EDIT: It's true! Atlas is no longer with us.



Is Atlas MIA or pulling a BitcoinPorn stunt? Inquiring minds want need to know. My hope is that all is well and he hadn't turned into a Rip Van Winkle due to the lack of sleep.

Yawn! You know what would be funny? Me locking this thread due to lack of interest.

Rip Van Winkle was the Bitcoin charmer in one of Texas's early Redneck settlements. Having a decided preference for staying awake, he escaped from his forum duties into a bed, and awoke to find himself in a world greatly changed. (2031: 1 BTC = $12,449.36 USD)



After doing some detective work, I believe that this is where Gene Roddenberry got that Vulcan saying: http://books.google.com/books?id=Qws2AQAAIAAJ&pg=PP48&dq=Rip+Van+Winkle+cigars+prosper&hl=en&ei=Jl3cTvSSGYLd0QGc_fnJDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CEsQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Rip%20Van%20Winkle%20cigars%20prosper&f=false

Perhaps, he's conducting another experiment, seeing how long we would go without noticing him missing. Well, two can play that game. We just won't start any threads about wondering where he's at. We'll simply pretend we don't even know he's missing, thereby forcing his hand to speak first. And we all know how much Atlas hates speaking, therefore we win the game because... Hmmm! I don't have a because, but I'm pretty sure we win, nevertheless. Wouldn't we?

Oh, Boy! I'm not so sure, now, after reading the following, which begs the question: Where the hell's Matthew?



You speak of evolution. Yes, morality is just preferences... You seek fairness, I seek the ultimate sentient being this planet has yet to see.

I want the power to be exclusively in the hands of the individual. I dream of each man being a god. That is all I wish to achieve. Morality is irrelevant when every man can stand on his own two feet without being phased by those who try to be above him.

Anyways, morality is just preferences. I only treat them as such. If you truly want to win, get an army -- or become one.

I treat every individual as a god for that's who I want them to be.


Atlas, you could killed so easily. You're a loud mouthed high school kid that posts his personal information on the internet. Does that mean that the killer is more 'fit' than you, or that you're not 'fit' enough to live?

You want to live in peace, you need to sacrifice. You don't want peace. Why don't you just get it over with an assassinate someone like you're going to do in a few years anyway.

He probably got grounded by his mother for displaying his ego to too many strangers. No supper tonight and no internet young man.

I heard that post in this voice.



I basically took out every other space in the sentence.   Atlas, you should make this guy the theme to your next online persona.

Atlas's Mom: I'm concern.
Atlas's Dad: Of what?
Atlas's Mom: Our Harvey.
Atlas's Dad: Why?
Atlas's Mom: I just checked his computer, and he hasn't been online for a couple days now.
Atlas's Dad: You what? I also just checked his computer. Now we're both fucked! He'll probably kick us out of the house. Where will we live?
Atlas's Mom: Well! There's this OWS in town.
Atlas's Dad: Good thinking! Get the dog.
Atlas's Mon: I love you!
Atlas's Dad: Quit that! Not in front of the dog.
Atlas: Hi, Mom. Hey, Dad.
Atlas's Mom: Howdy, son. We're taking a trip and we'll be gone a few days. Make sure to get proper rest while we're gone.
Atlas's Dad: And nobody's been in your room while you were away, just like the sign on your door warns.
Atlas's Mom: (Whispering) Let's get the hell out of here before he finds out. Grab the dog!
The Dog: Someway, somehow, I'm goin' to create value on this trip.

Unremorseful edit/bump!

Atlas: (thinking out loud) I'm glad they fell for my trap. Now I can get back to work. (fills the dog dish with dog food) Value, dinner's ready! (goes upstairs and fires up the 'puter and logs onto BT) WTF! I'll show them! (registers another handle on BT) They'll never know it's me--THIS TIME! (Pets the cat, goes to bed and crawls under the covers, pitching a tent).

Considering he used his real first name, that's not that difficult.

I think it's important that we continue to post about his new names so that everyone knows that changing your name will not help you.
