    Hey Grrrl!!!

    He has been known as the father of fantasy. A must read, "The Eternal Champion" series by Michael Moorcock. Just borrow any part of the series at your local pub lib. Does not really matter which one ya pick up and peruse.

    Also, "The Sun Trilogy", by CJ Cherryh is an excellent sci fantasty.

    Those are my picks, BUT, the suggestions offered on this thread are truly excellent!!!

    (Bruce Springsteen and Warren Zevon)

    I was born down by the river where the dirty water flows

    And the cold wind cut through me; it cut right through my clothes

    And the anger and the yearning, like fever in my veins

    Set the fire burning

    She came down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the line

    From the first time I laid eyes on her I know that she'd be mine

    Her father was a lawman--he swore he'd shoot me dead

    'Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie and I'd haver her like I said

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    Shooter like me

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    Shooter on her side

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    We met down by the river on the final day in May

    And when I leaned down to kiss her, she did not turn away

    I drew out all my money and together we did vow

    To meet that very evening, and get away somehow

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    Shooter like me

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    Shooter on her side

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    The night was cold and rainy down by the borderline

    I was riding hard to meet her when a shot rang out behind

    As I lay there in the darkness with a pistol by my side

    Jeannie and her father rode off into the night

    Jeannie needs a shooter

    About Paul C. Bragg, N.D. Ph.D.

    Lecturer and Advisor to Olympic Athletes, Royalty and Stars.

    Life Extension Nutritionist, Author of 22 Health Books, World Health Crusader, Originator of Health Food Stores and Founder of the Health Movement

    For almost a Century, Living Proof that his "Health and Fitness Way of Life" Works Wonders!

    Paul C. Bragg: Father of America's Health Movement.

    This dynamic Crusader for worldwide health and fitness is responsible for more firsts in the history of Health than any other individual.

    Here are some of Bragg's Amazing Pioneering Achievements that the World Now Enjoys:

    Bragg originated, named and opened the first Health Food Store in America. Now they are around the world.

    Bragg Crusades pioneered the first Health Lectures throughout America, inspiring followers to open health stores in cities across the land. Giants such as General Nutrition Centers, Nature Food Centers, Mrs. Gooch's and hundreds of other stores give their thanks to Bragg's early inspiration to their founders.

    Dr. Bragg and Bernarr Macfadden opened the first Health Spa, which soon became the new Miami Beach. "Macfadden's Deauville" became the 'in' spot for the famous and even to Royalty from around the world.

    He opened the first Health Restaurants. During the depression years in New York City they served millions of healthy meals for a penny each. Bragg Books and Crusades inspired health followers to open Health Restaurants - The Good Earth and others.

    He was the first to pioneer for pure water and made millions aware of its importance. Through his efforts with the Bragg Health Crusades and the Bragg Water Book - Water - The Shocking Truth That Can Save Your Life - now bottled water is available worldwide. Your body is 65% water, and water (8 glasses of distilled water daily) is the needed key to all bodily functions.

    He introduced Juice Therapy in America by importing the first hand-juicers from Germany. He was the inspiration to Jay Kordich the Juiceman.

    Bragg introduced his new idea, pineapple juice, then later tomato juice, to the American public. These were erroneously thought to be too acid. These health beverages have now become favorite of millions worldwide.

    He was the first to introduce and distribute honey nationwide. Before that, it was available only at farmers' roadside stands. He inspired millions to give up white sugar for honey and replace white flour products with healthy whole grain flours.

    Bragg pioneered Radio Health Programs from Hollywood three times daily.

    Paul and his daughter Patricia pioneered a Health TV show from Hollywood to spread "Health and Happiness"...the name of the show! It included exercises, health recipes, visual demonstrations and guest appearances by famous, health-minded people.

    He worked with Luther Burbank in California to develop new varieties of healthful, organically-grown fruits and vegetables.

