October Stundie Finals

[defaultdotxbe]

i voted for 14 because no one else mentioned voting for it, and "that’s what’s known as dustification" as if its a real, scientific, process just amuses me so

 

[BazBear]

I'm going to have to go with #8 (hard as it is, I always try to just choose one). I hadn't previously heard of a conspiracy theory that tries to tie the Jesuits to the Mossad about anything...let alone ABOUT THE TITANIC!

 

[Travis]

One not mentioned yet that I liked was #7. Because talking like you are knowledgeable about an agency that you don't even admittedly know the name of just smacks of ridiculous.

*roots really really hard for her nomination*

I hope you are Australian...

 

[Sabrina]

I hope you are Australian...

US Born and bred, baby!

17 is beautiful. It's like a bite sized milky way bar. I wouldn't even believe the poster was serious if I hadn't seen the cult (literally) physics documentary "What the *&$^ Do We Know?!", which almost argues the same thing.

2,6, Apollo ignorance is close to my heart.

Gee, I wonder how I could possibly find out, where the Moon landings actually were, or where they stored the rover during the passage from Earth to Moon????

10, complete and utter science ignorance is never bliss as far as I am concerned

15, the CiT are always in the running for Stundies, its just the way it is. You know, common sense.

While I see the appeal of such a consise demonstration of absolute ignorance, to me "its never happened before" has been done to death.


Although, I have never seen any CT address the fact that everything that ever did happen had to happen a first time, so perhaps its still in play.

 

[Meed]

Oh I have too, just never the conclusion "the thought cannot be thought". As if it's impossible because our consciousness wouldn't know how to comprehend something that had never happened.

awwwright,, I admit its a novel new take on the old saw.

 

[TJM]

#3. pure gold.

 

[Travis]

"It can't be thought" is now catching up.

 

[Mel Odious]

I thought I had a pretty good horse in this month's race, but here my nominee is in 10th place already.

It amazes me how much of a blockhead someone can be and still fail to win the Stundie award.

 

[Rolfe]

awwwright,, I admit its a novel new take on the old saw.

Not that novel.

Nichts lerntest du,
wollt' ich dich lehren,
was nie du erkennen kannst,
eh' nicht ertagte die Tat.
Stets Gewohntes
nur magst du verstehn:
doch was noch nie sich traf,
danach trachtet mein Sinn.

Rolfe.

 

[Sabrina]

*keeps cheering for her nomination*

I think I'm tied for fifth at the moment...

 

[Travis]

It's now neck and neck between "Narcissism" and the, "thought can not be thought."

 

[8den]

Dangdammit every sodding month I come up with an entry that starts out well straight out of the gate, and then fades into the upper end of the middle of pack.

Look if I tell people I'm dying will you vote for mine?

 

[Mel Odious]

Just speaking for myself, no.

 

[apathoid]

And 20 - I simply had to vote for that, because it left me with literally no idea what point the originator believed he was trying to make.

That would be my idiot nominee. It was a spectacular failure of a tu quoque argument after the poster had it pointed out that no alien spaceship has ever left any physical evidence behind of their existence.

This is one of the few noms where a bit of context makes it even more Stundilicious.

As for this months vote, I haven't yet voted so I'd be happy to take any bribes...Sabrina?

In retrospect, I agree. It seemed so damned funny thought that I thought it would stand up well by itself.
