I'm only getting the tiniest hint of what I'm missing - or what's missing me. The atmosphere is already clearing

[wesw]

ha!

like moths to the flame tho, eh?

yeah, jim, I thought that you would like that one.

and like trump, I pledge my loyalty to plan b, and all its varied splendor and insanity.

I will desist..., until the next time....

anyway, the repubs have cried uncle, and trump will be their nominee, and he is all kissy kissy now..

my work here is done.

I remember when guin was upset that I directed all my ire at Hillary, and ignored the many faults of the rrepubs.

I assured her that when, Bush looked to have the slightest shot at victory, I would shift my fire...

...well, I couldn t wait for that impossible dream, so...., the repubs have been served....

back to Hillary now..., but she has been so mousy lately that I can t find her anywhere!

so Alibama, and the 40 dweebs will have to suffice..., for now...

[wesw]

and that Godzilla clip was hilarious!!!

it wasn t an official video, just clips from the real movie that some fellow had edited into a shortened version of the song...

...and the elephant seals! trump emerging from the sea, larger than life, and taking the beach? man, that was brilliant!!!

genius is only appreciated when it is lost...

so out brief candle, out..., I shall weep for your extinguished flame....

ETA-and , in true trumplike fashion, the numbers for this thread belie its widely shouted unpopularity, and unfitness for reading.

Over the years on this board, I've only had three people on ignore...

I had rube on ignore for nearly the first two years this place was in existence, and only commented on things he said when they were quoted by others...

Eventually seeing bizarre nonsense posted about how he was some kind of "victim" convinced me I was giving him too much of a "free ride"

I had Andrew D on ignore a couple of times, when he decided to troll me (Something he apologized for, and explained was a result of medications he was on, when I later spoke with him on the phone.)

I had wes on ignore for a while, and only opened his posts if I saw a single post listed; if there were multiple posts in a row, I scrolled past without opening them...

A policy I may return to....

[wesw]

ha!

I m no victim, never claimed to be. far from it. you must have missed the post where I shot that down.

[Lord Jim]

Re-read my post wes...

I wasn't talking about you in that comment wes. I was talking about rube...

That comment wasn't even near the part of the post where I mention you...

I know this is tough for you to believe, but not everything that is posted here is about you...

[wesw]

i was mistaken . I did not read carefully, I am sorry .

you are right, I was wrong.

see, rube, it s easy....

eta- I had guin and sue on ignore for a couple of months, but I read and replied to their posts anyway.

I missed some tho, I m sure, and the ones I missed were probably their best most cogent posts..., it amused me...

[wesw]

oh my, there were 666 posts to this thread!

that proves the the donald is the devil!!!!

[Guinevere]

Like Trump, a bunch of words that have no basis in actual fact. Unlike Trump, no one here believes them.

[wesw]

jiminy Christmas.

guin, I would like to respond to your post, and I may. there is no easy response however, and I don t really have much more enthusiasm for this whole exchange.

besides , me and the dog just went out and fumigated the new truck, and I should wait til my mind clears....

this truck is a boy. I have to name him.

my first 75 supercab (with the three ninety car motor), was ford gold (yeller) and he was named old yeller. I did enventually put him down, but his heart lives on in towtruck on Virginia s eastern shore.

my current 75 supercab was two tone ford blue (the bright and sky blue), now it is briht ford blue and flat black. he is named old blue, and he is faithful, I plan to be with him until one of us dies, my son will take him if I pass first.

this truck is grey, and is a strong old beast, who has aged well. he needs a name. I think a dog name would be good. jack London....hmmmm

[BoSoxGal]

Buck

[wesw]

damn, I just read To Build a Fire-jack London. I m sure I read it when I was a kid, iread every thing by him in the local library, but it was new to me today.

wow. there was a mistake. he would not have felt the matches burning his hand, but still, a Persian rug.

I wish that grey dog had a name...

[wesw]

well, bigsky, I almost said... "buck it is..."

but that short story got to me.

I identify more with buck, but Grey Dog touched me.

this truck is meant to carry on back to camp after I get too cold, the boy or the girl will look after him.

for now I ll nurse him back to strength..., he has things to do.

Grey Dog it is.

or maybe Old Buck....

"further"

. Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. If you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. If you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn.

When people ask me what I think is my best work, it's the bus. There're lots of books, but there's only one bus.

When people ask me about LSD, I always make a point of telling them you can have the shit scared out of you with LSD because it exposes something, something hollow. Let’s say you have been getting on your knees and bowing and worshiping; suddenly, you take LSD and you look and there’s just a hole, there’s nothing there. The Catholic Church fills this hole with candles and flowers and litanies and opulence. The Protestant Church fills it with hand-wringing and pumped-up squeezing emotions because they can’t afford the flowers and the candles. The Jews fill this hole with weeping and browbeating and beseeching of the sky: How long, how long are you gonna treat us like this? The Muslims fill it with rigidity and guns and a militant ethos. But all of us know that’s not what is supposed to be in that hole. After I had been at Stanford two years, I was into LSD. I began to see that the books I thought were the true accounting books — my grades, how I’d done in other schools, how I’d performed at jobs, whether I had paid off my car or not — were not at all the true books. There were other books that were being kept, real books. In those real books is the real accounting of your life.

One of these days you're going to have a visitation. You're going to be walking down the street and across the street you're going to look and see God standing over there on the street corner motioning to you, saying, "Come to me, come to me." And you will know it's God, there will be no doubt in your mind — he has slitty little eyes like Buddha, and he's got a long nice beard and blood on his hands. He's got a big Charlton Heston jaw like Moses, he's stacked like Venus, and he has a great jeweled scimitar like Mohammed. And God will tell you to come to him and sing his praises. And he will promise that if you do, all of the muses that ever visited Shakespeare will fly in your ear and out of your mouth like golden pennies. It's the job of the writer in America to say, "Fuck you God, fuck you and the Old Testament that you rode in on, fuck you." The job of the writer is to kiss no ass, no matter how big and holy and white and tempting and powerful.

"Electric cool aid acid test"

I tip my hat to you, Gob.

Jet lag and all.

[wesw]

boy, acid left you hollow?

just the opposite for me, it filled in the hollow spaces in this world, and showed me that there was more to see, and think than I had ever imagined, more than I could understand....

I guess it just enhances your inherent personality....

....and the clothes seemed so pointless when it was warm .....

'splain, Rucy!" I read the book (back in the day) but why does the word "further" produce the ECAAT?
