ellauri011.html on line 937: Samaan aikaan toisaalla ruipelo brassi kuulee sufipastorinsa neuvoja. Saavalin sumutuksen sana marssitetaan esiin: Sell your wisdom and buy a share with us for your soul to be filled with absolute nonsense. Because the wisdom of men and women is madness before God. Juurikin näin. Viisaus ja hulluus ei mahu samaan kalloon, siis viisaus ulos, hulluus tilalle. Hulluus on herran pelkoa.
ellauri016.html on line 1023: Sen mies on samassa lafkassa turvapuolella, no-nonsense tyyppinen vankanlainen baltti. Eteerisen näköinen Ada-tytär oli itkenyt, kun luki väikkäristä äidin dedikaation. Senkin tukka oli vähän töyhtönä, mutta vaalea. Apassikampauksinen amispoika piti ikävää.
ellauri030.html on line 804: Yllätysmomentti selittää mix vanhat vizit ei niin naurata, vaik ois olleet hyviä. Tarkennuxena: ei ize epäsuhtaa naureta, vaan sen selviämistä. Sitä varten pitää olla vähintään kansakouluiässä. Sitä ennen huumori on nonsenseä, mitä pikkulasten vizit just ovatkin. Suunnilleen samaa luokkaa on sanaleikit: Mae West sanoo: avioliitto on hieno laitos, mutten ole vielä kypsä laitoxeen. Tää on vähän kuin ristisanan ratkomista. Mut tää kattaa taas vaan osan huumorista.
ellauri030.html on line 910: An analysis of content from business-to-business advertising magazines in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany found a high (23 percent) overall usage of humor. The highest percentage was found in the British sample at 26 percent. Of the types of humor found by McCullough and Taylor, three categories corresponded with Freud's grouping of tendentious (aggression and sexual) and non-tendentious (nonsense) wit. 20 percent of the humor were accounted for as “aggression” and “sexual.” “Nonsense” was listed at 18 percent.
ellauri032.html on line 222: Eliot oli eräänlainen mid-atlantic Puovo Huovikko. Kaikessa tuotannossaan hän sekä tähdensi klassistina perinteen merkitystä että modernistina rikkoi vanhoja kaavoja. Eliot tunnetaan myös Kissojen kielen kompasanakirjassa (Old Possum´s Book of Practical Cats, 1939) julkaistuista lasten kissarunoistaan, jotka jatkoivat englantilaista nonsense-perinnettä. Ympyräsuinen ystäväni antoi ton kissakirjan mulle lahjaxi, mulla on se kai vielä laihojen runokirjojen hyllyssä Wilhon kirjakaapissa. Andrew Lloyd Webber loi vuonna 1981 runoista suositun musikaalin Cats. Ihan niinkuin Puovo Huovikon, Tompan maine luiskahti kun ukko ize saatiin laatikkoon.
ellauri052.html on line 567: The split became irrevocable when Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society, presented the child Jiddu Krishnamurti as the reincarnated Christ. Steiner strongly objected and considered any comparison between Krishnamurti and Christ to be nonsense; many years later, Krishnamurti also repudiated the assertion.
ellauri060.html on line 1162: The phrase is also used as the first line of one of the extra cod Latin verses added in 1953 to an unofficial school song at Harvard University, "Ten Thousand Men of Harvard". This most frequently played fight song of the Harvard University Band is, to some extent, a parody of more solemn school songs like "Fair Harvard thy Sons to your Jubilee Throng". (voi helvetti, tää oli tosi paha.) The first verse is a nonsense sequence of Latin clichés:
ellauri067.html on line 319: “More Ouspenskian nonsense,” whispers a lady brushing by on the arm of a dock worker. Proverbs for Paranoids.
ellauri069.html on line 408: Kuka on puikoissa? Kertoja viittaa uhkaavasti kapitalisoituun "Niihin", jolla tarkoitetaan ylimalkaisesti liskovaltion pahaa liittoa bisneshaiden kanssa vastoin tavallisen persun etuja, ketään erityisesti mainizematta (ei edes Nazeja). Tän tautta novelli on, kuten kollegani Richard Poirier selitti vaikutusvaltaisessa aikaisemmassa arvostelussa, tahallaan kahareisin aidalla, toisaalta lukija voi vainoharhaisesti epäillä kaikkien salaliittoa kaikkia muita vastaan, tai sit vainoharhattomasti pitää tätä pelkkänä irrallisten pätkien vaihtorottapesänä, läpeensä älyttömänä nonsensenä. (Novellin työnimi oli Kutkuttakaamme raitaperse paviaania).
