So I wake up and I come to Mudcat to find out what's what, and I read the title of this thread "Resuscitate the Dead Circle".

I swear that my first thought was "Have some people stopped using circles?" How would they draw the moon when it's not half or quarter or whatever other name the moon's shapes are given?

My second thought-actually my third thought but who's counting-was "Maybe whoever started that thread is talking about a certain kind of circle-like maybe that's what a Wicca group is called (no disrespect intended for Wiccans). Maybe that group was dying out-having a batch of bad spells...I hope you excuse me. Like the guy in one of my favorite movies "Animal House", I'm on a roll (whole wheat), only it's like a sled and I don't really know what hill I'm riding down. Maybe I'll end up crash landing but I gotta keep going. I can't stop myself until I stop, if you know what I mean. It's a stream of conscious thing and I'm not gonna let my conscious bother me right now.

Anyway, I then thought "I hope somebody knows how to Resuscitate the Dead Circle 'cause I don't know what kind of CPA it would take.

But then I looked at the thread title again and realized that it was "Resuscitate The Dead Cliche".

Oh! Cliches! All the time I'm feeling ignorant and out of the information loop (I never call myself "dumb") cause I didn't know that Wiccan groups were called "Circles", and then all the time I was feeling quilty cause I knew if I saw a circle laying on the street or on a sidewalk that needed to be resucitated I would hesitate for fear of getting germs or worse from it... All that time the word was really "cliches".

"Puff Puzz Fizz Fizz. Oh what a relief it is".

Which is only a cliche in my own mind. Which is why I didn't add it to that other thread.

Now I know that some folks don't like threads that have play on words titles. But I think there is an exception to every rule (Hey! That's a cliche if I every saw one -or "said one"/"wrote one" as the case may be).

So I said to myself "Self, maybe people can have fun with a thread about bringing a circle back to life. Or maybe they prefer bring a square back. Or a triangle or question mark." (Don't ask how I got to punctation marks from geometric figures. Beats me. That's how my mind works sometimes. Remember I'm on a roll).

Or maybe we could all join hands (Kumbaya-like) and try to bring back the period. Full stop (I learned that on Mudcat. I'm so proud of myself for using it).

Periods really are in danger of needing resuscitation, especially when you're a female of a certain age. Where I live when some women have their periods, they say their "friend" has come. Well, my friend hasn't come for a long while and I'm glad about that.

Full stop and all that jazz.

So anybody wanna resuscitate a circle? Or maybe you can get your kicks tryin to resuscitate a square who turned into a beatnik and then turned back into a square. How bout resusciating an octagon? I like the sound of that shape.

And there's always the period. But maybe yours don't need resusciatation. Somehow I don't think any women would want to resusciate that kind of period-or men either for that matter.

Anyway, you're invited to join in these musings if you've a mind to.

And if not, it's all cool and the gang -which is another cliche I use which is based on the name of the Pop group so maybe this could be a music thread.

??

Naw.

I haven't played down in the BS section for a while. If anyone else wants to play (nicely) with me in this thread, jump in the water's fine, though you'll have to play without me for awhile at least 'cause I'm goin back to bed.

See ya later, alligator.   

Full stop.
