I knew Paul Hogan's considered the greatest living Antarctic explorer as well as the greatest comedian.

You deserve this...

Wouldn't this go on forever unless the website crashes or gets removed lol. Whatever, I'm in first now.

You were in first... welcome to the forum, and kudos for trying to win this, and being in the running to repeatedly lose to me in this thread.

You'll get used to it.

I bet he's good at figuring sums and reckoning and such like.

I think J_Tour is having a stroke... I'd call the ambulance, but I don't know where he lives...

...also, it's my one chance to eliminate him in this thread and to secure my inevitable win.

Apparently not inevitable seeing how I am the current winner.

Well... they say it is better to have one think thou is dumb, than to open thy mouth and remove all doubt.

Thank you for so eloquently displaying this. I hope your next comment is as witty and intelligent.

(I figured true wisdom comes in the form of silence).

[perfect_pitch]

(I figured true wisdom comes in the form of silence).

Then how come the best speeches, quotes and witty remarks have all come from people who opened their mouths and spoke them.

Nice try at being philosophical, but it failed miserably. You can't impart wisdom through silence.

[winsto7]

No one said I was imparting wisdom lol. I was demonstrating my wisdom, but I guess that didn't work too well.

[perfect_pitch]

If you were trying to demonstrate your wisdom by being silent... wouldn't it be best to not post then???

 

Can you see your conundrum?

[lostinidlewonder]

Silence is a fence around wisdom. There was a song about the sound of silence but it was pretty noisy.

Silence is a fence around wisdom. There was a song about the sound of silence but it was pretty noisy.

True, there was a piece of music about silence as well, but it was a piece of sh*t. Most awkward 4 minutes and 33 seconds of my life... but briefly entertained when someone yelled 'BOOOOORING!!!' halfway through.

[winsto7]

MAYBE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT WORKS BETTER. HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NOISE?

[klavieronin]

If you find silence boring, you probably aren't paying close enough attention.

[perfect_pitch]

If you find silence boring, you probably aren't paying close enough attention.

That isn't true. Silence is simply the absence of sound, and we as human beings are attracted to sound. You might say the same about a completely white canvas in an art studio - but the problem is, there would be nothing to pay attention to... it's blank.

Same applies to sound - silence is boring. Sure, it might be serene and a little silence is a welcome change, but too much silence would drive us nuts.

While I think you are basically correct, I don’t think it necessarily has to be that way. Silence itself may not be interesting but the psychological effect it has on us can be very interesting. And while it might not be possible to listen to silence per se, it really is possible to notice it and pay attention to it. But, of course, yes, too much of anything will probably drive you nuts.

Also, true silence is impossible anyway. There will always be something to listen to, even if it’s the sound of your own breath. Pay close enough attention to that and you might just notice something interesting about it. You might also start to notice all the other sounds you couldn’t hear before because of all the other noises around.

I'm not going to disagree with that... but my point about 4'33" being a piece of sh*t - a sad attempt from a man to copyright silence is just awful. Piece should be stricken from his compositional list and removed from societal memory.

Hahaha, fair enough.

You're determined to win this thread... aren't you? I've never seen you try this hard before, or this frequently.

Are you glued to your computer like some 'misery' situation, where Kathy Bates has broken your feet and you're desperately trying to use the internet to alert the authorities?

  I'm glad the message got through. Now quick, send for help.

Cage merely is a plagiarizer, moments of silence have been used as a means of respect for many occasions, the problem with Cage is that his moment requires zero respect so it's merely an egocentric work which encourages one to be even more self centered to enjoy it.

[Bob]

I think we're being repressed here.  I was thinking about making a post of quotes of all the spaces from some previous posts, but I can't do that.  The site won't let me just post a bunch of spaces or nothing.  I can't do my 4'33" post.  My speech has been stifled!   

[winsto7]

How sad, bob.

Sorry Bob, but clearly you can (hence my post above).

You just need to know how to get around the system.

Have you SEEN the cats movie??? That was a horror show. If you're ever having a bad day - read the  Google comments on the trailer - *** HILARIOUS!!!

Cheers me up every time.

[winsto7]

I'm back in the game everyone.

[perfect_pitch]

I'm back in the game everyone.

I've been part of the game for the last 8.5 years... you're not in the game.

You're merely a distraction for the time being.   

[winsto7]

When does the game end? That's my question lol

[lostinidlewonder]

When you die 

[winsto7]

But the game would still go on and there'd be no winner. They should've set an end date and time.

[lostinidlewonder]

Nuclear holocaust might end the game then you can remember who was the last person to post. Or perhaps the forum will die and then it will end. But you most likely don't have to worry since the winner is not going to be you.

They should've set an end date and time.

Who is "they"?

[perfect_pitch]

When does the game end?

When I end it. I'm sure the other forums members might still remember from when I had a quote from 2 billion years in the future making me the absolute, undeniable winner.

I WIN!!!

You're dealing with a very special type of winner here Winsto7... one you will not be able to best.

[winsto7]

I can try though.

[j_tour]

I can try though.

You will fail!



On a serious note, p_p did call it.  I just sent The Text to my gal saying I'm done with her.  Meh, she can peddle her crap someplace else.  We're all full up over here.

What was that?  Three weeks or so?  A month?  That's enough of that for me.

[winsto7]

I must of missed something lol, but so far I'm still in the lead.

[perfect_pitch]

You were in the lead...

You're trying too hard, perfect pitch. I saw your messages on this post clear back from 2013.
