"Nattering Nabobs of Negatavism?"

[MineralMan]

Spiro Agnew is a forgotten man, but he left us with a wonderful bit of alliteration as his legacy.

We gots them...right here. No matter what else we have, we have those, aplenty.

1. Mindless minions of mediocrity.

This is a fun game!

[MineralMan]

2. There are many, many fun games we can play.

A direct hit, I see...

[Treefrog]

3. Very well played sir.

[ShazzieB]

4. Good one, Mineral Man!

I remember thst quote well!

[Scrivener7]

5. Stir, stir, stir. Cause that shit's not going to stir itself.

[MineralMan]

6. Indeed.

We could all use a break from it.

[Scrivener7]

7. Apparently not. Stir away.

[SoonerPride]

8. I think you missed the pointed critique at you doing the stirring.

Maybe I am wrong.

[Scrivener7]

9. No. You're not wrong. But also, no one missed the point.

[MineralMan]

10. Yes, maybe you are.

[SoonerPride]

11. Apparently not. See above.

[Treefrog]

12. And yet, you persist.

Go figure.

[MineralMan]

13. LOL!

Persistence is a virtue, it seems to me.

[Treefrog]

14. Persistence in shit stirring makes a fine shit stew.

And not much else.

15. Sometimes when I'm bored

I take a clean Q-tip from my desk drawer and whip it into the hallway.

The kittens will run after it and tackle and wrestle each other over it.

It's entertaining.

So I understand this relentless impulse to have one's Daily Q-tip for lack of anything more interesting happening.

Bless.

[MineralMan]

16. I'm rarely bored.

There's way too much interesting happening to allow any boredom.

[Sympthsical]

18. It depends on the motivation

Throwing a q-tip because kittens wrestling is adorable and fun is a generally healthy impulse.

Throwing a q-tip because cockfighting isn't legal and this is the best that can be managed less so.
