All uses of "ontological" are either brave or foolish.
I think people can be brave and foolish simultaneously (not in the sense that they are multitasking either).
May I be so bold as to suggest Reginald Perrin as someone who might translate David's post into English?

merc,
You can be both on to logical and in to logical, but when you're out of logical you become ill logical, ask Spock, Captain Kirk was always going ill logical, hence...
"That would seem ill logical Captain." -

Thanks Don. You may be interested to know that first-year students in cultural studies are forbidden to use the word 'ontological' because it is simply too frightening. After six months they are allowed to use the word 'ontic'. This is introduced gradually into their normal day-to-day conversations. After another six months they are allowed to use the phrase 'transgressive performativity'. Only when they have fully mastered this recondite terminology are they allowed to employ the word 'ontological' in a real situation.

What a outrageous and contemptible suggestion, Jon. That's like asking for Derrida's De l'esprit: Heidegger et la question to be translated into English! Don't you realize that your inability to understand my post is simply an extension of your patriarchal fear of castration?

Close. I'd suggest that it was UNIX rather than anything to do with eunuchs, though many might suggest they both have the same outcome.

It is charmingly naive of David, if we can call him that, to gloss his own text, or "explain himself" if you will, as though an authorial meaning inhered or could inhere in a pedestrian sequence of words or syntagmic units, whereas we have previously demonstrated that a paradigmatic account must be brought to subtend the text by every or perhaps any individual reader, or not.

And more seriously, I'd never heard of the Moniac. Wow. A real analog computer.

merc,
Bombastically speaking from a purely semantic point of view we would have say that's 24 hours and call it a day...

This was a fun read, and sort of apropos:
The convoluted politics of zombie cinema
which perhaps reads more into the zombie flick than is wise.
-
merc,
What about The Convoluted of Cinema of Zombie Politics?
I'm just not feeling good about the level of debate our politiians are providing, really, on anything...sigh. -
merc,
Drat, remove the first "of", sorry, schadenfreude affects even it's own spelling.
