Before getting the mini-stereo, while Monk was on more of an emotional plateau, he came across the picture below in a [livejournal.com profile] debate thread. Taken out of context one fears that it might be misunderstood, so that it might not be the better part of wisdom to post it like this, but Monk never laughed so hard. Even afterwards, thinking about it, he would resume laughing, and laughing enough to hurt his gut.

It has to be appreciated that a good number of Debate threads is only so much inanity over who is retarded. This is the first time Monk saw this response and it killed him. His reaction is perhaps driven in part by the poignant and harsh contrast between the evocation of wondrous innocence and the harsher side of men's minds. And there really is a self-deprecatory quality in this.



And here is the thread from which it came." Someone presents another picture along these lines.

That picture's been so overused, it's not even funny anymore...

I never saw anyone use it at Blurty's DebateForum. This was a first for me, and it was too much!

You know, I never came across those types of pics until I came to LJ either last year... I have a whole whack of them saved on my comp. Some of them are funnier than others... keep an eye out for the "YOU SUCK AT THE NASCAR" picture. It's hilarious.

haha! Seriously, I'm so jaded about discussing *anything* on the internet anymore. I really have trouble caring.

I just worry a little about some of my very progressive, even vegan, friends.
