Deceived I may be, but at least I weigh a healthy 138 lbs!!!
That's right. No more Mr. Skinny.

How easily you are deceived Raja!

How is blog not real human interaction? I feel interactive. I really do!

Well take comfort Madame... you will soon be home, safe and sound, with plenty of interesting human interaction to take part in.... *yeah*

Bah. Electronic communication is simply human interaction without having to put up with somebody's odour.

Right. So human contact. I find it odd that often when I feel lonely or isolated, rather than getting out of this little cage I call home, I check the blog circuit to see if anyone has posted. I don't actually go out into the real world, where I can engage in real interaction with real human beings. No. I sit at my computer and wait for someone hundreds of kilometres away, who could, for all I know, be a randomly generated AI program, to post some empty words on an empty website that I can read on my empty monitor with my empty mind. Long and short, when did I learn to mistake electronic communication for human interaction?

Note to self: write about human contact and virtual reality when sarah is less wrapped up in learning another way to interpret and symbolically represent reality.

Isn't it interesting how the word grade so closely resembles the word grave?

I'm bored. But I have nothing socially constructive to say. Am i still allowed to comment? hehehe

I agree with Andrea, I DO love my advent calendar, but I must admit, I DO miss the good old double-door chocolate days.

My apologies. I never intended for the underground to become so dank. Thank you for your help and support over the past few days. Also, we should probably back down on Raja. I believe I may be traumatizing the poor child. Now hopefully we can all put my transgression behind us. I would like to know why one might consider my ass-kicking comment to violate my site philosophy. Also, I think most holidays have been co-opted by capitalism, at least in North America. Nonetheless, they do still retain some sentimental, emotional, and spiritual value, unless, of course, you suffer from a permanent state of grinch-scrooge-shrunken-heart syndrome.

Must these posts always end up being so negative? I happen to quite enjoy my advent calendar! Geez! Maybe I shouldn't take anthropology. It seems to ruin a lot of things.

Sometimes I question how well you really know Sarah, Raja. And this is only after a few blog entries. Them's fightin words, boy, and I'm on Sarah's side.
Going back to advent calendars and Sarah. Having just written my Anthropology exam, I've decided that advent calanders are all about capitalism and making children into consumers. If you start them off at a young age, you're set for life. And the calander makers are getting stingier. Does anyone else remember when the 24th was an extra-large chocolate with double doors? I do. It was more climatic that way. So really, all it boils down to is indoctrinating kids into consumerist culture and since the double doors no longer exist, it really doesn't matter what order you eat the chocolates in as long as you buy, Buy, BUY!

That's a bit of a departure from your philosophy for the site, now isn't it Sarah?

I kick ass. I kick ass all over the place. What's that? I kicked your ass? Damn right I did. I kick ass so bad I leave boot marks. And I don't even wear boots.

humm, so if everyone could abstract the absract out of their lives, and post it here... that's be great! (note the intricate use of abstract as both a verb, and a noun - I'm awfully proud of myself for that one... hehe)

This site is rapidly degenerating. If it doesn't stop I'm going to start deleting people. This is a threat. Perhaps some of you don't understand the philosophy of this site. This site is not intended to be a locale for direct conversation, inside jokes, or childishness and pettiness. My site philosophy is abstract. I started the underground for the abstract discussion of ideas. If you don't agree with my philosophy, frankly, I don't want to deal with you within the context of this site.

ok

Hey Ciara? Bite me.

If you're revolting against revolt that makes you the man. And you know what we do to the man, don't you? We either stick it to the man, or we damn the man. So there are your choices. Either you're going to get stuck or suffer eternal damnation. Well that's the last time you're going to hi-jack this show. Frankly I'm bored of this subject. I don't think we ever actually established what it was that we were revolting against to begin with. If it was the establishment, most of us definitely had no role in establishing. Maybe it was just against Raja in general. I think that's it. Well I think I've proven my influence with him. Revolution successful.

Oh great! Who invited Anna? Don't you know nobody likes her? Geez.

Also. It's people who question that stop revolutions (I have no problems with you though, I've never met you)

Hello Raja - just to let you know, in my previous experience with Sarah, she's pretty good at being snippy - do you really want to get to three? I don't think I doubt that she'd shoot you, she's a snarky one!

Hi Anna. I hope the totalitarian maiden here doesn't give you the wrong impression. I'm merely serving as a rebellious foil to her own intentions of rebellion. The Ostrich Underground and all that. If you're revolting against revolt, does it truly make you revolutionary?

Oh look it's an Anna! Anna meet... um... Raja. You know everyone else. If you see a random name you don't recognize it's probably just Asim masquerading as, well, anything. Speaking of which, BOY! Have you fallen off the face of the planet or what? Also, Raja, you seem very tempted to test me. I don't understand this desire to play with fire. It's not even real fire. Go buy a pack of matches or something. You're at two and a half.

yay!! i did it!!!

allo?

Oh yes, and you may silence the B------, but its spirit will live on in our hearts.
And in our butts.

"Reconstruction first requires destruction; else it is but a novel, vapid genesis."

- Jasdave Chahal, "The Wandering Whisperers"

It seems you can teach old Raja's new tricks. Well done boy. And I don't know if I'm really up for killing the United states, as tempting as it sounds. Can we just threaten the root of the problem instead? I'm sure there are lots of splendid people in the United States of America. Matt Kennedy Gould for example. I say we just tear down the walls of the capitalist mode of production and reconstruct our reality. No violence, rioting, looting, or overthrowing necessary, just good clean reconstruction.

