Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there
are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us
nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back. Why are we still there?


Their government is unstable, and they have loopy leadership. Why are we
still there?


Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?


The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail
them out of. Why are we still there?


There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand. Why
are we still there?


Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans. Why
are we still there?


We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?


They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to
rebuild, which we can't afford. Why are we still there?


It is becoming clear...

Pulling out of So Cal would leave a salty mess (the Salton Sea) and a bit of a "gap" - the Gulf of Mexico. . .

Would that make the San Gabriel Mountains a sort of a diaphram or sponge?

There is obviously some kind of honour/status or at least reason for wanting to be last on a thread...I am sure I will not be!!!!! but being new to this, I would not want to be in this competitive, repetitive and apparently immature attempt (particularly by certain people who appear regularly in the list) at being last in the thread.
I wish all of you people who keep coming back to this waste of time....the best of luck....the person who started it will certainly gain some kudos for the length of the thread which is great!!!

Did You Know...
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

(O.M.G.!)


A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)


A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)

(I'm still not over the pig.)


Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

(Do not try this at home. Maybe at work.)


The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes... lucky pig. can you imagine??)


The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)


Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

(Hmmmmmm........)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)


Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

(OK, so that would be a good thing....................)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.

(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains.

(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.

(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)


Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(goats??)

What????? I don't believe that thing about the pig. Where did you get it? I don't see how any living creature could survive a 30 minute orgasm. I would want to try 1 minute orgasms first, then work my way up to 5 minute ones, and so on...before I went for the big 30. Sounds really dangerous to me.

How can you tell that a pig is having a 30 minute orgasm anyway? The pig might be faking.

I remember back in the 80's when they found that the crustal motion was stopped along the San Andreas... from 8cm/year to zero. Lots of concern over a BIG quake, but... Someday, we might actually understand this planet.

Sonnet 27/03/04                            CM

Be mine, sweet muse, that I might hold you near
And not think that I must soon let you go.
I want you in my arms: Should I make clear
How much I want your love? Words do not show
All that you mean, nor how heart aches to feel
The touch of skin, and warmth of my desire.
I long to trace all of your curves, to seal
All of you into heart, and dreams inspire.
Could lips tell more than pen? I would kiss try
To longings speak: How could I passions hold
From life, and action? Could dreams hope to fly
To one who all of dreams has to heart told?
You are the one that heart would passions give,
But can I tell of hopes, and let dreams live?

Hey, I want to know more about the 30 minute orgasm! What the hell is wrong with the rest of you people, rambling on about other unimportant stuff? 30 minute orgasms could utterly transform the World as we know it and probably bring an end to war. Get with the program here. Talk about the Big Bang! Man, I just can't think about anything else now that I heard about this. Even if it's only half accurate, that would still add up to 15 minute orgasms, and that ain't shabby!

I duno - I'm pretty exausted after my regular length - 30 minutes might kill me (but what a way to go).

The real question is do they enjoy it? For some animals (the femal cat., for example) an orgasm happens only when triggered by pain (and one could argue the mantis is a similar event). Seems like to me that pigs like rolling around in mud a hell of a lot more than shagging.



As for California - Southern California will never slip of into the ocean because of tectonic action. All it will do is slowly move up the coast with LA and San Fran eventually being twin cities thousands of years form now.

Sonnet 24/01/02                        DCL

A sonnet is a frozen tear, a kiss,
Preserved in fourteen lines. It is a pearl
Of layered thought, a gem too bright to miss
When set on page: One blossom, to unfurl
To perfect flower. As amber, sealed soul
In timeless tomb, it can show time long past,
Or hold this instant in it's grasp. The whole
Of heart upon one single page, to last
Beyond even our dreams, it seems a sip,
Distilled to essence. Refined within mind,
Lines sing sweet song, and rhymes in patterns slip,
To weave image that leaves mere vision blind.
A single chord, to resound in one's heart:
Echo of past that might our future start.


Not an I in sight.....

Kisses are,
                 but may be classified,
                 according to intent.
                A kiss
                Upon the forehead
                 is to seal devotion:
                A light touch on eyelids
                 indicates a hope for peaceful dreams:
                On a cheek
                 shows family affection.


