Geohot Hints at Plans After Sony Settlement

[Emergent]

Jesus Christ! You wanna talk about logical fallacies? Here's one for ya (and, since you seem to be a fan of fancy Latin terms, I'm sure you'll have no difficult translating it into English): argumentum ad populum.

I assure you, my statement that the discussion would be elevated if you weren't acting so bitchy isn't a formal argument (nor was it a counter to anything more than abusive gibberish), and attempting to score points off it as if we were still engaged in anything resembling a debate is, let's say, inappropriate to the venue of discourse you have chosen ("Yes you are!" "No, I'm not." "That means I win!" "No, it doesn't. It means you disagree." "I will now describe in excruciating and hilarious detail what it feels like when I believe I have won an argument on the internet!"). You're woefully overdressed for this party, and have been somewhere since the point you started substituting arguments with insults, dunno, call it 3 pages back or so.

If I'm overdressed, it's because I came to the party with two Colt .45 six-shooters holstered on my sides and you, foolishly, showed up with a knife. Let that be a lesson to ya.

EDIT: P.S.: And it wasn't "pure curiosity." I was setting you up for the knock-out punch. Sucker!

lol, okay, sure thing, Mr. Eastwood, and I'm pretty sure that was six shots I heard, not five. Please forgive the snickers. That's just really funny. You should put out a right wing podcast or something, this stuff is comedy gold. You could really give Rush Limbaugh a run for his money.

Dirty Harry and I have a lot in common. We both bad-ass motherf#%*^&s. If ya don't know, ya betta go axe sumbaddy. They'll tell ya wazzup.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
big iron on his hip

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red

Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

"Big Iron" -- Marty Robbins

The moral of the story is that you shouldn't fuck with an Arizona ranger with a big iron on his hip unless you're in the market for picking up some hot lead in your ass.

Is this little a-hole's 15 minutes up yet? I look forward to never hearing from him again, and sit in his place where he belongs with the Hansons and Vanilla Ice.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, diddy, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding, ding, diddy, ding, ding.

That's a classic. Guaranteed to git the party bumpin'. Vanilla Ice, himself, might have been been a fake-ass wannabe, but "Ice, Ice, Baby" is a classic. That shit sold enough to make it No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart when rap was still way, way, way, underground. Hard to argue with that kinda success.

Really? You must be a pretty young pup, those dings, by which I think you mean the base line, was made by the band Queen with David Bowie for a song called "Under Pressure". So, I guess I cant argue with that "kind" of success, since it was basically stolen music, and he didnt pay royalties to the real creators, until the song became a hit.

PS MMMbop was also a No 1 hit, but that doesnt make it a good song now does it?

I may be a "pup" but I can't make no claims to being "young."

And, yes, I knew "Ice, Ice, Baby" sampled "Under Pressure." Did you know that the kid who sampled it never got paid by Vanilla's label but he did get Marion "Suge" Knight to represented him as a "manager" and Suge leaned on Vanilla (rumor has it that he dangled Vanilla by the ankles over the balcony of a high-rise hotel room until Vanilla saw things his way), got the kid a nice chunk o' change, took his 10% off the top, and used it to help start Death Row Records? And the rest is rap history.
