Hey now, it was a good question, if youre familiar with seti@home, thats MY THREAD

Oh hey, you took my suggestion! Cool. I must say I'm an idiot. Perhaps next time the headline ought to be in yellow and commentary in normal font.

Sorry bout that.



April fools?



Oops.

I'm sorry, but there are strict rules. (I wrote them myself just a few minutes ago.) I had to stay on the fire-hose page which was displayed when I was putting the list together. I didn't see any of those.

Whoops. You're right. My bad. Thats part of the problem on here these days, people can't read directions. I got caught up in the fantasy of it all, I guess.

One of my favorite Tabloid subjects

Santa is at the North Pole and when all the sea ice melts Star Dust Castle will sink like Atlantis and the Elves and Reindeer will all drown except for the Chosen Few who ride out on the sleigh.

"Things I Hate" (for everyone) it looks like the official Cynicist's Guide to Life on Earth column has opened a suggestion booth. Calling all disgruntled housewives!

Dear Raxoxane,

It's good to see your laughter. Add In Aurelius, and South Africa, and I may have found a new best friend.

When you do look at the headlines a little differently, why not post the results here so we can share?

With respect,

Charles, this was brilliant.
Now you've let the cat out of the bag, you know, all that claiming that you're confused and befuddled has just been DEBUNKED!!

reply to post by wildtimes

Dear wildtimes,

Thank you for your kindness. It seems rude of me to disagree with you, but after reading the OP you must agree that there is something mentally disturbed at work here, even if it isn't confused and befuddled.

With respect,

I "must"? No, I don't "must" agree.
I found it to be sort of improvisational and astute humor. When I was a kid, we were encouraged to read a LOT. (This was in the days when the world was still 'black and white television' - no internet, no remote controls, and one had to go to a REAL library to get new books to read - which is still my preference). We were enrolled in "book clubs" where a new 'classic' would be delivered every month - I still have most of mine.

Yet, my parents' bookshelves held - naturally - adult fare, so when I'd quickly and voraciously digested the latest 'bom' arrival, I'd go to their shelves. My favorites were:

the Time-Life series on humanity - in particular, I loved with morbid fascination to read the volume dealing with the history of insanity.

and a little paperwork cartoon-illustrated novelty called "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions." Hence, my keen sarcasm was born....your OP reminded me of that book.

(Sarcasm is, of course, only one of the many services I offer - and I've handily ingrained it in my kids as well. , just as my parents delivered it unto me.
But also, as you no doubt are aware - and my family members remind each other sharply from time to time, usually when feeling 'defeated' - sarcasm is a block to communication!, stated emphatically and with righteous indignation.)
