Sorry maxis, no one is more annoying than you. You should have more confidence in your abilities.

An alternative preventative measure to avoid becoming spattered with grease involves coating one's self with oil before cooking. I rub a thin layer of cooking oil on my hands and forearms before deep frying anything and I never get burnt.

...so the alternative to your Harper metaphor would be: never get him heated up without first coating yourself in oil. Now that sounds like a good time!

Now that's just plain funny, I don't care who you are.

It all depends on your definition of "useless".

Harper is useless and annoying. He is spamming us with his anti-poll campaign.

harper is quite useful. he makes us laugh, he makes us cry, and sometimes scares the s*** out of us. harper i salute you.

There is a surprising lack of real philosphy in this thread...

For instance, what defines useful? A useful item must fullfill it's function.
Well (and I think I may be stealing this from the chinese) a good hammer hammers. A good screwdriver screws. A hammer then, is a useless screwdriver but a great hammer - and thus is it good at what it is intended to do and is useful.

So, if harper is useless he must fail at his intended function. What is his intended function? Well, if a hammer hammers, then a harper must harp

If you follow the link you will see that all harper has to do to be useful is to always be doing one of several things: Playing the harp, holding up a lampshade, being used a currency in ireland about 3 to 4 hundred years ago, or dwelling on persistently or tediously in speaking or writing.

To use in a sentence: Harper is useful because he is always harping about polls.

Conclusion: Harper is useful and people shouldn't get their panties up in a bunch so easilly. What would you rather have him do? Hold up a lampshade for the rest of his life? That hardly sounds fun.

making a useless poll to refute harper's claim that polls are useless is brilliant.

Harper's legs are hot

Okay, so restate the question: Is harper harping about polls useless?

tomblackwood · 2006-10-15, 07:29 AM

He was today, or close to it. We got lost on our group ride on Mercer Island, and he couldn't help get us "found". On top of that he came without food, so we had to feed him along the route. His pedal squeeked the whole ride, annoying us and the island dog population. His only real use today was in driving to the ride. He brought Irene along so that she could carry his food, embarrass us on the hills, and convert all of our distance and elevation to metres, just in case any of us had "euro-envy".

That question cannot be answered at this time. If he succeeds as his goal, than it was useful. If he fails, then it was useless.

As long as his goals are achieved he is useful, wether or not you agree with that goal is irrelevant.
