Durden worked hard to bring us all to a dark place over the last couple days. We went from joking aroubd to truly ugly on his watch.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

You left off “you ignorant slut.”

That would have been good. Damn.

Lol, I caught a ban for saying that to Mickey a couple years back. Some RMicans are more equal than others it seems.

Likely, I don't recall this particular incident so I could be wrong, it had more to do with previous warnings and last straws than the post itself. But, again, I really don't remember what you're talking about.

You could type “slut” into the search box and probably find it pretty easily.

Sure. But again, we're talking about context. And I'm not going to look up all previous violations, warnings, bannings, etc.

Joe, you did good work here. In control, reasonable, calm, cool, collected.

I didn't accidentally ban you. I just forgot to unban you.
