A poem

[Monkey Face]

There are so many different desert things here...I like the ocotillo because it is not only beautiful but very useful for a number of things.

I think I could talk all night on the desert, so I'll quit before I lose my audience.

Whispers* Out here, it's called "jumping cholla" because all you have to do is walk by it and it will grab you...

[King Prout]

mine are close to the surface, and huge.
unfortunately, they are also "rollers"

[King Prout]

not as "duh" as all that - ya gotta know WHY one end should be up before you make a decision. tapers and proportions, mannn...

[Monkey Face]

Wow. All I have to do is walk a mile three times a week and my metabolism goes into high gear. I thought it was normal until my ex-fiance and I walked three miles three times a week. He never lost an ounce, and I had to eat a whole 15" pizza on those nights to keep from losing more weight...

[Monkey Face]

I really hope this bow-making is a good experience for you. It might even evolve into something that pays...so-to-speak...

[NicknamedBob]

Aw dang! I have nothing to contribute to the conversation about abnormally low body temperature, blood pressure, and invisibilty to motion sensors.

I'm just so blasted normal!

I just know I'm going to get voted off the island of misfit toys! -- (Pretty funny, huh, 'Face? Me being called normal! -- *giggle/snort*)

[Darksheare]

My veins frequently stick out.
Had a nurse sensuously run her fingers across the veins with her eyes lit up as if it were the most fascinating thing she'd ever seen.
Creeped me out..

[King Prout]

several folks locally have made noises about desiring a handmade bamboo bow...

the question is: will they pay the price I'd have to charge, or will the balk and crawdad?

[Monkey Face]

I had a high-school friend who had to move from AZ to Washington State because she had no sweat glands and couldn't process the heat. She is the first cousin to a guy who stars on General Hospital...

[Darksheare]

I've had lights begin flickering, or explode, but not go out.
When doors don't recognize me, they do so at their own peril.
I discovered that a good solid hit on most such doors will convince them to pivot open on their emergency release pins.

[Darksheare]

Normal!
Cool, what is it like?

[King Prout]

I've given somewhere over 5 gallons of blood.
the lust some of the vamps display upon seeing my pipes is a bit... odd.

[Monkey Face]

They make you work, though! Been a long time since I worked up THAT kind of sweat in 10 minutes!!!

[tuliptree76]

Wow.

[NicknamedBob]

Ah, yes, of course, but then, it is asymmetric, is it not?

One wonders if this is to give a slight gravity defying flick upon launching, so as to negate the effect of the arrow "falling" for that millisecond in which it is traversing the bow.

[A CA Guy]

She does look rather long in the tooth, though she gave me a good long look over.

(Horny old drooling thing)...

[Darksheare]

Almost like a wait-a-minute vine, eh?
A wait-a-minute vine is ths odd looking reject from the rain forest.
Grows in the wild here in NY/NJ/PA.
It is medium green, has oval leaves, and yellow thorns slightly longer than a quarter inch, thorns tipped in red or black.
Walking by it grants one the unique feeling of thorns grabbing you and saying "Wait a minute".

[King Prout]

not me - these things just go out.
not all of them. about 1 in 10
on foot, driving, or as a passenger - irrespective of vehicle or location.
sometimes I know it is going to happen.
in calm company, this can be a nifty parlor trick.
in unsettled company... I'd rather it not happen.

Hi! (How do I abbreviate HKMk23?)

I spent the first five years of my life in Alaska, and then the next 17 in the heart of the Rockies, but I just cannot tolerate cold. It's a four-letter word. ;o]

[Monkey Face]

Mine are huge, too, and on the topside, they roll, but no one has yet been able to find a vein on my right elbow, or find one on the top of the joint. And if they use the hand veins for anything, I bruise to my armpits.
