Metaphorically speaking, of course.

I was just going to post this.

May I inquire as to the nature of said metaphorical foot? How would you represent the actual material manifestion of the foot?



Perhaps the metaphorical foot is being physically manifested in the form of a material foot. However, the metaphorical foot is probably a mens size 12, while the physical foot is a mens size 14. That being said, I don't think the metaphorical foot is actually representing a physical foot, since that may lack the proper requirements to be a good metaphor. So I will instead assume the metaphorical foot is actually a small fire with lots of fuel to burn and time to burn it. A flame which is capable of melting all of the the worlds ice cream and perhaps 2/3 of the worlds milk shakes. That would be enough to reduce your powers to slightly more than that of water going against gravity in the sky. However, you would still have more power than a potatoes after its peeled and tossed into a cauldron of scorchingly hot water

The profundity of your remarks contrast with obvious inexpediency of the culmination of threat into action, and reveal your true nature. If, as you say, a foot will burn as a small fire spread across the expanse of my material dominion, then let me ask you this: How long does it really take to wind up a solid kick? Although, I do appreciate the warning, and the inaction on your part has encouraged me to flap my butterfly wings a little harder in the hope that the wind generated will snuff out any fire if it should eventually appear.

This thread reminds me of how much I hate Derrida.

EDIT: And any other 20th century French philosopher.

While my better instincts counsel me to follow a policy of laissez-faire, there are a couple of Emperor's statements I feel I cannot let pass. Before I say anything else, let me remind Emperor that this is a truth that Emperor's functionaries are told by Emperor that they cannot acknowledge, lest they give aid and comfort to the rest of us. He vehemently denies that, of course. But he obviously would, because I would like to comment on his attempt to associate hooliganism with Maoism. There is no association. While corrupt big-mouths have previously relied on violence to get their way, their new manipulation of prolix policies has combined with violence to sweep his peccadillos under the rug. I can unquestionably suggest how Emperor ought to behave. Ultimately, however, the burden of acting with moral rectitude lies with Emperor himself.

He has been trying for some time to convince people that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. Don't believe his hype! Emperor has just been offering that line as a means to show us a gross miscarriage of common judgment.

Time cannot change his behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Emperor can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, hammer a few more nails into the coffin of freedom. If he were paying attention -- which it would seem he is not, as I've already gone over this -- he'd see that what I wrote just a moment ago is not the paranoid rambling of an irascible, muzzy-headed wacko. It's a fact. Emperor believes that the Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. His equivocations express themselves in thousandfold manifestations, with one of Emperor's provocateurs in despair and hopelessness, with another in ill will, anger, and indignation, with these foolhardy, untoward self-promoters in indifference, and with those in furious excesses. His stories about nativism are particularly ridden with errors and distortions, even leaving aside the concept's initial implausibility. Onanism has never been successful in the long run. Since I don't have anything more to say on that subject, I'll politely get off my soapbox now.
