Re: In Praise of Josh Timonen
Thanks to Feck for bumping this thread, I was going to go looking for it, I now have something for which I can praise Josh.
He likes cougars.
Good on you Josh.

Josh and Cougar.
Why do I suddenly feel a strong urge to watch Jerry Springer?

I can praise him instead for being able to do all that videoing and web stuff even though he's blind.

With respect to what EWB seems to be in the know about, which is implied in this post here:Elessarina wrote:In respect of what LP?lordpasternack wrote: But this also potentially lets me bask in the comfort of feeling vindicated for words I said, and not feeling so smug about having coolly said to Richard Dawkins himself that "I'll be vindicated"...
I made comments to Richard, back in the heat of the moment, to the effect that Josh had a bit of a slimy, dishonest, trust-abusing side to him. I didn't mince my words, and I told Richard that I knew he probably wouldn't like the way I was putting it to him, but that I was confident that I'd come out vindicated in the end.electricwhiteboy wrote:One day he might even learn to siphon off charity funds into an untraceable offshore account rather than JUST LEAVE A MASSIVE PAPER TRAIL.
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Somehow, I don't think RD is in a place right now where he'd appreciate being reminded that "I told you so ...".Feck wrote:could you E-mail him again LP ?lordpasternack wrote: I made comments to Richard, back in the heat of the moment, to the effect that Josh had a bit of a slimy, dishonest, trust-abusing side to him.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
