Eloquence defined.

Is this the part where I list my accomplishments/talk about how big time I am to prove I’m not retarded? (see post 15).

Retard was in reference to your retarded comment comparing their musical talent to this “if you also like your mechanic doing your taxes” That was a retarded statement said by someone that was acting retarded at the moment. Its ok you will pull through it happens to everyone.

My comment stemmed from your well-thought and articulate conclusion that I might be ‘retarded’. It was a play on how we determine retardation in this string.

Explaining satire is always a treat – especially with the surplus of irony surrounding my alleged retardation.

btw; i love drugs and dont mind in the least their use at any concert. I might think differently if I one day have a daughter at said shows, but for now; let it ride.

No I don’t think your sweeping generalization is completely false it may be more true then false but I do think Phish is great and I know many other really good people “law abiding citizens” or not, that do as well. Personally I could care less about what other people are doing at a concert they should have the right to do whatever they like. I don’t pick or choose the music I like based on the people that show up to the concerts. Drug and alcohol use is a staple at 100 percent of music concerts should we all of them? It became personal when you directed it at me with “Its science. Good call D,” acting like no one could possibly enjoy their music without being faced.

Whoa! It wasn’t personal. I dont know you, but you apparently know me based on 100 words of satire, so thats cool.

It was absolutely a sweeping generalization…one that I stand behind. Every rule has an exception, and your diatribe certainly is exceptional. If you truly believe that Phish shows are pretty run of the mill when it comes to drug use and the consequences therein, I guess this debate is at an impasse.

Carl,
drug-phueled date rape :
That would work if I in fact did any drugs which I don’t period.
Overwhelming stench of underachievementor:
This would work if I didn’t put myself through college and now hold a full time job with full benefits and salary that is far beyond the National average with a fortune 500 company that is paying for me to get my master which will be done by summer, while at the same time moving into my newly built home paid for entirely by me and no one else. I am 27 years old and must admit I do pfeel totally groovy and very fortuante especially do to the economic times we are currently experiencing. However your narrow minded ignorance is far worse then anything I have ever seen at a Phish show, even the worst of the worst stuff like 3am around a Nitrous oxide Tank last night of a festival kind of bad you my friend are a joke and very pathetic. You have every right to dislike or like any music you want, and you even can make broad sweeping generalizations that are incorrect you just look stupid when you do.

“Jackson’s passions lie; not with the struggles of our time.” (This sounds like a personal problem to me.)

I’ve heard the AMA is now testing phor retardation by putting babies in the phront row of Phish concerts. If they stay conscious despite the overwhelming stench of underachievement, drug-phueled date rape and abandoned personal hygene, yet do not pfeel totally groovy, they are in phact – retarded. Its science. Good call D.

Wow. This much commentary relating to some Phish shows? I guess we know where Jackson’s passions lie; not with the struggles of our time.

And I know a show is a huge scene with a great communal vibe, but – and I’m hitting the hive with a stick here – the actual music is horrible. Playing a vacuum? Ridiculous. Band swapping instruments? I guess…if you also like your mechanic doing your taxes. Commence hippie scorn…
