By some strange twist of fate, I see in the paper that Strom is 99 years old today. But, he is not selectively oblivious, he's just regular oblivious. Also, I think that since he is now 99 years old that the 99 year lease we had on him has expired, so we can send him home now. Do they have stud farms for retired senators? Hope not! Hail Homer!

( Okay, time to brush up on my sermons.If you invent a religion, you have to give sermons)

Brothers and sisters who chose to be selectivley oblivious, but chose at this time not to be oblivious to me. I remind you, that to be selectivley oblivious does not simply mean that you have an "ignore button", but that you have a "aware button" as well. For those of us that are true to the faith of selective obliviosity chose to use either buton, we do not fall a slave to either button. I have chosen to be aware of the fact that most sermons are to long, and I have chosen to be selctively oblivious to the fact that some people in the sermon business might like them all to be that way. So, this sermon is OVER! Can I get a "Hail Homer"?!?!

hail Homer

hail homer & Barry's 73! too!
I really can't get wound up, about Strom, he's the passing of an era that should've past long ago, or actually never have begun......

good sermon, latty & hail Barry's 73, too!

why does Bumper keep repeatimg himself?

Why does Becky's dog keep waking me up in the morning?

When am I getting another load so I can drive my truck?

should I go out and see why the smoke is so thick I can't see the mountains, or should I just wait to see if it gets very warm?


when I post here, these questions, is it like praying?

have a wonderful day everyone

It may be like praying, except this is more like a mantra:

a mantra, yes, and, on the more "practical" side, that's the means I have, to edit, here.. doesn't stop me, though, at least I still have commas (,,,!!!) oh yes,, and !!!!'s, too!! in a struggge for hearts and minds, one must make the best use of indigenous tools, at hand, instead of decrying the lack of resources.. Todd would appreciate my linguista cryptosa, rest easy, comrad!!

Well the smoke went away and I did not burn, seems that most of life's problems will get fixed if only we leave them alone long enough.

You've done it, again Nathen, descibed selective obliviosity, to a tee!
I love it, our Buddah drives a big purple truck!!!!

Oh hello Bumper, are you new here?

I swear to God, my mother ran away froom home yesterday, she's 84 years old and I for one think that it will do her good, too few grandmas riding the rails these days.

Yea, Nathen, i'm new here, in geologic time, in celery time, I'm about 2:30, i guess
I'd like to ride the rails, at 84,,, maybe a monorail, on Io, or Mars, maybe..
gotta watch out for ole "East Plain of Jars Red" though....

When bumper posts and reposts real fast ... is that a "speed bump"??
