I love this thread.  :lol: It would make a great little scene for a movie.

Guy 1: "I love John Williams."
Guy 2: "Right on, dude. John Williams is, like, the Eddie Van Halen of classical music."

[beat]

Guy 1:  "What the f-ck does that mean?"
Guy 2:  "What?"
Guy 1:  "You said, 'John Williams is like the Eddie Van Halen of Classical Music.' ... What the f-ck does that mean?"
Guy 2:  "Dude, have you ever heard Eddie Van Halen play guitar? This is how John Williams directs an orchestra ... and those riffs of Van Halen's are as catchy as John's crescendos! That's what the f-ck I mean!"

[beat]

Guy 1 just stares at him

Guy 2:  "It's called a simile, dude. You know, like..."
Guy 1:  "Shut the f-ck up."
Guy 2:  "Dude..."
Guy 1:  "No. Shut the f-ck up. Shut ... the .... f-ck... up."
Guy 2:  "I'm just saying is all..."

You're brilliant...

But, this is how all Xixax forums end up... this thread is a microcosm for Xixax society... Xixax is one big movie with the same lines repeating over and over again!  But you're the first to put it in script form...  :-D

not PROPER script form

if I was a reader, I'd have thrown it in the trash by now...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Magali: What "proper script form" rules? I didn't see any rules.

Xixax Enforcement Officer: Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by you, it states quite clearly that all comedic posts shall become null and void if -- and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy -- "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... "Memo bis punitor delicatum"! It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You failed to following proper formatting! You did not use Final Draft! Your post wasn't even funny, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

Magali: You're a crook! You're a cheat and a swindler! How could you do a thing like this, raise up a Xixax poster's hopes and then dash all his dreams to pieces? You're an inhuman monster!

Xixax Enforcement Officer: I said good day!
