1/17    The Iraq Invasion as Zork I transcript
        http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/001561.html
        \_ You went to the trouble to transcript that boring drivel?
                                      \_ transcribe
           \_ You have missed the humor and been eaten by a Grue.
              \_ It's not very humorous.  -tom
                 \_ It was worth a few chuckles.  It wasn't the super brilliant
                    "OMGROFLMAOWTFBBQ!!!!" that 90% of the ditto head "me too!"
                    commenters made it out to be but it had humor value.  You
                    didn't think "IT IS NOT THAT KIND OF SEAL" was funny?
                    \_ No.  -tom
                       \_ So what's out there that you do find funny?
                          \_ Clearly not this.
                             \_ Clearly.  I want to know what he does find
                                funny.
        \_ That was pretty funny, but it didn't need FILL SHOES.
           Probably lost some audience with that.
           \_ The truth hurts huh?
              \_ The weak trolls are out in force today.
              \_ nah, the FILL SHOES line was forced, albeit true

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
        administration on torture?  If we do it, it's legal, and since
        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
        \_ Bush is a great computer scientist.
           \_ He must be, given that he defeated the inventor of the Internet
              and AlGorithm.

The presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a full-length mirror upon the wall. Oval Office > GIVE SPEECH Who do you want to give the speech to? Osama Bin Laden, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, is here. " > MUDDY WATER "We know that Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network share a common enemy -- the United States of America. We know that Iraq and al Qaeda have had high-level contacts that go back a decade. " > PUNISH CRITICS "Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction ... " > RAILROAD CONGRESS You schedule a vote on the Iraq invasion for just before the 2002 midterm elections. As usual, spineless democrats roll over like an SUV taking a sharp corner. Your plan to invade Iraq now has the backing of the American people and Congress. You can't seem to find the promised throngs of citizens greeting you as liberators, but the footage of the Saddam statue being pulled down looks great on Fox! Posted on January 17, 2006 Comments You can make fun all you want, but according to your re-creation, Bush survived in Zork for, what, going on 6 years now. Posted by: Your Sis on January 17, 2006 11:39 AM If Bush is so in the dark, why hasn't he been eaten by a Grue? Posted by: James Wallis on January 17, 2006 11:43 AM ^^ ha! Of course, if you'd been playing the Hitchhiker's Guide game, all you'dve needed to do to escape the Ravenous Osama Beast of Afghanistan would've been to put your towel over your head. Or maybe he would've fit into the Thing Your Aunt Gave You That You Don't Know What It Is? Posted by: Suzanne on January 17, 2006 02:00 PM Iran and N Korea have openly announced nuculear programs. Posted by: b on January 17, 2006 02:09 PM That was funny and disturbing. Simplistic and reminicent of Air America talking points but hi-lairious just the same! By the way, did you ever play the Democratic Primary adventure? I tried everything I could think of, >SAY "JOHN KERRY REPORTING FOR DUTY", >SAY "YEARRGH", >SAY "I INVENTED THE INTERNET", nothing seemed to work. But they've never been able to work the bugs out of that system so... jon deal on January 17, 2006 03:56 PM > Vote for Bush A hollow voice says 'Cretin'. If only small leaflets containing this post would be automatically inserted in every mailbox (north of house). monoglot on January 17, 2006 07:58 PM puhleez give your collective heads a shake... There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin' You gotta keep it beatin' For all the hoppin' cretins Cretin! I'm gonna go for a whirl with my cretin girl My feet won't stop Doin' the cretin hop Cretin! Posted by: E on January 17, 2006 09:43 PM Funny, but drags on Posted by: Tim on January 17, 2006 09:45 PM Fucking stupid. Posted by: Jeremy on January 17, 2006 09:48 PM Dishonest lefty dipshits. Posted by: Larry on January 17, 2006 09:51 PM Brilliant. Posted by: tracy on January 17, 2006 10:19 PM In a strange coincidence, I had just been playing Colossal Cave Adventure online with my daughter when I read your post. Posted by: Carny Asada on January 17, 2006 10:20 PM > GET WMD I don't see that here! I hope Xyzzy is your real name, so Bush won't sue your donkey after the new law with anonymous messages in the internet! Posted by: Whois on January 17, 2006 11:48 PM Brilliant. q=node/129 has a non-political but equally funny (albeit a little more crude) text-based post. Posted by: Tim on January 18, 2006 12:49 AM >RAPE ENVIRONMENT Rape environment where, your bare lands? Hector Hamulec on January 18, 2006 05:32 AM Parts were funny, like the pet seal thing, but this is the problem with the internet. Only an idiot would think we're doing the right thing in Iraq, and, while we're at it, abortion is good, ipso facto. Only some right-wing Halliburton troglodyte would disagree with this self evident truth, and then only to prop up the dictator Bush. If you think everybody agrees with you, and you look at the election results, it must be weird. I had the same feeling during the Clinton administration. I remember thinking are the voters evil, or are they stupid? I think you, and most of your readers must feel the same way. Posted by: Potroast on January 18, 2006 05:54 AM Bill Bradford commented: > say "nucular" Nothing happens. The White Hat on January 18, 2006 07:08 AM "If Bush is so in the dark, why hasn't he been eaten by a Grue?" " I appreciate that you've tried to make your point in a clear and (mostly) non-inflammatory manner, but I feel the need to point out that every NPR station has a different bent. I'll fully admit that some are rather radically left, but some are very balanced. If you find one NPR station that you don't like, try another. I loves me some NPR and I hate it hearing this stereotype repeated because it isn't always true. Posted by: jakeline on January 18, 2006 07:30 AM How hilariously sad. Posted by: Carolyn on January 18, 2006 07:30 AM OUTSTANDING! not so much on January 18, 2006 07:48 AM This is pure effing genius. Posted by: Molly on January 18, 2006 07:49 AM That was so good and so painful at the same time. I, for one, welcome our new intelligent, reality-based overlords. Oop, got into a bit of a wormhole thingy there for a moment. I bow down in the face of your superior style, grace, and wit, Mr Yeti! Now if I could just find my way out of the twisty passage I've been in since November 2000... I figured it would end: > INVADE IRAN You are not able to do that, yet. Posted by: Jason on January 18, 2006 08:31 AM Very well done! This comes together so perfectly I'm actually now a little worried Infocom progammed the United States. Thinking back, those test adventures were an exercise in patience. I remember trying 50-100 things to solve some problems, such as opening a door. Getting a four-line description of the next room was the reward. Kind of like Burning Man: The failures are so frequent, the successes taste like honey. I agree with Jason's proposed ending: > INVADE IRAN You are not able to do that, yet.
