Gladius_veritatis gets drunk and goes on one of his drunken rants laced with foul language..."

That was one of the more amusing and fun parts about this site.  

He is an intelligent and witty man even when drunk.  I miss him.  His famous post is what got me to join.  He always had something intelligent and entertaining to say and usually quite correct IMO.

He had some very creative ways with words when he was "under the influence". His insults and colorful metaphors were... very Irish.

I'll admit I laughed hard at a few of them. His colorful imagery and metaphors reminded me of my (late) father. Incidentally, my father never drank, but he became quite funny when he was frustrated or upset. I remember one road trip, he was frustrated by the traffic. The things he said about those other cars...what they were supposedly doing in those cars... all of our sides were splitting!

One thing I'll say about the Irish is that we have a GREAT sense of humor.  I do not drink but there was a lot of drinking in my family.  But I have those same tendencies as you Father and Gladius had.  I can get people really laughing when they get my humor.  Come back Gladius.  Just one post a day please.

I saw on facebook that Gladius just recently got married!  He has a gorgeous wife.  

What a beautiful couple. May God bless them.

In fact if anyone is bored and has time they should go to the "members" section, look up Gladius and then read his posts.  Guaranteed you will laugh.  

Here are a few excerpts:

Man of the West said:
[We ought to adopt an identical stance, mutatis mutandis, concerning the War on Terror, viz. that we are living through very confusing times, and not everybody who disagrees with us is culpably defective.]

If a man is working with the intellectual equivalent of urine-soaked dog chow, that may or may not have moral ramifications.  Tis ye who are acting as if I said such...I did not.

If you want to grant positive assent to something which is not supported by ANY evidence, go for your life!

[I grasp that you're a smart guy and I know the meaning of all the words you used.  Still...  BO is a mendacious sack of sh*t, a shiny-but-hapless tool of the Banksters, and if I had a blind, three-legged pet aardvark, I know he'd see that the official, embarrassingly-bogus story is not actually supported by actual, objectively-verifiable evidence.]

Do you expect people not to downrate you when you insult them?


I expect a man to act like a man; sometimes that is asking too much.  FWIW, I hardly ever downrate anyone, including you.  No biggie...

In case others are as bored as I am with this nonsense, I saw that the 2011 World Championship of Nose- and Ear-Hair Trimming is on this weekend...it seems certain to be a better use of your time...


"If you think overpopulation is a grave problem, go find a .45 and swallow a bullet, or dance with the next freight train you see...your personal allowance of resources must surely have been used up by now..."

Seriously, does anyone notice that none of those who are worried about overpopulation volunteers to "BE" the solution by jumping off the nearest cliff? Where is their strength to live according to their convictions?

Frankly, I wouldn't take ANY crap from such people, any more than I do from ill-informed, meddling people who feel the need to comment when they seem me smoking. They tell me it's bad for my health, etc., and I tell them it is not as dangerous as telling strangers what they should or should not do. Oddly, none of them ever has anything to say in response.

I have strong doubts about the Siri claim but would not dismiss it outright.


Siri is dead (+RIP+) and has been dead for 22 years.  Whatever his claim was, it is now someone else's and that someone else's claim is about as clear as mud and is made with the vigor of an aged, crippled sloth.



Tele, I never defended what Lua/Iolanthe said in your regard, here or at FE.  That is all in your head.  You went absolutely ape-sh*t on me before I had even read any of it, calling me a liar even as I was telling you I simply had no knowledge of the exchanges that precipitated the mega-insanity that spilled over into CI like a tornado moving at mach 3.  You didn't believe me then; it seems you do not believe me now. On that particular point, I don't care what you think and you can shove it (and that is as kindly as I can put it).  As for your take on these matters, it is crystal clear that you and I will never see eye to eye.  So be it.  I sincerely and ardently pray that God may bless and keep you -- but spare me the Righteous, Pure Victim nonsense...as your own behavior has made it absolutely impossible for me to buy such crap.

As for my act, I'd sooner take advice from a long-dead starfish or a 'magic 8-ball'...

Nor should they, except, in this particular case, you wouldn't know a liar from a fire hydrant, even if the 'liar' kicked you in the balls with the force of a freight train and then hit you over the head with a fire hydrant the size of a Redwood!

Wonderful...

When you have a moment, be sure to let us all know what that has to do with the price of crack in Traddieland, okay?

[Frankly, as much fun as it is to conduct such an exchange with a virtually unarmed man, my time it is too precious to waste on such 'sport', which is the intellectual equivalent of hunting two- or maybe three-legged deer...ciao, Tele.]


I see the Emoting Maniac is at it again...

Tele, go find a gallon of Drano and use it as a chaser as you attempt the impossible task of swallowing your pride...

Dear Wolf,

With all due respect, I must kindly ask you to prayerfully consider becoming a vegetarian. Thanks...

FWIW, claiming to profess the Faith and actually professing it are different things.  IOW, the "faith" they actually profess is not, in fact, the Catholic Faith.  It is more like a dogma-less humanitarian cupcake with enough Catholic sprinkles to fool the mindless, spineless masses.

Priceless!  Thank you!!!

So I guess that makes us "even-steven" at least in the case of LOT.   :cheers:

I guess we would have cancelled eachother out even without these checks in place.
