OT: An Existential Dilemma

[Norfleet]

Actually, you're really a brain in a tank being raised as a delicacy for us, your alien overlords. We feed you these sensations because if you are not kept relatively engaged, you develop a bad taste. At the same time, if you are allowed to become too happy, you become fatty and unhealthful. Thus, a certain level of trial and misery is required in your experiences, so that you develop the proper flavor when we pluck you from the tank and cook you. That's what really happens when you die of old age. There's no such thing as old age, really.

I remember a Smurfs episode where they taught that lesson.

Only aired once... must have touched a nerve with someone up there.

I'd hate to spoil it for you, but most, if not all forums, have these Moderators that can check your I.P. address. If Norfleet has multiple names, then they'd come out as his IP (I've seen this before, really sad) and they'll give him a healthy dosage of

"You have been Banned from this forum"

But what if you drove to a different public library for each alias?

Or you had a dialup account, cable modem, and a web enabled cell phone?

It kinda like those skyline punch cards. After you buy 50 meals they give you a free T-shirt.

IPs can be spoofed, can't they?
Also, who's to say that the moderator isn't Norfleet?

Okay, okay, you got me, I confess. I really am Maltrease also.

Hey... I was going to admit to being you.

Now what happens? Do we both not exist?


It's like when you eat Anti Pasta as your appetizer and then have Pasta for the main meal.

Later on you wonder why you are still hungry... when the answer is pretty obvious.
