Hey! I think I remember that one (the sexy pirate). Yeah, right, you're dowdy!!! I think the illusion is in your head. Me wants sexy Em. Um, pix of sexy Em.

Oh honey, I don't think you'll object to this one





Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Wow, it's good to see you, too Emma! I haven't been around for a spell, so I can't tell if you have or not; but thanks for the greeting.

I would love to go to some of the UK shindigs--but being that that would involved trans-Atlantic flights, I'm not sure I can afford to do so! But if I'm ever in the neighborhood, we'll have to see how many UK Browncoats we can get together.

*resolves not to engage in any more RWED discussions*

Now I gotta go read what they did to my philosopher buddy. Hope there wasn't much blood.



Nope, they weren't mean. And no, not a drop of blood. But basically, it was just an exercise in futility. I ask questions requesting justifications for grandiose claims (e.g. "Everything in the universe is either physical or imaginary") and get nonsense in return (e.g. "Everything that exists is real and everything real exists") (well, I guess not nonsense per se, but definitely tautology, which is almost as bad). Basically, the deal was that I tried to engage in a philosophical discussion against an unarmed (but supremely confident) opponent, which is just never fun. In the future I'll stay here--posting photos and looking at the pretties.

And plotting world domination.

But as philosophers, if we are taught ologies, how could we ever discuss anything?

I'm always ready and willing to discuss, as long as time and work permits. (philosophers need work permits?) I promise not to be unarmed although occasionally I might bring a shiv to a nuke fight...

Yeah, about that...now that I see it in print, it looks like we're going steady. I mean I like you and all, but not that way.

Oh, sorry, I got hopelessly confused. I was sure I'd recognised you from last year's Firefly con in London (as well as from our many fun encounters on the board!) I'd completely forgotten that you're not from around my parts, despite the not unsubtle clues in your sig! My brain's not working so well today!

On another subject, thanks PR for finding one of the few piccies of me that I really like! And I'm touched that you went to the effort of saving/ remembering it.

Awww, no trouble. I have a lil virtual scrapbook for my Browncoats, and that was my favorite pic of you so it's the one I saved. You have such a great smile!

I am hoping you'll bring your camera to D*C Rose..I'm betting with your skills you might even be able to get a decent shot of me:)

Nope! Won't be bringing my camera.






I'll be bringing my mom's camera. It holds more pics and is just much higher quality.

Did I scare you?