ellauri089.html on line 96: When Robert A. Heinlein opened his Colorado Springs newspaper on April 5, 1958, he read a full-page ad demanding that the Eisenhower Administration stop testing nuclear weapons. The science fiction author was flabbergasted. He called for the formation of the Patrick Henry League and spent the next several weeks writing and publishing his own polemic that lambasted "Communist-line goals concealed in idealistic-sounding nonsense" and urged Americans not to become "soft-headed".
ellauri097.html on line 128: Elsewhere, he dismissed higher mathematics and probability theory as "nonsense", after he read Angoff´s article for Charles S. Peirce in the American Mercury. "So you believe in that garbage, too—theories of knowledge, infinity, laws of probability. I can make no sense of it, and I don´t believe you can either, and I don´t think your god Peirce knew what he was talking about."
ellauri107.html on line 501: “Look here, Stan; let's get this clear. You've got an idea somehow that it's you that do all the selling. Where d' you get that stuff? Where d' you think you'd be if it wasn't for our capital behind you, and our lists of properties, and all the prospects we find for you? All you got to do is follow up our tips and close the deal. The hall-porter could sell Babbitt-Thompson listings! You say you're engaged to a girl, but have to put in your evenings chasing after buyers. Well, why the devil shouldn't you? What do you want to do? Sit around holding her hand? Let me tell you, Stan, if your girl is worth her salt, she'll be glad to know you're out hustling, making some money to furnish the home-nest, instead of doing the lovey-dovey. The kind of fellow that kicks about working overtime, that wants to spend his evenings reading trashy novels or spooning and exchanging a lot of nonsense and foolishness with some girl, he ain't the kind of upstanding, energetic young man, with a future—and with Vision!—that we want here. How about it? What's your Ideal, anyway? Do you want to make money and be a responsible member of the community, or do you want to be a loafer, with no Inspiration or Pep?”
ellauri110.html on line 145: On one hand, the Houyhnhnms have an orderly and peaceful society. They have philosophy and a language that is entirely free of political and ethical nonsense. They have no word for a lie (and must substitute a circumlocution: "to say a thing which is not"). They also have a form of art that is derived from nature. Outside Gulliver's Travels, Swift had expressed longstanding concern over the corruption of the English language, and he had proposed language reform. He had also, in Battle of the Books and in general in A Tale of a Tub, expressed a preference for the Ancients (Classical authors) because their art was based directly upon nature, and not upon other art.
ellauri119.html on line 137: In season two's "Hot off the Griddle," Catwoman captures Batman and Robin in a room where the floor is red hot. They hop up and down while trying to figure out a plan and Robin shouts out "holy bunions!" Just the sight of the two of them hopping up and down while Robin is shouting out nonsense is delightful.
ellauri119.html on line 744: This is nonsense. Alan Greenspan testified before Congress after the economic meltdown in 2008. He was asked why the invisible hand of the market did not prevent the irrational greed on Wall Street that caused the housing bubble. Greenspan said that there must be a flaw in the the theory (the invisible hand of the market produces the best outcomes). There is also a flaw in Rand’s philosophy.
ellauri132.html on line 675: Ennen v2001, ehdokaslistaa ei julkaistu julkisesti. V 2001, A. L. Kennedy, joka oli tuomaroinut 1996, kuzui palkintoa nimellä "a pile of crooked nonsense" missä voittajan määrää se "who knows who, who's sleeping with who, who's selling drugs to who, who's married to who, whose turn it is". Niin aina.
ellauri184.html on line 217: Ed posted this for all those ‘Jesus was a Jew’ types who swallow this nonsense without understanding the inherent fallacies and/or dangers associated with such statements.
ellauri198.html on line 325: The title, "Childe Roland into the Dark Tunnel Came", which forms the last words of the poem, is a line from William Shakespeare's play King Lear (ca. 1607). In the play, Gloucester's son, Edgar, lends credence to his disguise as Tom o' Bedlam by talking nonsense, of which this is a part:
ellauri249.html on line 476: Karl Marx ridiculed the idea: "'Ne sutor ultra crepidam' – this nec plus ultra of handicraft wisdom became sheer nonsense, from the moment the watchmaker Watt invented the steam-engine, the barber Arkwright the throstle, and the working-jeweller Fulton the steamship."
