North Carolina, huh? It's pretty there. Dated a guy from there once. I did not know that about 'red neck'! Another interesting fact to know and yell!

Yell.com is the on-line version of the telephone directory known as the Yellow Pages in Britain. Very useful it is too, very useful indeed.

Indeed it is, McTag. And, also, it's better for the environment; I wonder whether most things like directories and books will be in e-form in the future?

Future generations will look at this thread and wonder one thing: What the hell are these kooks talking about?

About 100 years from now will this still be here? Will anybody care?

Well, I guess it's up to us to see that the remnants of what were become the philosophy of what is and what will be.

The beauty of manhole covers--what of that?
Like medals struck by a great savage khan,
Like Mayan calendar stones, unliftable, indecipherable,
Not like the old electrum, chased and scored,
Mottoed and sculptured to a turn,
But notched and whelked and pocked and smashed
With the great company names
(Gentle Bethlehem, smiling United States).
This rustproof artifact of my street,
Long after roads are melted away will lie
Sidewise in the grave of the iron-old world,
Bitten at the edges,
Strong with its cryptic American,
Its dated beauty.

Karl somebody! Razz

and somewhere there will be inscribed the name of kickycan, McTag, Drom and others here. And don't you forget it!

Damnit, Dice. I so wanted you and Urs to write a co-op poem.

Ah, me. Letty is so inept at getting people to go for a roll of the cubes.

Cubes are necessary in this weather if you want a cold drink! Although, I would much rather a Mike's Hard Lemonade or such!

Osso. what fond memories. Someone once told me when I asked about two good things that had happened to him:

I got up this morning, and you're here.

Don't we just love to be loved? so much more important than to be desired.

Letty, that was a take off, maybe you recognized it, on Walter Cronkite's voice..

This conversation, though, is supposed to be two sentences with the beginning of the first one starting with the last word of the post before it... that's why, probably, the poem wasn't picked up on.

On that note, maybe we should get back to the game. But what topic would be interesting?

Tiggerness is not as much fun as Tiger-ness. With Tiger-ness, you get to wear such neat outfits..

Outfits?! I like my stiped pajamas, thankyou! And...The wonderful thing about tiggers, are tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made of-a rubber, their bottoms are made-a the spring. Their ouncy, trouncy, flouncy, bouncy, full of fun-fun-fun-fun-fun, but the most wonderful thing about tigger's is IIIIIIIII'm the only one!

One flew over the cookoo's nest. That led to a lot of trouble.

Trouble was practically Jack Nicholson's middle name in that movie. I am told it was also a fantastic book.
