Subject: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Little Hawk Date: 05 May 09 - 01:17 PM Ever get totally sick of some contentious and irreconcilable subject being beaten to death on one or more threads? ;-D I bet you have! I know I have. That's when you say to yourself, "I'd rather talk about ------." What would you rather talk about? Music? Dachshunds? Birdwatching? Your garden? Well, this thread is for you then. ;-D So...what would you rather talk about??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Janie Date: 05 May 09 - 01:30 PM Well, darlin', I talk about gardening on the garden thread. Birdwatching on the birdwatching thread. Dachshunds not at all, and I confess I have much more to learn than to say about music, so mostly I sit on me hands and read that what gets posted above the line. Lets talk about, uhmmm....uhhhhh......lessee........hand sanitizers;^? |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Emma B Date: 05 May 09 - 01:35 PM Well there's always........ CHOCOLATE! but for those who prefer to chat about fast Formula 3 racing cars or even garden veggies ... THIS is the topic for you .... '"Components made from plants form the mainstay of the car's make up, including a race specification steering wheel derived from carrots and other root vegetables, a flax fibre and soybean oil foam racing seat, a woven flax fibre bib, plant oil based lubricants and a biodiesel engine configured to run on fuel derived from waste chocolate and vegetable oil.' |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Wesley S Date: 05 May 09 - 02:00 PM It looks like Pixar will be putting out : John Carter of Mars movie The working title is a Princess of Mars.The director is Andrew Stanton who directed A Bugs Like and Finding Nemao. So I suspect it will be animated. |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Emma B Date: 05 May 09 - 02:14 PM As a child addict of these books I followed your link Wesley - seems it may be Pixar's 'first live-action movie' ! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Wesley S Date: 05 May 09 - 02:24 PM You're right. I didn't follow all the links. Let's hope they don't feel the need to update the story. They'll have John Carter fighting in Iraq. |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Little Hawk Date: 05 May 09 - 03:37 PM Awright! Lotta good stuff here. ;-) The John Carter of Mars books were one of the signal joys of my youth. Too bad there weren't a few more of them written. Bill, the meaning of life is: Whatever each person decides it is! That is to say...it varies a great deal, depending on who you are and what you think is important. It can even vary a great deal for one single person from one day to the next in some cases...while for others it may remain pretty consistent. Then you have those types who are so devoted to sheer mental activity for its own sake rather than for any real purpose that they decide that they are among the few smart enough to conclude what others around them are too naive or dense to...that life is meaningless! ;-) That's a notion that only an isolated mentality that's in a narcissistic love with its own imagined brilliance could ever come up with...and it leads absolutely nowhere useful, but GOSH! it sounds like quite a revelation, doesn't it? Whole schools of modern existentialist philosopyy have been built upon the empty and defeatist foundation of that outlook. Such notions, I think, arise when a civilization is in a period of decline. |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Little Hawk Date: 05 May 09 - 03:56 PM A philosophy, Bill, that proposes the notion that life is meaningless isn't worth the toilet paper it was smeared on.... As for what I've been spending my time on, I've got some great books I could recommend to you. I spend money on them instead of on cigarettes and booze and ipods and other popular stuff like that. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: number 6 Date: 05 May 09 - 04:00 PM I spend my $money$ camera gear! Recording the life that is all around me. I wouldn't say life is meaningless at all. biLL |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Little Hawk Date: 05 May 09 - 04:02 PM Great. ;-) Sounds good. Would you be interested in buying a used Leica? Now...I'd rather talk about Dachshunds. Aren't they marvelous? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: number 6 Date: 05 May 09 - 04:04 PM pm me the specs ! dachshunds ... they're ok. myself ... I prefer greyhounds. biLL |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Little Hawk Date: 05 May 09 - 04:25 PM I'll get back to you about the Leica shortly, Bill, with the details. Probably tomorrow. There's my father's old camera here...the Leica...and some accessories. He went for high quality stuff. We can exchange email addresses, and I'll send you some jpegs to look at if you're really interested. |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Joe Offer Date: 05 May 09 - 05:25 PM ...Vernor's Ginger Ale, invented in 1866. I'm originally from Detroit, and I know how good it is. I went to Vernor Elementary School for kindergarten, and we got all we could drink on special occasions. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 05 May 09 - 05:47 PM I believe Vernor's is called a "ginger soda" instead of a "ginger ale". It doesn't have the bite that a strong ginger ale does. It reminds me of a cross between a ginger ale and a cream soda. If you want a ginger ale that'll clear your sinuses, come down here to Floribama and try a Buffalo Rock. |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: catspaw49 Date: 06 May 09 - 03:26 PM Vernors is the only REAL ginger ale anywhere...........but screw that..... Personally I want to talk about that blessed and brilliant, timely and talented, prince among men......and a god to so many. I want to discuss someone who takes life by the balls and grabs his revenge the same way. Let's break down the walls that separate truth and beauty and lift high the spirit of the only true and annointed prophet of the world ....... The Most Worshipful Egomaniac Master of All Things........Da' Hat, his good self! Whaddaya' think Hawk? Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: I'd rather talk about.... From: GUEST,Slag Date: 07 May 09 - 04:10 PM LH, I notice, often, that it's YOU in the middle of those long tedious arguments (well, and ME TOO!). However I share your sentiment here. I'd go for Barsoom too. And Pelucidar (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle). And didn't you love the cover art by Bama for Conan (speaking of Conans) the Barbarian? He also did most of the art for ... ...Doc Savage ( the REAL first Superman, Man being an Earth creature, you know). Astrophysics is fun as is quantum mechanics. Yes LH, Doxies are interesting dogs. If I had one, I might name it Ortho. |

She was the mother of my friend Jim, to whose widow I am now married. If she's my wife's mother-in-law, what is she to me? I've never met Hermione, but we get wonderful letters from her. And she got a telegram from the Queen to celebrate her birthday. -Joe- |
