"thread killer"'s rant made me smile 'cause it reminded me of my last marriage. Just keep saying it and it will happen eventually. Of course that took ten years to kill so there's still hope for the thread!

just posting without any comments seems like cheating; post last - like the Norwegians (Vikings) cutting off their hands to throw it on the island to be there first, and claim the country for Norway.
I'm keepin all my body parts, but insist that logically - I should be last, inasmuch as I continue to reason with the very real facts, that I am at the end of the earth, and have earned being "last".
just hitting 'post' with xxe, or nothing there, is cheating!

..Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you.

It was but yesterday we met in a dream.

You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky.

But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn.

The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part.

If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song.

And if our hands should meet in another dream, we shall build another tower in the sky.

So saying he made a signal to the seamen, and straightaway they weighed anchor and cast the ship loose from its moorings, and they moved eastward.

And a cry came from the people as from a single heart, and it rose the dusk and was carried out over the sea like a great trumpeting.

..from The Farewell (Last Chapter of the Prophet by Khalil Gibran)

Nonsense! We have yet to get into a really serious discussion about William Shatner, how he changed the art of stage and screen, and his overall effect on the evolution of human consciousness and social mores as we move boldly into the 21st century.

Shatner rules! Have you seen him hosting the American version of Iron Chef? My favorite bit was the purple spangly top hat and tails. How can anyone resist such consummate showmanship?

And I still want to know if The Last Word will be wrapped in shiny paper with a pretty bow.

Sorry freda, but such a high-toned posting of Gibran almost brought this thread into the realms of the intellect, a place few of us feel at our best (just on this thread, folks..don't get persnippity with me).

In agreement rather with LH, that an in-depth discussion of Willam Shatner will still keep us safely skating on the surface of life as we know it, with little chance of sinking into the morass of higher learning. Lead on, McHawk!..xx..e

PS-Oh GOODY! I didn't know shiny paper and a pretty bow were in the offering! You'll never get rid of me now!..;-)

I just thought I'd drop in for a minute and say that I am gratified by the good sense shown by stalwarts like Little Hawk and ranger1 and s6k. You're just the kind of people this society needs, people with real taste and understanding who aren't afraid to stand up and voice their opinions. I've been pretty busy with the horses, recording a new album with Tom Waites, and booking conferences and so on. Have a look at my website for the latest chitchat.

Well then, carry on,
