In general, neither do I. In specific instances, it's sometimes easy to
see why and other times not.

I heard something on the radio last week where the commentator referred to
suicide as the ultimate **** you statement. There may be some truth in that
thought.

Ah! NOW we're speaking the same language! You know where to find me. :)

Are we doing the Wi season opener?

People are strange critters. Most don't seem to find it especially odd that
most are willing enough to sacrifice as many icky "others" as necessary to
further whatever banal ends they might have in mind. And yet, as cheap as
they realize (however marginally) life is, they still have a peculiarly hard
time dealing with the fact that there are those among us who hold their own
lives no more dearly than they (the aforementioned "most") should theirs.
The obvious fact that suicide can be something as simple as a statement of
contempt is entirely beyond their ken (if you'll pardon the oddly apt term).

Semi-tough question. If I'm not mistaken, the early season opener is
Saturday, March 5. Becky bought tickets for the symphony (my birthday
present) on that evening......something Dvorak, I believe.

Sunday?

George?

I think it's pretty damn funny when a pipsqueak like you is contemptuous
of a towering literary figure like Hemingway. Maybe after you're dead and
buried people will win prizes by imitating your writing style, but I doubt
it. Who would want to read it?


Well, we all know one who will read every word of it.......or get a literate
13 year old girl to read it to him......in spare moments........don't we?
:)

Wolfgang
how's that for pretty damn funny?

What is the matter with you? And where do you get this 13-year-old-girl
stuff from?

The comparison to Hemingway is interesting but none-the-less educated
speculation.


Not all that educated, really. But, I suspect that if he was the writer
that many here suppose him to have been, he would also have been bright
enough that the suggested parallel wouldn't have been lost on him.

i am puzzled by your assessment that wolfgang, by filing that post, is
being contemptuous of papa.

Maybe after you're dead
and buried people will win prizes by imitating your writing style, but I
doubt it.

so do i; and, importantly, in view of your attitude, i doubt wolfgang
will give a damn. that is, if wolfgang will know. which, again, i doubt.
of course, that is an entirely different issue.




Who would want to read it?

well, everything is relative. for instance, if there is a competition
concerning how many folks would like to read wolfgang's stuff and , well,
yours, i would pick wolfgang's. but that's just my opinion. and that
opinion would have nothing to do with who i think is the better guy, or the
more fun guy, or who i think gets more pussy, to really get into important
matters.
see, i think everything resolves itself into this thing about peeling
the onion, and it can become *really* bizarre, if one is honest about what
one finds beneath each leaf. wolfgang's style makes for a very big onion,
and requires some patience in peeling. still, much can be gained in the
performance of that duty.

Well, I'm getting kind of sleepy.......and I think I ate too much for supper
tonight.

I don't get any 13 year old girls. That's o.k., though, I'm not interested.
They're all yours.

Where's it all gonna end.......ainna? :)

Truman is a wee bit of a stretch (though clever in context of the
conceit), but it's very true those interested in Big Bangs might now
usefully refer to HSTI.... :)

History (if there is any worth speaking of in the future) will judge whether
Harry served better as president or precedent.
