sprawled out

1. he's the guy we love to hate! 2. it was nice of him to give us so much ammunition to use against him. 3. his massive brow kept the sweat out of his beady eyes 4. if you had any doubt, he proved that Lord Acton was right ("power tends to corrupt...") 5. went out of his way to chase away anyone with even the tiniest shred of independent thought. (most people would've calmed down, made nice, tried to hold on to what was left. not him.)

hey, if the browridge fits! :P (it was a toss-up between that and "cro-martindale.")

loyboy's opinion on an honest day's work might mean more if it was within the realm of his experience. did he EVER have a real job (before he got the heave-ho from twi)? screw him and his opinions about "an honest day's work." call me when you get a job, neanderdale!

i have no use for elton john, musically or otherwise, but i'd have to agree with him on this. not that i'd ban religion, just that think it sucks.

happy birthday, john! (and get a job, before it's time to retire!) :D

thank you, dot.

thanks, george.

i'm way ahead of you, sister.

jeff mohn, rude?? ex, do you remember what the context was? (though my experience with him, 20 years ago, was that he could be rude, and worse, in ANY context!)

he was attractive--by klingon standards.

anyone know what happened to him, where he ended up?

thanks, SV--you and me both!!

dot, you were TOLD that? man, it never occurred to me that it might be intentional. that's more despicable than i ever imagined. (and my opinion of them is pretty low.) but thinking of that time reminded me of one of the moments when the light dawned for me. it was in the same timeframe as my suicide contemplation. i was at some big region function, don't remember what it was, hanging out with my LC/RC--who was the one who spearheaded the attack on me. i was low as could be, feeling as un-self-confident as i'd ever felt. he was getting on me again about whatever it was, and i somehow managed to say "i'm sorry, jeff, i want to believe you. but i just can't help feeling that what you're telling me is bullshît." it made him completely nuts (not that he had far to go), but it was the first step on the road UP for me!

if anyone's interested in seeing those old superman serials, Turner Classic Movies is showing the entire series on saturday mornings, starting at 9 EST. they've been doing it for a few weeks, but i just stumbled on them last saturday. they look great, so they must all be newly restored. jimmy olsen was played by tommy bond, btw, butch from the little rascals.

the only time in my life i ever considered suicide was after i'd been piled on by "leadership" for an infraction that they managed to turn into a deep, dark, hopeless character flaw. i remember thinking i was no good to God, and useless to people, so suicide seemed the reasonable course. it was only the thought of my then two-year old son growing up without a father that pulled me out of it. suicide had always been the furthest thing from my mind and heart, but those "loving" folks with whom i served managed to instill the idea in me. just makes me wonder how many people were specifically put on that path by twi leadership. and how many survived their "counsel."

It was either this, or just "I'm an a**hole." but i didn't know how to spell "a**hole."

Happy, happy birthday From all of us, "F ck you!" Happy, happy birthday Thank God we're rid of you If you must have a birthday Don't forget what's true Happy, happy birthday You suck, you know you do!

what's that line about monkeys and flying and butts?

made me kinda sad. as screwed up as it all was, i have fond memories of that place. (check again, groucho, they were going to wreck kenyon, but didn't. "Kenyon Hall is still standing")

have you heard the story? he says he called the male prostitute "for a massage," and bought meth but never used it! cnn.com well, i certainly believe him. <_<

say no more.

ex--i just checked back on this. too funny. is it that great minds think alike, or just that he's the f'ing devil? beers all around!!

what i just discovered (and i don't mean to derail your thoughtful post, shortfuse) is that you can use altered characters and get away with it. substitute "î" for "i" or "ü" for "u," and you can get away with just about anything. (on a mac, that means holding down the command key when you hit the letter, and then hitting the same letter again after letting go of the command key.) no shît, it's that easy! (stand back, we might've just opened pandora's box!) :lol:

yeah--you're really pîssing me off. (i can't believe you can't say "p-i-s-s" here. THAT really pîsses me off!)
