Today's Question

Have you stinkers signed onto the blog yet?  I don't believe that you all have.  I do love your zealousness for the fachybookis, don’t get me wrong.  Ah well hell, that's alright.  I just appreciate and enjoy your participation.  Some of you are vigorous all of the time and some of you are just floaters and free-lancers and part-time contributors, but it is all good.  I hope that you are having fun, because I sure as heck am.  I will often read a post and then have to wipe the tears of laughter off of my keyboard.  Just silly time awesome show!
Anyhow, I have spoken with a ton of you, here and there, and it seems to me that many of you are viewing and then posting but then losing your work because you don't have an account.  Well, I've posted on how you can remedy that issue by creating an account and it seems to have gotten to some of you and I suspect that we will see more from you all. 

I've also spoken with some others who really like reading posts but don't participate because of several reasons.  Let me address those concerns, in turn. 

First, if you are shy about what you post because of modern privacy concerns with technology, create a dummy account and post from there. 

Secondly, if you are concerned that your comments 'seem stupid,' well then just stop that negative thinking right now ‘debbie downer.’  Nobody is going to say anything mean or nasty to you and if they do, we will remove that post and release the goon squad we have retained to open a can of Organically grown, low-sodium whoop ass on those meanies (the goon squad is technically just me, but I have been lifting heavy weights and babies and riding my bicycle).  Now, for just a quick word the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment and freedom of speech…you certainly have the right to say whatever you feel, and we encourage that.  We like deep and meaningful discourse because it helps us to grow, and learn, and become more engaged in life.  That is how you find out that even if you have bigots in your family and preconceived notions about the world that gays don't want to eat your children, and that all white people aren't rich and snooty, and that Mexicans don't want to steal your jobs, and that Russians don't want to take over the world, and that the Chinese and Saudis aren't drinking up gasoline just so we have to pay $15.00 a gallon, and that, well, you get the point.  Talking to one another, and particularly positing and discussing viewpoints different than our friends and colleagues from an intellectual, rational, and mature state of mind, demonstrates Democracy in action and a way to learn (not all knowledge is in a book). 

So, and I think that we can all agree that a jerk is a jerk is a jerk, there are no stupid viewpoints and as such any infantile challenges to a comment and hurtful statements will not be tolerated.  We haven't seen any such things nor do I expect to, but you should feel free to post.  So...Do! 

Finally, if you just don't want to write a massive, drawn-out, tome, don’t, just post a pithy answer. “No,” for example, is a perfectly acceptable answer to the question, “Would you like to spend a weekend at the nude beach with Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, and Harry Reid?”
Now to the question of the day, which by this point has become all but tertiary and will, true to my form, be overly long and disjointed but eventually make sense. Because I began a twitter account to blast you all with quick posts about “Today’s Question,” and because they, the machines at Twitter, thought I might (correctly, I’ll have you know) like to follow Wayne Coyne’s Twitter feed, and because the Flaming Lips are awe-inspiring, and because they are so Awesome that I have seen them thrice, and because concerts rule the physical realm, “What is the bestest, most bad-ass concert that you have ever attended and why was it soooooooo bad-ass?”  [ed. Note Triple ties are perfectly acceptable]
