(To German spy) "Are you married?"

"Ja, two years"

"Any children"

"Nein"

"Nine in two years? You filthy swine"

He he - but milligogs could be serious as well, e.g.

The Dog Lovers

“So they bought you
And kept you in a
Very good home
Central heating
TV
A deep freeze
A very good home –
No one to take you for that lovely long run –
But otherwise
‘A very good home’.
They fed you Pal and Chum
But not that lovely long run,
Until, mad with energy and boredom
You escaped – and ran and ran and ran
Under a car.
Today they will cry for you –
Tomorrow they will buy another dog.”

How spot on is that?

I saw him at the Edinburgh Fringe many years ago, you know. Bit of a misanthrope.

Carrier said...

Misanthropy is a general dislike of the human race. It is not dislike of individual human beings, but rather dislike of the features shared by all humanity throughout place and time, including oneself. A misanthrope is thus a person who exhibits a general dislike of the humankind.

Though rare, misanthropy has appeared in forms of popular entertainment. The American standup comedian Bill Hicks expressed misanthropy in his work, calling the human race "a virus with fuckin' shoes" and often referred to himself as a "misanthropic humanist." Similarly, themes of misanthropy appeared on The Holy Bible, the third album by Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers. It included lines such as "All I preach is extinction" and a speech sample of author J.G. Ballard expressing what appear to be deeply misanthropic sentiments.

In extreme cases, misanthropy has led to serial killings. Murderer of at least 21 people, Carl Panzram said "I hate all the fucking human race. I get a kick out of murdering people" while in a Washington DC jail in 1922.

Regardless of the validity of a misanthropic worldview, those with strongly-held misanthropy often suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and even suicidal tendencies.

Yup, that about sums the man up.

But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type

another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.

net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
