+294 The sad thing about people is that we might go days and even weeks without touching the actual earth: we walk out of our homes onto a concrete pathway onto a concrete driveway into a car onto a concrete parking lot to an office building, and vice versa back home, amirite?

My driveway is made of gravel. So I cannot leave the house without touching the earth.

Unless you can manage one hell of a leap.

Why's this sad?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It's sad that you don't find this sad.

Not even slightly... it's sad that you find it sad that I don't find it sad.

It's sad that you find it sad that I find it sad that you don't find it sad. In all seriousness, OP was saying how it goes to show how humans have lost connection with nature. Civilization and nature are almost opposites now. We've destroyed the earth by covering fields and valleys with concrete and pavement. Etc, etc.

Yeah, but there's a good reason for having concrete and pavement and whatever else we've created. If you want nature you still have the option to enjoy it (not for long maybe, but for now, you still have that option), but if you don't then you won't have to worry about it

I suppose that's true; I'm just conveying what OP was trying to. Sure, concrete and pavement is convenient for humans, but not really to the rest of nature.

Congratulations. You touched the ground. How big and glorious would you like your trophy to be?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Thanks! As big and glorious a trophy as I deserve. So a fuckin' huge one will do.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Sorry. We're all out of fuckin' big ones. They seem to te extremely popular. How about a small one to match your penis?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well I sure would hope the trophy that matches the size of my penis would be small (or even non-existant!), since I'm a girl. But since only the small ones are left, how about one about your penis size?

Trophies and Penises..... God I love this site.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I told you we were out of the fuckin' huge ones. Asking for the same thing multiple times will not change the fact that we are OUT. Your unwanted persistence has just earned you a trophy the size of your penis. And that is the biggest trophy you will be getting. Good day to you sir. Ma'am. Whatever the hell you are.

I look outside and see no concrete. At all. Gravel driveway, country road, horse's pasture, corn, and a sod farm. :D
