The time has come yet again for what I am tentatively calling 'Koontar's
Buuk Revue', since with every new post and every literary vessel brought
into the world, there's a good chance for me to say what needs to be
said. Since nothing of what needs to be said has been said for as long
as people have been saying things in the most recent of debate both
verbal and literary, I gather I just need to step in and say something.
I'll be covering a few points, so stick with me through this.

Point 1: The Holy Codex. Dismissed as drivel by some, hailed as a way of
life for other, used as toilet paper by a very select few. With every
new edition there comes more and more expectation and speculation, as
might be expected of any piece of revised literature. I feel it only
necessary to give my biased opinion on a piece of literature that many
have already given their two sovereigns to. After all, if all the cool
kids are doing it (as they obviously are), I can't be left out of that.

From the start of this guidebook for good, the problems that lie within
are immediately obvious. As I flipped through the pages I couldn't help
but find more proof to prove my contention.

This book has no pictures! You wish to create a guidebook for all who
wish to pursue the good and virtuous life, but you make no aloowances
for the illiterate. The serfs will be most displeased. Normally this
would bring me to the second point of hypocrisy, accusations of strange
activities with children, insinuations about Hendel, and something about
an army of flowers, but I've always felt that was all a load of crap, so
I'll leave that with what's already been said and what will be said in
the future.


Point 2: Chaos. Montago, I believe, stated the whole quandry that no one
created chaos, Ayar did not create chaos, chaos created Ayar, they
created each other, all that. Essentially, no one creates chaos, chaos
creates everything. Keeping this in mind, I can only really think of one
response.

I DISAGREE!

I certainly created a good bit of chaos last night at the bar, I'm still
working on paying off damages. I guess 28 shots of tequila is my limit,
if people don't want anything broken.


Point 3: Burning men, women and children who, coincidentally, are
Occultists. People have said that the Church is bad for doing this, but
I ask you something. What makes a bonfire?

Most people, when asked this question, would say fire. That's a very
good answer, but wood isn't good for setting on fire (personal
experience) because some people get uppity about burning trees. Clearly,
the next best thing is a person. It's worth noting that different people
burn differently. People who are entrenched within the ideas of chaos
(Occultists?) happen to explode quite fantastically when set on fire.
And if you try to tell me that explosions don't make for good fire
material, I will call you a liar.


Keeping these points in mind as I continue my armchair adventures
through the land of Achaea, I leave you with this thought. If silence is
golden, and a big chicken is golden, is silence a big chicken?
