Don't mean to get deep or anything....just curious.

I met an elderly woman the day before Easter! 2010
She walked up to me to start talking about ABBA!
I was visiting the hospital,
I sat in the library but for the hospital to read the newspaper!

Do not ask me was that she would start talking about ABBA

She began to talk about Easter in Sweden. about old times!

Today, it is not so many who celebrate in Sweden,
Swedish traditions.
Usa cand have a better stronger deep tradition of having several people in the same city (along with others)
Than in Sweden, so it is no longer in Sweden.
Sweden is a very corrupt country social mental ability.

She said at the time, she did not know that these young people would become known.
She adolescents from ABBA when they were young. who sing at the Easter bonfire.

What I remember about abba the 70 century
I remember the old ABBA cover from my mother,
She was once a time old LPs. The car dies, the car was a brown woman legs coming out of a car door. I was about 3 years old 4 years old.

In Sweden, it is rare that people walk up to a stranger to begin

Quote from: Faustina on September 24, 2014, 01:11:01 AMISIS needs to be contained and dismantled before they get over here and try to do something similar to that dismal 9/11 stunt and Al Qaeda pulled off.  Because they might just be successful.  I am very pleased about the air strikes, and hope they keep ISIS on the run, on the defense, and unable to do very much at all coz they're too busy running for U.S. Coalition bombs.  (I look forward to the UK joining that coalition).

I agree with the person who commented along the lines that this is the most dangerous group to come along since the Nazis.  Let us just hope they do not precipitate WW III.  By nipping them in the bud now, maybe that can be avoided.

Ha, yes indeed. A fairly interesting thread in itself, with a number of other classic BellGabbers revealing why they chose their particular user names.

Quote from: expat on February 21, 2012, 09:58:55 AMHoagland got worse last night, repeating that other lie about NASA astronauts. He said that Neil Armstrong, on the occasion of the Apollo 11 20th anniversary, likened astronauts to parrots, saying only what they'd been told to say. Here's what Armstrong actually said:

  "Wilbur Wright once noted that the only bird that could talk was the parrot, and he didn't fly very well. So I'll be brief."

        Armstrong, of course, is possibly the greatest pilot the world has ever known but is also well known for being a poor and nervous public speaker. Is he likening himself to a bird whose talents are the exact opposite? No, of course not. He's apologizing for not being eloquent and saying that therefore he won't speak for long. He's the exact opposite of a parrot.

        Hoagland, you "vile, lying asswipe," as somebody once said.

Quote from: Eddie Coyle on April 25, 2011, 10:06:36 AM"White privilege" is one of the most digusting,hateful terms in today's jargon. It's the babble of race hustlers and their aging guilty white liberal benefactors. Because ALL WHITES have the same life experience,right? We're some wealthy fucking monolith living off the sweat of dark-complected people.

Quote from: Caruthers612 on July 11, 2008, 06:11:20 PMWhile I could be devoting the little gray cells to learning chess, mastering Japanese or opening a portal between my septic tank and Azeroth, I seem unable to focus on anything other than this one question. And why would I? I mean, is there anything else that matters? Let's get real.
      So far, since I possess neither gobs of money, fame, nor a member the size of...er, I mean, great industry contacts, I have come up with a big fat nothing. I am open to suggestions. Let's put our heads together, fellas, if you'll pardon the expression; this is in our mutual interest. What does it take? How can it be done?

Quote from: Camazotz Automat on November 28, 2008, 12:51:12 PMJust as interesting to me, JD Salinger had but TWO novels published, the second being Franny and Zooey. 

I've sent numerous letters to JD suggesting he team up with Harper Lee and write a joint novel.  He only replied once: 

I received an envelope filled with sawdust and four dead flies.

I interpreted this as a reference to the Four Horsemen (horseflies) of the Apocalypse referenced in the Book of Revelation.  On the exterior of the envelope, where the return address should have appeared, a purple ticket stub from Coney Island was glued. 

Line one of the stub reads: THE HO
Line two of the stub reads: OF MIR

(Obviously, this is not a reference to some Russian slut orbiting the planet, though I can't be completely sure, given the sender's disposition.)

Curiously, as revealed by the printed monogram on the flap, the envelope itself was part of a stationary set as issued by the legendary New York City Horn & Hardart automat. 

JD is such a kidder.  He knew that fact would ~lodge~ in my mind.  It haunts me to this day, obviously.  I'm obsessed with automats.

Lee is 82.  Salinger is 89. 

And I ...

I am growing more mysterious by the yoctosecond.

(I saved the envelope and its contents.)

Quote from: b_dubb on September 06, 2010, 12:06:13 AMwatch the movie "Flubber" and ignore the Disney cheese.  instead, note how the Professor character putters around town in his old Ford Model A hunk o' crap at the first part of the movie and then at the end he get's intercepted by a couple of Super Saber fighter jets.  so ... within the span of 50 years we went from primitive internal combustion engines, mass produced automobiles, and then super sonic flight.  that's a HELL of a leap in such a short time.  and possibly the only reason to watch that movie.  a funny coincidence that the Professor is seen as a UFO on the radar at the end when they scramble fighters after his flying jalopy

fast and my skills as a Interviewer no longer exist. Like a Prize fighter who took one to many punches I am off
in zombieville. I can take a hint, I am done. So I will now leave and abandon my idea of free streaming along
with a life that has now lost all it's meaning. I am sorry to have crushed so many dreams and now understand
full well that the real King has taken his rightful place on the throne of Bell Gab. I understand I am dead to you
all.

Quote from: ACE of CLUBS on January 08, 2013, 10:38:50 PMIt's always been a question for me ...... why are we so complex? .....  Equipped with memory, an inherent grasp of 'right/wrong', a range of emotions, and the ability to reason ..... the list goes on.


To have all these 'qualities' and a relatively short lifespan leads me to wonder ...... what comes next?

Quote from: aldousburbank on February 28, 2011, 11:10:33 AMI'm on a roll here-
Another thing that interests me about paranormal or edge subject matter is that, some of us are drawn to such like moths to cosmic flame, and others not so much.  Speaking to the choir here, I've grown accustomed to the odd looks I get when certain acquaintances see my recent reading book piles.  Recently, I was "counseling" a young friend concerning some seriously complicated life issues, trying to talk him down, when he glances from my books on the coffee table to me and says, "Why should I listen to you when you've got books about Manson and Oswald and stuff?"  The kid had a good point.
