Yesterday, Monday, happened one of those things that gave me an urge to kick a cat across the river.
No, not really; I've never in my life hit a person or an animal.
But man, sometimes dealing with the primitives--and on their own turf, even--is like playing chess with a retard.
As some might have noticed, I was absent most of yesterday, because I was hanging around Skins's island. When I hang with the primitives, I have to drive 6 or 8 or 42 or 131 miles away from here, so as to be on a computer better suited for moling, than this one. I've never logged onto Skins's island from this computer here at home. I've lurked there from here, but never logged on from here.
Anyway, as nearly all here know, the primitives and elmers are on constant alert to detect moles in their midst.
Before I continue, I must define, because "mole" is overused.
A "troll" is someone who lands ashore Skins's island to disrupt, to discombobulate, to disarray.
A "mole" is someone who sneaks onto Skins's island for surreptitious reasons, usually quite reasonable ones, such as scientific research, and who does nothing to reveal his persona.
A troll wants the primitives to know he's no primitive, and makes no bones about who he is.
A mole wants the primitives to think he's a fellow primitive, and thus uses deception.
Okay.
Trolls are another issue altogether; this is about moles.
For years I've watched the primitives and now the elmers, try to detect moles in their midst.
These--these--these peop--er, primitives, are really stupid.
And they amazingly appear to think decent and civilized people are stupider than they are.
As I said, it's like playing chess with a retard.
They seem to think that those of us have moles that express our honest sentiments on Skins's island, and hence concentrate their attention on those among them who (they think) are most like us. If the tool of a mole is "deception," there's no way in Hell franksolich, for example, is going to be franksolich on Skins's island.
In fact, to survive as a mole, it's necessary for franksolich to deceive, to be on Skins's island nothing like franksolich is here, or in real life.
Here, and in real life, franksolich is an enthusiastic advocate for life.....and so it logically follows that franksolich's mole on Skins's island is a rabid promoter of infanticide.....so as to deceive.
Here, and in real life, franksolich is an enthusiastic advocate for promoting liberty and democracy throughout the world by the United States taking an active, vigorous, incessant role in both external and internal affairs of countries more backward than we.....and so it logically follows that franksolich's mole on Skins's island is a rabid isolationist.....so as to deceive.
Here, and in real life, franksolich loathes the current occupant of the White House, and heartily hopes he gets sent into retirement next year.....and so it logically follows that franksolich's mole on Skins's island is a rabid 0bamaite.....so as to deceive.
Here, and in real life, franksolich is an enthusiastic advocate for limited government and as few taxes as possible.....and so it logically follows that franksolich's mole on Skins's island is a rabid pro-government, pro-tax, primitive.....so as to deceive.
The primitives are scurrying around looking for franksolich on Skins's island.....the problem (for them) being that they're looking for one of their own who most resembles franksolich as franksolich is here.
Geezuz.
And the primitives (and elmers) have the chutzpah to think we're the stupid ones here?
Damn.
