How will we know if Aaron is really Aaron?

Unread postby jdmartin » Tue 22 May 2007, 13:25:55

At some point, some of the various alphabet soup organizations may decide to replace Aaron with a stooge designed to collect info about all of us. How will we know Aaron's still Aaron? Or if he's really even still Aaron right now? Or (horrors) that this forum was actually presented from the beginning to collect data on all of us subversives & non-comformists?

Aaron, give us a sign!

What useful information could anyone possibly collect? That Mr. X of Yville is peak oil aware and learning about vegetables?

Aaron's razor sharp wit & sarcasms cannot be easily replicated by a conforming stooge. Remember that time he posted the toilet roll ha!

This is bizarre. Just the other day I was thinking that Aaron might already be a doppelganger. And now all of you are talking about Aaron being replaced. Please stop reading my thoughts. I'd rather not wear my tinfoil hat, it chafes.

Or maybe we're all picking up on a subtle change in Aaron's behavior which suggests that he's not really him.

Maybe he's holding himself hostage, and he's desperately trying to break free. But it's no use, he knows himself too well.

But maybe he still has a trick up his sleeve that he doesn't know about.

So it's certainly not time to start any rumors about Hawkman carrying the bird flu. That's just not right.

Praise whoever's in charge. :lol:

You don't know... that's one of the wonderful things about the Internet.

Pure disembodied consciousness.

Our arguments stand or fall on their merits alone... no body language, attractive appearance, or flamboyant gestures can skew your perception of my thoughts.

I am only words on a page... to you guys.

As it should be.

So am I real or am I Memorex?

Pfft.

Who cares?

Do my thoughts make sense?
That is the measure of my true Aaronness.

Now I have to crawl back into my pod & prepare myself for debriefing by my Chinese handlers.

Praise Hawkman

Only if I get the money that comes with it, but not the funny voice. And good choice of comedians, btw, since the d does in fact stand for dean :lol:

I switched my father figure role model from Aaron to Raphael a long time ago because I just needed someone that was more stable. I suggest you do the same and save yourselves the heartbreak of knowing that your role model is really working for Communist guerillas in Belize. Or is he a part of U.N.C.L.E.? S.P.E.C.T.R.E.? I used to have a notebook with all my paranoid conspiracies in it but I lost it when I thought the Feds were going to raid my house for visiting PO.com. On the other hand I do remember that Aaron was born by immaculate conception if my free online horoscope was correct. 'Nuff said.
