One could easily retort with, "Why not?"

In essence, The Corner is a product of it's own self-determination. However, seeing as this is often a place where self efficacy comes and beaches itself like a German businessman in a Speedo on a Mallorcan shore, it presents an interesting paradox.

The Corner is vicious in it's own appetite for the lackadaisical. It indulges in it's own slack, so long as one is vehement about one's desire to slack. True laziness mandates one wouldn't post at all. Rather, The Corner compels one to post. Simply posting a " " gets you in (Debeneezer, for example). However, a simple smilie does not bring you truly into "The Fold (such as it is)." One must make clear in no uncertain terms that you are in fact posting, making your brand, and then proceeding to give it the same concern that one would give pamphlet from a passing Scientologist; immediately forgetting it within 3 posts.

The Corner cares not about your post cock, but everyone in here has one. This, moreso than anything else, is difficult to explain to the recent Corner dweller. A lot of folks pride themselves on their internutz and/or their post cock. A true , in every sense of the word, has seen internutz and postcocks of all sizes, shapes, lengths, and girths. . . and moreover, has posted so many times they have no pride in their post cock or internutz. A true is beyond pride, and simply posts, because that's all they remember how to do. Remember, they forgot everything 3 posts ago. N00bs trying to get their badge can't seem to remember this fact, ironically enough.

The Corner is a place of rhetoric, but not of thought. As with any community, there will, over time, become an epistemology that binds the community together. The beauty of it is, the core of a 's true knowledge need never enter into The Corner. You simply post, and the post takes it's own context with the say, 6-9 posts on either side of it. Once again, you need to be deliberate in your posting, but you cannot be deliberate in making a point. Misposting, double-posting, and simply snagging a are only meaningful when taken in context of other's equally meaningless posts.

If this is meaningless, then what's a to do in The Corner? Your posts are created in a deliberative context, but are singularly meaningless. Your posts are forgotten within 3 posts, but you have to get 3 posts on to forget them. Your posts must feed a lazy beast that doesn't care.

So shut up and post you
