The LBH acquaintance & agreement foundational funding of entertaining nonsense of the year end report about suggestive, speculative stories based upon opinion begins this way.
Usually ambiguous agreement is always followed by insightful and even perhaps by knowledgeable understanding of the subject at hand, especially if one person is more bombastic than another. The end result of which is, the I don't know question of the year. Understanding another persons rationale and how it fits with their persona on the subject in question tends to be biased and quite literally misunderstandable, and ultimately leads to vilification on some level.
Each and every person is not perfect. Everyone has their own personal scenarios in life to contend with. How they choose to deal with it is not ours to reflect upon. Some may be charming, some may be witty, some may be insightful, and the long list of imperfection ever continues onward into the dark abyss.
The real reason people come to places like this are for entertaining nonsense moments to spare them from their personal scenarios trauma, frain barts included. As always there is someone who will take up the devils advocate position. How one chooses to play that role determines the ultimate entertainment scoop of the day award, and its all about the delivery.
Needless to say, etiquette demands the delivery should be presented without any change in emotion. The writer should say what he or she has to write in a casual, monotone, solemn and expected matter of fact or blunt way. And of course one must do this in an artificially grave demeanor or archaically insincere manner while remaining unflappably calm or the effect is apparently unintentional, much like a quarterback throwing away the ball to avoid an oblique sack. The dead seriousness of the subject then demands that devils advocate display absolutely no emotion, no animation or for that matter no humor, or much like that quarterback, he or she may be called for unintentional animation and draw someone offsides and be blindsided resulting in a personal foul. While football is in a sense the epitome of controlled violence, even they are bound by 'the rules of the game'. So while a devils advocate, much like the quarterback in football, he or she is expected by 'the rules of the game' to react to threatening or violent behavior in an unemotional, detached way that comes across as a jaded and/or blase' poise, the effect of which, like that quarterback, being out of place in an unrealistic setting, which comes across like the character Robby the Robot in the movie Forbidden Planet. But what becomes the result of all of this is, like in football, the play and the yardage gained or lost. Its that last line that is the punch line. The line that determines the play, whether its offensive or defensive.
While some aspire to A Softer World, The League of Gentlemen or even the Excel Saga; while noble in their title, they too are part of the same play with the end result being: Beetlejuice, Cracked, Mad, The Far Side, Jack Frost, Six Feet Under, Ren & Stimpy, National Lampoon, The Sacred Art of Stealing, and last but certainly not the least among many more, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, all which require Zero PunctuationS & We Will All Go Together When We Go.
Some say that we all have Gremlins even though we pretend to be Moral Orel's, but maybe, just maybe, the Evil Clown will have that last satirical laugh long after we're Pushing Daisies. We'd all like to know what's Inside Daisy Clover, perhaps the last act and line speaks satirical volumes "Someone declared war!"
