Hmmm, you obviously don't understand what viable means.

Something that's viable is something that's capable of being done. It's feasible or practicable. Such as a viable solution to a problem.

Or in the case of a viable fetus, it's capable of being born alive and surviving outside the womb.

To say a person is viable or not viable makes absolutely no sense at all though.

Actually, one definition for viable is "Capable of success or continuing effectiveness."


shhh. you're supposed to pretend he's still capable of success or continuing effectiveness.

Yeah, that works.

Say, that's a good point! A joke is only funny if it's possible and true. So when I say you are a geriatric ape vagina, that's not funny. But when I say you paralyzed by shame and self hatred over your lust for men, that's hysterical! And insightful.

Yes, for something such as a solution, method or plan. You can't possibly have a viable person though.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Right, and if you were brain dead, you might infer that she was talking about you as a human being, rather than the arguments and points you make. I can see how you were confused.

[mburbank]

As a professional writer I just want to chime in and say I think comparing you to a fetus incapable of sustaing life outside the womb is well within the poetic liscence of a joke.

Did you hear the one about the talking Dog?

No. It couldn't be funny because dogs don't talk.

Sustaing? Liscence?
As a professional writer you are a joke, butwank.

[mburbank]

No, silly, I write jokes, and then people send me checks for writing them. They also pay editors to spot spelling mistakes and correct them before they get published.

Some of those editors are gay though, so WATCH OUT!

OH NO! You're gay now. You caught gay from reading about it. Now you have to go be in a gay parade.

You are totally not viable. Seriously.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Max, to imply that someone is "gay" simply isn't clear enough. What does that mean? Is he happy? Did he write The Beggars Opera??? Is he given to social pleasures???

That just makes no sense. I don't follow.

[mburbank]

WHAT?! KEVIN, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE NOISE OF THE GAY PARADE PHARAH IS PRANCING IN!

[Pharaoh]

Butwank Pharaoh

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE NOW USED EVERY EMOTICON WE HAVE!

[mburbank]

What's funny about a bloody dot murdering a laughing dot?

[sadie]

this page made me giggle.

[Ant10708]

Max are any of your writings available for us to read?

[mburbank]

Tons. If you do a Google search of "Max Burbank" you'll find all sorts of links. Some of it's paid, a lot of it isn't. Much of the paid stuff you'd have to go on ebay and look for old magazines, some of which are referenced online, but not available online. A lot of other work is scripts for live performances, and none of that is on line.

If you do this, do an advanced search and subtract 're' and 'dr' . Re so you won't get every Re-Max office in Burbank California, and Dr. because the other well known Max Burbank is a Canadian Dr, specializing in imagining technology.

Of course, the largest single archive of my stuff is right here at I-mockery., under 'shorts' and 'vissionary darkness'.

specializing in imagining technology.

hey...I could do that! Erm.....holographic fridges!

[mburbank]

oops. 'imaging'. I need to stop drinking at work. At least I didn't say 'imagineering'.
