BRIAN-K: So then Jerry pulled down the ironing board and Tom ran into it and he had an ironing board shape in him
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Did he? Did he, by God?
BRIAN-K: And then he's still chasing after and Jerry puts the roller skate in front of him and he goes down the cellar steps
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: I would give much to have seen that
BRIAN-K: So then they're in the garden and Tom's chasing after so Jerry kicks Spike in the backside and he thinks Tom did it
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Positively Machiavellian!
BRIAN-K: And Jerry has the pie and the cook comes home and bashes Tom
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Ah, the eternal struggle for existence
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Nature, red in tooth and claw, pitting its creations against each other in a merciless battle for supremacy where only the strongest survive and the weak go to the wall
BRIAN-K: ;) lol I guess you could look at it like that
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: I do, Brian, I do
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: A war without end
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Jerry is a creature of exquisitely Nietzschean amorality, is he not?
BRIAN-K: I like when he disappears into the mousehole and Tom slams his head against the wall
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: So do I, Brian, so do I
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: It seems we are kindred spirits
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: How do you feel about fascism, Brian?
BRIAN-K: Excuse me?
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: It's a fairly straightforward question. Do you feel that Jerry should have the right to steal the pie by virtue of his superior cunning and intellect, or should the shackles of a slave mentality force him to return it?
BRIAN-K: Well if I was Jerry I wouldn't give it back
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Good man
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: And how far would you be prepared to go to bring that sort of world about?
BRIAN-K: I'm not sure what you mean
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Oh I think you are
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: We have a little group that meets on Thursdays, if you're interested
BRIAN-K: To talk about Tom and Jerry?
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: No, Brian, to plot a new dispensation of heaven and earth
BRIAN-K: I have darts on Thursdays
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: I see. No spine.
BRIAN-K: I just like Tom and Jerry, mainly
BRIAN-K: And Spike
BRIAN-K: And I like the Maid. I like her voice
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: The maid is a house-negro and would be spared under our regime
* Brian has left the chat
RUFUS ST. SWITHIN: Hmm
