What Pipe Smoking is Becoming for Me

Alphas sometimes simply step in and fill the void when necessary and then disappear into the background after fixing a situation or solving a thorny problem.

Sounds more like a Sigma , step in when needed , but don’t play the game, betas become alphas when there are no alphas around and alphas become betas to a more powerful alpha but sigmas are always sigmas even when they hang out with other sigmas ( which they usually do) no jockeying for position because that game is pointless , just get in and get it done and move on , shut up and have a good time, or so they say …lol

Then there's Omega Man...the only one left after everyone else is turned into some type of mutant GMO by the Psycho-Eugenicist Overlords...who have uploaded themselves into their super-computers like Lawnmower Man but ended up trapped in some Microsoft malware instead of achieving their longed for Godhood.

I loved the book of "I Am Legend".

Never been a fan of being around others. My job and interests revolve around solitary activities.

I never read it but I watched the movie not too long ago. It's pretty good, but haven't seen the original Omega Man since childhood so not sure how it compares really.

The book really is so much better than both.

That's almost always the case...about the most you can hope for in a movie taken from a novel is that it doesn't butcher it and manages to capture the spirit of it.

Been a big fan of Richard Matheson's works since very early in my life.

I never read any Matheson, and I read mostly non-fiction these days, but the closest thing for me would be Philip K. Dick...read many of his books in the past...and like Matheson, he's been a Hollywood favorite for movie adaptations.

Funny thing with PKD though is I can't really compare the writings with the movies because I have only read his novels...never got around to the short stories...and only one of the movies was from a novel...A Scanner Darkly...and imo they did a great job with that one.

No one has mentioned "smega man" yet. No! Not omega, smega.

I'm beginning to wonder if this discussion is actually about penis size.

Which greek word is for the man with a good short pecker? You know the kind that gets the job done, but you wouldn't go showing it off.

But pie is so much better than the cake that some have in their pipes

Hey - if I can fold and stuff pie into my pipe, sign me up! ?

Those are "wanna be" Alphas. True Alphas simply are what they are because the lessor members devolved authority to them, recognizing the inbred power. The chosen simply accept, knowing they can do the job, accepting the authority and the responsibilities. And, when a proper challenger appears, in some societies simply step aside and disappear or, contest.

Amen.

If you have to declare to others that you're an Alpha, you're not really an Alpha....
