Re: Apropos of Nothing

Did Bush get reelected, or is Hillary our new president?

If I knew Bush wasn't go to be re-elected. I would be much more inclined to re-enlist!

*How does King Brian of the Leprechauns feel about Lucky Charms cereal?  You know:  "Frosted Lucky Charms, they're magically delicious!"...with its leprechaun spokesman.

I think Bill O'Reilly looks like a leprechaun.  Of course, he's Irish.

And yeah, Clark, you better be careful about your insults -- deliberate or otherwise.  Unless you want a good arse kicking by those fellows with sparkly green curly-toed shoes!   :angry:

John Ritter Dies.  Aw!  sad

*Wow, what a shock.  I adored him so much as "Jack Tripper" on 3's Company.  He should have had another 20 years at least.

My favorite scene in 3's Company was when Chrissy and Jack were accidentally handcuffed together and couldn't find the key.  Jack had a "hot date" that night, and poor Chrissy got dragged along to the bar with him.  Mayhem!  smile

Thanks for nothing, Oprah. 

Ugh, I hate that guy.  He thinks he knows everything; what a megalomaniac.

I'm visualizing his face on a DARTBOARD.

Re: Apropos of Nothing

I know, John Ritter, I can't believe it...  And Ritter in German means "knight"...
Fare thee well, dear knight; may you find your peace in eternal rest.



And I agree; Dr. Phil is a nuissance anymore.  It's a good thing I don't watch TV except for a couple good shows.

Re: Apropos of Nothing

Lucky Charms cereal?
    LUCKY CHARMS CEREAL, IS IT?!!!!

    Don't be mentioning that filthy sticky breakfast food in the same breath as you speak the proud name of Brian, King of the Leprechauns!
    Much and all as I'm fond of you, Cindy, and hold you in high regard, I cannot long stay the wrath of the Little People if you persist in this reckless folly of disrespect. Say no more now, lest you would invite the same fate upon yourself as awaits that impudent blackguard with the rag-bag rabbit!!! (Or tawdry teddy, or repulsive rodent, or whatever else he thinks it looks like! )
    A dozen wailing screaming banshees will soon decend upon him and his fluffy idol and carry them both off to a place of eternal darkness and torment!
    And don't be telling me you weren't warned!!  :angry:

Re: Apropos of Nothing

Well now, Cindy, that's better.
    You, I think, have redeemed yourself by retracting your irreverence just in the nick of time. In fact, His Majesty King Brian, ever the jovial and forgiving monarch to those who show the proper deference, has expressed pleasure at the playing of "Coronation Anthems" in his honour.
    As a token of special Royal Favour, he bestows upon you honorary membership of 'The Ancient Order of the Little People', an honour not extended to another living soul since King Brian received and entertained Benjamin Franklin in the Emerald Isle over two hundred years ago! [And before that, not since he drank Julius Caesar under the table during negotiations which resulted in their firm friendship and an agreement by Rome not to invade Ireland! ]
    You've evidently struck a chord in His Majesty's heart, Cindy. But then, why not? Is King Brian not a green-blooded and true son of Ireland, with whiskey in his cup, music in his soul, and a glint in his eye for a winsome wench?!!

    As for that recalcitrant reprobate with the distasteful, downy deity, his fate is as good as sealed unless he too repents.

Re: Apropos of Nothing

Your siren songstress arrived, and Frummpers, the Great Teddy Bear God merely guided them in a lovely lullaby medley of Silent Night, bringing happy dreams and snuggly bed-byes to all the boys and girls.

Frummpers is not afraid of the little green men, and looks forward to tickling their tummies, while dancing to the tune of their giggly laughter.

Frummpers will even bring his own violin, so the shamrock charlatans bear-ware!

*Whoa.  Not since Benjamin Franklin and Julius Caesar??   yikes

I had a dream about Ireland around 3 - 4 years ago.  I'd been studying Irish lore -- folk legends, pagan Celtic spiritualist themes -- etc.  Quite intense.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the west coast of Ireland, heading northward.  I could hear the sounds of ocean waves crashing onto rocks below, to my left.  I was barefoot, and could distinctly feel the cool, damp, and lush grass underfoot.  A very fine, cool mist was always pressing against my face.  In the distance, towards the horizon, was a glowing band of faint mauve-colored light.  I walked and walked for hours; it was a very realistic dream.  When I woke up, I was honestly surprised that my feet were dry and clean (no grassblades sticking to them) under the blankets.  Throughout the remainder of the day I felt very relaxed and refreshed.

It was one of the coolest dreams I've ever had.  Thanks, Little People!

Re: Apropos of Nothing

Cindy:-

It was one of the coolest dreams I've ever had. Thanks, Little People!

    Some people regard dreams that lucid as astral travel, an out-of-body experience. My elder son is going through a 'spiritual phase' at the moment and would be quite sure you were in Ireland that night! Or at least he would tell you your consciousness was there, minus your physical self.
    I'm not so sure of everything as to feel confident enough to write off such beliefs. "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
                                        :;):

Clark:-

... so the shamrock charlatans bear-ware!

    Many a foolish man has dismissed the Little People with equal abandon. None has ever done so with impunity. Have a care now ... watch your step!
                                          yikes

How very sweet. *Smiles.*
Personally, she's my favorite lunar goddess.

George, you have nothing on the chivalry of Spider-Man, just give up my friend.

*Laughs.* How flattering!

Well, how can one help himself, how can any of us help ourselves when presented, inspired with such intelligent, entrancing, dianic, truly, feminine wisdom?

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Nice, one of my favorites, when Hamlet isn't crazy anymore...

Indeed, for those interested, look into Karl Jung's psychological philsophy.  I prefer him greatly to Sigmund Freud (both were Swiss and contemporaries to one another), for his emphasis on spirituality and wisdom and the beauty of the human being as an interconnected life force, as opposed strongly to Freud's antifeministic misogynism, belittlement of inner self, and opium-induced, lunatic, archaic idiosyncratical idiocies.
I think Jung still uses too many stereotypes and anachronisms, but at least he doesn't have "penis envy" ? probably the dumbest contrivence ever in the history of psychiatric medicine.
