ITT: internet is serious business!

I am glad you brought this acronym to my attention. All this time I thought that WAFF stood for: (British slang) a term for a lady with a high degree of lascivity, oft stimulating lewd behavior in males. That, or it was a veiled reference to the World Armed Forces Fourm. Now I know…

Wide eyed shock expressed at the idea that anyone would attempt reproduction when provided with a wealth of information dictating the scent put off by small handed offspring as being akin to that of several cultivated varieties of a plant, having a short stem and leaves formed into a compact, edible head.

The androgyny is palpable in this one, though I think it’s supposed to be a man.

I once had a very heated and explicit sexual relationship with a clown. In all fairness, I was working at a magic shop at the time, and no not crystal magic, or Wiccan magic, but floating dollar magic. He worked near my shop twisting balloons into animals and walking on stilts, he was a sexy clown.

Fail... nuff said.

Oh and PorkChopExpress! Though he may do some unpleasant things to greenwizard… Hey you and greenwizard, go and ride it's a small world, while I take a ride on the PorkChopExpress… Nice. We'll meet up at space mountain, and I'll buy you a turkey leg.

Don't forget the diet coke… now with bacon! We must have Diet Bacon Coke for this journey to Disneyland!

Oh yeah, well I had Potachos at Dennys, (Hork) I win.

I concur!

Stendhal Syndrome Stendhal Syndrome is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly 'beautiful' or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when confronted with immense beauty in the natural world. It is named after the famous 19th century French author Stendhal who described his experience with the phenomenon during his 1817 visit to Florence, Italy in his book Naples and Florence: A Journey from Milan to Reggio. Fregoli Delusion The exact opposite of the Capgras delusion - the Fregoli delusion is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person who changes appearance or is in disguise. The condition is named after the Italian actor Leopoldo Fregoli who was renowned for his ability to make quick changes of appearance during his stage act. It was first reported 1927 by two psychiatrists who discussed the case study of a 27 year old woman who believed that she was being persecuted by two actors whom she often went to see at the theatre. She believed that these people "pursued her closely, taking the form of people she knows or meets." These are serious mental disorders too, but I don't take them very seriously. You see, we have a habit of marking all kinds of things as 'mental disorders' that really are just idiosyncratic. As for Pedophilia I say it is not a mental disorder, it is not idiosyncratic, it is not healthy, it is not permissible and should be punished with castration, or other such things, changing where applicable. Pedophilia in this since should not be used to include high school aged teens, but more the children whom still attend middle school, or lesser grades, or are not of pre school age. Yes it is better for someone of this persuasion (Prevision) to read fictional accounts of pedophilia and frapp to it than for him, or her, or it, to interact with any real children, but it would be far better if their capacity to yearn sexually did not exist at all and in fact had been painfully removed. You see, many pedophilia cases end in murder, the murder of an abused, abducted child. The child, playing at a park, just being a child, gets picked up horribly violated to suit the perpetrators needs then killed and discarded. Once again I say far better for their sexual organs to be removed on the first offence!

I second that motion. Today officially sucks! I had the unique pleasure of vomiting up mango this morning. True, that was noting compared with the vomiting up recently masticated fast food into a plastic cup on a hung-over drive home in a stifling hot Buick, but it was quite frothy, bitter, and orange none the less. I had gone to see Type O Negative and Hatebreed last night and my ears still ring because Peter Steel is an ass hat! (I love him) Really I think my eardrums have suffered more damage than is the norm at such events because he was extremely drunk and kept fucking with his guitar, so nearly the whole set there was a high-pitched keen in the back ground that ravaged my skull and shattered my poor eardrums to bits. Today was a fail on all accounts!

Go for it! I recommend you drink at least a six pack of coke plus per day to get the added benefits.

