a good read. As a general rule, nothing seems so dated as the previous generation's vision of the future.

171 Spiny Norman  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 3:43:42pm

Donna V.,

They're filled with so much hot air that overingestion of an LLL may lead to embarassment at work tomorrow.

Thank God I work at home.

Unfortunately, I work too close to the fridge: I have decided that the combination of quitting smoking and working from home have some rather "unfortunate" consequences...

174 Ms. Andi  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 4:13:19pm

Why not have the morlock's gamy buttucks in a French dish? (especially if he's French) Perhaps a coubiliac. I would imagine the gamy buttocks wraped in a brioche pastry with a beurre blanc sauce and a side of steamed ISM toes a gastronomic feast. Bon Appetite!

175 cba  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 4:32:17pm

#171 Spiny Norman:

Congrats on quitting! If you need some support staying quit, try the WhyQuit site.

It seems like a number of LGFers have recently quit or are thinking about it. Maybe they should form a support group.

BTW, to head off your question: no, I never smoked myself, at least not actively. However, I grew up a passive smoker since my mother wouldn't even tell us how many packs a day she smoked. She still smokes on the sly and will probably continue to do so until she finally succumbs to emphysema (only 2% more of her lung function to go and then she's there). So the whole smoking topic is a bit personal to me, and I'm thrilled when people quit--especially people I care for.

176 cba  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 4:56:07pm

Charles, it seems that someone is yet again posting your articles on Indymedia with the implication that it's you. You're probably already on top of this, but I thought I'd mention it.

177 Spiny Norman  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 5:15:57pm

Donna V., cba,

Thankee muchly. :^)

Honestly, quitting was pretty easy... this time. Not like the first time I tried, about 4 years ago. I just didn't have any desire for cigarettes anymore. I just got to the point where I couldn't stand the smell or the taste of them. I only had nicotine cravings for a couple of weeks, and that was it. It's been about 8 months now.

Back to the thread:

This reminds me of the recipe for planked Cal-Sag carp from my yout':

-Fillet one carp, preferably caught near the Laflin Street
storm drain.
-Get a cedar plank, about 4" by 12" by 3/4".
-Cover the plank with sliced onions, chopped garlic, minced celery, chopped oregano and parsley, thin sliced tomato and zucchini, chopped red and green pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
-Arrange carp fillets on vegetables and brush with melted butter.
-Bake at 450 degrees until fish is flaky.
-Throw away the carp and eat the plank.

Seriously, I was 22 years old, and he died in my arms at the hospital. I myself will smoke an occasional cigar, but cigarettes are like huffing off a roofer's tar bucket.
And I swear that the enjoyment comes after the addiction, so why start?

Plus, a recording of a long term smoker coughing his lungs out in the morning....... well, enough said.

183 Nony Mouse  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 5:53:15pm

159, 170 etc.

It has always struck me as the height of arrogance to claim to know what the author "really meant" without a record of some sort from the author to back up a claim.
That being said, I'd always kind of hoped to already be somewhere besides haunting chat rooms over 50 years after I died.

BTW, Spiny, Have you read Paris in the Twentieth Century by Verne? It's... somewhat creepy, in how close to the mark it was, written a century earlier.

184 Paul  Wed, Oct 1, 2003 6:00:59pm

OT I guess: "The Time Machine" was one of my first boyhood science fiction reads. The part I remember best is not the Morlock/Eloi conflict (labor vs. capital?)but the Time Traveler's voyage to the end of Time and a dying Earth. Wells wrote a number of stories that were made into movies of mixed quality: "The War of the Worlds", "The Island of Dr. Moreau", "The Invisible Man", "The Shape of Things to Come", etc. He's still a good read.

Meanwhile, we're expecting frost tonight in the benighted suburbs of Milwaukee. Winter's coming Donna V.

The LFG arose from the dyslexic Indymediots. It's another (semi) subtle slam on the goofballs.

#125   HG Wells

And you obviously don't understand that the IndyMediot types are hardly pacificists. Most of their demonstrations end in violence of one kind of another. At a guess, their most recent Hollywood demonstration probably lead to the anti-semitic, neo-nazi grafitti spray painted throughout Beverly Hills.

