I'm here for the chicks! Mostly Qyros!! But also the unrequited love of these babes: OHcowgirl, Bluecat, Elphaba, luvzdolphins27, Ms. Nicey Nice, Kokigami, SalemWitchChild, etc., etc.....most of whom do not post here much anymore.

Fur

Monday thru Thursday is normally 'business casual.' Friday is usually more relaxed unless I have a meeting. Weekends are comfy-cozy clothes....jeans, flannels, etc... Always the best shoes (I like H.S. Trask). Belt and shoes must match. Thick socks. Underwear is usually boxer-briefs or none at all. Almost always a white undershirt. Weekends and Thursday afternoons I am often wearing a golf glove and ball cap. I also like to wear thigh-high, fishnet stockings with a thong and FMPs, but I digress...... PS: I am reminded of Bill Murray from Stripes when he says with a wink, "I rarely wear underwear, but when I do, it is something unusual."

“Woe to you O earth and sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the Number of the Beast, for it is a human number. Its number is six-hundred and sixty-six.” For centuries, man has been mystified and fascinated by the above passage from the Book of Revelation. “The Beast” refers to the Antichrist, who during Earth’s last days, will unite the world in peace and harmony. However, in order to take part in this prosperity, everyone is required to receive the “Mark of the Beast,” presumably the number 666, on their forehead or right hand, in order to engage in commerce.2 All of this is actually a plot to convert everyone to the worship of Satan, so that he may triumph over God in the battle between good and evil. To make a long and complicated story short and sweet, Jesus comes down with a horde of angels, a great battle takes place, and Good wins the day. Satan and the Beast are cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity, and all their followers are slain.3 Just what is so intriguing about the number 666, and who could the author of Revelation have been referring to? This paper is not intended to be a treatise on either the Antichrist or the Book of Revelation, nor will it attempt to convince the reader that the Antichrist is coming tomorrow and the end of the world is imminent. However, what this paper will do is examine some of the interesting mathematical properties of the Number of the Beast, as well as take a look at some of those people who have been identified as the Beast, and how their identities were deduced.

yep. RIP Harvey....

I did. And while I am not normally a fan of the genre (I don't normally pay money to see super-hero flicks), I admit the teaser at the end was a bit delicious. I mentor a 13yo boy with whom I saw the movie, and maybe I got sucked in to his enthusiasm.....in any event, I'll be seeing the next installment. Me too. There are many parrallels between the life of Downey and Tony Stark.

My gift to you all: FREE MUSIC Something for everyone..... Experiment and enjoy.... Harmoniously, Hooka

Sorry I missed these questions the first time. Rev. Fred pretty much answered the questions, however. My point was, if we go down the LEGAL path of whether or not we can, could or should be allowed to harm ourselves, then we go down a path that leads to such silly things as tattoos, body piercing or even some sports, and raises the question, "who decides". Since the purposeful use of needles into the skin is what it is, I assumed my reference to tattooing was obvious. Hope this clarifies the [needle] point. I am suddenly reminded of a great Neil Young tune, Needle and the Damage Done.....although admittedly, he was referring to a more heinous use of needles. Tootles, Tattoo'd Hooka

Cool flick!!

I have a confession. As of until about 2 weeks ago, I had never knowingly been to or seen a YouTube video. OK, maybe I spend too much time at work or on the golf course. Fine. Then, a couple of week ago Phil and Stormy posted "mood music threads" in which folks posted music vids. So, I followed suite. Well, that was like opening an amazing door for me. Unbelievable....no matter what you like to listen to, you can find it there. I now have it tabbed under most of my web browsing and forum posting. After playing around with YouTube for a little while, I came across this little ditty....while likely not the best or most well-known performance on the planet, it surely comes very close in describing my idea of a great concert: (I apologize if this is not for everyone......)What is your favorite YouTube thing?

well, sorta...

Seriously? OK, cool..... Exactamundo..... (Do we have a guitar playing smilie other than this: ?)

Subjects like this one.

depends who is asking me...

Magic Mirror Standing by the highway suitcase by my side No place I want to go, I just thought I'd catch a ride Many people look my way and many pass me by In moments of reflection, I wonder why To the thieves I am a bandit, the mothers think I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner, Lord, I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy, the losers think I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher, with the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm imprisoned, by everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else who's dying to go home The general sees a number. A politician's tool. To my friends I'm just an equal in this whirlpool Magic Mirror Won't you tell me, please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror If we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious, it's in the way I look I'm just another character to fingerprint and book To the censor I'm pornography with no redeeming grace To the hooker, I'm a customer without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise, they'll have for a song The left ones think I'm right. The right ones think I'm wrong. And many people come my way, and many pass me by In my quiet reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror Won't you tell me, please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror If we only could Try to see ourselves as others would. - Leon Russell

....he decided to end the world. And so, he did. Booosh!

So, while quickly removing the yellow pants via the snaps in the inseam (because of the large wet boots), and admiring the pic of Rev. Heather, he wondered aloud, and not for the first time, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO MARTY NIPPLESTEIN????

Be careful, Ian Green....with only one other post, you posted this question and did not stay around to reply to the replies.... Just kidding, Preacher Bob, just kidding!! I loved the movie Contact. I dream of the day, more like a fantasy really, when we are contacted by extraterrestrial life or machine. I have a handful of topics I like to think about when trying to fall asleep...and this is one of them.

I would say the discovery and utilization of electricity........ Language evolved. Your's is a premature statement. Allow me to show you a new use for both!

Very interesting. Thank you. Edited to add: I also found it interesting that Murph advanced the notion that religion should or does evolve with the times.....that same argument could be said for or against the Constitution being a living, breathing document....

I think that is called having a wee bit too much rice wine.

Define music.

In the regular size and scope of a human lifespan, it is impossible not to lie. It is, among other things, a survival mechanism.