    He pioneered and made available nationwide the first health foods: herbal teas, health beverages, seven-grain cereals and crackers, health cosmetics, health candies, calcium, vitamins and mineral supplements, wheat germ, digestive enzymes from papaya, herbal and kelp seasonings and liquid amino acids from soybeans. He inspired others to follow suit... Schiff, Thompson, Twin Labs, Shaklee, Herbal Life, Gardenburger and hundreds of others. Now there are thousands of health items available through hundreds of companies and thousands of stores worldwide. The health food industry found strength in joining together with the National Nutritional Foods Association Bragg founded.

    He inspired millions to "go organic" in their gardening...

    Paul C. Bragg's Pledge... was Fulfilled during a Lifetime of Dedication

    Ravaged by TB as a teenager, Bragg developed his own eating, breathing and exercising program to rebuild his body into an ageless, tireless, pain-free citadel of glowing, radiant health. Bragg became an outstandingly strong athlete, excelling in running, swimming, biking, tennis, progressive weight training and mountain climbing. He was the original triathlete of sports, and the 600 page Bragg Bible of Health & Fitness was inspired into being by Bragg's enthusiastic athletic abilities and endurance, which were admired and respected by athletes worldwide!

    Dr. Bragg made an early pledge to God, when near death, that if he recovered he would become a Health Crusader and share the health message with the world... Dr. Bragg made good his pledge! He has inspired millions to follow the Bragg Healthy Life-style.

    A living legend and beloved counselor to millions, Bragg was the inspiration and personal advisor on diet and fitness to top Olympic Stars from 4-time swimming Gold Medalist Murray Rose to 3-time track Gold Medalist Betty Cuthbert of Australia, his relative Don Bragg (pole-vaulting Gold Medalist), and countless other champions. The Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, went from puny to super shape. Ageless Jack LaLanne, the original TV "King of Fitness," says, "Bragg saved my life at age 15 when I attended the Bragg Crusade in Oakland, California." From the earliest days, Bragg was advisor to the greatest Hollywood Stars - Gloria Swanson, Bob Cummings, Clint Eastwood, the Beach Boys - and to giants of American Business. J. C. Penney, Del E. Webb, Dr. Scholl and Conrad Hilton are just a few who he inspired to long, successful, healthy, active lives! Dr. Bragg and his daughter Patricia have changed the lives of millions worldwide in all walks of life with the Bragg Health Crusades, Books, Tapes, Radio and TV appearances.

    Bob Seger

    On a long and lonesome highway

    East of Omaha

    You can listen to the engine

    moanin' out his one note song

    You can think about the woman

    or the girl you knew the night before

    But your thoughts will soon be wandering

    the way they always do

    When you're ridin' sixteen hours

    and there's nothin' much to do

    And you don't feel much like ridin',

    you just wish the trip was through

    Here I am

    On the road again

    There I am

    Up on the stage

    Here I go

    Playin' star again

    There I go

    Turn the page

    Well you walk into a restaurant,

    strung out from the road

    And you feel the eyes upon you

    as you're shakin' off the cold

    You pretend it doesn't bother you

    but you just want to explode

    Most times you can't hear 'em talk,

    other times you can

    All the same old cliches,

    "Is that a woman or a man?"

    And you always seem outnumbered,

    you don't dare make a stand

    Here I am

    On the road again

    There I am

    Up on the stage

    Here I go

    Playin' star again

    There I go

    Turn the page

    Out there in the spotlight

    you're a million miles away

    Every ounce of energy

    you try to give away

    As the sweat pours out your body

    like the music that you play

    Later in the evening

    as you lie awake in bed

    With the echoes from the amplifiers

    ringin' in your head

    You smoke the day's last cigarette,

    rememberin' what she said

    Here I am

    On the road again

    There I am

    Up on the stage

    Here I go

    Playin' star again

    There I go

    Turn the page

    Here I am

    On the road again

    There I am

    Up on the stage

    Here I go

    Playin' star again

    There I go

    There I go

    Thread Killers

    Cynic gave me the idea. Submit your name here for the all time thread killer and we'll do a poll. Of course it will probably be ignored, since I seem to be the all time best - anyone willing to take me on???

    I could swear I just saw the light go on - are you sure no ones home??