Additionally, the Indymediot types typically idolize those who could, at a stretch, be charcterized as cannibals. (Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Mihn) Mass murderers at the very least. Beginning to sound like your Morlocks now?

----------------------

The civil rights marches in the 1960s often ended in violence too. The black wannabe-voters got german shepards and firehoses sicc'ed on 'em; nowadays the SF hippy dippy "yoga for world peace" types get rubber bullets and tear gas shot at'em in Oakland.

So, I guess if you want to argue that yoga enthusiasts (or negroes) possess some sort of supernatural personal magnestism that compels hapless riot police to respond to their presence with overwhelming force, then yeah, they're pretty violent.

On a more serious note, the peace marches in SF last spring were not (except for in scattered pockets of fringe types) violent at all. Out of 100,00 people there were 200 violent ones causing minor vandalism, breaking windows, knocking over garbage cans and graffitti tagging Starbucks? That's better odds than the average rock concert or football game.

--------------------

At a guess, their most recent Hollywood demonstration probably lead to the anti-semitic, neo-nazi grafitti spray painted throughout Beverly Hills.

I would guess that you are responsible for the anti-semitic, neo-nazi grafitti spray painted throughout Beverly Hills. Of course since I have no evidence for this assertion, it remains mere wishful thinking. Thus my use of the word "guess."

------------------

(Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Mihn) Mass murderers at the very least.

Idi Amin was a cannibal the rest are mass murderers and dictators.

I should add, BTW, that I know about as many leftists who admire these people as you know rightists who admire Rudolph Hess or Adolf Hitler, that is to say, none at all.

---------------------

Beginning to sound like your Morlocks now?

No. They sound like Eloi.

191 leopard_dog - eloi eater  Thu, Oct 2, 2003 12:03:00pm

Dear unknown person who's calling him(her)self HG Wells,

I'm starting to worry about your fixation. You are not HG Wells and you did not write those books.

You've worked yourself into quite a tizzy over LGF'ers using the term Morlocks. Almost demanding that those here submit to your interpretation of who should be called "morlocks" or "eloi". You are not going to get these folks to agree to use the labels like you want them to use the labels.

Take a deep breath and say over and over "I am not HG Wells"

If that does not seem to help, please seek professional counseling.

Allow me to introduce you to the

quote tag.

You might find it useful.

What an interesting analogy. Civil Rights protestors of the 60's seeking to gain rights and civil rights protestors of the new millenium seeking withold rights from the Iraqis. Very nice!

So, I guess if you want to argue that yoga enthusiasts (or negroes) possess some sort of supernatural personal magnestism that compels hapless riot police to respond to their presence with overwhelming force, then yeah, they're pretty violent.


WOW! Rubber bullets have become overwhelming force hmm? oooooooookay. Interupting supplies going to our forces overseas steps over the boundry of peaceful protest into the arena of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. In my book the police showed remarkable restraint.

I would guess that you are responsible for the anti-semitic, neo-nazi grafitti spray painted throughout Beverly Hills. Of course since I have no evidence for this assertion, it remains mere wishful thinking. Thus my use of the word "guess."


IndyMediot types
Israel = Nazi IndyMediot Types
Ignoring the truth IndyMediot Types

Idi Amin was a cannibal the rest are mass murderers and dictators.


can·ni·bal n.
1) A person who eats the flesh of other humans.
2) An animal that feeds on others of its own kind.

I submit that my definition is correct. Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Mihn, Mao Zedong were all animals feeding on their own kind.

Oh yeah, always sweetness and light from the pacifistic Eloi victocracy.

Did I waste entirely too much time on you "H.G. Wells"? You betcha!

H.G. Wells!

Old Chap! How are you!

Good to see you have joined the ranks of the living dead and are commenting again. Or are you merely commenting from your time machine?

What is more important, have you heard anything from dearest Rebecca West? We would like to hear more from her. Finished reading her book "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon". Great read. Brought the slaughter and loss of civilization in the Balkans much nearer to home. Especially the part about the vanishing Jews.

You do remember the Charming Ms. Rebecca West?
Do you not?

If not we might think you were just another silly eloi trying to channel the spirit of poor old Mr. Wells from the beyond. And that would be a shame now would it not?

the dark riders

P.S. we think morlock or eloi with lots of garlic, tszatziki, retsina and an ouzo would be quite tasty!
Yammas!
