Only if you promise no answers. I'm trying to stay linear and not circular.

FYI Bumper, Bishop is a term that fits me, because I move in a straight line. However, you and Nate are Knights, because you move in such an L shaped way that could form a circle if you moved more than twice. Now even though you may say" In ceromonies of the horseman even the pawn must hold a grudge", don't take it personally.It's just where the linear infinite universe bisects the circular little one that you and Bishop Nathen occupy that allows me to see that.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Even I, as a truly confused (mostly because of SO), and mostly oblivious (trying to be SELECTIVELY oblivious--but not quite yet there), yes, even I know that two L's would make a square, not a circle. And neither Nathen or Bumper are square. Perhaps rather than Knights, they're knaves?? Can't you, as Bishop, choose to selectively add a piece or two to the game? (That is, if there's a game afoot--or would that be measured in inches?)

pamramadama, Amen, excellent

For our purposes, squares and circles and even triangles are the same thing, they are all closed shapes and not linear projections.
However, your Knave suggestion has some serious merit.You are not the weakest link....HELLO!

can't you just see Larry's cockles warming to the discourse...?
oh brave Pam. & such clarity you bring, too....

also, remember, Kerry is our Ambasssador, to the Future, & shoued be heard from, as well...

Great, this is just great, I am supposed to try and go to sleep with a vision of Larry warming his cockles???

Bumper, you need to go back to the left coast, to be even thinking of Larry's cockles, is just too weird.


That which appears to be a circle is often nothing more then appearances, I think of myself more as curved space as opposed to matter caught in some fixed orbit. Larry's stright line will of course get bend whenever it nears me, (Yes, I know, Larry is already bent) So in time, even Larry's rail will once more come upon it's self and ask the question, "Gee, I wonder what this is?".

heheehee, one 1/2 of a digital high five, winging it's way, to Bishop Nathen,,,!
aha, I heard that thought...where does Bumper see hisself..on SO pecking order..(practicing Southern-speak, here...) and, is a pecking order, linear..?

I had a dream last night, in it I was in a war torn city, trying to get to Mellon Rosa, now at the time it was all important that I get there, but this morning, I awoke and Mellon Rosa means nothing to me. I am not thinking in circles or in lines, I think, in electrical short circuits which burst forth and then vanish into the comforabe haze which we call daily life.

i only got two words for youse guys...

huh????????

Well, Knaves Nathen and Bumper, it would seem that both Pat R. and Arnie have come here and said "huh?". This means of course that we have two new converts, and if you draw a line between them.......well, you get a line. I think this proves some point that I may intend to make, but I'm not really sure.

In other matters:

I Am, Knave Bumper, intrigued by your offer to include a double-helix cinnamon roll into the mix. A double helix is of course a set of very confused lines that try really hard to meet, but never do. They are always following a parallel course to each other, because even though they are seperate entities that never meet, they still seem to think with a common consciousness, because they always do they same thing at the same time when chosing which direction to take.
Of course people useally think of DNA when ever the double-helix is mentioned, and not of cinnamon rolls.Rolls are circles. Which is to say that if you equate the two in some way, there is a very good chance that somebody went pee in your gene pool, and the double helix in your particular genome may have in fact crossed streams, and the two sides may have met.
This is scary stuff.

A double helix is of course a set of very confused lines that try really hard to meet, but never do. They need to call a dating service or start doing their laundry in one of those coin operated places.

Cinnamon rolls are not circles. They are spirals, which is the precursor of the helix (before someone pulled on both ends and stretched it out). So the double helix really represents the dance of two cinnamon rolls.

That begs the question, are the dancing cinnamon rolls half-baked like the people on this thread, or are they well done?

If you unroll a cinnamon roll you have a sticky straight line! (Sorta) <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

Once there was a man who the police found asleep upon a burnimg mattress, when asked if he had started the fire by smoking in bed, he said, "Hell no, it was on fire when I laid down on it". This reminds me of Larry's line of thought, while he is well aware tha Bumper and I are correct, he hates to admit it.
