Now I want you to know that I love all your comments, but a comment that just came in is so awesomely epic that I just had to share it. It may be my all-time favorite comment.
It came in on an old post where I reflect about the intersection of shame, neurosis, and clothing in Genesis 3 and point to some research about the dating of when humans first started wearing clothing. That will help clarify the references to pants in the comment.
Anyway, prepare for some awesomeness. Best. Comment. Ever.:
It's staggering how people with remarkably anemic historical background presume to comment on a subject they so demonstrably know nothing about, but that is indeed typical of so called "mental health professionals," members of an illegitimate occupation who invent names for fictitious "disorders" and who attempt to awe the credulous by projecting expertise in areas where they have no background beyond assumptions. Blending behaviorism with Christianity certainly does yield a bastardized hybrid of profane idiocy. That this guy is on a university faculty is a disgrace. I have a porch glider which is more knowledgeable about history than this tragicomical parody of an educated man. There is no need to post specifics about pants here because a well full of poisoned water cannot be used as a repository for clean H2O. Further contact will be refused as any linkage with behaviorists leaves rational people soiled. This puffed up imbecile would also prove to be a sex-typer of apparel when that has no biologic basis. He lives in Texas and has no cognizance of the equestrian causation of pants. God help his credulous scholastic listeners.Many thanks to Charles from TX, a man who cares a great deal about the origins of pants. And God help you, my credulous scholastic listeners.
You've been warned.
I wish he had just told us what he really thinks about you, Richard...
ReplyDeleteWhat I can't get my head around is how I'd get this sort of reaction on a post about...,pants.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, my favorite line, and Jana and I just laughed and laughed about it, is this:
ReplyDelete"I have a porch glider which is more knowledgeable about history than this tragicomical parody of an educated man."
Makes me think of the pants song from MST3K, only much, much angrier: http://youtu.be/UpWOvK-mz7U
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess you just never know what topic people will become passionate and dogmatic about. ;)
ReplyDeleteMine is, "He lives in Texas and has no cognizance of the equestrian causation of pants." I love this guy! I love you too Richard, but this guy...well he is in a class all of his own. His piqued my interest in the equestrian causation of pants which is more than you have ever done (for my interest in the equestrian causation of pants).
ReplyDeleteIn my next book, I swear, I'm going to fit in "the equestrian causation of pants" into a footnote.
ReplyDeleteSing the praises of pants!
ReplyDeleteThat is also my favourite line!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if the comment is a parody of trolling or not. My money is on parody...it is just too funny.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Any way we can appeal to Charles from TX to come lambaste us on our own blogs?
ReplyDeleteHere I thought the comments on my student evaluations were fun. I do have to agree with Dan Heck, this is well constructed, so I am going for parody. But if not, even better.
ReplyDeleteMay you blog a 1000 years and never receive a comment so great yet so withering.
"the equestrian causation of pants" seems like a phrase built for David Letterman and his Worldwide Pants Inc... Pants Across America bit. I can see him using that.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line "Further contact will be refused as any linkage with behaviorists leaves rational people soiled."
ReplyDeleteIt's the internet equivalent of the old playground "I've said last word! I'm not talking about this anymore because you are yucky" trick.
Wait just a cotton-pickin' minute! "...That this guy is on a university faculty...in Texas...is a disgrace..." describes qb well into the rounding error. How do you know Charles had his guns trained on YOU?
ReplyDeleteI have smack envy
ReplyDeleteThat's because your head is all puffed up and everything now. Jeez, you are such an imbecile.
ReplyDeleteBecause if he had been talking about you QB, he wouldn't have used the phrase "puffed up imbecile"; he would have used the phrase "puffed up illeist imbecile".
ReplyDeleteI was most influenced by, "There is no need to post specifics about pants here because a well full of poisoned water cannot be used as a repository for clean H2O."
ReplyDeleteAfter careful consideration....I say enough of Beck's poison, let's go drink the clean stuff over at Charles' blog. Who's with me!?
thank you for sharing. This was a very useful information for me
