Good advice but I need to add this . If people can't take a jolt or two now and then, what kind of friend would they possibly be in the future? You just have to be a little careful how you go doing it. Advice that I would like to hand over to Justice and anyone else who is planning on entering this forum. Note this. None of the regulars here shock easily so you have to use that attitude sparingly.
Victoria for example, I would approach VERY carefully! And Mr. Twigsnapper? I don't think you have enough voltage available to ruffle him if he has decided not to be ruffled. Its kind of a losing situation when you come up with a force like that.
And Trickfox you and I know you are pretty good with that cattle prod yourself. If you lost friends because of your use of it, perhaps they just were overly sensitive and not worth it anyway
Frankly I just want to get past all this rhetoric so we can make progress. I just found out what the motto for the submarine that Paul will be writing about next chapter. The Cutlass motto was ACTION not WORDS. But since at the moment all we have now is words ... I guess we have to do the best with what we have. Elizabeth.
Yeah it would be nice to get back to cathies work...that is the thread topic.
I have to take my leave from the great Jedi master Yoda, the robed elder, who once said, Fear leads to anger, anger to hatred, hatred to suffering...
I sense a lot of fear here, not of me, but that maybe there is information out there that you don't all know about. You think you are all the experts and you have figured 99% of everything out...
So when someone comes along and say's hey, you dropped that...
It freaks you out and rather go thanks, i needed that...
You (plural) go WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY COURT?
I had a classical education at Boston Latin SChool, the best and oldest and most prestigious school in the world as far as I am concerned, I tested in the 99% percentile from the 2nd grade through the 9th grade and then i realized that i hated doing school work.
So i rebeled against all authority and eventually dropped out of high school when i turned 18 - to find myself. But while I was going to ave loius pasteur and declaming walt whitman, thoreau and Patrick Henry, from the age of 12 onward i was also my father's sidekick into the Boston Irish Mafia underworld made so famous now in movies like the Departed, Southie, good will hunting and my personal favorite Boondock saints.
My father was in the Army, then Black ops and delta and hes done some whacked out shit. I was there for a lot of it when he went after whitey. I wasn't there when whitey returned the favor and he and jackie the rifelman flemmi paid him a visit on april 23, 1993 the 13 year anniversary of another suicide mission, and shot my dad 5 times with a 9mm and then stabbed him three times...
But my dad lived, flemmi ran like a scared rabbit and eventually turned himself over to authorities, and despite sightings of casper the friendly ghost - whitey has yet to surface...
Extra-ordinary people get that way becasue of the things they expereince in life. Not becasue they ARE extra-ordinary.
So, If you want to offer me out to a fight, as we used to say in the soouthie housing projects, then lets do it. I won't ever back down and cower in the corner. If you cut me i will bleed, and i will retaliate in kind and defend myself.
SO TTB forum, et tu brute?
Do you want to dance, do you want to smoke a bone and discuss the mysteries of life, or do you want to stick your heads in the sand and be a bunch of self depricating pricks?
So i am not impressed with anyone credentials here - period. I don't care of you worked for EG&G or Bechtel, or Boeing, or you inveneted the quantum flux capacitor, or your dad was a famous physcist or you worked for the CIA...I've been there, seen all that and in some cases, done that...
Now if you can tell me how is that a man living in new zealand who had his first UFO sighting on March 12, 1965 predicted that at some point in the future a great "harmonic experiement," could be conducted at 36 degrees 55 minutes and 08 seconds of latitude and on March 12, 1997 made an 600 foot wide 35ft thick and 25ft deep dark boomerang float over my head on the 5 year anniversary of my grandfathers death (3/13/92)...then i would be impressed.
If you can tell me how it is that just 6 hours after this UFO event (3/12/97)on March 13, 1895 at 2am Nikola teslas lab was blown up in manhattan, and how on the same date, Troubleshooter 615 plunges into the atlanic ocean, clinton busts knee in hobe sound, MSTI 3 satellite is disabled and gov. fife symingtons sees the same Boomerang shaped object in Phoenix along with about 800 other people, meanwhile hubble takes a mysterious picture of an oblong object eminating from GRB 970228...
Then i will be impressed. Until then your semantics and attacks just annoy me and make wonder why i should bother. But there is a part of me that i have found likes to fight, enjoys the battle, or perhaps just the attention, or all of that and a ball of wax, but people often need to be beaten into submission, becasue they won't, can't or don't change their preconceived views without a fight. It's that fear of the unkown thing i mentioned before.
Seriously what are you all so afraid of? THis question can only illicit the most defensive posterizing, but it has to be asked none the less. DO you liz have all the answers? Do you paul? Twig? Victoria?
Life is journey people, not a destination.
Until then, god gave us all two ears and one mouth for a reason, so that we would listen more than we spoke.
