I'm afraid it isn't - that site is mostly comprised of those who were booted from DU as too radical or too divisive for Skin's sanitarium. They are the worst of the worst, the nastiest, moonbattiest primitives alive. Where Skin's island is lush and green with enough coconuts to feed its inhabitants, and enough natural resources to house the primitives and allow them to build elaborate bonfires, PI is a rocky outcropping far off the shore with a couple of shrubs for cover. These primitives live on dead fish that float ashore, all bloated and rotten and stinking from decay, and they build their huts and fires from whatever broken, waterlogged, wood floats over as well - mostly refuse from Skin's island.

It makes the inhabitants unhappy. - They remember better times - bigger bonfires, fresh food, proper shelter, and realize how 'good they had it'. Then they gaze over their rocky home, and smell rotted fish and mold in the air--Then they gaze at each other and see their famished bellies, their mud covered faces, and scabby arms and legs from slipping on the moldy rocks beneath them. They see no one dances at their bonfires save for the same few they see day in and day out - They then sob quietly to themselves. Alas !

So, they vow revenge on their former home - to burn it to the ground. To leave the surviving inhabitants of DU nothing but rocks, burnt waterlogged timber, and dead fish. Such is the primitive way - to create equality by ruining life for everyone else, instead of doing the harder thing - working to improve their own lives and the lives of those they care for.

 


Why can't the DUmmies write like that....It was very readable, entertaining....Oh never mind...They're DUmmies

Damn, sir, I can't tell you how good that is.

That is awesome.

<<getting together a creative staff for when I get around to winning the Powerball, and have a musical comedy about Skins's island produced.

Excellent!! And metaphorically dead on target!

Thank you both - flash of inspiration and all that.. Though (obviously) the imagery is heavily borrowed from franksolich's own words and descriptions of Skin's Island. PI is just a small chapter in a much larger book.

I am quite happy that the metaphoric description was successful. I was afraid it wouldn't be clear.

Edit: and thanks to Ree :)

 is as was pointed out to me in another thread: at least one of those on that list (the second from the top, by the way) likes to Google their own username in narcissistic ecstasy to see what they've posted, and what others post about them on the internet.

I wouldn't doubt that more than the one on that list does the same thing. This is sure to catch their attention.

Be ready...

Then let's keep ridiculing drunken ol' Nance Greggs...and the spider bots from google, etc. will do the rest.

Nice catch, Kimberly.

It reminded me of archaeologist accounts I've read of the destruction of the Easter Islands.  Inter-tribal war, drought, and famine... pretty soon, there were few islanders left and the ones that survived degenerated into an extreme subsistence-level existence.

The Powerball jackpot for this coming Saturday evening is "$61,000,000", of which one gets circa $20,000,000 after all is said and done.

If I win, Freeper and miskie here go on the payroll of a production staff (which includes P-J Comix, Charles Henrickson, and Paul Heinzman) to create a musical comedy about the primitives on Skins's island, for Broadway and film.

The comedy is already written....all you need do is to set it to music.

Of course, madam.

When I win the Powerball, I'm going to make you a star.

Acting is tough, arduous work demanding much self-discipline and reliability.

That means none of the primitives could possibly play themselves; I would have to look around for decent and civilized people to play the primitives.

I could assist on the music bit as well, as I had Cowritten a Children's Musical while in college. I had written all the music for it - thirteen songs worth, and assorted short musical interludes for different characters.

Hey, as I'm now a cantor in my Catholic church, maybe I could do some singing.

I could bring a kick-ass soprano with us (my wife and daughter are the "us") to do some of the singing, too . . . The young woman that "mentored" me through my "training."  (No, there was nothing sexual there.)

No, not a good fit, sir.

There's only so much in the budget for pillows, and you'd need lots and lots of pillows.

The budget could be busted by the expenses for pillows.

I'm still thinking.  There's a thread about this, stickied to the top of this forum right now.
