What is your intent in posting to this forum?

 

[Rusty Tyler]

I've asked you several times what your intent is in posting to this forum. Are you just aping for attention or are you serious?

I get paid per view. 36k+ by now. - LOL

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Imagine?
All sorts of things can be imagined.
I imagine that Noah's ark was found on Mt. Ararat in Turkey.
Does that make it true?

You could imagine that, but if you believed it you'd be making yourself look ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ stupid since even Young Earth Creationists recognise it as a natural rock formation.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Ignore?
The "new information" you presented was a random rearrangement of existing material.

No, it was not.
Absolutely not.

Tell me: if an engineer had an only nearly unlimited number of parts of all shapes and sizes, types and properties, and they could build as many machines interacting as they want, having billions of years to do so: would there be a limit to the possible number of complex production chains they could come up with?

 

[jimbob]

It's not new if it involves rearranging existing material.

And?

How does that idiotic claim advance your contention that the only sensible explanation is a creator deity?

 

[Carrot Flower King]

A variation is not new information.

I mean, when I was playing Bach's Goldberg Variations earlier today ALL the sections sounded IDENTICAL!

What a fraud that JS Bach was!

Anyway, off to give King Crimson's Fracture a spin (essentially Fripp improvising atonally with a Paganini moto perpetuo as a starting point)...

Did natural rock formation produce new material?

I prefer early KC.
In the Court of the Crimson King and In the Wake of Poseidon.

It's a YES/NO question.

 

[JayUtah]

It's a YES/NO question.

So is, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

 

[Carrot Flower King]

In the Court of the Crimson King and In the Wake of Poseidon.

It's the Fripp/Bruford/Wetton line up for me, with obvious added David Cross and Jamie Muir, culminating in the utterly explosively inimitable Red.

 

[jimbob]

Apropos of nothing.

Anyone fancy a game of pigeon chess?

 

[sinnikal]

Discipline, for me, is peak Crimson. Belew added so much to that lineup.

Anyone fancy a game of pigeon chess?

Or Mornington Crescent ?

Or Mornington Crescent ?

That is frowned upon now

[P.J. Denyer]

What if the pigeon wins? - LOL

You won't.

 

[Helen]

Have we reached 'playing chess with a pigeon' yet?

I would put my money on "home-schooled by a pigeon.

Really, Rusty, this thread is full of information that is new to you, even though the letters used to write that new information are not.

(Besides, 26 letters? A little too parsimonious, don't you think? Add another three, å, ä, and ö, and you will get wondrous new words with your wondrous new letters! Or why not go completely crazy, and try out a logographic alphabet? Or use phonetics!)

Meany!

Just because you were found out in a flagrant disregard for not reversing your Widmerpool's inverse isosceles and then doubled down on it by trying to make a lateral shift out of turn and jump from Enfield High Street to Denmark Hill without stopping at Onslow Gardens! Heretic!

So "◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ stupid" it is then. Well done.
