undetected, despite lack of proper hygene, not to mention bathing, because of the merits of after shave, colgne and perfume, and a LOT of it.. interesting you mention the word "smell". That's not roses and perfume you're smelling there fella..

I can imagine Engine cheering the bass on.. he's another "good old boy.."

Happy Birthday! To a guy who is in one of his primes, I hope you have a few more..

It brings back fond memories of my childhood.. I lived in the capital city of WV. We would drive by the beautiful courhouse.. hippies dancing or doing something around the fountain. Every once in a while, one would toss some soap in.. "wooowwwwww, coooooooool..." well, it kinda looked neat at night..

I can see rosie driving by.. sweat pouring down between her ears.. veins popping on her forehead.. "donna, when did I tell you to clean the fountain???!!!!"

I just wonder. I know Emporia got "flamingoed" by the natives a couple of times.. and of course, with the pr guy's reputation for telling everybody about the peas and nuts(o).. it was a carefully guarded secret, known only to da inner circle, that the "holy ground" was invaded by hoards of debils, apparently foiling da "hedge of protection" afforded to the household by the mighty stand of der upper ups.. but what about the fountain? Did it ever endure a savage attack from those outside the walls of "Zion"? Miscreants so "possessed" that they had to invent a new category of spurts for the aos production, "clean and squeaky" ?? I am PARTLY serious about the question.. had something as this happened.. I just KNOW I'd NEVER hear about it..

Perhaps a bottle of dish soap in the fountain would be appropriate for their festivities. Might not clean the scum beneath it, but if someone chose lemon fresh something or another, it would smell a little nicer. Besides, it would provide some entertainment for the evening.

Who knows.. maybe it's a good thing. Give the guy enough room and freedom to froth.. maybe he'll choke himself on it.. sometimes the worst thing you can do to somebody is to give them exactly what they want.. if it makes any difference.. the "thought police" that one poster refers to.. most of them I've read WANT the other side to be able to express their opinions without legal consequences. The arguments are so uneducated, so inane.. they're hardly worth allowing them the "dignity" to become some kind of martyr for a half baked cause. That was what kinda solidified da ministry when the deprogrammers were running amock.. "we MUST be right, da debil is fighting us.." Maybe that's the appeal to being a Holocaust denier.. a person can be a martyr.. toss their academic integrity and credibility to the wind, while a group of wide eyed followers fawn over the person, for being so "bold" or "noble(?)".. such "selflessness"..

hmm. Well, staffers can look forward to more millet, a lot more.. maybe a few beans. "administratively" a better choice of course. Don't have to refrigerate, stores longer.. besides, they won't have to dip so far into their already stretched resources. Probably LOTS cheaper than chicken.. the boy would probably even get a promotion..

"Dear Sir or Madam, I have recently acquired over ten million dollars from the estate of my Great Uncle Fred, and am looking for a worthy organization to use it properly. I am eighteen years old, and have no health problems, and love to work in a groundskeeping position eighteen hours a day. I love my work so well that I refuse to be paid for it. Please tender my application for association with your group, and I hope that I will be considered despite the many, many applications you must receive daily from those who desperately need said association more than me. Sincerely, Mr. Illa Bendoverforit."

Maybe I'll write.. naw.. wouldn't want to raise anyone from their state of boredom.. "ooh, ooh.. we actually got a LETTER.." might give them some false hope that this prize winning internet site actually was getting some results..

Maybe he's a regular patron of the establishment..

It's not even that. They hide behind the little "contact us" statement. Just write, da why is it international, New Knoxville, Ohio..

I understand all of this nice "let's get along in the world" kinda thing.. and I suppose the good President wants to open some dialogue.. but what's the point if it's "dialog" that can only be described as one group at another's throat.. :blink: where one person's "grievance" is the fact of the mere existence of the other party.. doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense, at least to me.. what's the guy gonna do.. get behind the podium.. recite some poetry, "how shall I exterminate thee, let me count the ways.." ?

Maybe they want the same kind of worship and adoration that herr vicmeister managed to rustle up.. I think a lot of us worshipped a friggin devil.. covered himself in a wardrobe of light.. "borrowed" from somebody who didn't need it or something..

I dunno.. I think it's a lot like the advice some give.. "just get over it.." does a person, really? I think a person can learn from it, provided they lived through it to begin with.. I have seen some interviews with people who lived through savage attacks from bears, sharks.. the most closure I've seen people experience is to just understand the nature of the predator.. that it wasn't their fault.. that the animal was simply behaving like those of it's kind have done for a millennium. The bible does call "them" brute beasts..

That's actually part of my point.. why would a person try to stand in the Lord's place, and try to forgive some of these scumbags for something that the Lord himself has a real issue with? If He relegates these false prophets and such to "eternal" fire.. if you believe the bible literally.. or even if you soften it as a figure or something.. "a real, real bad trip".. or something equivalent.. How could I do better? I may mouth the words "I forgive".. but do I really? Or do I look at their real nature, and simply recognize and accept it for what it really is?

"some of us" fight our insanity through life.. others of us have learned to embrace it..

*Babies, proceed to the yellow rubber line. Thank you."

*Last call for babies, last call for babies.* *exit the water immediately, or you are responsible for your own consequences* *last call for babies..*

No horse.. Well, what the horse. Well, I guess the horse must never have been there. Maybe there is no such a thing as a horse. hmm.. "hey fella.. yeah you. wanna buy a barn, cheap? Don't remember exactly what it is for.. I'll even toss in a few oats. Can't have a barn without oats.."

I dunno. If after exaustive examination, trolling with a fleet of the Navy's finest, a thirty day search by air, and a meticulous sekular search under every underwater rock, maybe there isn't a baby under the murky depths that one previously thought..

A typical denier's response would be: "Let's let the Professor's goon subject the original to 'forensic' analysis.." Then, there wouldn't even BE any film left. "well then, didn't happen.."

Well.. if there is a change of guard, innies will probably find out about it here first.. Staffers.. if you think rosie's loins are thick, wait till the next generation has a crack at you..

Ya know Socks.. some people might be into that kind of thing.. I have forgiven some "brethren" for some pretty dispicable things. But.. how many times do you let the same coyote raid the hen house? His very nature DEMANDS that he consume poultry, if other suitable food isn't on the menu at the time.. maybe the particular poultry is a lot more easy to come by than their more physically fit cousins.. Even with "I'm sorry to have hurt your feelins".. let alone hurt your "flock", nothing's changed. If I was the farmer, he'd probably meet up with the wrong end of a ten gague the second time. Then I'd probably pray for his soul or something.. A false prophet, a false minister, by his or her very nature, will simply endeavor to deceive and rape the flock, figuratively or literally, whether sorry or not, whether "forgiven" or not. I think they are mindless about it, they don't think they did anything wrong. Sometimes it may not be in one's power to sincerely offer forgiveness..