                A kiss upon the lips
                 has several meanings:
                One, a gentle brush of lips,
                 offers concern,
                The other, a striving of the teeth and tongues,
                 shows willingness and desire.


                To kiss the ears, the neck, or chin
                Might be to seek for trust, or just to taste the skin.


                A kiss upon the curve of breast,
                 investigation:
                That upon the nipple often a plea,
                 or hunger for attention.


                The kiss upon the stomach, back or arms
                 is to arouse sensation.


                A kiss on back of hand,
                 a greeting, or a subtle offer:
                Upon the palm, a gift of heart,
                 to be tightly held, or quickly released.


                The kissing of the fingers, or the toes,
                 shows a desire to please,
                 or to be guided onward.


                The touch of lips to thighs, and variations,
                 are preludes and will not
                 be treated in this note.


                This is a partial catalog of meaning:
                Next week, we will discuss techniques.

Thanks for the compliments Ellen,

By trade, I'm a historian - Director of the Central Florida Heritage Foundation. A sideline is writing. I did write the posts - I would never post someone else's work without crediting the source (and I know you weren't intimating that :> ).

I am also active in the Pagan and Unitarian Universalist communities in Florida and the U.S. I lead occasional services at my home UU congregation as well as other in Florida and other places. I also helped found the Wiccan Religious Cooperative of Florida, Inc 15 years ago and am a published author of articles on Pagan topics. The stuff I posted on the Pagan thread is from a handout sheet I put together years ago to help non-Pagans to understand the Wiccan Wheel of the Year.

Check out the website of the CFHF - it is an extensive site on the history of the Orlando area: The Central Florida Heritage Foundation

As for fun, I also host a website called Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Song Lyrics It has the lyrics to the theme songs of over 750 TV shows around the world.

OK Blackcatter, I'm suitably impressed.

In fact, I'm constantly being impressed by Mudcatters. So many people with such a complexity of knowledge in different areas.

I've gone to some other websites to check out different forums and I have to say that I find myself always preferring the eclectic stuff that comes along here, a lot of time when it's least expected.

Then again, we do have our own collection of "others", which help to balance things out.

A sonnet to a friend of mine, on the occasion of her belly-dance recital...


Sonnet 11/02/02                        DCLV

I watch you dance, and study how you move,
To focus music with each roll and sway.
You rouse my senses: With each note they play,
You form emotion with your motion, prove
That sight succeeds as much as touch. You draw
All thoughts, and eyes: You dance into our dream.
You need no gems upon you: Your eyes gleam
Far more than perfect stone, without a flaw.
You glow, with your excitement: With your smile
You light the room, and brighten life. You turn,
And heart follows away, and desires burn
To fever pitch: How high can passions pile?
The music stops, and you are still: You hold
Your pose, but world returns, and room grows cold.

Sonnet 18/10/01 To Jennifer's Kitten        DCXV

So, playful kitten, shall I find a ball
Of yarn to help entice you closer? What
Bright bauble might attract your gaze, to call
You to my lap, that I might watch eyes shut?
Shall dancing feathers on a string be prey
To huntress in carpeted hall? Is toe
To be target? Do you with shadows play,
Or does your path through unseen jungles go?
Fierce fuzzy feline, proud puff tail held high,
What beasts do you pursue? Are monsters found
Behind the curtains, or do dragons fly
Invisible to those upon the ground?
You look at me, then march across the floor
On padded paws, and promenade out door.

A perfect day for planting, with no sun
To burn life from small leaves; The promise of
Water to sustain new growth. Here's one
Of Nature's subtle gifts, to show her love.
You plant sweet herbs for future use, and weed
Unwanted growth, but know a use for all
The garden grows. Four senses gardens feed,
And birds, who nourish fifth with evening call.
The breeze brings cool contentment, as the day
Slides into night. You have the future sown.
In time, all that you plant will grow, to pay,
With interest, labor done by harvest grown.
With laughter in eyes, and smile touching cheek,
You have in your garden all I might seek.

Doe at 2AM

She froze, staring into the light
Thinking the eyes unseen could see
The apprehension inside. Night
Seemed so secure: Darkness would be
Welcome, to hide within. How might
She in this brightness hope to flee
Back to the shadows? Time stands still:
A moment that the tensions fill.
