I'm so stupid, I signed up and got the Zot.

It is good to know that you have been unShanghaied and are now Peking back into the thread.

And the reports that you may leave again are filling us with Malaisia. Rest assured, it wasn't the same without you.

For example, my fingers don't hurt from typing International American; International American; International American; International American; International American; ...

Owww!

[NicknamedBob]

"A bit underdressed, don't ya think? "

Nah!

She's just wearing invisible clothes.

[Darksheare]

Umm.. is it a bad thing if the shaker doesn't detect any souls within three foot of it while I'm holding it?

[Darksheare]

LOL, thansk!

[Lady Jag]

More! More!

[Lady Jag]

She looks fantastic to me! Not at all too undressed. Methinks she needs to be animated into completely disappearing. What say you?

[Lady Jag]

Umm.. is it a bad thing if the shaker doesn't detect any souls within three foot of it while I'm holding it?

What is its functional radius?

[Darksheare]

*shrugs*
Underdressed can be an advantage at times, especially during hot weather.

[Darksheare]

Fifty feet supposedly.
Handbook says five hundred though.
*shrugs*
It detects something, but it seems to be outside of thirty feet.
Hmm.

[Lady Jag]

Underdressed can be an advantage at times, especially during hot weather.

Women are handicapped that way. For us, it is simply not possible.

Today's news -- the release of J. K. Rowling's newest book in the Harry Potter series, -- shows that there is an insatiable appetite for adventurous tales that reach into the ordinary and commonplace to elevate an average person to the extraordinary.

One does not have to have delusions of grandeur to feel that the world fails to appreciate your special talents and abilities.

Like the kids of Lake Woebegone, we are all above average; each and every one of us. Like the flowers that rise out of the unpromising dirt, we are all exquisite examples of a miraculous art, the bringing of life, and sentience, to formerly unliving, dead matter.

Small wonder that the religious among us feel that we have been given a special gift, the "Breath of Life." That each of us is like a candle lit with the flame or spark of divinity. Each of us is a miracle.

We are not "normal." We are so far above "normal" as to be halfway to Heaven.

We are alive! And that is not normal. Across the length and breadth and depth of this magnificent universe, being alive is such a rarity as to be unquestioningly a miracle anywhere!

It makes me feel grand, too!

(Didja get yer money's worth?)

[Lady Jag]

So, what you are trying o tell me is you have no soul. This is news. Tell me how it happened. Did you lose it, sell it, barter it? Didn't you have a soul patch?

[Darksheare]

Well, in some states the courts have ruled that there is a right to such things.
*shrugs*
weird.

[Darksheare]

Well, it would explain why I always feel cold to the touch like a walking ice cube.
Think it had to do with that weird bite I had a few years back..

[Lady Jag]

Garrison Keillor is insane, and I mean to say it in a bad way. We're all unique, just like everyone else? I want my money back . . . or else.

[Lady Jag]

Not entire states, just beaches. Have you ever been to those beaches? I have.

[NicknamedBob]

Those were not Garrison Keillor's words; they were my words.

But you can have your money back...

[Lady Jag]

[Lady Jag]

No offense, I'm sorry. Just came in from outside and bad air gave me a terrible headache.

What you were saying was mostly spiritual and what I was thinking of was my teacher friends and how NEA "equality" is ruining everyone who goes through the system.

Some judges have gotten the idiotic idea (Mass.) to give JDs (juvenile Delinquents) the choice of Detention or returning to school. 90% of the teachers I know are women and some of these crimes were violent and the young men are large oafs. Teachers are scared witless, yet are powerless to do anything at all, including defending themselves.

I rarely rant. That could be it for another 4 months or so. Thank you and please return to your regular programming.

[NicknamedBob]

Not everything I have written has been known to cause women in particular to gush and flow, and dissolve into quivering masses of ecstatic flesh.

But I was surprised when you asked for your money back.
