Title: The Rick Astley Paradox… Yes You’re Being Rolled!
Post by: Dadtallica on November 02, 2026, 09:22:03 PM
If you were to ask Rick Astley to give you a copy of the movie “Up” he would ultimately have to tell you sadly, no. Simply because if for no other reason than because, Rick Astley has promised that he is never going to give you… up.

The problem then remains for you both… if he doesn’t give you “Up” when you ask for it, then unfortunately he has now let you down. That is unfortunate because Rick Astley is very clear on this and has promised that he will never let you down.

Now what Ricky???

Well what if C-A-T really spelled DOG?

This reminds me of a silly discussion I used to have with my friends back in the old days. What happens if the colors you learned were not the colors I learned? What then if my red was your blue and my yellow was your red? What then?

Great pull, man. Touché.

As far as the color thing:

Qualia with a dusting of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity perhaps.

What if you're all just figments of my imagination? I'd be one really disturbed person to imagine all of you.

Is this a gravity problem to solve?

Depends.  What wavelengths do you see in?  Visible, infra-red, ultraviolet, x-ray or kaleidoscope.

Well what if C-A-T really spelled DOG?

Only after 10 shots of whiskey and a rum and coke hold the coke.

Some of us are high-quality figments of imagination.  You're lucky to have us.

I think all of you are figments of my imagination.  I seem to be arguing with myself on this board.  Understand the #1 rule around here.  I'm always right.

UP is a great movie.  The beginning is amazing, how they can show you the guy's whole life without saying a word.  Should be in the "show don't tell" textbook and required reading for the morons making most movies lately.
