Let me guess; one...and it's your middle finger. I must be clairvoyant.

It really doesn't take a mind reader, Bond.


I was thinking "None", because he had both hands on the keyboard. But then, I tend to cut him more slack than you do.

Doh! I just made a star trek reference over there...


LOL!

I trust you weren't referring to it as though Spock and Capt. Kirk were real though, were you?


You mean they're not?

P.S. Have you seen Galaxy Quest? I love that movie.

Good to know. I have a couple of topics I'd like to bring up at some point and I was debating about putting them in the Celestial forum for fear that they wouldn't get seen as much...

Speaking of supposed telepathy, why are you assuming I was referring to you and not just SOME other participants here?

Did the finger(s) you are holding up somehow fit the glove of self-conviction, and were mostly pointing back at you?

If so, I am not sure my alleged steroid-induced "Sixth Sense" or supposed legendary sense of perception may be of any help since you seem to be imagining some sinister plot of your own--a "James Bond" fantasy perhaps? ;-)

Yeah, like that time you imagined you were dressed in a furry penguin suit with Scarlet Johansson snuggled up next to you and escaping from Church security in a souped up Aston Martin. Very cleaver that M adding ejectable convert decoys

Since you're all about being fair and balanced, I figured any magical type powers you had would be used for the good of everyone on the board. At some point the powers may be used upon me, but for now I'm going to assume you only use them for important business, like figuring out what the ladies are thinking (not unlike Mel Gibson in the movie What Women Want).

Actually harmony was correct, the answer was zero....not because I was using them to type but because I was using them to scratch my skull....my toes do all the typing.

If so, I am not sure my alleged steroid-induced "Sixth Sense" or supposed legendary sense of perception may be of any help since you seem to be imagining some sinister plot of your own--a "James Bond" fantasy perhaps? ;-)


Well we don't want to delve to far into my mind....but I of course would play Bond, Scratch would be Q, Shades would play M, Liz would play the Bond Girl, and you would be the archvillian, Wadier Xavi Englando Ramirez (of Spanish descent), attempting to use your mind reading abilities to strike deep into the recesses of every human mind, looking for that one issue that would spark a person to join the LDS Church. In the climax, you would be seconds away from attaching your brain directly into the Internet via some special gadget....leading to the conversion of every person to the LDS Church and the downfall of all of the pagan, godless, liberal society, to be replaced by benevilant theocracy ran by Gordy and the Gang......

But anyway, what were we talking about? ;)

This very slimy retort speaks volumes.

Blixa, as always you have dissected the issue here, the issue I have been drawing on from the birth of this board (a.k.a. wades "toolness").

I give several quantifications to this measurement, a factorial if you will, which consists specifically of a grade given to each stupid stunt wade/the tool uses.

For example in his s statement wade/the tool:
Speaking of supposed telepathy, why are you assuming I was referring to you and not just SOME other participants here?


This is the monty racket wade runs, so we have to use . This statement scores a 1 on the "Grifter Quotient", which is an expression of L/M, where L is the line number (in this case 1) and M is the Monty Constant. which is 1. A perfectly balanced Grifter quotient is a strong indicator of toolness.

Lets move on

Did the finger(s) you are holding up somehow fit the glove of self-conviction, and were mostly pointing back at you?


OK, this is a little more difficult. This is a binary function, so lets break apart this statement into a codified language. Within the needed language are phrases that translate to a binary number system:

01000100011010010110010000100000011101000110100001100101001000000110011001101001
01101110011001110110010101110010001010000111001100101001001000000111100101101111
01110101001000000110000101110010011001010010000001101000011011110110110001100100
01101001011011100110011100100000011101010111000000100000011100110110111101101101
01100101011010000110111101110111001000000110011001101001011101000010000001110100
01101000011001010010000001100111011011000110111101110110011001010010000001101111
01100110001000000111001101100101011011000110011000101101011000110110111101101110
01110110011010010110001101110100011010010110111101101110001011000010000001100001
01101110011001000010000001110111011001010111001001100101001000000110110101101111
01110011011101000110110001111001001000000111000001101111011010010110111001110100
01101001011011100110011100100000011000100110000101100011011010110010000001100001
011101000010000001111001011011110111010100111111


Now, after processing it with the secret cryptographic signs and tokens given to me by the Satanic system administrators at Exmo HQ, here is what we get:

01010111011000010110010001100101001000000110100101110011001000000110000100100000
01010100010011110100111101001100


For those interested, please go to the following website to translate the second group of binary numbers:
http://www.theskull.com/javascript/ascii-binary.html


So all those numbers, for those that have checked show a clear indicator of toolness, scoring a maximum of 5 on the toolness scale.

And lastly we have the remaining lines:

If so, I am not sure my alleged steroid-induced "Sixth Sense" or supposed legendary sense of perception may be of any help since you seem to be imagining some sinister plot of your own--a "James Bond" fantasy perhaps? ;-)

Thanks, -Wade Englund-


The last part, the smarmy "thanks", can be left out. Its just useless noise stuck in the signal.

This third line, I think we have to use an old numweological technique. Let me look at my word count correspondence chart

39 - Wade is a tool
40 - Wade is a tool
41 - Wade is a tool


Yup, we've got another 5 here folks, which brings the sum up to 11. OK, factorial of eleven is 39916800. Lets see what this means:

39916800 corresponds to the fact that Wade is a tool


And there we have it folks, Science proves me right AGAIN.

For an explanation of this post, please think of how the church teaches things, especially to children and how it warps their minds into believing that truth is what the primary teacher says.

Wade, your no tool. Your a really nice guy who really is stuck on a bad thing. I am sure you think your helping us but in truth were trying to help you. I joke around a great deal. I can get pretty cruel sometimes but deep down I'd love to see you actually critically break down some of the glaring faults of the church you defend and cherish. I'd like to see you break out of the imaginary world you are so wrapped up in.

Blixa, you trounced wade. Even WITH wades defense hes pretty much admitting that he was playing McPsychic just as he tries to play McTherapist. Even if he was not thinking of you he was obviously thinking of someone.


Just a little food for thought, carry on.

Mormonism has no monopoly on anti-Science. Why don't you first discuss the resurrection all of Christianity believes before picking on the poor Mormons?

Remember, "your" is a possessive. "Wade, your no tool" could not be used that way; "Wade, your Highness is no tool" would work. See, there, "your" is used as a possessive.

Just trying to help. Tenth grade English, after all.

Wow, tenth grade information coming from someone who argues like a kindergardener.
