Zsu Zsu ?= Mayavin, Fire Elf etc?

when i replicated it was in the spirit of desiring an ability for continual eclectic outpouring without subjecting those desiring a glance with monotony...

felt like an unacceptable level of psychological impingement to do otherwise.

first i experimented with a subset of three, the fire elf, elf's ride, elf's sword...

as i continued i generated a strong duality set that solved the impingement/monotony issue whilst giving a certain brevity

though if i spawned distasteful cats of copy, please accept my apologies and condolences, as i've yet to see a hammer strong enough to shatter a box

I had a nightmare that I was back in the Roman days and me, my husband and my 12-year-old sister were thrown to the lions in the Coliseum and Perez Hilton was the Emperor with Ann Coulter as his Empress. :shock:

You sure that was a dream? With the way things are in this nation, it could have been a vision of the future! :shock:

Whew. I have been really tired all morning and kept falling back asleep instead of waking up. Really sucks.

The radio is doing an interview with a guy who is working on a graphic novel about SDS (Students for a Democratic Society). The interview is kind of distracting. Right now he is on why the movement collapsed. Probably pretty relevant.

How d'you mean? Like in a past life? :lol:

I just love the sick irony of having Perez Hilton and Ann Coulter as a couple. :shock:

And yes it was very scary as a nightmare. The seed for the dream was probably reading some of the comments people had left on YouTube on that video Toolmaker posted:
"This is War!"
"Kill all the Scientologists!"
"You're a pussy for not beating up every fucking one of them!"

Scary shit is right... :(

It is very frightening what Scientology has planned for the future. I would imagine your dream is your subconcious trying to tell you that you are on the wrong path. Any system of beliefs that promotes such an extremist amount of hatred and violence toward others will tend to give ya bad dreams from time to time. Maybe it means something else.. maybe it means that the Scientology military has to step it up lest they fail in their untimate goal of world domination. Personally I don't think the Scientologist war will be won by the Scientologists. I've seen their military forces training for their war against the rest of us, they just aren't that good at the face to face and hand to hand stuff.

The only thing frightening is the aforementioned comments I saw to the video - and your attitude.
The church maintains an internal security staff to help keep out criminals, gangsters, etc. from it's churches and offices, but other than that, I have no idea what "army" you speak of. I know that many staff members are taught basic self-defense in case they are physically attacked/accosted by person(s) wishing to do them harm. When you work out of a building in downtown LA or NYC, I'd call that a good idea, personally.

Take a look again at the overall tone of the dream itself.
Who's killing who?

So by your logic, the Christians that the Romans threw to the lions should have reconsidered their religion? And the Jews that were in the Nazi concentration camps should have renounced their faith?

Anyway, can we please keep this on topic?

Why is it that no matter how hard you shake up a bottle of mustard, that watery pre-jizz is always there ?
Ketchup doesn't do this... what gives ?

Sometimes they take Scientologists like yourself into RPF aboard one of their ships. Being a Burningman participant isn't approved by Scientology. Some of your posts if honest are enough to get ya nailed by the church.

Those religions, much like yours call for my death because I refuse your doctrine in favor of my much older system of beliefs. The Romans were trying to keep their enemies in check. Who knows what the Nazis were up to at that point, my personal opinion is that Adolf had lost it before starting in on the Jews. So it really cannot be compared to the Romans in the least. But the Jews do believe that all non-jews are to die, since I am not a Jew any Jew that wishes to kill me or harm me is not my friend either. I do not think those folks should have renounced their faith because of current political climates, rather abandon such hateful and violent doctrines for something else. Those examples are the reason why these doctrines are so bad. All that violence.. anyway.. just some random thoughts in response to your post. I am starting to suspect that you may not have "paid" enough for the audits yet.. you seem to be fairly in the dark when it comes to Scientology. Whatever you do try to save up the dough for the rest of the audits so you can be a part of the war against the rest of us. And DO NOT let ANYONE from the church find out you are posting here. You may not like what they do to you to.

In Antarctica right now, not only is it light out, the weather is probably warmer than it is right now in Wisconsin....! :shock:

Why does the University have students start coming back a week before they open all the food service areas?

My guess is that the water stuff coming out of the end of the mustard and/or ketchup bottle probably means that the brand being used has less thickener in it that the brands which don't have the watery stuff. If I am correct, the ones with the water pre-release are probably healthier.

I suspect that the announcement that Dumbledore was gay was a prank being played upon the news medias.

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, why would he?

Some people wear suspenders, some people wear belts, some people wear boxers, some people wear briefs, some people wear suspenders and belts, does anyone wear boxers and briefs?

Does the fact that cats spend more time sleeping than humans actually mean that they are more enlightened than humans? Maybe that is why they are so smug....

If I worship Bast, can I come back as a cat? In some ways, I think being a cat might be an improvement....

Thread driiiiiift. (With the exception of BAS's longer post just above and OneEye's mustard musings).

Random Thoughts:

How many pickled peppers would be in a peck? And which kind of pepper were they probably talking about, based on historical context of when the rhyme first appeared? Green? Black? Or is "pepper" actually a metaphor for something else entirely?

does Converse sell shoestrings special to the low top and high tops?

If I buy regular tennis shoe shoestrings, their too short, if I buy high top sneaker shoestrings their too long.

None of my Converse have their original shoe strings so I have nothing to compare them too?

A peck is 8 quarts/16 pints (dry measurement). 16-18 pickled peppers to a pint, so about 256 pickled peppers to a peck. 4 pecks to a bushel, 1024 peppers. That's a lot of pickled peppers.
