Hamas and Pappas

This & that.

Every time I see Merry Andrew on a thread, I think "Slo-Latvian".
OK, not every time.

ha....good one.

i think of myself as a slow vak. that also gets stuck in brain easily.

as opposed to a fast vak?

indeed. which i am not.

Who, or what is Pappas?

sorry...should have been "Papas"

Ohhh, it all falls into place now. The Hamas, The Papas. Thanks for clarifying.

Many things get stuck in my head. But then when they leave, they seemingly leave for good. I can't think of anything right now.

Simon and Garfunkel's Baby Driver just won't leave my brain; I'm going to have to resort to selective memory burning voodoo.

there was also Mubarak Hosni, Egyptian president.

my dad worked him into a lullaby. Instead of "angel fall asleep" - "anjelik usni" he worked in Mubarak "hnusny" (disgusting) -- now that's getting totally lost in translation but it was very funny to us kids. in the end it was something along the lines of: if you don't fall asleep, Disgusting Mubarak will eat you up....... still sing it in my head often to this day.

...anyway.

When I took physiological psych it was back in the dark ages, 1961. Much has been learned about the brain and its pathways since then, but I haven't read it all. Thus I still think of these things as nerve-net-reticuli (networks) that just keep being there and show up when the synapse/entry, or something, is breached.

Sometimes I like the old connections/rete, and so my memory burning voodoo will have to be very specific.