Well, yes, I suppose anarchy is a state of being, however, it would likely include some sort of overthrow of government establishment since you can't really have government in anarchy, and that would land me in Edmonton, where, yes, I would still get paid, but it would be like boot camp for years and years without select weekends off.

hehe, yes, my reaction matched that of Sarah... for about 5 minutes... couldn't stop laughing... I just wanted to thank you Ciara for that... it was just great...
also... Death to the United States.
:)

I'm not gay. I'm not. There's just no way around it. I'm completely hetero-flarking-sexual. I'm so unclosetted that I have trouble finding my clothes in the morning. Much to the ladies' delight.
Because I'm not gay.
This Murphy character certainly isn't drowning in my affections right now, I guarantee. I bite my thumb at thee!

I'm laughing so hard I may injure myself. Is Raja gay? Seems to be the question of the hour! Raja I'll let you field this one. Anarchy is not a crime. It's not even something you commit. Anarchy is a state of freedom from rules. You can live in anarchy and still not be committing any conventional crimes. And thank you, Chelsea, for catapulting us into the ranks of a terrorist website. Well I suppose with a name like the Ostrich Underground I have already determined that fate. We'll liberate the world from the bottom down!

Is Raja gay? And I'm not allowed to commit the crime of anarchy. Kinda like mutiny.

Well really... legality is only bound by the ability to get caught... and which member of a major policing organizatin is going to read this... unless they perform mass searches of the web... and even then, I'm pretty sure they're only looking for words like 'kill America', 'bomb the yanks' and 'I'm a terrorist'... so.. so long as those words aren't on your site.. you should be fine.

I don't think threats of bodily harm are legal anywhere, including here. Speaking of which, Raja, that was two. Anyway, no, i'm pretty sure there are still some general legal boundaries constraining our partayage. However, we could just disregard legality all together and go for anarchy! Hooray for anarchy. As you can probably tell I'm all for the anarchy. Nice friendly anarchy.

I'll bring the buttsex. hehe.

Are threats legal on blogs? Does being here place us outside the law? Because if it does, it's partay time!

Hehe, public scoldings... :) Yes yes, I take joy in other people's mildly funny misfortunes.... only the mild ones though.

Please note: the aforementioned little story was not intended in any way to incite violence against animals, women, or Rajas. Well maybe a little against Rajas. But other than that, I am generally and specifically against violence. In fact I don't agree with any of the themes or morals presented in the little story, I just think it is an effective way to scare certain boys who will not be named *cough*Raja*cough* straight.

Right. So, this is Raja. Raja may not be staying on the underground very long. Raja, let me tell you a little story. Once there was this dude who went to a village and married some chick. On the way back to the dude's village the chick wouldn't stop talking shit. Then their donkey started braying. The dude says "that was one." The donkey brays again. The dude says "that was two." The dude says "That was three." The donkey brays again. The dude shoots the donkey in the head. As soon as this happens the chick starts screaming at the dude. When she finishes her tirade, the dude looks at her and says "That was one." Raja, that was one.

I often find that dead men make for lively conversation.
Familiar: originally of the latin root "familae" meaning to "frame as in a picture" and "liare" meaning "lies to you". Overall, it means that your family is lying to you, and that you are adopted.

Thanks for inviting me!

(Buttsex.)

After forcing myself to be recluse and having several conversations with dead men, I found myself desperately craving human contact. Of course this craving was compounded by my general craving for more familiar contact. Note to self: inquire into the etymology of familiar.

That's true, we don't pick on her. Heaven forbid we should actually do something to counter her... well I don't know what to call it really... just her I guess. I sometimes feel bad that we don't do more... that in the name of social decency, we pretend to be complacent and pretend to do the princesses biddings... that we don't downright revolt in the face of tyranny as I have always imagined I would, when faced with it. But then I suppose a quiet sort of revolt is better for these situations than downright mutiny... I suppose.

I had two dreams last night, or rather this morning, while I slept. The first was that the princess threw out our potatoes because they were half rotten. This is absurd because said potatoes are dehydrated. The second was that I was smoking a joint made from a paper straw. Apparently this was my second joint, because the officer decided to arrest me rather than being lenient on a first time offender. I guess I have a subliminal drug habit. The dream was interrupted by my alarm clock, which happened to be playing "I'm Not an Addict".

Well if the princess was nicer and had some sense of social decency we would stop picking on her. We don't really pick on her though. She exacts her tight-assed wrath on us and then we are forced to bring the proverbial it. You do realize that the princess is a real person, yes?

Why does everyone always have to pick on the princess?

Why spanks Andrea. In light of recent events this makes me feel much better. There seem to be renewed talks of treason. Will there be an uprising? Shall the downtrodden triumph? Fell the princess! Knock her down! Bite her ankles!

I don't think a tendancy to strong reactions can be considered either an asset or a liability. I agree that it certainly is not something that one should feel the need to apologize for. I would like to say that while you may react strongly I have never known you to overreact. There is a fine line between the two.

Yes, you (yes that's right - you) do seem to have a tendency (meaning a characteristic likelihood) towards long-windedness, don't you (meaning not me)?

Well that was rather long-winded.
