Gottschalk sums up what I believe should be the ethos of the Ship: quote:
we should perhaps never give up the task of trying to dialogue, discuss and learn, in spite of our convictions and beliefs, and that we all need a healthy dose of distance from ourselves, our beliefs, and everything else, all peppered with humour
That should be nailed to the masthead, at least of Purgatory.

Quetzalcoatl (are you looking for frequent friggin' flying points down here? ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ... I note Lamb Chopped ![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif) ed it but clearly has enough frequent flights by courtesy of appearances on this thread)

I thought that everybody is ignored on the internet. In fact, forums are not really for communication, are they? Well, fortunately, I love reading my own posts. What could be more satisfying? Such wise words.
Though come on ... it should be "fora" ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

"The current entry from the Oxford Dictionary says: The plural of forum is usually spelled forums; the plural fora (as in the original Latin) is chiefly used when talking about a public square in an ancient Roman city."

lilbuddha on the Famous Last Posts thread referring to newly created mash-up topic 2017 Celebrity Death Piglet:

"Oh, what a cuuute little piggy!"

"What?! Nooo!"

snort

This thread popped to the top of the Circus with a six day old quote. Meaning someone posted a quote and then deleted the post. I shall be forever* curious as to what that quote was and why it was deleted. Why the second though, was it nasty, salacious, twisted? All three?
*Well, 15 minutes or so.

It was me. I said 'Brave man'. Then it occurred to me that I didn't know whether Doc Tor is a man or a woman and therefore, having kicked myself, I deleted it.
Sorry to disappoint!

Prior to my 2nd marriage my (never married) husband-to-be was briefly concerned that (when asked) I made clear that daughter would always come first. He consulted with two married friends: "is it normal for your wife to put your kids first?". One, a new father with a brand-new baby, pondered the question for a brief moment. The other-- having been a father for several years with a couple of toddlers-- laughed at them both, mocking the new father for not realizing that "you were #2 before the epidural wore off".
Wisdom and truth. The only trick is to know what kind parent and child pair they will grow into to know if there is room in there edgewise for you.

I used to watch crap TV (home makeover shows etc) whilst ironing my husband's shirts. He used to explain that I'd rot my brain watching such rubbish, and say that he would never risk his own mighty brain by watching inane T.V. Eventually I realised that I was losing my husband's respect by watching mindless drivel whilst ironing his shirts. But I knew that I was incapable of watching anything intellectually challenging and ironing at the same time.
So I stopped ironing his shirts.
His mighty brain had genuinely not anticipated that as a solution to the problem. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

That's what happens when people live in cloud cuckoo land. They push everyone out of the nest before they can fly, then add a rather bizarre lemming twist by jumping themselves before they fledge.
