Punk is amazing, I could stay up all night talking to him. (I actually did, almost.)

He has great taste in women and is just absolutely sweet and has the hottest mow-hawk EVAR!!!

RuralJuror

He or she seems to have or strive for certain qualities that are fantastic.

cdwonderful

Ruraljuror is new but has two things that already show good character.

1) Ruraljuror has one post, but it is to "Say something nice about the last poster"

2) Ruraljuror is friends with RJ (always a sign of good taste)

I see potential screaming here.......

I am so pleased to have an opportunity to praise mixedmedia for her all-around excellence and completely unique qualities. Thoroughly postmodern, she is really several-persons deep. This is an amazing accomplishment considering we live in an era in which so many are less than one-person shallow.

In the decade or so that I have been with the TFP, ARTelvision has been one of the iconic legends that never fails to amaze me. Well rounded in whats seems to be almost every discipline on the planet, he never fails to amuse, bemuse or leave me with a perspective I may have never considered before. Through all the changes, His core is true. When I grow up, if I could be a 1/16 of the Renaissance man that he is, I could die happy.

Subconsciously, cdwonderful makes me ponder a tad bit more whenever he is around, and because of that tiny little essence of being, I wish he was around more often to impart more of his personality unto us all. I do find it filling to be able to have a chat with him, whenever possible.

ring

Tully writes very entertaining blog entries. (more please.)
He's a down to earth, no bs, truth telling guy.

Ourcrazymodern?

ring has a mindset I find extremely stimulating. Her compassion is rarely over-ridden by other considerations. She's shown me many things & knows how to converse. &, oh yeah, I love her.
