Dearest Echo,
Yes, you are quite correct. "Unfathomable" is the bump to "Roosevelt."
That's not the one I'm thinking of, though. I still think it was Gala who penned the one I'm trying to find.
Maybe I didn't bump it after all.

BTW, nice to see Isabella back.
Lady Gala,
Found it!
"Knowing" from Sept of '01:
Knowing
(It's amazing what one can find with Goggle and a sleepless night...)
Thanks for all your work, always.

Correct, BK. Republican flag-wavers love the IDEA of the military, but don't especially want to do anything tangible for them - just like they oppose abortion-on-demand but could care less about a 14 year-old who happens to get pregnant....
Tanq...I am a google search? NEAT! And thank you dear...pleased to know you remember my words!
my mother gave good advice...
believe nothing that you read and half of what you see...
hmmmm

Tanq -- had to hit up dictionary.com to find out what a "tontine" is. Exquisite metaphor, as we've come to expect from you :)
...and thanks also for the pointer to one of Gala's gems. Knowing is a classic...
"The remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served us nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found."

"It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then, don't say it."

Up at the head table in the cafeteria, one of the nuns had placed a big bowl of bright red, fresh, juicy apples.
Beside the bowl, she placed a note which read, "take only one. Remember, God is watching."
At the other end of the table was a bowl full of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven. Beside the bowl, a little note scrawled in a child's handwriting which read, "Take all you want - God's watching the apples."
: )
"I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I had lost exactly two weeks."

It is good to know the truth, but better to speak of Palm trees

Geeze the court had to smoking Vatican Crack to let all those California perverts loose. What a travesty for children everywhere.
BK
Thanks Tanq...it's good to be back. ;0) I finally felt inspired to write something worth posting...

Even if I could utter a wise work, the hearing of which would guarantee you instant enlightenment, it would still be like throwing shit at your heads.

Gala ~ I must agree with all who have made comments...Kowing...WOW...it is the best I have ever read...lovely...thank you, you are amazing...
Cryingshame ~ St. Louie is the place...
BK...you are SO right about the pervert release travesty (California is one f*cked up place, proof that extreme liberalism is the beginning of THE END). If'n it were up to me, they'd all be dead by now...strung up and fried...along with degenerate priests. Hence my earlier rantings about pornography...I would GLADLY give up that right just to prevent f*cking perverts from having access to it. We live in a world where nothing is special, nothing is sacred. I imagine that'll ellicit another "fake" posting by Jimmy The Exploder...
Some info on Senator Robert Byrd (Dem-WV)...writer Hunter S. Thompson called him "one of the faithful old whores of the Demorcratic Party" in FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL '72 http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a5c7b4b071f.htm
(by the way, I am neither Republican nor Democrat, just an American)
; )
...and comedian Dennis Miller commented last week that Byrd seemed to be "burning the cross at both ends" with respect to all his ranting about Bush and the Iraq War. I love it how it so totally screws with people's heads that Miller is actually stumping for Bush...just shows to go you that things are not what they seem.
Gala ~ sorry...meant to say 'Knowing'
Rennie, Kase, Empy, Chances, Pam...hope you all are doing well...
