SocioCops Take On The Blather_Meanie A Play In 3 Parts by Roger Dafremen Scene One: DEPRESSION Depressed Person: Oh boo hoo, I am so depressed. Woe is me! Blather_Meanie: Yea well it could be worse, what the hell are YOU whining about? Waaaaah! Scene Two: MEAN BOY, MEAN BOY. WATCHA GUNNA DO? }Cue Police Sirens{ SocioCop #1 (over loudspeaker): You! Blather_meanie! Stop bothering that depressed person at once. What is your problem anyhow? Blather_Meanie: You're my problem SocioCop...you'll never take me alive! Buwahahahahaha! SocioCop #1 (over loudspeaker): That's it, you've left us no choice..we're going to have to analyze you. Blather_Bystander: Hey that ain't right! He was only expressing himself same as anyone else. SocioCop #2: Please leave the area immediately or you too will be analyzed blather_bystander..or should I say...blather_meanie_cro0bie?! Blather_Bystander(backing off slowly and reluctantly): Grrr! Scene Three: SQUADCAR ANALYSIS Blather_MEanie: Hey back off the cro0bie, man...I'm sure we can work something out...ok look...truth is I was just typing. You know? Clickety-clack-click? SocioCop #1: And what did you think? That you could just TYPE aimlessly, willy-nilly whatever you felt like, without any consequences?! Blather_MEanie: Well without any severe consequences...yes I did. It's not exactly assault...I mean these are words that we're talking about! SocioCop #2(analyzing): See? This is what I mean. He's simply using this "typing aimlessly" tactic in order to get attention and validation on the sly without facing any consequences. SocioCop #1(nods head in agreement, shakes head at blather_meanie): Sigh, whatever are we to do with this attention starved jerk? Doesn't he know how pathetic he is? Blather_meanie: Now hold on just a damned minute! I may be many things but I am NOT in need of validation or attention nor am I afraid to face consequences. I rock VERY much thank you and my own attentions are sufficient. I am perfectly capable of providing my own validation and that's a fact! SocioCop #2(still analyzing): As you can see, my ploy worked. I have tricked him into revealing his true motives. His egotistical, self-centered nature is surfacing. What an arrogant @sshole! SocioCop #1(still agreeing): I could see that all along. SocioCop #2: Diplomacy be damned! Well you egomaniacal sh*traker?! What do you have to say for yourself? Blather_Meanie(feeling somewhat trapped): So I'm either typing this stuff because I'm in need of validation or else I'm egotistical? No other choices? Well ok, but I'm really just typing it. If you want to make more of it than that..go right ahead. SocioCop #1(to SocioCop #2): Let's wrap this up. He's not tiring and I have a feeling he's enjoying it. Besides, this isn't fun anymore. SocioCop #2(to blather_meanie): Alright pal, that's it, this conversation is over! Drop it or you'll regret it! Do you understand me?! Blather_Meanie(definitely hamming up the whole innocence thing by now):Hey don't threaten ME copper. I mean my whole thing is to live and let live...but damn...I mean YOU started this whole conversation! I was just typing! Really! Just typing... THE END : ) POST-PLAY DISCLAIMER: IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMER. 020420 ... silentbob thats funny daf, cuz i have a play too. maybe we can perform it in the same theater in a joint performance. how does broadway sound? junish? here's my script: Blather_egocentric: blha blha blah shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker mutherfucker tits fart turd and twat!

Dafremen Loved it. Thanks Bob. : ) 020420 ... Dafremen And so you see folks..there is only free_expression where two or more people agree that what is expressed will be interpreted as an entity separate from the person expressing it. Elsewise, the tyranny of differing opinions and perspectives imposed will inevitably cause the majority to persecute those whose expression differs from their own. The personal biases against individuals will be FORCED upon a stand-alone piece of expression. The interpretation of the píece tainted by personal bias against the artist? Yup, you heard me. It´s another justification for artistic snobbery and it´s so damned common amongst artists it´s not funny. I mean when the value of your chosen career field (poet, author, actor, sculptor) to society is questionable at best, you look for shields to hide that fact from the rest of the world. So they turn their noses in the air to hide the fact that they aren´t anymore capable of artistic expression than the average joe. ¨Yea Shut Up Average Joe...what do you know about art? You´re a crude neanderthal who´s looking for attention.¨ And you´re not?! If you speak your mind, they´ll try to shut you up, but when you finally give in, you´ve silenced yourself. Express yourself.....freely. Don´t shut up. Oh and no matter how many times they try to force their point of view on your interpretation, tell them to f*ck off! Interpret it for yourself. Keep free_expression FREE! 020420 ... silentbob wow i agree with you daffy!!! i can't believe it. And i think that just because someone writes about something, that doesn't necessarily hold true for them. Like stephen king writes horror. but he isn't a serial killer or anything. i write about my own death constantly, but that doesn't mean i am going to kill myself 020420 ... Dafremen DISCLAIMER: This is free_expression. Interpret at your own risk. Well there's the rub then S'Bob. Reactive dialogue is a form of expression that I like to create ALONG WITH many other more "acceptable" (I guess) forms of expression here, poetry, word play, stories, etc. I don't want anyone's attention, as I've said before I'll take it if it comes my way but I really just want to write, create and express myself and that INCLUDES engaging in nonexistent dialogue with previous blatherers. MY intention isn't to start debate (although once again, if that's what results then that's what it becomes and so be it..expressed freely if you will in the form of a dialogue.) Now we agree on something and I'll be damned if that ain't next to something if anything good comes of it. I am not on a quest for attention, I'm just typing what comes to mind when I read something. If anyone would just believe that (besides those who have already figured it out) and stop pasting intention labels all over the stuff that I write (including this), it's really just as dumb, repetitive and or entertaining as most art out on the market there. I'm not saying that to credit myself but rather to make a statement on the mediocre quality of most(certainly not ALL) art being produced these days. If ya get it and ya just don't care..then leave well enough alone or amuse yourself as you will. If you don't get how this can be expression then that's really your failing...not mine. Anyhow, glad yer a proponent of free speech. Glad yer so comfortable with the idea of dying. I am too, makes living a hell of a lot easier to do. This is free_expression. Interpret it at your own risk. 020420 ... silentbob so im thinking just because some expression is stupid. that doesn't necessarily mean the person expressing it is stupid. but that doesn't mean i don't have the right to say back to that person "this is stupid" and nowhere did i say "You should leave blather and not say anything on here because you are stupid." i never said that. all i said was "this is stupid" and then i got critisized for it. but i'm going to stand by it. because it's just annoying. and i never said to poetic_onslaught that he should stop talking or that ANY of his expression was meaningless. and thats why its ok to respond and to complain and to bitch. i have the right to bitch. so fuck off. this is free_expression if you have a problem call me at 1-319-286-9200 peace in the middle east 020420 ... Dafremen I agree one hundred percent. This IS your free_expression and I enjoy it very much. That´s why I am encouraging you to keep it up. Duh. : ) Shalom S´Bob. 020422 ... squint i like this page (the end.) 020701 ... User24 free expression is such a bad idea. Everyone should agree with me. 030703 ... Dafremen I couldn't agree more. 030709 ... wundafishy if i didnt have free expression i could almost fit into normal society (kill the urges, you have to kill the urges) as i said, almost... 030723 ... blah. sorry dafremen, I didn't actually remember you'd done this when I wrote insert_blatherskite_name_here all props to you, me fellow! 031103 ... dafremen Now hear this: You are on a site dedicated to free expression.
