Longest Thread Ever

Speaking of fast talkers, my wife used to watch the Gilmore Girls when that was on. That series gave me a headache just trying to keep up with the conversations. It was like listening to an auctioneer for 1/2 hour.

gotta hand it to th' girls, I say. My wife usually lets me say about a word or half a word before she butts in and heads off to the races on some other subject. . . .

We'd have to agree to disagree, generally. I think these folks get taught that spreading the wealth is far better to lining their pockets... and as archaic as it is.. it's effective.

nah. I go at things different. I disagree about the necessity of agreeing on anything. I want to hear someone else's idea, and maybe I'll even tell someone my own.

Looks like just the 3 of us in here right now. I'll step out and read the game thread so the two of you can spend some quality time together.

well, read the game thread if you like, but you're welcome here too.

Cool.. so I think Hollywood doesn't generally think that deeply. It's siiiimple.. spread the wealth.. more people can buy tickets.

OK, so "these folks" are not yet homogenized, well. . .. . speaking in terms of still having some unique personal attributes. . .. the ones you know might not be the ones I know. Look, when I meet folks I don't just do some kind of personal take-down. I do triage sociologically and just try to find some way to learn something from them, and wait until they ask, and then carefully consider their set points and tolerances, before speaking. . . . not at all like in here where I'm just the rowdy who's having fun.

some "folks" are altruistic and do intend to use their means to some imagined good end. . . . others are in fact quite the opposite, and set up 'charities' for oblique agendas aimed at putting the world in their pockets. . . . lined or not.

maybe.

but the wealth they want to spread might not be theirs. . . . say maybe. . . . the government's in their view. . .. so more people can buy tickets.

Just sayin'. . . .

somehow I slipped past Colton on the Rep scales, and in about ten more contributions here, I'll be "Movin' on Up", past two more posters on the postcount chase.

 

[babe]

@#26 on rep presently, and closing in soon on position #51 on the count. Candrew and Siromar being the ones whose posting may catch up with me if I do another road trip. . . .

Thanks to some rapid-fire posts in this thread and Buckner, it looks like I'll stay ahead of Dutch for at least another week.

Is he really that active? I mean, that you couldn't match his rate with intelligent, reasoned explanations of Jazz management and coaching?????

and yah. . . . I'm beginning to see where some of the people I'm trying to pass up are still in here and doing something. . . .

So, though I've scared PKM into hiding because I taunted his profession I suppose, I'd like to haul him back in here sometime soon to discuss the Shivwits and the legends of Shinob Kibe.
