• This thread is a good starting place for this can of worms. More oil!
• Yes, it must get very tiresome, long hours, just sitting on your arse, on your bench, in your robe, wondering wot to do with your hands and...things. Man can only whack his gavel so many times.
• Nobody asked him whether he was familiar with Rick Moody's novel The Ice Storm, turned into a movie by Ang Lee, which appeared to suggest the exact opposite. That was about spouse-swapping, not orgies.
• So explain to me how you're so anti-abortion so "constitutional amendment to ban sodomy", so Catholic Opus Dei and so pro-orgy?
• You can put it in as many places as you want, so long as they're, you know, the right kind of places.
• Finally! Scalia and I agree on something.
• ah. *scribbles note to self*
• This thread is going to explode. That is one of the funnier quotes that I have seen. However, I have read and heard other strange, outlandish quotes from him before. I think that he just likes to use shock and exaggeration to help make a point or to be fun and ease the tension of a situation. Still, you have to wonder about Thomas' influence on Scalia at this point. I think they're fucking.
• *hands bernockle a Coke*
• Pro orgy. Anti sodomy. Looks like we have to set some Rules for the next get together.
• Maybe he doesn't know what 'orgy' means? Mhh, wait, maybe he does know what it really means: Word History: The word orgy has become connected in the minds of many of us with unrestrained sexual activity, but its origins are much less licentious. We can trace the word as far back as the Indo-European root *werg-, meaning
• >>eliminate social tensions social tensions? what the hell does that mean? "i'm sorry, but i'm feeling a bit self-conscious in your presence. can you remove all your clothing and lick my tits so i'll feel a bit more comfortable? thanks so much."
• ew
• i guess he could have said "clusterfuck", but maybe he's not into that.
• social tensions? what the hell does that mean? I think what he means is that there would be a lot less sexual tension, having gotten that out already.
• Orgies aint no fun with Sodomy.
• *without damn you Scalia
• Well, if it would make you less self-conscious, sure. *removes moon boots and Superman Underoos*
• "I even take the position.." Do ya? Well, well! I take this position.. /assumes position
• Didn't we capture Sodomy in a spider hole near Tibet or Ticket or some such place? Like last year?
• I've got a fin that says he pronounces it "oar-GEE".
• "Didn't we capture Sodomy in a spider hole near Tibet or Ticket or some such place?" I thought that was Scatman? .. on further thought.. maybe not go there..
• What shawnj said.
• hoo boy this thread took an ugly turn. Not that I don't dig the Scatman!
• Scatman do?
• /me points out shawnj to MCT for . . . the list
• *licks pencil tip, narrows eyes*
• I think I'll stick with the liberal fornicators, thank you very much.
• Yeah, but how liberal are they? I mean, you know..
• I think Scalia is nothing other than an interfering moralist with no real decency and values that are, as is typical with trumpeting moralists, quite different in private from what he espouses in public. He's also an attention pig in many ways, seeking to state the shocking to attract some attention to himself whenever the spotlight drifts away to people of real substance.
• Just reading BoingBoing, and the Harvard Crimson has printed a correction of the Scalia quotation: "I even accept for the sake of argument that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged." Just a slight change in meaning, but more consistent with the Scalia we all know and hate.
• Well I'm having a sexual orgy round at my place tonite, with beer & pretzels & a girl with a harp. You're welcome to join.
• Hey, Pete_best! I'm with you. I'd say the last four years has been a clusterfuck of extreme proportion. Actually, I was thinking we could all just put on our pjs and hug each other. because I haven't got the answer to that riddle about the three girls/two condoms, yet
• it's easy if you realize that each condom has two sides, making four sides in total, and there are four people in this resource-deprived orgy...
• a girl with a harp? what the hell kind of orgy is that, Nostrildamus? not that it doesn't sound fun, mind
• Antonin Scalia for chief justice. Seriously.
• well yeah, if it really played out like that. Otherwise, y'know. AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! Fuck!!
• Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Wednesday called his 2004 decision not to recuse himself from a case involving his friend Vice President Dick Cheney the “proudest thing” he's done on the court. Dick.
• He told students he would have recused himself if the case had involved Cheney personally, but that he viewed the situation differently because the vice president was acting in his official capacity. The guy's 70, is that just Old Timer's talkin'? Cause that's some seriously stupid-ass shit.
• Opus Dei member Nino "heyyy, fuck-a youse!" Scalia may have something to say about Time's cover story. Or not.
• ... is that just Old Timer's talkin'?
• Scalia twisted my words: Criminologist says his work was used to reach its opposite conclusion in Hudson.
• I agree with the president. These activist judges are a real problem. Let's fire them, and the assholes who put them there.
