RE: [Spoon-business] What the hell |
>[[It's worth a try.]] >As per r1082, I have a new T-shirt. Following is the rule, interspersed with my actions: >"There exist objects called T-shirts." I take one from where they exist. >"T-shirts may have text on them." The T-shirt I take has the text "Best Player Ever" on it. >"T-shirts may only be modified as described in the rules." Because the rules do not define the method for modifying a T-shirt, I do not >modify my T-shirt. Hm. I try a different tactic. I create a T-Shirt in my posession, with the text "B Nomic Players Do It In Public" on it. Under none of the definitions at www.dictionary.com for "modify" does creation count as modification. Also note that definitions 3 and 4 would be difficult to fulfill, and 2 which does apply to T-shirts only applies in cases of "extreme, severe, or strong" ones. And I can make it *more* "extreme, severe, or strong" under that definition without modifying it. Therefore, I make it more "extreme" by changing its text to read "ko to'e zasti", which may not sound extreme to you but which has a track record of offending all people at whom it has been seriously directed. -- Teucer "do du le jamna pinji" -fracture ragnarok@xxxxxxxxx teucer@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business
