"When all else fails I have strong powers of denial."

Ha! That sounds like a useful trait.

"Out of the night, when the still moon is bright, comes a ... voice ...

"I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything."

"I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything."

That is an amateur approach. I do not deny responsibility for an action. I deny the action entirely. If it never happened it certainly isn't my fault.

"I deny the action entirely."

I'm remembering, perhaps mis-remembering, a movie that may have been titled, "How To Cheat On Your Wife." The scene I recall had Sid Caesar, caught flagrantly in bed with another woman, calmly confusing his wife, (Imogene Coca).

He and the woman get up, get dressed, make the bed, and so forth, all the while denying that anything happened, or is happening.

The scene ends with the wife, looking around at a room which has no evidence of what she knows she saw, saying, "Uh, how do you want your breakfast?"

[Conspiracy Guy]

It works I tell you!

[SAMWolf]

Thanks. Saved me some time that I can loan you.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks but I found a case of time in the bedroom closet. I had forgotten it was there.

Thanks but I found a case of time in the bedroom closet. I had forgotten it was there.

Shoot! I'll bet I have a bunch of time in that coffee can in my closet! I always throw in the extra minutes I have at the end of the day. Thanks for jogging the old memory.

[Conspiracy Guy]

No problem. Glad I could help.

just wanted to let you know about another place poets gather.
the poetry cafe on voodoo chat.
the prog can be gotten here:
http://www.santanacreations.com/voodoo.html
theres also a reader that will scroll .txt files into the chat room.
also... if you see serene, you can get on the mailing for poetry underground... a group of the more serious writers who would rather read than chat (they meet once a week, usuallly in a password protected room).
tell her mycal sent you. ;)
they are all good people and ive known most for years from excites old vp prog.

thanx for tolerating me for a while and it would be great to see your names next time im on voodoo ( i was once a fly in their ointment too).

old sarge if youll contact me ill put up an unstamped image for you, and maybe put your words up on my site.

Peace,
akaM
