Dang!! Stumped again!

Now THAT'S really funny!!

Chas. I looked at it very briefly. It really does look quite inviting. I'll have to check it out when I have a bit more time. Thanks waysider

(Excerpted from the ancient fellow laborer history vaults.) waysider Bio Why I'm a F.L.: I'm stuck in the middle of Podunk, USA with a beater car that has bald tires and an empty gas tank. I've got five bucks to my name---no phone---no money for the pay phone. No prospects for employment back home even if I hitch a ride back. I left home as a leader and look forward to returning as a failure in the eyes of my friends and family. But, heck fire, the Debuhl will probably kill me before I get there anyhow. Favorite scripture: All things are temporary. Favorite music style: The stuff I used to write before they sucked the creativity out of my soul and replaced it with stuff that was "Right On". Coolest part of being here:(See favorite scripture) Well, he!!----- At least there's an unlimited supply of familia. (As long as I pay my weekly "Manna" fee.)

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I was walking through the A&P(Super Market) with my parents and my two sisters. My younger sister was seated in the shopping cart. Suddenly, she went limp and fell into a state of unconsciousness. Then, she went into convulsions. It happened very, very quickly. We rushed out to the car and drove to the nearest hospital which was probably about two miles away. Long story made short, she had encephalitis which was likely caused by a mosquito bite. (Encephalitis is really a generic term which means "a swelling/infection of the brain".) There was a city wide outbreak of it that year. If I understand correctly, it runs in about 20 year cycles. The Howard incident was about 20 years later. At the time, we lived about two hours away from HA's incident. A couple years ago, we also had an outbreak near my current residence.(again, approximately within a 20 year time frame.) That young man, unfortunately, expired. So, I am inclined to think that there is a great likelihood that Howard developed encephalitis due to a mosquito bite.(or tick bite) I guess there is no way to know for certain but that's my take on it.

Well, I don't know much about Simpson and Lachey. But, I do know that one of the basic premises taught in Sociology, is that monogamy has been a cherished quality in cultures throughout the history of mankind.

I was in TWI at the time this reportedly happened. I have no insider info. to share on it. As I recall, we were told that they were hunting in Pennsylvania when Howard became ill. (Of course, we know now that their activities in PA were not all of the outdoor variety.) I don't remember if there was ever an announcement stating the nature of his illness. At the time, I think people in the twigs speculated it might be Lyme Disease because you acquire that from being bitten by a deer tick that is carrying it, or that it may have been encephalitis from a mosquito. That's all I know about it.

Ya know, this got me ta thinkin'. Those young'uns ain't been around these parts too much lately. What do you suppose is so all fired important that they don't have time for their old Grandpa waysider lately?

I find that an old fashioned handshake and a smile seem to work just fine for most occasions. If it is a lady I am greeting, I wait for her to extend her hand for the handshake. If she doesn't, then a smile and eye contact, along with a greeting, always seem appropriate. But, of course, that's just my opinion.

Funny how those exact thoughts ran through my mind 30+ years ago as I found myself living in a commune in the middle of Podunk, USA---(Except you can replace "they" with "I")

Looking forward to it.

I'm not sure about the goals "floating", but if you look around the site a bit, you will find a declaration of their "goals". It is identical(as far as I remember) to the Way Corps goals.

Sorry, Bride---- It's an old comedy routine from a comedy troupe called Firesign Theater. Very off the wall. (Before there was Monty Python, there was Firesign Theater.) You can find some of it on youtube, though I'm not sure you can find this particular routine.

Well, it's not for everyone, that's for sure. And that's a good thing. I always try to look at music within a context of what was happening when it was being produced. 'nother words, these guys were crankin' this stuff out while mainstream music was still focused on I Believe In Miracles by Wild Cherry. The same thing holds true for stuff like Purple Haze. Was it one of the greatest songs ever? Heck no. But contrast it to Apple,Peaches,Punkin Pie which was a big hit from the same time frame and you see it in a whole different light. I still find the interaction between Corea and DiMeola to be amazing. It's almost like one person playing both parts. But, Hey! That's just me. Your mileage may vary. (and hopefully will.)

I believe it may have been a student at More Science High that posed that very question to Principle Poop. "Rah!--Rah!---That's the school spirit!!"

Completely stumped.
