The Longest Thread Ever!

[BadNick]

I wonder if TFP will be here in 20 years, 40 years, and how long this thread might be then? We can watch this longest thread over the coming years, see who among us lives longest, and I hope we're all blessed with happiness in our twilight years and until then.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

What penetration
TFP will ever have
will prove statistics.

I found this interesting report on your link, Ocm?

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Nick, does the red line
go through the blue with purpose
spontaneously?

[Jetée]

Allo.

What's the use of our trying to do anything, trying to know anything, trying to be anything? What's the use of living? I wish I was dead!"

I also like Emily Dickenson but she probably didn't say that.

I was pretty sure it was either Paine, Voltaire or Locke, but I haven't found such a quotable from then yet that resembles this mantra of "life is gloomy, but we still have it".

What the heck is that over there????? --------->

[BadNick]

By golly, I think it might be the International Space Station!!!!

[Ourcrazymodern?]

International Space seems
very firmly twixt our ears, beyond
our meager comprehension.

p.s.

Annoying pragmatism:
Additional labor providing
selfsame limiting results.

[BadNick]

I can't believe how powerful my brain is. I can think of anything! And no batteries, fuel cells, or solar panels required is a plus.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Such moments, lasting longest,
becoming things you can't let go of,
by no means merely endured.

[BadNick]

Ocm? I especially like that one ^ . It resonates between my ears, with a side node from head to toe.

[Jetée]

that's a very long leap one must mae in order to move the chains.

Is the Canadian Football league any good? Is College Football any better?

It is intensely hard to compare the values of the others when measured to the Standard.

This is Erik Satie's Gymnopédies (modern take).

[BadNick]

A little while ago I just washed my car in the rain. Pretty neat, I didn't have to rinse it. Then it stopped and I dried it and covered it. Now I'm here again.

[Jetée]

The above original classical piece is just a perfect soundtrack to rain I think (usually a slow light drizzle, not really to a maelstrom outside).

[BadNick]

I have something related to Satie in my music collection, on LP I think. But I forgot exactly what. I think it was some kind of jazz played by somebody else, but perhaps Satie's composition...not sure. Now that I'm in the midst of organizing my music, I'll find it soon. I'm transferring everything I have to my itouch.

Since I have only about 1/2 gig of space left, I was thinking I need one with more storage than the measly old 8 gig itouch I inherited from my son. Maybe Santa will bring me one of the 160 gig jobies. Or it might make more sense to just sync different music libraries and keep the one I have.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

As a wet blanket,
our lead has slipped a hundred
& still it's counting.

(I only posted
once or thrice in the meantime,
so don't look at me...)

[BadNick]

After we reached our goal here, I started posting again in the "word" thread. Since then I think I've posted there more than here.

But if this thread falls behind, that may be a call to words! ...the pen being mightier than the sword etc.

[MexicanOnABike]

pen for close combat, sword for distance and sharpness.

[BadNick]

hi MOAB...longest time no see. The spirit lives on.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Spirited nonsense,
in the mood for little else
than making trouble.

2-3=-1x0+1

[BadNick]

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Sew me up, buddy,
all these leaking guts & stuff,
getting off my nerves.

[BadNick]

Probably just need a new wrapper. That usually fixes the leaks.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

2+3x1+0=5

Laboring through hurt
come all those times it doesn't,
like you as morphine.

[BadNick]

oh oh ...I sense you need some first aid.

If I was a nurse, I'd tend to you immediately.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Charting her table
comes another language, full,
of other meanings.

(2x3)+1+0=7

...I got this, abs:

Black & white,
the realm of martyrs,
go ahead.

[BadNick]

Being a sinful non-martyr, I'm a color guy myself...even kaleidoscopic when possible.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

I saw your pictures,
so know that you're coming true,
& you're not kidding.

/stroking goatish chin-hairs/

2cubed+1=0+9

[Ourcrazymodern?]

...she strides away, dressed,
as flamboyant as not here,
but with overtones.

...(2-3)+1=1x0

Where is everybody?

[Jetée]

It's amazing how many themes this one picture bridges:

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Not having the means
with which to think otherwise,
I'll simply believe.

[BadNick]

I wonder if that's Janice or Scott?

[Jetée]

I found out the model's name, but I'm too tired to look it up now.

Maybe Russian?

[BadNick]

could be Russian, she might be too skinny

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Holding a bunny,
if too skinny, she might eat,
not thinking ahead.

2+3+1x1+6

Or a vampire.

[Ourcrazymodern?]

Or following style,
like monstrous affectation
without inflections.

2x3+1x1=8

[BadNick]

how tricky! A fair skinned and haired vampire...they seem quite rare. But she doesn't have dark rings around her eyes (sorry for the allusion, ring) so perhaps I need to suck a bit of her blood. Not too much, just a drop.

[Jetée]

Speaking of: kappas (again)



you do remember that kappas are sometime likened to 'vampires', did you not?
only (minor) difference being is they suck your body dry by entering thru your anus, and then...
I don't know, I guess they get creative with those webbed-hands, and the beak.

Were you talking about 'KAPPA' when you stated it sounds like an alleyway where cats gather?
