Oh, I want a blue one. That's always been my favorite color. But, if you can get the whole set, you can color a wonderful world.

Holy Mackerel!!! That's a scene straight out of Fahrenheit 451, which was published in 1953 as an expanded version of The Fireman (1951). In the scene, people are each assigned a book to memorize and recite so that the books will never be completely lost once they're burned. They then meet at a secret hiding place. Plot summary: "---- When he arrives at Faber's home, the old man tells Montag of vagabond book-lovers in the countryside. Montag then escapes to a local river, floats downstream and meets a group of older men who, to Montag's astonishment, have memorized entire books, preserving them orally until the law against books is overturned. They burn the books they read to prevent discovery, retaining the verbatim content (and possibly valid interpretations) in their minds." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451

Now I remember it.

That's some memorable stuff, for sure. Hail Atlantis!

Nope---doesn't sound familiar.

Oh, Yeah! Never had that while I was in TWI but I love it with breakfast!

I thought "arguing over nothing" is what we did on the "Cult of Zero" thread.

And we weren't supposed to use microwave ovens because "Grace said" they strip out all the nutritional value.

YOUR TURN!

Oh, yeah. Guess I shouldn't try to post and roll a dove-tail joint at the same time.

If you can get enough of them, you could make your own "lite-the-stinkin' driveway" thingies.

Life---as seen through a glass eye

OK---I'll bite

They feared it??? Oh no! We all know what fear results in. Why, if I were a betting man-------

What if each of us sent them a penny and requested a receipt for taxes?

I wonder if they require their unemployed followers to tithe of their unemployment checks.

"Come to think of it, I think this song was performed by a woman." You are correct on that point. The group was fronted by a woman.

That eeke, eeke, eeke sound is some sort of tree dwelling insect. I was never able to figure out just what kind. As to tree frogs, when my son was in 3rd or 4th grade, we got butterfly nets and caught tree frog tadpoles (pollywogs) at the temporal pools on nearby construction sites. We put them in a big galvanized tub next to a tree in our backyard. Every night we would go outside and watch the developing tree frogs make their pilgrimage into the canopy of the surrounding trees. Even today, we can here those frogs singing their songs as a rain approaches. Memories like that aren't for sale---- not even on ebay. edit: OK---I know they're not the same frogs we released.

Sprouts-----lots and lots of sprouts

If I lived the rest of my life without ingesting another flax seed, it would be just peachy, keen, jim-dandy with me.

Same era, but, no.

Blue Sky, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park.
