Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: GUEST,GROK Date: 26 Aug 04 - 07:42 PM Penis explodes during sex Doctors in Romania are treating a 28-year-old whose penis exploded while he was making love to his girlfriend. Ilarie Coroiu was taken to hospital in the Transylvanian town of Cluj after his girlfriend, Magdalena, 18, "felt something strange" and noticed that the bed was covered in blood. Dr Angela Domocos, head of the accident and emergency department at Cluj General Hospital, said: "It is very rare for this to happen. We call it an exploded penis because it happens when the blood cavities in the penis burst. "I don't know what this couple were playing at, but there must have been tremendous pressure inside the penis to make this happen." Mr Coroiu is now recovering after an operation to stop the bleeding. And there you have it, folks. |

The interviewee, who worked with him, said he'd say "You can think anything you want, but once you say it, it's said."

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: CarolC Date: 26 Aug 04 - 10:12 PM Speaking of mayors, Spencer Schlosnagle has an outstanding record as mayor of the tiny western Maryland town of Friendsville. He became mayor in 1986 when he was only 22 years old. I am familiar with the saga of Mr. Schlosnagle through having been a resident of the town of Accident, a few miles down the road from Friendville, and from living in other parts of Garrett County during some of his tenure as mayor of Friendsville. Spencer became the notorious mayor of Friendsville in the early 1990s when he was arrested for indecently exposing himself to a Maryland State Trooper. This did not effect his position as mayor at all, and he was easily reelected several times, even after three convictions for indecent exposure. He served part of one of his terms as mayor in a correctional facility in Hagerstown, Maryland, about two hours drive from Friendsville, and on the other side of one or two mountain ranges. Spencer is still serving the town of Friendsville (where one of the local watering-holes is affectionately nicnamed "the Dodge City Dispensary") as it's mayor. Here is the latest news on Mr. Schlosnagle as of Wednesday, August 11, 2004. Way to go Spencer! MD Mayor Convicted Wednesday, August 11, 2004 The Associated Press "The mayor of Friendsville was convicted Wednesday of leading state police on a chase in northern Garrett County. A Garrett County District judge found 40-year-old Spencer Schlosnagle guilty of speeding and fleeing and eluding. The judge ruled that Schlosnagle didn't mean to hit a police cruiser and acquitted him of second-degree assault. Schlosnagle must pay a 50 dollar speeding ticket. The judge ordered probation before judgment on the fleeing and eluding count but fined him 100 dollars. Schlosnagle says he was distraught because his mother was dying. Schlosnagle is serving his tenth term as mayor of the town of 529 people. He has been re-elected repeatedly since first winning the post in 1986 despite convictions for indecent exposure in 1992, 1993 and 994." |

