My absolute favorite thing is travel. Almost every other item that people listed as being their favorite this, may be combined with travel to make them even better.

Thank you Cale. But please do not confuse me with anyone. I have been born only once on ECCIE, and am not the Moderator or anyone else known as GP, who presumably was far less irascible than I am, and whose English and race is completely alien to mine! Surely you can understand that these things cannot be feigned. So, I am not anyone else but my own truculent self, a philistine.

Philistine, I think not.

Paul,

You lack intelligence to an alarming degree and so much else besides that it is not funny. Let me ask you if your putative GP could read, write or understand Vedic, or Sanskrit?

Hello, my omniscient idiot savant, that is in SamskRta. Now, do you suppose your precious buddies or many people here can tell me what that means? Could your erstwhile GP? Would GP know where this comes from? Why do you not find a competent authority and find out and ask me to discuss thoroughly the meanings and derivation of the entire piece, and then ponder if your friend would have it in him to do as much, you arrant fool and malicious soul.

Why do you not take it to a Professor of Linguistics at BU or any competent authority in Sanskrit and call my bluff?

And if you are wrong, write an apology, saying you are a colossal, ignorant idiot and raving fool, using those specific words and will keep your stupid mouth shut when you are a moron and not impute false identities or any falsehoods based on a mind that has nothing inside it and a soul that is devoid of any truth.

I am rarely discourteous, but why do you seek to trouble me with your nonsense?

In the fields of philosophy and æsthetics, the term philistinism describes "the manners, habits, and character, or mode of thinking of a philistine"; the social attitude of anti-intellectualism that undervalues and despises art, beauty, spirituality, and intellect. The philistine is the man or woman who is smugly narrow of mind and of conventional morality whose materialistic views and tastes indicate a lack of and an indifference towards cultural and æsthetic values.

Truculent yes, philistine, no. Bombastic yes. Arrogant, yes, but that may just be an act. I care not, because I'll no sooner play all this second handle bullshit than I'll kiss ass for a PM about somebody's special lady. Y'all think you get into some special little superior niche until somebody pees in someone's beer. There's always a fence and man does the grass over there look green.

One of my favorite things is green grass. Another of my favorite things is yoga, but you can still shove the sanskrit up your ass.

So guess bashing is a few of my favorite things? Way to take an awesome thread and completely turn it around, and to think, I actually thought we were playing nice.

Yes, we were playing nice, and a polite word to someone brought forth a mocking and wholly unwarranted insinuation. Which received the sharp response it deserved. Gentleness does not mean weakness, and Johnny Cap does not understand his own idiocy and viciousness, either, which can be put down with a harsh hand when required.

Yes, Rodeoman, we were indeed having a very pleasant conversation with some fine ladies until the habitual spoilers decided to bring their usual worthlessness into play. There is NO room for personal attacks and personal jibes that have become a way of life on this board. And I see only a few members posting, out of the many thousands registered. They seem to have taken over, and quelled all others into silence. How so?. These garbage cannot understand how pitiful they appear to any who stray in here from the normal world of human beings. I do know there are many decent folk here, and perhaps it is time that they stood up for their principles and said a FIRM NO to these scum. This is becoming far too much, this dominance by a dozen pathological scoundrel who believe they have a right to abuse any and all. That does not work in the real world and they should understand how it feels when the tables are turned against them. Johnny Cap, you are far less than a subhuman, so please do not fulminate with polysyllabic words whose meanings escape you. Johnny Cap, do you understand the simple message that Vermont has for its state motto, and which goes back to the Revolutionary War? "DON'T STEP ON ME". Behave with simple courtesy and you will never have cause to complain. Behave like filth and you will be treated as such. Simple.

So, my sincere apologies to Ms.Tiffany Blue. Please let us return this thread to its rightful place, since Spring is is full bloom. Swans are hatching their cygnets in many public parks.

One of the greatest blessing on this earth is that so many fine ladies accept so much negativity and yet continue to offer affection, friendship and companionship or its facsimile, which is often enough and a great boon for many. This is addition to the many more important elements of their chosen profession that they also offer and which certainly take an enormous deal out of them.

They never express fully how much is suffered and perhaps no one is there to fully understand how much truly is given. Perhaps some ladies do not even care. However, some few will want to know that there are at least some amongst us who are acutely conscious of what you do for us. Let the mockingbirds sing, my ladies, for their day of reckoning will come. Fierce will be the grapes of wrath they shall pluck with their beaks.

But for now, a simple THANK YOU. Quite inadequate, but somewhere in time, we shall meet again and thank again. Be blessed.

This board needs to practice some modicum of Right Speech. IJS.

Come now, everyone knows Philistines are people from Philistinia, a barbaric and uncultured land. Little is know of its people because the Philistinian language is so difficult to understand, consisting mostly of grunts and hooting. :-D