Just incase any one was wondering what the ingredients are and did not wish to look them up. One thing that is notably lacking in the Go Girl list that should be there is aspartame. I do not drink, or eat any thing diet, or sugar free that contains aspartame, and here is why http://www.dorway.com/92symptomsfotocopy.html. They are tricky though, putting it in all kinds of products, so you really need to read labels before you eat, or drink anything these days. The same for MSG, many people have bad reactions to it as well, and it's not always listed. Diet Coke Plus Ingredients: Carbonated water, magnesium sulfate, caramel color, phosphoric acid, potassium sorbate and potassium benzoate, aspartame, natural flavors, ace-k, zin gluconate, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 Nutrition Facts: Serving size: 8 fl oz; Servings per container: 2.5; Calories: 0; Total fat: 0g; Sodium: 30mg; Total carbs: 0g; Protein: 0g; Niacin: 15%; Vitamin B6: 15%; Vitamin B12: 15%; Magnesium: 10%; Zinc: 10% Go Girl Sugar Free Energy Drink Riboflavin Vitamin B2 Niacinamide Vitamin B3 is required for cell respiration, helps in the release of energy and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, proper circulation and healthy skin, functioning of the nervous system. Pantothenic Acid Vitamin B5, a B-complex vitamin Pyridoxine Vitamin B6 Cobalamin Vitamin B12 Super-Citrimax Extracted from the South American garcinia cambogia, it contains standardized levels of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been clinically shown to suppress appetite and inhibit fat production. Taurine amino acid Glucuronolactone is a naturally-occurring metabolite, a carbohydrate produced by the metabolic system. It helps accelerate and eliminate harmful substances found in the body. Trimethylxanthine also known as Caffeine.

I personally love it when the Jehovah's Witnesses, or Mormons come a knocking. I like to look at them all straight-faced and tell them that I am a Branch Davidian…. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Davidian. I tend to not only take most things far less seriously than others, but I take great joy in doing so as well. Also I take great care to keep my personal beliefs a dark and mysterious secret. http://www.discordian.com/

I too have watched the Discovery channel, and it is through their spot on programming that I draw my fanciful conclusions! (Wags finger and earnestly presents a discovery channel diploma.) Really it was a quince in the Garden of Eden, though I prefer to think of is as a golden apple. And while they may never find the exact location of Atlantis, I have it on good authority, that it is located in the jungles of South America. Insofar as the Muslims are concerned, I find their insistence on brutal punishment for not following their doctrine more in accordance with Old Testament god then any other religion that worships the god of Abraham. While I may not agree with their doctrine, it really says something about the sincerity of their beliefs. (Extremist followers of Islam, not your regular run of the mill Muslims.) I would hate to speak for god here, but perhaps this is all part of his elaborate plan. With free will and all it would be silly to expect any man, no matter how pious, to pen the exact word of god. If god were dictating to me I would be hard pressed, at the best of times, not to put something thoroughly absurd, yet plausible in the text. And God spoke on to Adam, "Go fourth and gird thy loins with nettles!" The prophet received the word of god and thus he spread the entrails of seven donkeys over his body to await the Sabbath. I could go on, but I would then be late for work. However in regards to god being lonely, I really don't think that is the case. You see, perhaps he is god of heaven and earth, but what about the heavens above other, more distant planets. I am sure they too have a god, and perhaps these beings converse and drink tea together on a regular basis. I am an expert at conjecture and blind speculation, so I really believe this is indeed what happens. Perhaps too the beings are having a rather long bender and have forgotten about us for the moment, just like Shinju proposed. Oh man and this last post by Calanthee!! I really wish I had more time here! That is just brilliant! Spot on, spot on and all that. Did you hear though that their planet is indeed going to come back around to bite us in the ass again?

Yonder Bar Mitzvah!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you have missed something... the irony in my last post about the meat content... and yes, look in my other posts for the link to Harpp!! That is how 'they' control the weather. Soylent green, that is a nice touch. Soylent green is people!!

Well in order to balance your chakras all you need is colored paper really. I prefer to use crystals though. You first will want to read up on the seven major chakras http://www.aurastation.biz/about_chakras.html and their corresponding vibrations, colors, and attributes. You can enlist the help of a friend, or simply do this your self. Once you find suitable stones, or you could use a pendulum too I guess if you are doing this with a friend. What you do from there is lie on your back and place the stones over your major chakras starting at the root and ending with the crown. You'll want to leave the stones in place for as long as you feel necessary and visualize the energy pathways of your body being aligned and balanced. Feel the vortex of each energy point start to stabilize and then imagine the energy flow… up from the root and as it reaches the other chakras each of them in turn will bloom, and so on until you reach the crown. Next visualize the energy flow coming out the crown, around your body and back into the root, like a cycle. Keep this up until you feel a harmony being reached and feel free to meditate and do use a suitable breathing technique. Once you feel a balance has been achieved, you then must remove the stones, starting with the crown and then down to the root. Next, take your time in getting up, hold on to a grounding stone for as long as you feel you must. A grounding stone is one which is usually brown or black, some are even magnetic. Be sure to take your time and become suitably grounded. This could take quite some time, but once you are firmly back in the here and now, you should feel if not 100% better, at least somewhat better. This is just my take on this whole thing I am by no means a crystal healing guru, but it's worth a shot...

