I Am A Universe Of One

From: Gam

As a universe of one, I am so happy to be an integral member in our humanity. I look forward to the future and equity, that very system for dealing fairly and equally with all concerned.

Okay, I'm a universe of one and so are you. Well? Is this news to you?

I think it is REALLY important that SOMEONE (ANYONE) post to this thread.

We share a comprehensive enthusiasm on this first of many steps!

I have no idea how many Mudcat cookies this member/anon guest has, but it is starting to get really tiresome.

Is this the same anon guest that refreshed the happy birthday amos thread?

Or maybe this is Guest that started the gobbledygook thread about existence today (since our new member here just joined a few minutes ago)?

Maybe it's Shambles, Amos, or YOU brucie. You seem to be present on all of them, so I guess that makes you suspect numero uno.

Maybe it's time for another vacation from Mudcat brucie. Or at least a check on those meds.

You hereby have my permission to go fuck yourself, GUEST. Ten way from Tuesday. You also have my permission to ask the powers that be to confirm that my posts as GROK, GUEST brucie and brucie are from the same URL.


And, dipshit, you are much too 'up' on who is posting where, which in the parlance makes you a stalker of sorts. And maybe a sick motherfucker at that.

Have a nice day.

Ten ways from Tuesday.

Ten???? Can that really be done? I only seem to be able to manage 7 or 8. :~)

Lemme try out the premise of the thread:

I am a universe? Um, no.............

Brucie right on all counts. How does anyone know who has just joined? I mean is it just in a list on here for all to see? Or are there darker forces at work...at the moment I am in the 'thinking you are a sicko' camp.

"Dod-gamn, fother-mucking bon of a sitch ... get in your own jackyard and back off." :D

Oh wait, I got distracted.

What if there was a universe and I was the only one in it? My definition of hell.

Or are we each just "pocket universes" that fit into bigger ones like Chinese puzzle boxes or Russian Matroshka (sp?) dolls?

It's not even the wee hours, and I have yet another excuse to be goofy. Heh.

GUEST,

It's the meds, sheep, goat, pressures. It all adds up GUEST. The blow-up dolls, Kerry, Bush, fuuuuccccckkkkkkkkkk.

PS You could have said, "Thank you." I did after all wish you a nice day. And I do apologize about the sheep remark. But from curiousity, do you?

"one molecule of any element to one space: a cosmic democracy"
One Universe and 6.1 billion of us individual spheres, a universe of one. You can always get out of system, not Universe. A Chinese puzzle box is a system. How many spheres does it take to make a minimum system?


12 Sep 04 - 04:08 PM (#1270253)
Subject: RE: I Am A Universe Of One
From: Peace

1) A single sphere is free to rotate in any direction.
2) Two tangent spheres although free to rotate in any direction must do so cooperatively. They are friction geared together.
3) Three omni-intertangent spheres can rotate cooperatively only about their three intertangent axes which are parallel to the edges of the equilateral triangle defined by joining the sphere centers, i.e., if the top of each sphere rotates inwardly toward the center of the triangle then the bottom of all three spheres rotate outwardly. This produces a top involuting and bottom outvoluting pattern.
4) Four spheres lock together. Altogether the four spheres have insideness and outsideness. Each corner sphere is a complex system. the four together constitute a minimum system. No rotation is possible, making the minimum stable closest-packed-sphere system: the tetrahedron.

Take the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper. When you can take the pebble it will be time for you to leave.

OK, best two outta three?

stephen hawking's book thats meant to explain life the universe and everything says we have the ashes of dying stars in our bones. that's all i understood before i gave up, but it indicated to me GAM that yes, the universe is right there in you (or is that me) and in Esmerelda too. and if the universe is one, that means we're all goats.. AND sheep too for that matter. and GUEST, you are really an amalgam of Shambles, Amos, or YOU brucie.. which raises the scary question that nobody has asked...

do we actually all WANT top be one?

i guess the answer is no, which is why most of us think we're not.

baaaaa....(thats meant to be a bleat)

Is the pebble a time piece, symbolic of a train station, or a token in a subway?

If you go, how will we KNOW?

Regarding the token in a subway system. I did that in New York a few times. Didn't seem to bother anyone.

What one what? Huh? You token in the subway system too?

What happens if the token is broken? Is there any way to unify it? ;)

"One what?"

One with the token, and as Teresa has spoken, it's broken. Now we got two. If you're one with someting that is now to, are you one anymore? If so, how? If not, why?

Who WAS that masked man.

Hi, Gam. Yes, I get you. I too am a Universe of One, and so are we all. Matter of fact there is only One of us here, period. But it's masquerading as many. How 'bout that? It even masquerades as many having bitter disagreements with one another. Fascinating, isn't it? We are a Universe of One embodying every conceivable variation and possibility whatsoever.

Then there's the game they play in the lumber camps in winter:

The Frozen Log... a stick of frozen turd from the outhouse is brought in for everybody to stir their coffee with. It starts at the top of the table and is passed ondown the line, everybody taking their turn. The stick unthaws more and more with each cup it is inserted in. You learn to hurry to be first at breakfast.
