HAH!! ! I saw you lurking lemon. I knew you would try to bust my wa (Japanese, loosely translated by a friend as, peace/harmony. Might not be so loosely translated, one of his wives was Japanese.). Fire? Don't need no stinking fire, I've got philosophy's and classic art at my disposal. Don't make me use them to kill this place again.

Dead again!! !! Die, I say!! ! Out, out, damn spot! :evil:



yeah, i do lurk here quite a lot, that's why i recently decided to post a smiley now and then, just that you know i am
but i come here reading more often that i post, even a smiley, so that threadkilling will be quite a tough task for you !

(although... philosophy might scare me away, expect when it is practically orientated, but i can always scroll of course ... :lol: )

I like to listen to Enya when I draw. The trees at the beginning of this video are so beautiful!! ! No worries! Man is doomed to extirpation. The beauty will return and overgrow us, leaving no memory of our existence in a turn of the cosmos.

Naturally, I'll have to put in my alternate view...

The true horror in this video is the people putting out forest fires. We nearly lost the tallest living things in the world (Sequoiadendron giganteum) due to indiscriminate fire control.

In any case, I look forward to us leaving this planet behind, on our way, somewhere else, and letting other species have a shot at destroying it. I might even interfere... to make sure they don't.

Lau the super-duper-transhumanist.

Does that mean you've incorporated the pink tu-tu for enhancements? Are you Lau-borg-pink-tu-tu? I just want to know if it feels good. I don't care to know how you've incorporated it.

Out, out, damned pink tu-tu? I don't think I heard that wrong. The Old Vic Players are supposed to be very good at what they do. I only saw them once and it was a long time ago. I was more interested in the witch scenes and I swear if they had missed with those swords it would have done serious damage, if not death. I might not have been paying proper attention. I don't think the witches had on any pink tu-tu's, Lady MacBeth might have. She didn't when she said "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!", but they did costume changes too. Might have earlier.

HAH!! I will do a happy dance for you on your tough task of thread killing. It's a philosophy that's not very pratical, but it does feel good :D

It's time for me to make an admission. I won't make an admission of guilt, I'm good at passing the buck, complete denial, highlighted with well done lying. I'm going to tell of something I've kept hidden for a long time. Grades 2-4, (slow learner) once a month, on Thursday's, I did Peanut Butter Speech Therapy. It's true, I kid you not. The therapist's name was Miss Poor. I might be a little off on the grades, I don't remember time very well. You may now throw rotten or fresh vegetables at me, for having kept this secret for so long. :oops: :cry: I had a lisp. Sigmatism. Doesn't anybody find it ironic, both terms are a b*tch to say with that impediment? I think they did it so they could poke more fun at me. It was a plot I tell you. I also make my S sounds perfectly now and I still like peanut butter. Thhpeaking of which, I'm hungry.

hi postpaleo, trying to set the café on fire?
(richie you might try to select the books you suggest a bit next time :lol: )


Please don't burn the Cafe, instead burn the peddlers of what passes for Pop Culture (read: poop culture)
these days.

Quote:
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Clarke's fourth book (after the story collection Carrying the Torch) is the delightfully dark story of Sam Pulsifer, the accidental arsonist and murderer narrator who leads readers through a multilayered, flame-filled adventure about literature, lies, love and life. Growing up in Amherst, Mass., with an editor for a father and an English teacher for a mother, Sam was fed endless stories that fueled (literally and figuratively) the rest of his life. Thus, the blurred boundaries between fact and fiction, story and reality become the landscape for amusing and provocative adventures that begin when, at age 18, Sam accidentally torches the Emily Dickinson Homestead, killing two people. After serving 10 years, Sam tries to distance himself from his past through college, employment, marriage and fatherhood, but he eventually winds up back in his parents' home, separated from his wife and jobless. When more literary landmarks go up in flames, Sam is the likely suspect, and his determination to find the actual arsonist uncovers family secrets and more than a bit about human nature. Sam is equal parts fall guy and tour guide in this bighearted and wily jolt to the American literary legacy. (Sept.)

~sigh~

words on a page.

Flat words on a flat page

we charge them with how we are feeling at the time and
can't separate them from
our own imperfectly understood
ideas on the subject

~sigh~

Got the urge to fly away this morning :) :

(caution: video contains brief nudity, but I like Lenny Kravitz):

(What a strange juxtaposition! :lol: . Anyway, my mood is somewhere in between these two, if you can get there. Or maybe a mix of both. :wink: )

of course, i've got no sound on this darned machine and there's all sorts of videos posted.

which is probably good, isn't it. :lol:

i mean, i'm assembling personnel review files for a bunch of suits, wouldn't do to have anything remotely like music blaring forth.

sure would make the job easier (i.e., less tedious), tho. :roll:

guess i'll just have to go on visual, if i ever get a coffee-break.

seeyas.
