Californians are self obsessed and soul less? It’s just like the east side!
These aren’t Californians, these are Trojans.
When there are tons of people around and no one is recognized to be in charge or a leader, diffusion of responsibility is very common.
People just need to be educated that this frequently happens, espeically in large groups, and the best thing to do is just take charge (people in large groups are afraid of taking charge).
@3, I have found this to be the case in many situations I have been in; fighting Daleks and the like. I just say “I’m the Doctor, that’s why you’re going to follow me!” And it works brilliantly!!
@4 – It’s a little early in the day for someone to already be this boring on Slog. Maybe give it a rest until after lunch?
Sheesh, MacCrocodile, who didn’t get their morning nookie?
Oh, come on, Canuck – we’ve got enough crazies around here without 12-year-olds pretending to be “time lords.”
Speed Walker collapsed? That’s too bad. Hope he pulls through alright.
You’re right, Canuck; no nookie yet today. Also, I was only about halfway through my coffee when I read the third post about being a time lord. After lunch, though, I can take all the crazy in the world.
@9, Go fuck yourself in a corner. That should pick you right up. (fucking cunt)
I’d gladly take a bullet for Bill Nye. Get well soon, Science Guy! The children of America need you now more than ever.
Bill! 🙁 I hope he is okay.
“Alastair Fairbanks”? Is he majoring in Country Club Administration? Or Professional Supervillany?
I think this LA Times quote is the first step in a long road towards having his short fiction published in the New Yorker.
@1, is that John Keister? I’d think you’d be more concerned with your friend instead of cracking wise with those hilarous regional jokes. Hey, how does California compare with Renton?
He should have collapsed at UCLA. My cute niece is pre-med there, and she knows Industrial First Aid.
@10: Why lash out with written insults? Just go back in time and kill Mommy MacCroc. Or Grampy MacCroc. DONE!
@16 – Ow! My causality! There’s no need to kill my family. I’ve been thoroughly put in my place with that snappy comeback of his.
But hey, at least I’ve earned one of those People Hate Me On Slog buttons, right?
@ 15, uh what?
@18, Will is just letting everybody know he wants to bone his niece, in case there are any of us who haven’t had their recommended daily dose of GAH for the day.
@6, there was morning nookie? And you guys took it all. God damn it, it’s like the doughnuts, they’re always all gone by the time I come around.
@19 – neener neener neener. Early bird gets the … um. Never mind.
