06/21/2003 Archived Entry: "A story about an idiotarian"

Once upon a time, there was an idiotarian. Then a clue-by-four fell on her head, but she just started yelling 'The sky is falling! The government capitalists are destroying it for oil and Israel!' Then, not knowing what else to do, she printed up lots of protest signs and put them up all over town. No one was interested in the signs, and she despaired of ever getting anyone to see the real threat. Then she got shot by the terrorist she had failed to notice. The End

Cute. I always love stories with happy endings...

Strange how you assumed she was female :)

Dan:

Do you think the difference between the idiotarian and the terrorist in that story is immaterial?

I think he was joking.

I was going to make a similar joke. But he beat me to it.

On the other hand, if she had lived a bit longer and went to protect terrorist-hiding homes and arms-smuggling-enabling-tunnels from Israeli bulldozers, the material would get fuzzier.

I think she'd be likely to live a long time, due to all the sensible people working to minimise the threat of terrorism.

Alice:

If she lived, it would be a result of other people acting completely in ways that are contrary to her desires and intentions.
