basement_shaman whose advice has been invaluable in all areas except my woman problem. And horus who taught me the benefits of nicotine. Thanks to these members my refrigerator is full of plastic containers storing snuff. As a result I had to move my baby seal carcass to a friends refrigerator which entailed much discussion and research concerning whether baby seal is kosher. All resolved. i did have enough room left for my California Condor eggs and black rhinoceros steaks. Nothing like a Rhino steak and Condor egg for breakfast. (and for the curious, they all taste like chicken) And to aanycard and the others who enjoy my sense of humor. As a thanks to you all I’ve arranged appointments with my long term psychiatrist, Dr. Rosen, who will give you script for thorazine, valium and lithium. This will save you significant money as lifting a spoon of snuff to your nose will now take over an hour if you can stay awake that long. and Horus, I believe Osiris’ left leg and 3 fingers are at the bottom of the salt sea. Well preserved by the 35 % salinity. My best to Isis who I knew in my youth. and to many others who have me buying snuff and snuff boxes far beyond what I could possibly need. Seriously, (wow, that’s odd, asieg being serious you say to yourselves) you have taught me about snuff and how to best take it for which I am quite grateful as my enjoyment is far greater now. And to the mods for there forbearance and a note of historical import. Edward of England ended the Scottish uprising by using a trebouchet to throw a piano over the castle walls. the scots became so enamored of piano playing they surrendered peacefully rather than risk their hands and ability to play Mozart fighting England. If they but knew Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyries the war would have continued and been won.(I may have gotten a few historical facts wrong but the essence is here) thanks and may you never know throat hits.
Are you going to jump?
And a thank you to you for keeping the forum lively!
basement_shaman - already jumped. Forgot the helmet I’m required to wear when on swing sets. Landed on head. But my thanks to you guys are really sincere.
There a fine line between genius and insanity some say I am certifiable and this is the line; on one hand it means genuine, authentic and on the other crazy, insane.
Oh well… _ certifiable _ is better than signed, sealed and delivered , isn’t it?
I always heard it was “true genius is to teeter on the brink of insanity” I teetered over that edge a long time ago 8-}
I always heard “A clean car is a sure sign of a disturbed mind” and “genius is messy”
If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign? Albert Einstein
they did a study some time back. They found that if you have a library regularly used for research 10% of the books are generally used and 1% are used constantly. Genius’ (which is what the study was about) generally had the 10% nearby and the 1% on their desks. So, it was concluded, this type of sloppiness was associated more closely with genius. einsteins clean desk was a function of quantum mechanics which suddenly transported all the desk contents to the star sirius (an approximate chance of 1 to the 70 second power) whose people used them instead of comic books. On his desk were packs of cigarettes and snuff. He then switched to pipes in his belief that, with a clear desk, it would enhance his image in photographs. the part of his brain sent to U of Kansas still has a nicotine jones.
Many thanks to all the members, That keep this forum worth coming back to. please continue to stick around.
