Dang!
This thread feels like those four years in the Marines
hurry up and wait...repeat.
Thanks to all y'alls for the burst of enthusiasm!
and thank you for wasting those pre-work moments at work...
On 2009-11-18 10:45, Chip and Andy,two of the cutest and most enthusiastic contributors to this thread asked:
Dear Little Lost Tiki.....
Should we be worried that Woofmutt is becoming obsessed with Death? I offer this thread as an example. Should we gather some orgeat and rum and fresh mint and plan an intervention?
No no dearies...
Woofmutt is a Highly evolved Brainiac who doesn't have time to ponder death
(especially after his research into hyper-dimensional physics and the anomalies on the Moon and mars..)
There are bigger Fish to Fry out there!
orgeat and rum and fresh mint?
perhaps...with a hint of hemlock
and a cracked thermometer for a drink stirrer...
What woofmutt is sharing
is his knowledge of patterns
it is thru trends/patterns that spans of this time wave length
can be recognized and noted...
(think Mandelbrot curve...or not!)
He just happened to notice this significant number of posts
all relating to death...
So...that answered... Why is it?
Is it media societal brainwashing
to prepare us for a natural/supernatural/staged End-Times "event"?
Is it all those TCers getting older and beginning to contemplate
their "next stage" ? Alcohol does bring about those thoughts...
it IS a Depressive,remember?
Or could it be...a subconscious "signal" that the scene is dying?
there are these 2 gentlemen who run some kinda "webbots" program
to gauge certain words/phrases /tendencies and "chatter" on the internet
it's interesting how there is a groundswell of "chatter" LEADING to major events
kind of a "psychic realization"or unconscious premonition...
food for thought there...
So, to answer your question, C & A..
is don't be worried
he is merely pointing out clues to us..
Atomic Tiki Punk's comment isn't really valid for this question
Of course, it's welcome in this conversation
but a bit mis-guided
since different molds affect ALL parts of this country...
tree mold
we have a fungus that eats coniferous trees
and ANY condo you look at
there is a black mold growing/eating the cheap chicken wire covered stucco-paint on them...
and Grunge music is a symptom
not cause of this mindset...
like that monolith in 2001...kinda....well, not really....
On 2009-11-18 17:03, monkeyskull befuddedly pondered:
Dear LLT,
My friend Woofmutt (I will not reveal his last name in order to protect his identity) acts out with a lot of inconsiderate and immature behaviors. When we were at the Ivars brunch the other day, he took my crème brûlée and sunk it in the big bowl of Thousand Island dressing. Then he snatched my french fries from my plate and stuffed them into his pockets. When I tried to explain to him how immature and rude that was, he just yelled "Ooga mooga monkey man!" THAT MAKES NO SENSE!
When I finally got my plate refilled and sat down I found he had coated my seat with tartar sauce, and then he slowly stuck several of those little packets of jam to the back of my head. I tried to patiently explain to him why that was unacceptable behavior, but he just started yelling "Ooga mooga monkey man! Ooga mooga monkey man!" over and over. This really peeved me because it MAKES NO SENSE!
How can I get my anonymous friend to stop chanting "Ooga mooga monkey man!" and hold a sensible and mature conversation when I am displeased with his behavior?
Monkey Skull
P.S. Please don't tell me to seek the help of some mutual friends. Our mutual friends are the Tikirivieras, and they are even meaner to me.
Well Monkeyskull...
How can you get your anonymous friend to stop chanting "Ooga mooga monkey man!" and hold a sensible and mature conversation when you are displeased with his behavior?
you can't...
a friend is a person who is a friend
not because they're the only other person at an event that is palatable
or because they're interesting
but a friend is someone who loves,respects,and trys to understand and ACCEPT their friend's behavior..
the ACCEPTING part is the only part you are lacking...
Well... the respect too,but that was motivated by woofmutt's strange behavior
and outbursts.....
the food part i can only guess at.... so i won't..
it could be a strangely symbolic act
a cultural misunderstanding
a curse or HEX
a fetish
not sure...
so i ain't going there....
as for the mysterious phrase..
"Ooga mooga monkey man!"
i imagine first off
it's an anagram for SOMETHIN...
but,being the trickster incarnate
woofy understood that most humans wouldn't make the effort to decode his
SPECIAL MESSAGE TO MANKIND
BUT
if we just take the initials...
OMMM
a pun on AUM/OM however one spells it...
AUM is chanted usually at the beginning /ending of reading the Vedas
or before/after every prayer or mantra...
So possibly woofy may be a devotee of Hanuman-the monkey god of Indian lore...
The name Omkara, (Sanskrit:om)
is taken as a name of God in the Hindu revivalist Arya Samaj.
The concept of om
is found in Sikh theology as a symbol of God.
It emphasizes God's singularity,
or Ek Onkar
("One Omkara" or "The Aum is One"),
explaining and stating that the multiplicity of existence symbolized
in the aum syllable is really founded in a singular God
and that people who lift paragraphs from Wikipedia will be punished
Buddhists place om at the beginning of their Vidya-Sadaksari (mystical formula in six syllables)
om mani padme hum
as well as most other mantras
As a seed syllable (bija mantra), it is also considered holy in Esoteric Buddhism.
i DO know that...for woofmutt...
in the WINTER
he's a Buddhist
but
in the SUMMER
he's a Nudist!
:lol:
That's all i got...
I hope this helps you to understand and perhaps even be a bit more tolerable
of your mystical friend.....
On 2009-11-18 18:49, woofmutt opined:
Dear Liloti,
Some people call it "Ivars" when the name is clearly "Ivar's" as you can see for yourself right here.
WHy are peopl so dumbb liek that?
I...myself have made that same mistake...
there are LOCALS
and there are VISITORS
i would expect that mistake from a VISITOR but not a LOCAL...
As for the "why are people so dumb like that?" question...
at any given time 30 to 40% of the population are of "average" intelligence
which means that 30-35% of the others are SuperSmart or Plum Dumb
that's life on Earth,my friend..
It is the responsibility of the Supersmarters to help educate the Plum Dumbs...
that is your mission..
GO!
On 2009-11-18 19:52, Humuhumu wondered:
Dear Little Lost Tiki,
What do I need to do to get someone to smear Ivar's Tartar Sauce all over my chair? That stuff is hecka good.
Ever hopeful,
Humuhumu
That's an easy answer Humuhumu!
What do you have to do?
- Get Married
- go on a Honeymoon
- get liquored up
- and simply ASK....
Wonderful things will happen.my dear!
i predict
:)
On 2009-11-18 22:09, ravenne was befuddled and asked:
Dear Kinneh,
Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin???
Is it fear of a zombie ambush???
Sleepin wiff one eye open,
~Ravz
Only an animator-to-be would ask that...
An airtight coffin fosters decomposition by anaerobic bacteria
which results in a putrefied liquification of the body
and all that nasty gummy melty tissue remains inside the container
only to be exposed in the event of an exhumation!!!!!
hence tha name... "SOUPY" SALES...
aw... that was bad...
too soon... too soon...
EEEW!
BUT....
a container that allows air molecules to pass in and out, such as a simple wooden box nailed shut
allows for aerobic decomposition that results in
a much less stinky odor and clean skeletonization.
one more thing,friend...
zombies aint real
'cept in Haiti....
Down with Hollywood mass media Zombies!
Phew! Just in time to start work!
Thanks Buddies
fer jump-startin the ol' creative motor!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZoooom!
