But work is getting done. <br /><br />Just so happened to have a key to one of the doors that is normally locked. Got to witness some notes of an interesting dialogue by a number of people sitting at the table. Cross pollination is happening and challenges are being met. As long as people are still able and willing to participate. <br /><br />We've all got our reasons for being here and doing what we do. I'm no judge. But I do see, so I've been told (thanks Bigg). For the most part, what is seen is observed through a number of discarded lenses. Burning-dog is slowing down on only three legs. He still gets me there though... eventually.<br /><br />These comments are relevant to the deeper theme of what we are actively participating in. We, those who log in. Unfortunately my access to one of the wholly chambers in the GHK is soon to expire (any day now). Next time I do need to get in, I may have to knock and hope that someone answers. <br /><br />Then again... I'm not sure I'll ever need to go back. <br /><br />Yours truly, <br />Will the Embrace-orWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-51465243927612319402012-06-06T14:42:10.876+09:002012-06-06T14:42:10.876+09:00Thanks for the introduction.

Southern California......Glad you found that funny.<br /><br />Southern California... I'd just recently listened to lo Nuestro Himno, quite a beautiful song. <br /><br />When I power-lift gargantuan words, they tend to drop with a thud. Never pretty. Too much grunting and sweat.

English class in high school however was my worst subject.

And keyword searches.<br /><br />While I have not read Vol.II in it's entirety, I can say that it starts out well.<br /><br />"They were all really intelligent-looking men, with their long, dignified beards, and it was impossible to realize that they were low, unlettered savages without moral courage, lazy, and strongly given to drunkenness, supporting themselves by hunting with bow and arrow and fishing. One of the Japanese with me asked them<br />where I came from, and they answered that I was the same as the Japanese!"<br /><br />Oh, and the part about falconry. The way they would hunt Duck... Gotta have a way to feed the Japanese troops. <br /><br />Wonder if Morse would have known. Apparently, he wasn't too versed on how to ride, so he may have well been ignorant. Which would be somewhat of a surprise, considering when he lived. Wait a minute, he got booted from school for not paying attention... so it would make sense. Sometimes it pays off not to sleep through history class. Especially the gory parts. <br /><br />Anyway...Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-79258636119140629762012-06-05T22:33:56.189+09:002012-06-05T22:33:56.189+09:00Yes, yes, yes.

Not that it matters. There's a fair amount of wordplay 'n stuff that goes on 'cause I'm trying to keep things in the vernacular. <br /><br />Anyway...Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-1768769923814135892012-06-05T13:51:59.653+09:002012-06-05T13:51:59.653+09:00Cringe, feel sad, or laugh?

My guess is that, taken out of context, most people would laugh... at first. <br /><br />Sticks and stones may break bones and a little laughter never hurt anyone. But elevator shafts... that's a whole 'nother level. <br /><br />Some of the best jokes are funny simply because they take a while to 'get'. When I laugh at idiots, it is because I can relate to them. That I will admit to. Laughing at idiots a way of hedging my bets, a kind of insurance policy. Let me put it this way... if I ever realize that I've put myself in a similar situation and it's kind of too late, at least I've got something to laugh about on the way down. The shiny side of the Darwin Award.<br /><br />*********<br />CFI: You said you thought you heard him making noises on the way down.<br /><br />Witness: Yeah... kind of like laughter. <br /><br />CFI: Some people should be so lucky. <br /><br />********<br />Truth be told, I got pissed off not too long ago. A quick, forceful burst of movement did nothing but damage me and no one or anything else. And now I'm paying the price as well as enjoying a little bitter-sweet return on that insurance policy mentioned above. First I cringed (cause it hurt), then I felt sad (for myself mainly), and then I had to laugh. <br /><br />Wifey thinks I'm an idiot. She's right. I still feel lucky.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-90021218928047838962012-06-05T12:52:30.204+09:002012-06-05T12:52:30.204+09:00Than you.

The post labels are hints. <br /><br />Buried somewhere in Volume II is a very freak-out description of a 'centipede' encounter that puts the "Temple of Doom" to shame... well, almost. <br /><br />We the people, becoming a more perfect union, sure are a messed up species with a fatal case of optimism. Some people say it might be genetic while others adamantly insist that it is a curse from above. <br /><br />Glad I can still laugh.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-83954627739556505772012-06-05T09:23:55.058+09:002012-06-05T09:23:55.058+09:00I think I'm one of those people that gets lost...I think I'm one of those people that gets lost reading your posts. Now that chris told everybody how to cheat on the test I can follow along with everybody else. To be honest your words still zoom past my head at 100mph+.<br /><br />On that video with the guy going down the shaft, I dont know if I should cringe, feel sad, or maybe laugh? Does that make me a jacked up person to want to laugh at somebody being an idiot?<br /><br />Christ, I attempt to be an artist with my pictures, but your words are just on a different level.hardkoretomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637315810666645815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-44471918139302530842012-06-05T01:37:36.515+09:002012-06-05T01:37:36.515+09:00I hope folks get this.
