Damned Things

[Dillinger]

This is an interesting term. By definition, to be damned, doesn't the "thing" need to have a soul? Therefore there can't be any damned "things," only damned people.

Yet we go around all the time saying things like:

"That damned car is in the shop again."

and

"Damn that fucking computer!"

What things are on your damned list?

(And how can a list be damned? Does it have a soul?)

"The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignored, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutilized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statisticians, psychologists, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned to it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The govenor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. The psychotherapist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.

damn, dill

maybe it takes a god to "damn" a soul, so we mere mortals can only "damn" things. or we ask the god to do the damning for us. "god damn it hell."

Dam that river, dam it I say!

(Then the water board lets it all out during flood time and completley fucks up the system)

DAMN ROSES DAMN THORNS hehe

 

[LukkyKnight]

Nah, I can consign any foe to burn in eternal damnation, be it my ex-mother-in-law or the starter in my Edsel. Can you see the soul of another human being? Can you prove the pothole doesn't have one as well? Maybe the hole is what's left when the soul of the road gives up and begins its journey to the next plane.

[LukkyKnight]

English to French via http://world.altavista.com/tr

damn: rien
damn it: damnez-le
and then, oddly, damnation: damnation

You were funnin' with us, weren't you, DejaNu!


Rhys? Maybe it's time to get the hell out of Vegas. The place is ruining you.

 

[LukkyKnight]

as in "Ca ne fait rien.."? I dunno, that seems like a damn loose translation to me.

Damn altavista!!!!!! 0r Fuck altavista???

I dont know anymore!!!

You know how french like to complicated things, in my english/french dictionnary Damn mean 5 differents fucking things!!!!!! this is why we uses the Fuck word...

 

[cymbidia]

"Fuck" is a lovely word. I use it often, too.

Lukky? Are you screwing with my head? Altavista said that "Ca ne fait rien" means "Ca does not do anything".

?????



DejaNu? Will you tell me, please, what "Ca ne fait rien" means because, sadly enough, i can't speak any languge but my own.

DejaNu? Do you know Nessus? She's French, too. If you see her around France, will you tell her that we miss her please.

Ok Cym glad to help

Ça ne fait rien = It doesnt do anything but it can use for it to mean "it's ok".

As for Nessus if she comes in Quebec I will tell her!!!

No...please...don't make me move to San Antonio

I'll be good...(I'll be *very*good) I promise!

 

[Dillinger]

I've been to San Antonio 3 times now in the last 6 months. I quite liked it... well the first two times... then it got old...

It would be more fun with friends. The RiverWalk, while touristy was kind of cool...

Though I hear there are gangs there.

Where were we?

Oh yes...

DAMN gangs!

I'm thinking somebody somewhere wants it translated as "It doesn't do a damn thing." but I always understood it to mean "That doesn't matter." Of course, now I think it may mean something more along the lines of "That fucking shit doesn't matter one damn bit."

 

[cymbidia]

Lukky?
Honey?
Darlin'?
Let it go now.
It just doesn't matter one damn bit.
