one rule

it would appear i need a rule, so here it is:

Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

i love you sons of bitches

".....It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter......"

Not in Thailand, nor in Cuzco, Peru, but I get your point.

Leslie said...

You mean like THIS, right?

Leslie said...

I like your dog...?

silly rabbit said...

Sounds like a good rule to me!

thimscool said...

Rules? WTF?

billy pilgrim said...

if i had a nickel for every time eliot has come to my rescue, i'd have a nickel.

thimscool said...

What in the hell is going on around here? I'm getting death threats in my inbox.

What did y'all do? I am a man of peace.

Gorilla Bananas said...

Sobchak was the perfect reverse barometer. His gut instinct was always wrong, except when he said the toe didn't belong to Bunny. No need to be kind to be mosquitoes, but otherwise I'll try to follow your rule.

Doc Teri said...

Vonnegut AND Sobchak in the same post? My God, you are a man of may interests, Billy!

Doc Teri said...

Um...that should have been "many" interests...my "n" key is off "n" on today...

Leslie said...

I think one of you "kind" people should inform your li'l buddy that I am not ALTF or Sterculian Rhetoric.

Furthermore, I have never commented at Refuge Creek and I know nothing about spamming.

It might help to bring his blood pressure down a bit so that he may again enjoy smoking and drinking.

Thimscool? The truth shall set you free!

texlahoma said...

The Textones, I like that name.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - one man's death threat is another man's challenge. man up!

doc - i wouldn't be insulted if you called me a renaissance man.

leslie - i might be the only person who believes you.

tex - me too.

Leslie said...

Thimscool knows, whether or not he wants to say so publicly. He could at least email BBC.

thimscool said...

I've done so already many times. BBC doesn't buy it. So it goes.

I like what Jesus said about that 1911.

Leslie said...

Then maybe BBC should call the phone number that was left in comments a few days back and find out for himself.

I bet he'd hit the jackpot tomorrow after 9 am EST. And he can send me 2 dozen roses as an apology while he's at it.

Mr. Shife said...

Definitely a good rule to follow, and one a lot of us need a reminder of on a daily basis. Also, excellent way to drive the point home with "The Big Lebowski" clip. This dude abides when it comes to being kind. Take care BP, and thanks for being a good buddy. Glad we have forged a pretty good relationship over the years. Take care.

silly rabbit said...

I love Walter.

Leslie, and I, said,

".....I bet he'd hit the jackpot tomorrow after 9 am EST. And he can send me 2 dozen roses as an apology while he's at it......"

Nothing, so far.

1 - 877 - 732 - 9300
or
1 - 613 - 731 - 9300

We're out of roses. Will carns do?.. The local Thralls can't seem to get enough of those carnation, gypsophila and leather fern bouquets. Their collective taste is, how-you-say; cephalocolonic.

Leslie said...

I'm calling you right now, but if you haven't gotten the mouth-breathing in check, I'm hanging up.

Anonymous said...

Allergies, for fuck's sake!

I'm allergic to Roses, Carnations, Lilies, Alstroemeria, Ruscus, Baby's Breath, Leather Fern and work.

billy pilgrim said...

thank mr shife! if everyone around here had your good taste i might win one of those fucking blog awards the rubes proudly display.

aquarians - is it possible to get rick rolled over the phone. i'm afraid that may happen if i call that number you're touting.

Anonymous said...

What the fuck have you done over at Doc Teri's place?
Everyone is wailing, keening and blubbering over there!

I made a mistake on the 1-613-732-9300 number. I said '731', that was incorrect.

How about this:

Google: "Florists Flowers Pembroke Ontario"

Scroll through the results until you see "Sweet Williams Floral and Gift Shoppe" It should be on the first page.
Access Ms. Burchart's web site and call the '1 - 877' number you find there.

Do you think I would have registered a web site and paid for a "1 - 800" number for 11 fucking years just so I could 'rick-roll' some paranoid cunts in January 2013?
It is not even my Flower Store. I volunteer here with The Tutor when the two of us are not out in some festering third-world shitehole trying to do good deeds so cunts like everyone 'round here can continue to live well in countries which create the festering third-world shite-holes in which I do good deeds.

Doc Teri said...

My current blubbering can be summed up in one word: The Reverand. (Okay, that's two words). Pilgrim - I responded to your comment :-)

Doc Teri said...

Damn...I am so distraught I mis-spelled Reverend! :-)

Leslie said...

You misspelled "misspelled", too.

Whoops!

Good thing I'm around!

Doc Teri said...

Actually, editors will accept either the hyphenated or non-hyphenated version; however, the non-hyphenated is more popular of late. Many scientific journals, however, require that it be hyphenated.
Just an FYI...

Leslie said...

Why advocate improper spellings?

billy pilgrim said...

i, like most men, consider spelling to be like horseshoes and hand grenades. close is good enough.

Leslie said...

Is that a death threat?

Anonymous said...

To be fair

Editors will accept what ever they are paid to accept - just like Arthur Anderson Auditors.
And Scientific Journals require one to use 'penal' instead of 'penile' when referring to the male member - at least they made me change my paper prior to acceptance - what does that tell you?.

pilgrim?

I reckon your 'Close is good enough' should not apply to 'penal' and 'penile'.

Anal and anile, however, both come form the same Latin root meaning 'wrinkled'! Is that funny, or what?

billy pilgrim said...

death threat?

you talkin' to me?

you talkin' to me?

you talkin' to me?

then who the hell else are you talkin' to? you talkin' to me? well i'm the only one here. who the fuck do you think you're talking to?

Doc Teri said...

AND Taxi Driver? You ARE a renaissance man!

There appears to be a female version of a 'pissing contest' taking place amongst Messrs. Leslie and Doc Teri Mr. pilgrim.

It reminds of a story The Tutor once related to me.
At his lowly public school wash room, there was graffito on one stall which said:

"If you can piss this high, you can join the Fire Department of whatever town on the East Coast of Canada from which that cunt OMAR hails."

Leslie said...

Doc Teri's a female?

I keep getting the frumpy professors mixed up.

Leslie said...

Fuck me that was funny!

Doc Teri said...

Actually, that really WAS funny :-)

John Goodman was great in that. What psychotic character he played! He reminds me of someone.

One rule, it is, then.

Happy New Year, Billy!

".......Why advocate (for) improper spellings......"

There can be good reasons to do so. Like when you want to revile something about yourself. You know, when someone tells you to "Buck Up Baby"?

Innit?

Leslie said...

Did you delete your other comments because you were unkind?

Anonymous said...

Well, in the right measure, I reckon.

New rules!

billy pilgrim said...

all this reckoning, could you be andy bell?

Michael Valentine Smith said...

Hello handsome.

billy pilgrim said...

through the process of elimination i reckon you must be talking to me.

Anonymous said...

Your 'process' is flawed, pilgrim.

And if you are going to abuse the phrase "I reckon", you'll need to pay me royalties. The phrase is not in the Public Domain yet.

Contact my....ermmmmmmm....Leslie's, Solicitor for payment options.

billy pilgrim said...

i'm paying royalties to andy bell as should you.

Anonymous said...

If by 'andy bell' you are referring to the video you embedded above, I do not need to remit monies.
I do not have a Sound Driver installed on this computer - I therefore do not EVER get audio. I am also connected to the Internet on a regular 'Dial-Up' telephone line. Videos will not 'play' without constant 'buffering'.
As a consequence, I do not bother to click on embedded Videos.

I owe nowt!
