: : : : : ...it's a real effort, but I'm going to refrain from commenting further... at least for now.
: : : : THEN I WON'T ASK "WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?".
: : : no, I want you to ask, i just wanted to give people a chance to see it and respond without my usual wordy crap all over it. Tell me what you think or ask me something and then I'll be glad to say more.

: : O.K. How is this new revelation specific to you? how is it applicable to all of us? How is it like water? How is it like Corn? Is it elongated and sharp or amorphous and nourishing? When you had it was it more like a deer in the headlights or a kid seeing Santa? How does it relate to mercury? hematite? magnetite? obsidian? reindeer moss? Is it closer to parliament or Christmas? Did an elephant kindly allow his head to be removed for this? Is it as sensuous as Carnaval? Is it as silent as an orange in a bowl? Please, please, let me know? I'm terribly interested!

: Did it hit you like a lightning bolt from the sky? Did it light your eyes up like a jack o lantern? Did it hit you like a ton of bricks? Was it a Mac Truck experience?
Okay Smart guys... I guess I asked for that. Wow Bill is back in that antagonistic demeanor that I first met him in...hmmm. And G, your almost up there with Dr Seuss, but not quite.
As for the rest of the board, I have learned that when I just blow out some unexpected monologue that people read it but don't respond because they say there is too much there and they don't know where to start. So this time I just threw out the phrase, but while fishing for "conversation" all i caught was a cooler full of wiseass ;)
anyway. I don't know what others think about my posts, but this board has the potential (and manages it from time to time) to be a great forum for sharing not only humor, but also actual thoughts. It is rather anonymous, and you don't have to actually face the people you are talking to. It has all the makings to let you be free with your ideas. I'm really not posting any of this just to hear myself type you know.
