The Argument Clinic

If you want to post here, you have to:

1) say something absurd and with passion

OR

2) disagree passionately with any previous poster

OR

3) defend someone else's absurd point

All logic must be silly, fallacious, or nonsensical.  Bingowings, this may be the perfect thread for you ;)

Have fun!

It was clearly a South African conspiracy that led to the death of Steve Irwin "The Crocodile Hunter.  I mean, since the release of the Star Wars blu rays, I don't see how any other conclusion could be made!

That's nothing but circular reasoning! Obviously if we assume the release of the Star Wars [blue laser discs], Mr. Irwin's death must have been a conspiracy thus the release of Star Wars [blue laser discs]. Res ipsa loquitur incognito.

But c.f.: actually a good post about arguments

THE DESTRUCTION AND RECREATION OF THE MULTIVERSE CAUSED MICHAEL JACKSON'S CHANGE IN APPEARANCE!

I'm more a devotee of the quantum entanglement of Jackson's face with that of lesser popster, Pete Burns theory myself.

Sadly due to the Pauli exclusion principle something had to give and Pete's composite particles had a more successful spin (reported 33rpm on the LARB scale).

Birthers are not interested in race or bipartisanship, we only care about the precedent. And explosions.

Alan Moore invented the 9/11 Truth movement as a cover for the invasion of Earth by blood drinking lizards.

The Watchmen space-squid scenario is a reverso manifesto.

This thread makes no sense at all!

It's like Chewbacca! Consider: Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this thread? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this thread! It does not make sense!

None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Chewbacca was a midget amongst Wookiees and and after two centuries of put downs over his relative diminutive stature entered into self imposed exile.

Never an intellectual giant (he was known for pulling the limbs of droids for besting him at computer games) he made the mistake however of teaming up with Han Solo.

While physically shorter, his ego once again made Chewie feel insecure.

After Han gained a medal for bravery from the Rebels and he did not, his cries of "I've had enough of this shit!" were drowned out by applause.

It is therefore no surprise he would immigrate to Endor where he would be seen not only as a physical giant but also as something of a hero.

Endorian females were very keen to get their paws on a bit of Wookiee Nookie and very few Ewok males were equipped to offer much in the way of competition (Zach Galifianakis being a notable exception).

Whoa whoa WHOA!  Davnes, your logic is completely skewed!  What does that even have to do with the price of onion bagels in Djibouti?

As if anyone wants to get onion bagels from there. Don't you realize that that's where Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the Antichrist, George Bush, etc. buy their onion bagels?

No, Frink's Mom ate my bagel-homework, thus directly causing World War Four to blow a load from Mount Vesuvius.

Simple, really.

^I disagree passionately with that too but in a different way which is antagonistic to your point of view.

Author

You're both wrong. Also, I'm thinking very violent thoughts about the both of you.

Ah yes, but a rose, by any other name, would smell exactly like snake venom.  Can't you see the dilemma here?

^Are you mad, sir?  All this talk of snake venom and roses makes Indiana Jones sound like a real sissy.  He never once gave a rose to Marian.  What's more, he and Pennsylvania only have a passing resemblance, the one preferring Chinese musicals and the other clinging to his penguins.  Geez, were you raised on an island?