ellauri262.html on line 427: they disagreed regarding the ordination of women in the Church of England. Sayers comments on Lewis's views of women in another letter, stating, "I do admit that he is apt to write shocking nonsense about women and marriage. That, however, is not because he is a bad theologian but because he is a rather frightened bachelor.”
ellauri264.html on line 224: BTW, I disagree with those comments which have suggested that Lebow was some kind of “prophet” warning about the dangers of commodity consumption. This is nonsense - even Marx wrote about the problems of “commodity fetishism” in his 1867 book, “Das Kapital”.
ellauri266.html on line 340: If a young girl gets excited about mathematics or philosophy or sports car racing or anything else not specific defined as a legitimate female interest by Good Housekeeping Magazine, her elders smile among themselves and say, "She´ll soon get over all this nonsense when she has her own babies to take care of."
ellauri299.html on line 150: Casey: Amsolutely full of nonsense
ellauri302.html on line 409: Reb Ali, more calmly, spitting out. Blessed be His Name. I feel easier on that score. (To Yekel.) What made you talk such nonsense? (To Reizel, without looking at her.) Did she go away? Isn't she back yet? (To Yekel.) Has anybody gone to look for her?
ellauri302.html on line 413: Reb Ali: Don't talk nonsense. Just keep quiet and don't make any scenes. Has anybody gone yet to look for her? To bring her back? Well?
ellauri302.html on line 474: Reb Ali The truth. The truth. Heaven will help you... Everything will turn out for the best. I'm going to the young man's father directly. He's over at the synagogue and must surely be waiting for me. (Looks around.) Tell your wife to put the house in order in the meantime. And you, prepare the contract, and at once, so that he'll have no time to discover anything amiss and withdraw. Arrange the wedding date and have the bride go at once to her parents-in-law. No idle chatter, remember. Keep silent, so that nobody wiU learn anything about it. (Ready to go.) And cast all this nonsense out of your head. Trust in the Lord and rejoice in His comfort. (At the door.) Tell your wife to tidy up the place. (Leaves.)
ellauri342.html on line 492: Of nonsense understood Pikku viestejä, joita ymmärtää
xxx/ellauri027.html on line 1060: Paphos seminar remains fundamentally a project of Western orientation, with a strong emphasis on reasoning and language. If (to use a deliberately stereotypical example) a no-nonsense middle-aged male engineer comes to the seminar, as often happens, I find it important that he does not find anything in the seminar suspicious even in retrospect. Nobody should be lured into doing something he or she might find embarrassing afterwards.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 411: Um, no, no one is saying that. The idea is hilarious. This is where it goes wrong: Govt taking a little less from the rich than before is not a gift! It was THEIR money in the first place. How did we ever get to the place where people think that everything belongs to the govt like a king in feudal and ancient times, and we are all just subjects, serfs, and they will tell US how much of our own earnings we get to keep? Didn't we fight a revolution to abolish that nonsense?
xxx/ellauri129.html on line 441: So i read Smarra quite a while ago but from what i remember its complete nonsense. Just random surrealism stuff, they say there´s a vampire in there somewhere but i recall no evidence to that.
xxx/ellauri136.html on line 114: I laughed at the person who claimed that liberals were literate and educated. That’s good, if the definition of “literate” and “educated” is “they read what they want to see” and “learn nonsense.” Say what you will, the Harry Potter universe is fundamentally flawed, and I can see why liberals like it so much:
xxx/ellauri261.html on line 662: I am here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ... Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God.
xxx/ellauri307.html on line 763: löytyi Sysmän kirjaston poistohyllystä. Kirjailijoiden esikoiset tuppaa olemaan omaelämänkerrallisia. Don Rosa ei vaan Brown (ei siis etu- vaan takapuolen värisävy) omisti esikoiskirjansa Digital Fortress 1998 [silloin(kin) olisi Suomen pitänyt hakea Naton jäsenexi hemmetti!

Digital Fortress is perhaps the stupidest compilation of nonsense ever published]:
