Milo Yiannopoulos the absurd Neo-Nazi? The name is certainly Greek, a nom de plume borrowed from his paternal grandmother I think. Definitely less Greek than ‘dudz

i considered making a short, classic Dungeons & Dragons dungeon called "Ramshutu's Tomb."
I also thought about doing poems but since both of you went poetry (I am not complaining, mind you) I thought I'd go elsewhere. Here is a poem of mine (not for consideration), written in the Summer of '15 when the New Horizons craft drove past Pluto:
Plutonic
We sensed you before we saw you
circling cool and dim asunder. We called you
X and postulated apogees
from shivers of Neptune,
seizures of Venus.
And when we found you
finally beyond the marble circus;
we made you one of us and
king of hell and
ninth.
Erratic before we knew better,
exotic as zero,
xerotic, antarctic.
And then you weren't and
so it goes: the kinks unbraid,
the gimmicks fade and now you
are merely unworthy, unworldly;
another berg crowding oblivion,
another dwarf scorned from our circle.
Today when Tombaugh's ashes
passed you in the velvet void,
perhaps we should confess,
perhaps you'd like to know
we missed you when we missed you
and cast one wistful look abaft,
just pretended not to notice
your pale heart turning for us.

Every Fri nite/Sat morning- it is the SupaDudz Memorial Profile Pic Pick o' the Week, a sort of game or art project in which I alone have ever expressed any interest and for which I maintain a sort of irrational pride in remembering to update as often as I do.
I might note that the Supadudz Memorial Profile Pic Pick o' the Week can be found in the PERSONAL forum, where it is bothering nobody. This week's theme is part of our PRIDE MONTH celebraton: I FEEL LOVE, I FEEL LOVE, I FEEL LOVE, I FE

I started out with a far more erudite notion- Odysseus getting ghosted by Ajax at a gas station in hell but I had trouble making it funny, then I had some idea of doing the 3 trolls from the Hobbit- Tom, Bill, and Bert sitting on sacks of dwarves and Gandalf suggesting a round-robin debate set up but then I saw Ram's and thought a second reference would seems too copycat so I just crapped this out in the last few minutes.

Right up until Earth's last minute, nobody saw it coming. There was, for some, a momentary impression of a column of fire- an orange sort of jet trail expanding already beyond the moon and then the Moon moving away far too fast. Some felt the last of Earth's gravity give just before the quake arrived: one hundred on some richter scale that theoretically survived to register....., that sense of falling unfolding into full knowledge of flight's futility.
Every rock and grain pulling away from every other rock and grain. Newark crashing like waves into Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh crashing like waves into Portland. The Washington Monument piercing the Capitol's tit for just a moment but then all is lost to cataclysm, to mountain made rock made sand made dust expanding out to join Jupiter or melt into the Sun's metal core.
And if we follow that column of fire towering out from the point of impact, stretching beyond the expanding shockwave of broken black glass we find, already two million miles further milkywayward, a silver ship shaped shockingly very nearly like a seven-fingered outstretched hand. And at the tip of the second thumb of that silver hand a crystal hemisphere acropolis of high command. And in the High Bowl of the first tier of the high command crystal wallows Ramshutu, first of its names. Ramshutu, the Many Tentacled, Ramshutu the Secondbest Smelling and Captain by Right of Conquest.
Ramshutu sloops to starboard and flops twelve angry green eyepods abaft to track the suck of the Moon into the silver ship's fiery-fingered wake.
Urgently, Ramshutu poops, "What was that? Another planet?" Red smoke oozes from the Captain's upper blowhole to indicate, "That's the third planet this week!"
Podderpunk RatMan shits its lemony-moisted indignation, "But that's not fair! My nav-sense is perfectly calibrated! I can't help it if some planet is not true to its coded trajectory! That or I'm sure some lesser gelled engineer has been re-tuning the Ion suck!"
Ramshutu the Many Tentacled scrubs its pubic cubes in frustration as the silver ship passes gas just past Jupiter's rings.

@Alec
Honestly, I'm just super pleased to be included in this conversation. RatMan calling me creative is about the best compliment I ever got on this site. And I agree with his assessment that the more formal the debate, the more I'm out of my depth. I've never had a debate class and all my knowledge of debate terms, tactics, fallacies, etc. comes from DART & DDO before it.
From a strategic point of view, I'd be a fool to accept a moderated debate with a fair number of debaters on this site of superior reason and/or experience, which the leaderboard reflects but partially. To have any hope of attaining every medaled achievement on this site, I'd have to gain the sexist "King of the Hill" gold medal and soon. There are many debaters who joined after me who are far more prolific and are winning at rates that make it clear that I won't be near the top of the leaderboard for very long- the rating system rewards productivity and I'm bound to fuck up soon and fall behind. My best shot is to pick my fights very carefully while hoping that something horrible happens to the chief contenders.
To that end, Alec- You should consider summiting Everest this weekend- I hear the view is quite spectacular.

@Dr.Franklin
Why would you think of the Black version of American history as dividing history? seems to me we are including a history that was once overlooked. addition, not division
is this relevant to the gay avatar forum?

There’s a few places here where people seem not to know or remember that Pride is a protest march that has evolved, an annual commemoration of the Stonewall Riots for which the 50th anniversary is June 28. Since there were already a fair number of cities with celebrations and parades in late June and much civic resistance to gays parading, and no kind of national Queer leadership, a patchwork of local annual civil rights marches evolved into Pride month.
We might note that Pride in this context connotes self-esteem and rejects state/faith proscribed sexual conformity.

Divinity
As men, for fear the stars should sleep and nod,
And trip at night, have spheres supplied;
As if a star were duller than a clod,
Which knows his way without a guide:
Just so the other heav'n they also serve,
Divinity's transcendent sky:
Which with the edge of wit they cut and carve.
Reason triumphs, and faith lies by.
Could not that wisdom, which first broached the wine,
Have thickened it with definitions?
And jagged his seamless coat, had that been fine,
With curious questions and divisions?
But all the doctrine, which he taught and gave,
Was clear as heav'n, from whence it came.
At least those beams of truth, which only save,
Surpass in brightness any flame.
Love God, and love your neighbour. Watch and pray.
Do as ye would be done unto.
O dark instructions; ev'n as dark as day!
Who can these Gordian knots undo?
But he doth bid us take his blood for wine.
Bid what he please; yet I am sure,
To take and taste what he doth there design,
Is all that saves, and not obscure.
Then burn thy Epicycles, foolish man;
Break all thy spheres, and save thy head.
Faith needs no staff of flesh, but stoutly can
To heav'n alone both go, and lead.
-George Herbert

@Barney
May he decree a better sovereign title than "king."
I'm not sure it is up to him. The achievement of #1 on the leaderboards for which one gold medal is awarded is titled, "King of the Hill" and that is the king to which this topic refers. We could change the name of the achievement.... I like Top Dog myself although Master Debater is also fun. Also...King is fairly sexist, no?

I second Psycho's admiration for blamo's bates. I'd also place Psycho & Ragnar with blamo in the ranks of "most deserving". Still, I think RatMan's theory of quantity before quality is proving out. My money's on Ratman for Jun 1 and I'm thinking some kind of debate is in order along the the lines of "Noob snipe is the optimal tactic to achieve DART's "King of the Hill" Gold Medal."
