  1. My dad was a teacher and a favorite saying of his was: "ignorance is better than 1/2 knowledge" I never quite knew what he meant. It may have been a rant after watching the news or something. When it comes to history, though, who can know everything? The natives claim that the whites deliberately gave them blankets infected with smallpox. (Can smallpox be distributed like that? I don't know.) There was a really bad epidemic at the end of the 1800's that killed a lot of people, not just the native population, but entire villages were desimated here in NA. They had absolutely no defense against it. That's why documentation is so important. There are a lot of rumors, and no doubt they may have been true to a certain extent, but when it comes to crimes, and crimes of great magnitude, there better be good hard evidence to back it up. Maybe that's all history is: a series of crimes. I remember when I was young and "Custer's Last Stand" was touted to have been a slaughter that no one survived. (which, when you think of it, is somewhat impossible). Later on, I was surprised to learn that the Natives won that battle. The natives knew the truth for decades before the whites changed their history to reflect that fact. (Hence the movie: "Battle of Little Big Horn") I do think the government suppresses information and feeds to its people what it wants them to know. (obviously, they did not want the people of that time to know much) Another example is what happened in the Dakotas where an entire nation was slaughtered for no other reason that they didn't want to leave their land and go live on a reservation. Because Native history was not recorded, and only oral tradition was used, some of what they say is backed up by military records, and so, taught as history. It's pretty mind-boggling when it comes to man's inhumanity to man.
  2. Oh, the memories! Wiping your ass after such a crap and finding nothing on it. A good clean poop! Then, (wait for it....), flushing that turd and watching it twirl around and down with the sound of a jet taking off!
  3. That 10 speed vibrator, for one. Bop her over the head and steal it if you have to, or invite her if you can't. What else?
  4. ..do Vegas! Mel's just horny, so she wanted to write about______________
  5. ^hasn't quite yet realized that he is her god and provides all. <is beginning to think god resides within that child she married some score years ago. <blinks several times slowly as realization dawns. "Yes! All Men are gods! Must worship!" V searching desperately for <'s medication. The madness must end here.
  6. Only practice for swimming lessons. I've never been very good at swimming...
  7. I was lurking earlier, sry. Neither am I red-headed, although I have a daughter with red hair, built like an Amazon princess and a nasty temper to boot. Too much of a handful for anyone to tame. She's written a fanfic or two. Nanaea?
  8. She prolly thot you were a boi, too.
  9. Popcorn night
  10. Your boogers! How can we find it!? (Dies screaming with laughter)
  11. Uh, is it just me, or does no one else notice that we post for free Nobody pays us. Why are we sweating to get every detail down right? Why do we care? *looks deeply into shallow heart* hm, no answer there. Do you suppose we have like, standards of some sort? Something like, "even though I'll never get paid for doing this, it's a good experience" *sighs* There's something in that, I'm sure. I just can't figure it out. (On the one hand, monetary gain) (On the other, aesthetic satisfaction) Ah, maybe it's just smut and we have to get it out of our systems one way or other and may as well get petted doing it. Note to self: did you just alienate 1/2 the board?
  12. Because, as we age, we tend to outsmart ourselves. Oooh, you must be getting up there, girl! Why do brain cells have to die?
  13. Looking out over the ocean and realizing the next land across from you is China.
  14. ^has found my secret, now must die < is not really a man V raises eyebrow
  15. I sang a sweet melody once, but I've never been one. (of course, I pretty much slaughtered it.) Nanaea?
  16. I am no longer allowed to help Dazzled in the said activity as it may incriminate me should we hit him too hard.

    I Am...

    I am puzzled by the "I've got a baby in my arms" sort of dreams I've been having for the past two nights. I am listening to the kids play "Ocarina of Time" and curse at the crappy toggle on the control.
  19. two eight four seven (that's how it goes in my head.)
  20. G, but not so's they'd notice. eg: walk in time to the music of a passing stereo on wheels, turn head, nod, swing arms, wink at someone. Very subtle, actually. G/NG: dance on the tables at someone's social/wedding/or any bloody time in your life when you were 1/2 cut and feeling invulnerable
  21. I thought of another that I just couldn't stand. Really, and I apologize to the fans, but Dragon Ball Z was so over the top, I wondered how they kept powering up while the bad guys got worse and worse. The danger they all got into was so random I wasn't even curious as to how they were going to get out of this one now. I just knew they would, why bother with the fight scene. It levelled up to "ludicrous" to me. How many episodes does one fight take? How many times can one hear the word "kame-ha" before thinking: "die, already, monkey-boy. End my misery now." The original story was so adorable and the movie "Journey to the West" (I think that's what it was) was exactly what it should have been and no more, Dragon Ball Z wrecked it.
  22. Congrats, Big guy I didn't see what Kira saw in her. She was so shallow if you dove in, you'd break your neck! The thing about that is you don't often see that sort of pairing in a story. In real life, yes. There's lots of couples where you just have to wonder: "WTF does he see in her?" (or vica versa) So, I appreciated it in that sense. Considering her character, though, you have to wonder if the creators didn't make her one of those "you love to hate them" sort of deals.
  23. Sorry, I lied One is English (Adrian Paul) The other is Welsh (Peter Wingfield) I still like the lighting
  24. LOL! I'll never think of the game in quite the same way again! Lacrosse! (Canada's National Sport!)
  25. Whoa, we must be twins or something! Neither have I! I've never played spin the bottle either.
