Things you assume...

[Simon of the Playa]

i never assume anything about anyone.



until i see their shoes,



then i know who they are.



fishy is quite confusing to read, of course.

[Ugly Dougly]

of course you can assume anything and the end result is always the same.

I believe you're making an assumption there. And a generalization, which are always wrong.

And. You are assuming that generalizations are ALWAYS wrong.

The key word is "always" - which is... usually a mistake. There are ALWAYS (oops) usually exceptions.

I always assumed you as the shoe, watch, bedspread kinda guy.

[Simon of the Playa]

you'd be wrong on all three counts as i am a Boot and Blanket Man as well as Watch Free...

Damn! My bad... I was talking about Roberto Dobbisano.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

Tassled loafers, duvet and Man Servant to tell me the time.




oh wait, thats HG Crosby, nevermind

[H.G.Crosby]

shut up Mr. Platform Shoes, Leather Sheets and Metronome.

[ygmir]

do not opine, until you've had sex on the playa, barefoot,to drum rythms and lightning, under a full moon.......until then, you can not judge.

[Nipple]

Don't assume I'd have sex on the playa!

I keep my temple clean!

Well...at least there are paths through the filth to pretty much anywhere you'd want to go in my temple. You'll need to give me a heads up if you want something from the basement though.

[Box Burner]

opinions need no reference, and judgements need to be tested.

Is it safe to assume one must wear shoes in your temple?

Most people I have met, in the western world, assume that I grew up eating peanut butter or even like it.
I usually assume they are going to be shocked.

I wonder how anyone thought of mixing two bland things (peanut + butter) together?

Shame on your teachers!

Lack of spices, like most places through most of history.
And peanuts are an efficient energy source.
No butter involved, it is 'butter' as a description.

Have you had good peanut butter?
It's usually heavily salted.

Try corn as a diet, then try peanut butter.
See 'spice wars'

Let's not get touchy over peanut butter.

[Nipple]

Yes.

Save the touching for when we're all IN the peanut butter.

Welcome To NippleTemple!
NO SHOES!
PANTS!
NO SERVICE!

Peanut butter isn't important.
History is.

India produces 85% of the spice consumed worldwide, over three billion pounds a year.
You can't underestimate the power of boredom.

There's a picture!

Hmmm... all I said was that people assume I like peanut butter and I don't.
If I accidently added jelly butter to the peanut butter history, my bad.

I'm assuming you're making sense, or some point here? I just can't follow......please, elucidate, for us, " the masses".

[gyre]

I wouldn't be too surprized if you had never had peanut butter.

Just surprized you aren't aware of how strongly most of the world has craved flavor at times.
Not too far back, farmers in this country were surviving on corn and bread during the winter.

I can't imagine.
I can develop a craving in a week.

I tried malta goya recently.
Didn't like it.
Tried it again, very cold on a hot day, working.
Loved it.
Tried it with spicy food, even better.
Went crazy trying to find it after that.
Finally found it in a vietnamese grocery with imported japanese sodas.

A new flavor!

Oddly, walmart carries malta india, but not malta goya.

Spice is valuable now, in our current world, full of variety.

Imagine how driven you would be if you had no choices.
That was the state of the world once.

It drove exploration and trade like nothing else.

of course. any cursory knowledge of world history tells us the spice trade drove much of the events of historic times.

the dots I can't connect are your last few statements and how you got there from Whoosh not liking peanut butter.
I love following, or trying to, your logic path here. but, you've lost me.
dang
remember my feeble mind is just skipping along smelling flowers, while being passed by a mental jaguar..........

[gyre]

It wasn't a response to her not liking it, but being baffled that it was conjured up in the first place.
It is bland by modern standards.

I think he is following my comment about "bland" food, and summarized how I am not aware of spice shortage in the world.
Good point, Gyre.

[gyre]

I was only surprized because you clearly think things through, and are obviously highly educated.


It seems quaint how incredibly valuable spice was at one time, but it illustrates a powerful motivation.

You miss the oddest things sometimes, but you're not fooling anyone.
We all know how smart you are.

I vote worst sandbagging ever!

Save it for when I say something insightful, please?