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: Bobert Date: 26 Aug 04 - 10:50 PM Well, it's said the Lord looks after fools and kids so I guess I got double coverage. Here's the real story... About two weeks ago a tenor/resonator was put on ebay and I watched it and watched it and on the last night before the bidding came to an end (2:00 am my time) I put in a bid that I thought would certainly be enough to buy it... I guess I should say that I need it. I love playing tenor guitars but the folks I jam with all have resonators and a tenor ain't got a lot of umph to it to begin with... Anyway, I lost the bid by a couple of bucks!!! Sniff... ...but I eamiled the guy with the winning bid and after a weks worth od wrangling and negotiating I am going to give him my '35 Gibson tenor in exchange for the reso tenor... Life is good. He's happy and I'm happy and when things happen like this, I know the Big Guy has a smile on His face... True story. Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: GUEST,fred miller Date: 27 Aug 04 - 09:32 AM Oh. You've got a lotta nerve--that one. I must agree. Positively 4th Street is one that sucks, verily. Perhaps some emotions, especially negative grudgy ones, don't want to be sung. And Dylan's gift for finding music in his unpolished voice doesn't always extend to listless, grooveless arrangements. It doesn't float enough, I think. On the positive side, I've found out that some of the Smothers Brothers are on video, and I'm going to get hold of it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Aug 04 - 11:15 AM "Slow down, you move too fast..." is from the song "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" by Simon and Garfunkel, not from "Positively Fourth Street" by Bob Dylan. Positively Fourth Street You got a lotta nerve To say you are my friend When I was down You just stood there grinning You got a lotta nerve To say you got a helping hand to lend You just want to be on The side that's winning You say I let you down You know it's not like that If you're so hurt Why then don't you show it You say you lost your faith But that's not where it's at You had no faith to lose And you know it I know the reason That you talk behind my back I used to be among the crowd You're in with Do you take me for such a fool To think I'd make contact With the one who tries to hide What he don't know to begin with You see me on the street You always act surprised You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" But you don't mean it When you know as well as me You'd rather see me paralyzed Why don't you just come out once And scream it No, I do not feel that good When I see the heartbreaks you embrace If I was a master thief Perhaps I'd rob them And now I know you're dissatisfied With your position and your place Don't you understand It's not my problem I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is To see you If you know the history behind the song, it's much more interesting. Bob Dylan had experienced a lot of strife and criticism from his audience and the folk community in general between the heady days of 1962-64 (when he could do no wrong) through the tumult of 65-66 when he did a series of things that upset many folkies profoundly, delighted others, and took him beyond folk altogether into a much wider rock/pop audience. First of all, he recorded his 4rth album "Another Side of Bob Dylan"...on which he pretty much left political "protest" behind (obvious protest, that is...) and turned instead to much more personal and introspective songs. They were still laden with protest, in my opinion, but it was protest on a more subtle philosophical level. It was not about Selma, civil rights, or disarmament. This upset people who wanted him to be the literal spokesman of their favourite political causes. Accordingly, he got criticized a lot for being creative in a new way. For changing. People resist change. He continued changing on the next two albums, and shifted radically into electric music by 1965, upsetting a whole lot more people. You can hardly imagine now just how upset they were! It seems bizarre in retrospect. Well, things got kind of crazy. A lot of Dylan's peers were quietly envious of his meteoric rise to fame. Some of them felt he didn't deserve it. Others just hated him for doing what they could not do. Others felt he had betrayed folk music in some way. There was a lot of bad gossip going around. There were people acting friendly to his face and cutting him to pieces behind his back, and that was plainly obvious. You know how it feels when someone smiles in your face, because they think maybe you can help them with something, but behind that smile they were wishing something would land on you and crush you? It happens. The music business was very competitive, and most of those people were young and insecure, looking to make their big mark on the world. Nobody had made as big a mark as Dylan in 65-66. Even the Beatles knew that. They sold more records, but Dylan was at the cutting edge of thought expressed in song. The Beatles were writing kid stuff in comparison. So you're in this position where you're so famous that you can't be a normal person around normal people anymore...and everybody wants to be your "friend" (but not really, they just want an advantageous connection)...or else they hate you openly with a vitriolic hatred because you have either done what they couldn't do or you have failed to do what they thought you ought to. Well, what's remarkable about the song Positively Fourth Street is the sheer gut intensity of it. You know he means it. Everybody was caught up in something there that they cared about at a very deep level, Dylan included, and he did not mince words. He said it straight out. You listen to that song...it could practically take the paint off the walls. Not by an exessive wall of sound and screaming guitars (like you hear a lot on the radio)...but by raw emotional intensity and bare honesty. He said what isn't usually said. Maybe he shouldn't have. Hard to say. It's not a pleasant song, but it's an unforgettable reminder of just how powerfully people were caught up in the music at that time, and how deeply their feelings went on the issues that were raised. He was like a bare wire. I listen to the song and it still amazes me how he layed himself bare in those words...without needing to use a single vulgarity. (Most people resort to vulgarity when they get really angry. It's the path of least awareness...or least control.) He had a lot of courage to record that song...and a lot of gall, too...because it really hurt some people who actually did care about him. They figured maybe it was aimed at them...and, hey, maybe it was. We were all young and somewhat fallible, searching for Love and for the Truth in our own particular ways. |

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Aug 04 - 02:33 PM Good material, Little Hawk. Rick Nelson also experienced fans and associates who couldn't accept his change and growth, and he also expressed it in the song "Garden Party." Look at the line about Dylan's disguise: what Hughes was this? (Howard died in 1976 and was ill for years). Is this a response to Dylan's earlier song, or an indictment? From a songfacts site comes this distillation of what I understood to be Nelson's story:
Nelson's song came out in 1972. Dylan's came out in 1965. Rick Nelson Garden Party I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends. A chance to share old memories and play our old songs again. When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name, But no one recognized me, I didn't look the same. But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. People came from miles around. Everyone was there. Yoko brought her walrus. There was magic in the air. And over in the corner, much to my surprise, Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise. But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. I played them all the old songs, I thought that's why they came. No one heard the music. We didn't look the same. I said hello to "Mary Lou, she belongs to me. When I sang a song about a Honky-Tonk, it was time to leave. But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode, Playing guitar like a ring and a bell and lookin' like he should. If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta lock, But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck. But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: GUEST,Fred Miller Date: 27 Aug 04 - 02:40 PM That's basically my take on the song too, LH, but I find it prosaic and lacking imagery and aesthetic distance compared to most of his other work. And it's a tune he doesn't sing well. And the tone is limp, maybe very sincere, but dull. Not that he shouldn't "say" it, I just don't think it's very good. Anyone know where my glass cutter is, dang it? |

Life's battles don't always go, To the stronger or faster man, But Soon or Late the man(woman)who wins Is the man (woman) WHO THINKS HE(SHE) CAN! The key word or wisdom is "STATE OF MIND" This is one time where the caps are O.K. as this is exactly how the origin poem appears, the caps are included by the author to illustrate the profound points in the poem. This is one of the most positive poems in existance. Its wisdom can only be detected by those who are ready to receive life's treasures! Dewey |

Subject: RE: BS: Only positive posts on this thread. From: katlaughing Date: 28 Aug 04 - 05:43 AM Thanks for posting that one, Dewey. It is a great poem. On a lighter note: my dog is a very positive thinker. He thinks our every action is with him in mind and includes food of some sort to be shared with him. An image came to mind the other day as he followed me to the kitchen: picture a cartoon, if you will, of a dog and its human standing in front of a closed refrigerator. The human is saying to the dog, "You can lead me to the 'fridge, but you can't make me open it!":-) all the best, kat |

For I can tell you. I know of men who believe in themselves more colossally than Napoleon or Caesar. I know where flames the fixed star of certainty and success. I can guide you to the thrones of the Super-men. The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums." (From Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton. |
