  5. I've seen walking the streets many of the adherents to this method of memorization. Post-it notes or strings might have been a better choice for some.

  8. Not my writing, but am sharing because it is creative and compellingly thought provoking: In a mother's womb were twin fetuses. One asked the other, "Do you believe in life after delivery?" The other replies, "Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. We are here now in order to prepare ourselves for what we will be later. "Nonsense," said the other, "I don't think there is life after delivery. What would that life be?" "I don't know, but I hope there will be more light than here. Maybe we will move our legs to get from place to place and eat from our mouths." The other rebutted, "That is absurd! The myth of walking is obviously impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord is necessary to supply nutrition. A life of movement after delivery is physically impossible. The umbilical cord is too short." "I think there is something," said the optimist, "and maybe it's different than it is here." The other retorts, "No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothingness and darkness that takes us nowhere." "Well, I have hope," says the other, "that certainly we will see Mother and she will take care of us." "Mother??" You believe in Mother? Where is she now?! "She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world." "I don't see her, so it's only logical that she doesn't exist." To which the other replied, "Sometimes when I'm silent and still, I can hear her, I can perceive her. I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality." To which the pessimist replied, "I pity your delusional mind filled with thoughts of an imaginary friend!" Check back for the results, kids.
  9. Hope you don't have the same problem moving into your new house that Jumpin' Gene Simmons had with his: Haunted House
  10. Top Ten Ways To Handle A Woman 10. Thumbs and fingers outstretched, slightly curved and lightly applied. 9. Remember the Golden Rule: You can be happy or you can be right. 8.

  12. Can't arrest someone without evidence. Especially when witnesses are nearby.
  13. I am glad I was there for the birth of "vinyl LP as 12X12 canvas" experiments in art form as a way to support the music inside. Today's smaller package versions many times just do not have the same impact. Thorgerson, Peter Max and a fired-up group of 60's artists were nearly as much a force in musical revolution as they were in graphic design changes. So long, to a great talent.
  14. A barefoot country boy was carrying a water pail full of live fish away from a small lake when he was approached by a Tennessee game warden. The game warden asked the man, "May I see your fishing license, please?" "Don't have one, sir," replied the fish wrangler. "Don't need one either. These here are my personal pet fish." "Pet fish?" the warden scoffed. "Yep. Once a week, I bring my fish down here to the lake and let 'em swim around for awhile. Then, when I do a certain whistle, they swim right back into this bucket and I take 'em home." "What a bunch of bull! You're under arrest!" The hayseed said, "It's the truth, Mr. Gov'ment man. We do this every week!" "WE do, now, do WE?" smirked the warden. "PROVE it!" The hillbilly released the fish into the lake and the two stood with arms crossed over chest staring into the water. After a few minutes, a couple of curious fisherman sauntered over to see what the two were looking at. That's when the warden said to his suspect, "Well?" "Well, what?" said the bumpkin. "When are you going to call em back?" "Call who back?" "The FISH," replied the warden! "What fish?" ......

  16. Somewhat understandable simply because Harry Nilsson was such a well-respected and prolific songwriter, we just expect any song he records to have been his composition. It is not as if he were a Joe Cocker or Elvis type of singer who routinely interprets the original work of others. Nilsson is probably more often thought a part of the pantheon of singer/songwriters like Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens or Jim Croce, whose recordings of the works of others are more the extreme exception within their body of work. All that said, one would think she would have done a bit more in depth research into a song she loves enough to record. Maybe that is her manager's job. She's is a superstar, after all. (clears throat)

  18. And a mobster who was an FBI informant at that! Never did understand what that was about .... It was like the writer threw that bad guy mobster/FBI informant wrinkle in there just to complex everything a little more - as if this needed more complexity. Didn't buy that aspect of Nicholson's character nor like it, because it was too far out of head-scratching range. Until that "revelation," the movie was great! Saw The Quartet over the weekend. Did not think I would appreciate it, but really did. Great acting, some very funny parts and I really got into the semi-classical music as it was used throughout the movie. 8/10
