Questions Game

Cal-

Partly because a deep read into it prepares one to appreciate artistic endevour generally.One must see the work and not oneself looking at it as most people do.

You would like to enjoy life's greatest offerings surely?

I not only would, I actually do so, or at least what I consider
life's greatest offerings.

What are yours?

Being out of myself.

What kind of work?

freelance.

What does "being out of myself" mean?

Totally absorbed is some part of the "other" hopefully in fascinated admiration.With practice it can become permanent unless you get toothache or something.It's the antidote to narcissism which the myth teaches is deadly.

You have experienced it at some time?

Oh! I thought you're totaly absorbed with yourself.
Of course I have experienced a toothache!

Where are the other players all of a sudden?

Gone to graveyards every one.

Freelance what?

finance sector

Have you gone to the pub yet?

30 minutes to hot plunge,soak and meditate.Then pub after stopover here to see who's in and who's not.

Got any good share tips?(Hang on-finance sector is still ambiguous).

It's a private firm, no bank or brokerage. More cost analysis,
projections etc. Stockmarket is too volatile, however, there
are promising new medical products coming out - check out
Sanofi-Aventis.

Who is "in" at a2k?

Everybody I guess really.I should have said to see who's in the threads I go on.

You work odd hours then?

Yes, and only part time, to have time with my daughter.

What do you do?

I'm a well evolved microbe.I thought everybody knew that.I do therefore what you would expect.

Any other ideas?

Other ideas for your profession? Probably a perpetual student
or professor.

Any vacation plans?

No.Microbes don't do vacations.Vacations are for slaves.A release from their drudgery.They treat slaves a lot better now than in Spendius's time.



Me shallow you said didn't you?

Bathtub's full.Back about 1/4 to 4 your time (I think)

Not shallow - I said you're absorbed with yourself - self-centered. You should bathe after the smelly pub.

Why before?

That's a typical woman's trick.You accuse me of being self-centred (the well evolved takes care of that) and you denigrate the pub and associate me with that denigration.Then,because I follow the rules,I can't answer those cutting remarks,because I have to answer your question and then ask one of my own which I will now do.

To relax me from the woes of the weary day and set my mind at work on certain projects I am toying with.

When do you bathe?

NOW.I'm off.Back later.90 mins or so.Take anybody on then.

Like most men, only when a shower is not readily available.

That wasn't a sexist remark, was it?

No not at all Tico That reminds me of the commercial,
where the guy changed his shirt inside out, after his wife
said: "Honey, please change your shirt".

I just have to quick answer spendius: I don't denigrate the
pub, and I made my assumption about you being self-centered
quite a while back. The rest is quite confusing.

Why are men so defensive when ever so slightly criticized?

Cal:-

I never for one moment felt I was being criticised.

I thought I was being taken an interest in actually.

I don't like beginning two consequtive sentences with the personal pronoun.

I might have to rephrase that.

Hey Cal-wait till I tell you about the Lady's Slipper Orchid.

Somebody has found one.It's been on the news.
It is the rarest flower in these darling islands.I have
been (there I go again) given the low-down on the Lady's Slipper Orchid tonight in the pub.They have found one in Silverdale.Where else.We don't have a Goldendale.It seems,judging by what the slopers told me,that there is another one somewhere but they are keeping the location a secret and there's a 24 hr guard on it.I was unable to discover whether they are in uniform or armed.The one in Silverdale is by the side of a public footpath and the authorities are paralysed as public footpaths are sacred here.Like the zaimph.

They have tried to grow this flower from seed but it simply does not work.The theory is that it only propagates under extremely specific conditions and nobody knows what these are.It appears randomly.

Anyone knowingly digging one up can be fined £20,000 which is about $38,000.They are that rare.
Of course,people have dug them up in the past but it turns out that they usually leave a bit of its bits behind and this enables it to re-appear by some mysterious process which has the scientific establishment completely baffled.

What do you think?
