Of course, tubes, republics, I knew ancient philosophers were to blame for this. Whore lovin’, olive eatin’, wine swillin’ bastards.
Remind me of starship captains.
What are you made?
Starship captains go after sluts.
It’s funny how rarely anyone points out that the ideal society described in Plato’s Republic is more authoritarian and oppressive than a fascist police state.
Hence the tubes.
Plato’s oxymoronically-named “Republic” described a communism that would make a colony of ants proud. Socrates turns in his grave non-stop, I’d imagine.
They hook turbines up to him for free perpetual energy.
It’s a lesser known fact, but there was a perfect society that relied entirely on power generated from dead, spinning authors, philosophers, and others that have had their ideas twisted in some way that offends them in death.
Unfortunately the society was wiped out when the movie Starship Troopers was released and Heinlein went critical.
Can’t tell if those comments are convergent comedy, homage, or theft, but,
http://dresdencodak.com/2010/06/03/dark-science-01/
Theft is the sincerest form of homage. I knew I was alluding to something.
“Plato” they say, “could stick it away – – half a crate of whiskey every day.”
A friend of mine once dated a descendant of John Stuart Mill. When she said so he instantly replied “the philosopher?” and she was surprised he knew the name. When he admitted it was only because of the philosophers song she was less impressed.
And when he was forced to play the song for her as she had never heard of it there was a definite lowering of temperature in the room :-)
I wish to share a link for the rest, but I don’t think I should.
Please do
Nooooooooooo poor beat up Troll (Harky?).i have the worst luck with gravatars
Testing new gravatar…
YAAAAS
I somehow feel we’re all being subtly accused of sophistry…
Would rather have saphistry, personally
I could really go for some sapphic….poetry.
I’d have pegged you for a Catullus guy myself…
Wait, that came out wrong.
Everything sounds bad with this face on it!
You forgot spaghetti eatin’
“Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily.” -Wikipedia
You might be a few millenia off.
Didn’t they steal pasta from the Chinese? After Marco Polo finally got out of the pool?
It was a reference to the Dining philosophers problem.
What’d I get…let’s see…
AAAAAAAHHHHH!! She looks like she’s about to hurl!!!
I think it looks more like she’s about to cry, myself.
I think anything would be better than the creepy HR I got last time…
Sweet!
Wheel of morality, turn turn turn…
<— Dude! I don't even…
(Love that look! Will come in handy!)
Anybody but a Savage…
I think I had this gravatar before….Boooring!
Roll Dice…
Uh.. okay. Got that creepy pedophile look down pat. Does anyone know who this guy is?
You are here: http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-29-page-7/
You mean you don’t recognise Robin Williams playing Doc Holiday?
Or maybe it’s a chubby Kurt Russell playing Doc Holliday
Gravater personality test saaays
I will settled down with just about everything, I just hope it’s not a totally boring and nameless character
Well hello, captain
Roll
I appear to be very dismayed.
Tide
Do the tubes have those extra-relaxing waterjets and bubbles? I love those things.
Let’s see.
Yes… this will do nicely. Nicely indeed.
If this is H.R.’s desk … he’s got a lot of balls.
When Plato said the internet is a series of tubes, that wasn’t what he meant, HR.
Ahahahahahahahaahaha
DID SOMEBODY SAY ICONS?
Well this doesn’t fit the comment at all.
It did that one!
WHO AM I???
I’M THE GODDAMNED BATMAN! Wait no, look more like Iron-Boy….
You’re a Rocketeer.
Does this mean you do or -don’t- spout witty catchphrases?
Yea Sepia World. That there story last week was swell and all but ther wuz too many words and not nuff pitchers.
I get the feeling that a certain nosy reporter is about to be the first volunteer in that new tube.
Nose-y, you say?
We must immediately begin recklessly speculating about the minute details on his desk! What happens at 11:31? What are the strange symbols on Newton’s cradle? Could the small flash of orange on the penguin novel hint at the new colour of the immersion tube? Only RAMPANT SPECULATION can uncover the truth!
I think that’s H.R.’s glasses reflected in Newton’s balls. *deadpan*
I can do nothing but applaud your delivery.
…heavy, shiny and pendulous…
I have nothing constructive to say.
Identity crisis?
“All great ideas are dangerous.”
Best avatar evar1
Dangit, now I have to read and junk to understand the significance of this page.
Interesting play Gravatar, let’s see how it works out in the long run.
*rolls the avatar dice*
Seems you are a potential victim of Bandit Hat-Stealer. See the gloves on the sides?
And once again, my gravatar has a beard! Huzzah! Felt almost naked last chapter.
*rolls and hopes for a perfect 20*
Avatar is better than none.
Got ventriloquist dummy.
KA–SMITE!!!!
I think I’ve worked it out. Penguins are behind the whole conspiracy, that’s why they have printed the book!
I can’t say I’ve ever trusted penguins, they’re always looking round to see if they are being watched.
Oh, Plato. That explains a lot.
Let’s do this.
Ah go on, let’s try this out.
Swish!
*walks in*
*walks out*
I am the essence of trolldom.
And right you are, good Sir.
“Elves! Amirite?”
Hmmm, went from the fringe to the syringe :D
No, my love, you are their mother. And I am dead.
indeed!
Really? Hmm, thank you, do you recall her name?
It’s eerie. This book has been sitting on a shelf at my workplace for the past two or three months. I have no idea who brought it in, or why it’s there, and nobody appears to be reading it, nor particularly inclined to remove it.
Also, HR could be a doctor with that handwriting. Which is appropriate, since I’m pretty sure he qualifies as a mad scientist by now.
Like a lot of those kinds of books, it’s actually pretty good when you aren’t reading it for a class and can go at your own pace. It also really fits for HR, because (if you haven’t read it) Plato’s philosophy can be summed up as “the best rulers would be philosopher-kings because we’re smarter than everyone else and are so enlightened we would naturally act in the city’s best interest.”
My avatar has seen things, man. Attack blimps on fire off the hill of Orion.
Also, apparently, he’s dead Bruce
The Philosopher’s Legacy?!
I CHOOSE WHATEVER.
Who’d I roll?
Awesome!
The two pens and one pencil must symbolize man’s plight against the monsters of the id.
Sometimes a phalic object is just a phalic object.
*insert comment here*
comment
And thus she appeared . . .
. . . and questioned her last haircut decision.
Wooo! Sepia Sephistry!
This month on Guilded Age, we get to see what happens when World Building Techno Mages realize maybe they shoulda finished those philosophy classes.
Also, AWW YES, I HUNGER.
Avatar test!
y u so serious?
And so H.R. introduced classical philosophy to the savage peoples. Soon their culture evolved and the result was….. no, seriously… he’s going to tube the book.
Me and brkh96 got the same avatar WTF?
testing…
awwwyea Srs!Magda.
Roooll
