Being There

is one of my favorite books/movies, though I've never actually read it, or seen in in entirely.

Being There

was so much the focus of my college philosophy class, I didn't need to "see it" to "believe it", and I caught the idea perfectly in an instant. "Being There" is the "Way Things Are" in America.

Being There

Is like a thread on a webz site that exists perpetually, as a sort of pillar of the community. . . . .

 

[babe]

I do need some help here. Not entirely sure about this post, because there is a very obvious humorous aspect I see in it.

First of all, what's this "long time no see". . . . the LTE has been lurking in the JazzFanz basement all along.

secondly, there is obviously some humor in "Yall Fellas" when I know I've just done a couple of pages all by myself. . . . what a hoot.

And, the working theory about becoming the longest thread does, essentially, seem to require me outliving the rest of the planet. . . . which is what I intend to do.
