Am I the only one who...

@Thumperchick "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… For when you gaze long into the Only One, the Only One gazes also into you.” Friedrich Nietzsche or Charles Barkley I think

Probably Friedrich Nietzsche ON Charles Barkley.

@aetris Ah yes, Charles “Ubermensch” Barkley

@Ignorant The few, the proud, the slightly crabby about new policies. It makes me smile when I find my t in my woot t-shirt drawer. Now & then a few voices can make a difference. Kinda.
I still think the crab should’ve a pitchfork or torch in its claw.

@heartny I love purple.

I like purple a LOT.

(Real life example)

United States Presidential Campaigns. This show lasts for over a year, with plenty of suspense and commentary. The losers get to make tearful speeches, either endorsing the winner at the convention, or conceding defeat in the general election. A nonlethal example, the Consolation Prize usually being either a Cabinet postion or the lecture circuit depending on whether or not one’s party wins.

Sadly, the election does not involve the candidates dueling each other with swords…

Urban dictionary:

“there can only be one”

A commonplace quote from character Duncan McCloud in the TV series The Highlander which preceded the decapitation of his adversary by use of a sword.
McCloud: "there can only be one"
Nemesis: “No”

McCloud proceeds with a seemingly perfunctory decapitation

Urban dictionary screwed up. How lax of them. It’s MacLeod.

Duncan MacLeod

Connor MacLeod

McCloud

@WTFsunshine

@Shrdlu Aww…

@Barney

That cute shaggy purple monster looks a little hungry.

Surely @shrdlu knows how to keep it happy and everything, without having a “disappearing neighbor” syndrome.

@f00l (and @Barney) It’s a selfie. I thought that was obvious. I combed my hair and everything. Look, I’m smiling, too. :-}

Don’t worry, @jsh139 - You’re not the only one.

@KDemo

@jsh139 - Don’t worry - I’m sure you’re not the only one.

But what if everyone is the only one?

Ever thought about that?

@duodec You mean these?

@OldCatLady They look delectable but I was referring to @Pantheist’s wife’s reported best cookie recipe that nobody may know.

@duodec “I do have the best cookie recipe.” -Jen

@Pantheist Reports to that effect have achieved mythic status.

@duodec If we ever have money we’ll have to do some sort of giveaway for a batch of them. Shipping’s the only part I’m worried about.

@Pantheist Maybe an Amehrican Cookie Exchange…

@StrawHousePig I know, right?

@StrawHousePig i closed that window so fast…i hate xmas music*. maybe that’s a different joy to the world, but i wasn’t going to stick around to find out.

*exceptions: the ramones, the waitresses, the charlie brown xmas soundtrack, and mariah carey.

@jerk_nugget Wrong Joy to the World. Try it again. Wait, Mariah Carey? WTF?

@sammydog01 a classic from my youth, perfect for singing into the top of bedposts that conveniently twisted off to become microphones at sleepovers.

@StrawHousePig

What sort of cretin hates Joy To The World?

Someine insufficiently wasted when they first heard it.

@jerk_nugget I’ve had the song stuck in my head since the first ‘Am I the only one who’ post, so I pretty much had to vote for it.
