MP4 is a man.... - Oldsailors Poet

Heh. When I refer to MPPPPPPetc talking to the Mrs, I have settled on "Poppins." Least confusing of several possibilities. I suppose an alternative would be "Pierce," but, naww.

Billy bring this, just a little. Talking about fanatics, I only meant, with some folks, there's topics you can talk about, and topics you can't. When you got to know someone in one context where they were fanatical and you can just ignore them, then you meet them being more normal in other circumstances, it's kind of funny.

Which reminds me: Mom's having about 3 dozen people for Thanksgiving. Practice in diplomacy.

"I don't really see any stubborn mean spirited reliigious nastiness here. It's more political demonization."

That's the parallel I intended, of course. Fanatical True Believers exist in ... every? ... category. (Fanatical quilters? Probably.)

I don't think I'm nuts to the point of banning-yet. ;^) -FenelonSpoke

You'd have to shrilly interject your opinion in all exchanges, insisting your beliefs are divine and everyone else's are demonic. For the full effect. You'll have to up your game, gentle friend.

Need I correct "we had a horse" to "hit"?

Back in the day, on CompuServe religion forum, there were characters who, like some folks here, seemed out of place, too, um, enthusiastic, pushy, insistent about q particular belief - nuts to the point of banning. Then I'd see the same person in some technical forum and they seemed perfectly normal. I suppose we can all be like that, given the right circumstances.

The wife and I were on a two-lane several years ago, when a deer jump between our car and approaching car. Nowhere to turn, fortunately, it only clipped the front end of our car. With a little work, we could still get the door open, so we never fixed it. The deer was probably badly hurt, but ran off. But coming between two cars in the middle of the night on a two lane road, that was really scary.

I was a passenger asleep in the front seat in 1978, when we had a horse. When I woke up, my face was mangled, but fortunately, all that blood all over everything wasn't mine. At least most of it.

You were just driving down the road, everything seems fine... WHAM

Good morning. I slept late and started by leisurely setting up the coffee. Glad y'all didn't wait for me.

Ah! Coffee's cooked!

"Oops. Was that a spoiler?"

Darn, and I was going to put that on our viewing list between Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street (original). Now it's ruined. Ruined for me!

This is where rewinding DST gets to me. Yesternight, this was 11PM. And so, dear friends, good night.

"Veronica has a nice set of sweater puppies in that pic."

Just look at that curling lip of disdain on the anarchist Jughead, who appears to be about 30 and probably has several indecent tats.

When I realized the first symbol I looked at was supposed to be X-Men not railroad crossing, I quit trying.

But I couldn't help recognizing four others on the way by. siiigh

At first I didn't think I'd made the top o' the pops this week, but then I looked again at the list of shame.

Happy continuing Halloween.

I'd like to know if the sockpuppeteer names in the list picked randomly, intentionally, or what then? 'Cause, funny!

Hey, cool! I suggested Reverse Alinsky to UrbanDictionary.com back in October. Doesn't appear to have been accepted. Which I assume is because of a lack of usage. So, progress.

From October, my Reverse Alinsky page. May be the other reason UD didn't accept it. :/ Wow, the election seems like a lifetime ago!

And, I'm caught up to Doc's safe landing. Whew. Hard to believe the incredible suspense. Good thing I was laughing uncontrollably.

Really, we should just wind time forward an hour every Spring, but never wind it back in the Autumn. That'll be even better.

I figure the time zone change guy just woke up and flipped the switch in Niue. Or the Cocos Islands.
