What grinds your gears then?

[edna]

Sleep is just a rehearsal for death

Oh, please, Kevin...

[Kevin]

It isn't ?!

[MuzikTyme]

Sleep is a rehearsal of death?

LMAO

You don't know much about death. You would've made more sense to saying a coma is a rehearsal of death but you've never been there.

[Kevin]

Not having died yet , no , I guess I don't .

Are you going to now say that most people don't know anything about death ?

[edna]

I don't need to rehearse for death

[Kevin]

You can do it in one-take then , my dear ... right ?!

[MuzikTyme]

Yeah, Kevin, I'll say that unless a person has been in a coma then they'll not understand death until they finally die.

[Kevin]

Well , yeah , Muzik ... I say laugh and kid along because what else can one do in the face of eternity .

[MuzikTyme]

Just do what you said, laugh and kid.

[Kevin]

It's unlikely that any really comforting answers are to be found on the internet , to be sure ...

[MuzikTyme]

It's unlikely that any really comforting answers are to be found on the internet , to be sure ...

I'm not sure that is true, Kevin.

Your words have comforted me on several occasions.

[Kevin]

Oh . I forgot .. what was I charging, then , and how much has been paid ?! ( Let's just get that out of the way first )

Can we end this morbid grind ?

[MuzikTyme]

I never want things to end, the hardest thing I deal with is the understanding of others.

But, if it pleases you, then what you consider morbid now will end.

[Kevin]

Wow ! I see a unicorn ... and there's a rainbow ! Hey ! That's the Lucky Charms dude ... well done .

------------------------

I 'm so mad that both Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White won gold medals that I could just spit ! These are the kind of backstories that I was hoping would screw up . Anyone but them ! Gimme the underdogs .

[MuzikTyme]

Speaking of unicorns . . .

[Kevin]

Somebody's got to upset Plushenko today . These last couple of days have been going by script .

[edna]

Who is Plushenko?

[MuzikTyme]

Sounds a bit like Rumpelstiltskin!

(my favourite folklore story)

[edna]

Sounds like some Russian/Ucranian name...

[Farin]

Evgeni Plushenko wanted to win a Gold medal yesterday

[The Seeker]

"He was the first skater in the world to perform a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop-double loop jump (4-3-2) combination in competition, at the 1999 NHK Trophy (he has since landed his 4-3-2 combination 26 times so far). He is the first skater to land a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop-triple loop (4-3-3) combination in competition, at the Cup of Russia 2002 (he has since landed his 4-3-3 combination four times so far). Plushenko is also the first skater to land a triple toe loop-triple toe loop-triple loop-double loop (3-3-3-2) combination, which was at the 2005 "Ard Gala". At the European Championships, he landed a six jump combination (3-3-2-2-2-2) in his exhibition program. He has landed a four jump combination; 4 toe loop-3 toe loop-2 loop-2 loop."

This reads like something from Monty Python

[MarcM]

Lovely plumage.

[edna]

The Russian names ending in "enko" are from Ukranian origin.

That's just a random thought

[Kevin]

The Ukraine is like Britain's Scotland ; the elites were/are brilliant and go on to better and impressive things- even running the country ( Konstantine Chernenko ) , but the average lot are quite mundane.

[Farin]

umm, isn't that the case everywhere?
