Arrow Walking Stick & The Turtle discuss Total Field Theory

___Here I wish to discourse with Rascal Puff on the subject of his original work of 1959. I intend it to fully engage the stated purpose of the Lounge area with lengthy posts, witty barbs, & invitation only participants. Lead, follow, or get out the way; this is not a test.

Re: Walking Stick & The Turtle

Turtle,
Thank you for this thread. While I truly do enjoy reading TRP, I generally find that his incredibly interesting tangents get so far off topic as to make most readers succinctly confuzzled. Perhaps I enjoy him because I live with someone much the same. Quite frankly, reading TRP is much like following one of nemo's verbal journeys, where we may start discussing an herb garden and finish ( a mere 5 minutes later) trying to discover if the bikini size of surfer-chicks is actually getting smaller or if we are simply experiencing a textile shortage, and how to remedy the situation before our oldest daughter decides to buy three tiny triangles and parade around in full view of anyone that wants to look. (While nemo may have a good rifle, shooting the bastards that look on his oldest child with lust would surely garner him a stay in some type of facility)

Anyhow, though I may not be invited to participate, I will most assuredly be checking this thread, as I enjoy both of your discourses, lenghty or not.

Arrow Re: Walking Stick & The Turtle

Of course you're invited dear lady. I see you speak a little Puffian yourself. As you also have a familiarity with firearms & understand 'look but don't touch', you would honor us if you serve as our formal Sgt. at arms. I will point out targets to you by first shooting them.
How completely synchrontic that you mention 'triangle', so early on. Let us preambulate.

Re: Walking Stick & The Turtle

I have done the necessary voodoo magic to ensure that TRP is able to post here in your cozy corner.
Perhaps you could send up smoke rings to get his attention?
And it just amazes me that we seem to be on the same (no) sleep schedule. After a mere three hour rest, I am back at my keyboard. Should I stay or should I go? I think I'll be off, to return another time.
Keep the cofee warm, will ya?

And truly, the honor is all mine...Sgt Irish at your service... I can hardly wait to blow something up...

Arrow Re: Walking Stick & The Turtle

He doesn't need to see the smoke; he's seen the fire.
I just looked at the time & can't believe it either. Well...yes I can. Succinctly Irish, we share the same joy that is Hypography; we seem to share a vision of what I (we) see we think is Tormod's vision. Hats off & deep lengthy genuflections to you & Killean & all the helper elves that keep Hypography fat & happy.

Arrow Let's Play Catch The Axe

__This morning I have in mind to play catch...catch the axe.

...No particles, no dark 'anything', and all light 'anything' is at right angles to itself sixfold.
___Nice catch! Now throw it back to me & I'll try to catch it.

You've plenty to worry about. Take a look at the world's skimpiest swimsuit.

Re: Walking Stick & The Turtle

I tried looking C1ay, but could not access that page. Actually, I'm a bit scared to check it out though.

Hey Turtle, are you ready? I'm getting ready to toss that axe back at ya. Did I ever mention that I once worked as a magicassist (maj-is-a-sist) shortly before I turned 18? It wasn't for long, but it was incredibly eye-opening. I only stood in front of that board one time while knives were thrown at me. Oh mon dieu! My heart has never been so fluttery, and I already knew what was going to happen!!

ready...set....schwing!!

Maybe this one will work for you...http://images.google.com/images?q=wo...=Search+Images

It is skimpy but it does legally cover what it's required to cover.
