Its the watching of endless football/baseball/hockey games only to have them do it all over again next year. It would be the office politics of the Monkey-house, where each pink bottom ape who survives to maturity gets to be king for a while and then disappears after his reign is through. No history, No Art, No Science (and why should there be, anyway as it is intrusive on the day to day monkey business). <br /><br />Endless in rhyme, repetitous in theme.Cond0011https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576204654819543273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-289458850870978142012-11-03T07:13:14.452-07:002012-11-03T07:13:14.452-07:00That's funny.

There was no A/C, and the fans were directed to the people in the pews. I was still in my vestments from having just said Mass, and I was roasting. <br /><br />As I delivered my prepared remarks I noticed that none of the kids, two of the parents and five of the sponsors were paying no attention at all. I was already hot, but this burned me up, and I considered it totally unsatisfactory. Rather than upbraid them, I inserted the word "sex" into the middle of a sentence without any connection to what came before or after. I didn't change my tone, my posture, expression or delivery, just that one word. I instantly had EVERYONE'S attention, and held it throughout the rest of the talk. <br /><br />I found not only effective, but an interesting note on human nature. Oh, and amusing.Tlrugithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504837506874118917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-7937147112628292462012-11-01T17:04:57.827-07:002012-11-01T17:04:57.827-07:00Julie, my favorite word for it is "unmentiona...Julie, my favorite word for it is "unmentionables." :^)USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-61097624481210877512012-11-01T14:43:39.176-07:002012-11-01T14:43:39.176-07:00And bustier.

Islam, so "properly" is the operative word there.<br /><br />For me, and it took a while, my feelings at the deepest and most fundamental level are related to my wife's fidelity, motherhood, and beauty. <br /><br />I'm ashamed to admit that there was a time when I questioned their value. <br /><br />Her loyalty. The loving cradle of her womb, in which we knit our love into children. The beauty in her eyes, which is ageless. <br /><br />These things evoke a loyalty and protection now that brings death right up alongside us.

He said it about you."mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.com