I recommend some meditation and that you look into lucid dreaming. Also I advise you listen to appropriately soothing music in lieu of sleeping with the T.V. droning on in the background. This may lead to unsettling sounds and even more unpleasant imagery being lodged in your subconscious mind. It simply won't help this schizophrenia you seem to be suffering if your subconscious is constantly dredging up infomercials for appliance direct, and then abruptly switching to the fashion network. Also be advised that you should drink plenty of water, as it is well known that water is full of wondrous properties. A hydrated mind is a healthy mind after all. You may also want to consult your crystal healing techniques, I recommend that you balance your chakras and then work on some serious grounding. If you can, try to find some university test groups as well. They may be studying symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other such things. While you may not qualify for the study, they may do some preliminary tests and that way you could find out the root of these symptoms. Oh and I almost forgot, Iron. You may be in need of Iron. Do not, however, exceed the recommended dose of Iron supplements as the result is most unpleasant.

I shall also have to add The Books fiction to my growing list of fascinating things to read. These just sound too good to be true!!!

But America is wunderbar!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w9EksAo5hY I have never understood the nature of determinism. Nor have I ever experienced DMT, not yet.

Oh the Old Testament God was full of fire and brimstone. That is the kind of god that gets things done! Did you read the part where the prophet of the lord was walking down the road, leaving town and he was tormented by children? They were teasing him calling him a bald man with no hair. The prophet then called upon the lord and the lord delivered onto him two she bares who attacked and killed the children. Nice! (I read this in a children's bible, I kid you not.) But really it is not the 'Christian God' that is to blame here. It is indeed man. You see it was the Catholics who started the whole concept of the hell we know today. Also they were the ones demanding money for their services. I know I'm nitpicking here, but really the 'Christian God' is the same god of the Jews, and also the Muslims. The God of Abraham, the same for all of them. It was the initial fear of god that kept everyone in line, and the examples in the Old Testament were meant to reinforce that. We needed to know that there would be swift and horrible reproductions for our 'sins' and Old Testament God spit thunder and crapped lightning, but for a good cause. Insofar as the 'spoiled brat syndrome' I say that God is God and he is indeed, infallible. Just like the Pope. All jesting aside here, we attached human qualities to a being that is so far removed from humanity, it should make your head spin just contemplating it. Truly God, or whichever entity you wish to attempt to fathom, is just as intangible as the elusive consciousness. God is the other, a being so foreign, so alien in his nature that no matter how hard our theologians or philosophers try, they simply cannot define. Our prophets and gurus have made so many feeble attempts over the years, and all of them will argue bitterly over who has the right miscomprehension. This sometimes leads to bloodshed, contradiction, and general mass hysteria, but I say it's worth it somehow. One of the ultimate goals of the human existence is to prove that we are the ones that define our own reality. If this reality includes a God, then we had better define him as well, or our whole modality could be called into question and by a child no less. Humanity thrives on the labeling and categorizing of things even intangible things. Anthropomorphism has been around as early as the dawn of time, as seen in the cave paintings, and various stone idols of the period. That is just how we roll. Each of us can attach whichever characteristics we wish to a deity and none of us will be any more right than the caveman who started this whole debacle. Just food for circular logic.

Well this is a wonderful topic, as I was just discussing this, sort of, with my boyfriend. You see I was wondering what it was that attracted us to each other, and one particular sex over another. I say that beauty to the classical Greeks was androgynous, that is why so much of their art is androgynous. I would like to think that each of us would be attracted to a suitably beautiful androgynous hermaphrodite. One that has almost angelic features, delicate with high cheekbones and red lips, they would have be almost elven in their grace, and feminine, yet masculine, like some portrayals of vampires I have read. I shall have to check out this story when I have some time. I wanted to write something similar if I ever got around to it. There are so many mysteries of sexuality that are not thoroughly explored in this culture. Hermaphrodites are one of them. I feel that if they are done well than the attraction power they would wield would be incredible.
