Hi, haven't posted on the bench before, though many who know me would say I've been posted here for years. I like the look of this topic though I can't seem to figure out what it's trying to say, which I find calming to know that thats the point. I often wake up, and I have majored in confusion thus finding that the clarity of peace if often found by avoiding argument. This I know is not always easy to do, as Me Myself and I know only too well, but we have found that to argue with oneself however does always assure you the definitive last word!
Hope to write to you all again, yours We Three.

Selective Obliviosity is the practice, art or act of being selectively oblivious.
For some, it's a philosophy, for some a lifestyle, and for yet others a religion.
For some others, it is only a point of curiosity and confusion.It is all of and none of these things.It can be self-fullfilling in the regard that you can even be selectively oblivious about being selectively oblivious. It is NOT to be confused with just being "regular" oblivious.
It's not about nothing, because nothing can be about nothing, but it doesn't always need to be about something either.It's a church without a collection plate, a club without dues and a country of it's own without taxes, yet you can give it what you will, and take from it what you will without regard for proportion.
As much as we try to define it, it needs no definition, you will know it when it knows you and it will know you when you know it.

Oh Nate, I ain't chewing on nuthin' that's got Bumper and sexual ecstasy in the same post! You can have that one! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/eek.gif" width=15 height=15>

Welcome Beverly, don't mind Larry, he is trying to type 10.000 words without using the V key as on his keyboard the V key is missing, which of course, makes it a whole lot better for him as he seldom sues what he hasn't got.
Bumper on the other hand is weird, he left California and moved to Flordia, now he thinks that the United States is only 50 miles wide as that is as fat as he can travel without getting his feet wet.
I on the underhand, I am wisdom in all of it's splendor, the only problem is, I use so much of my brain for wisdom, I have very little left for anything else, but deep down inside, I am truly wise.

Larry, next time Bumper sends me chewing gum, I am going to let you try it first.

I see.

how the hell did you do that?

I mean really let me post first then you can answer, i wouldn't want Larry think that you were answering him.

I am sorry, as to how? it must be a gift for I don't know. I'd wandered back over the the arlo net forums, I was looking at some lovely photos. It being 11:15 pm over here in England Photos are just about the only thing my brain can cope with at this time, potos and bourbon.

Now we've got to figure out how to get BeverleyKnowles "To the Church On TIme" for the October Revival. Bev, we NEED you.

A bad cold lnd the right medications help you to be REALLY selectively oblivious

Hi Beverly, you, obviously, fit in, or, as you folks might say, are "spot on" re Selective Obloviosity..Nathen, Larry & I once debated several million digits about whether thoughts are curves, or, straight lines.."we 3" actually gave this topic seripous thought, while consciously ignoring all other topics, in the Universe, ..that is the best demo, of S.O. I can hink of, at presnt. THat doesn't mean there aren't otyhers, or, even that I couldn't think of others, if I tried, it's just "what is" as of now...Arlo intuitively thinks in SO, so does Ceashel, Pamarammadingdong does too, though, sometimes she thinks too hard about what she shouldn't think about..in fact, I'm often axxused of thtt, too. THat, being a sorta pronoun, for a noun, of which I forgot I was in reference...um...tooo...I think..ya know??

Dear Bumper,

We three also find thought an intreeging thought to think about, and this is how we came to learn that to argue with oneself always asures you the winning side.
"To think forward," said I.
"Think backwards," Myself argued.
"Think sideways," I once heard.
"Inside out," thought Myself.
"These are all appropriate where they lie," I argued.
Then I asked Me for an opinion. "It does no good to tell thought how to think, as it's stubborn enough as it is."
I didn't appreciate such dismissiveness, and Myself looked to the mirror before Me. So Me being no one other than Me said, "Think like the Celtic knot, intricately simple!"

We have found that this is the easiest way to go about it. And Ceashel, It is my dearest wish to come over to America and visit the Church, take the Garbage walk and hopefuly put faces to messages but this weeks lotto has already been drawn so I'll have to wait at least anouther week.

Dear Beverly
"We"...i.e. the various manifestations of me, like how YOU, plural... think...( please note, though I've recently moved to Florida, which is in a geographical sense, in the "South", I resisted using the common regional regional contraction of "y'all"...I have renewed my fondness for grits, though, in fact, I'm fixin' ta have me some, raht nawuu.

AS a post script, Beverly, could you please mail me the new MINI Cooper Cabriolet, when it 1st rolls off the Ixford assembly line...? Thanks...
Mangos,
Bumper

I'm not too sure if my Local Post Office stocks a big enough Jiffy bag, so I'll see what I can do. Though I have to say I favour the VW Beetle to the Mini. I realy realy liked Herbie. (I hope I've spelt that right)
I cryed when that meen captain threw him in the river.

Bloody ell, Bev girl. it's three O'clock don't ya know we are having high tea and crumpets. I would post but I have on my new flute and chutes and I wouldn't want a spill would I?
