You know how in movies from the 30s and 40s the Asian characters mix their L's and R's? Not entirely true, but sometimes you have to wonder:
My last tour here in Japan (2000) I dated one of the local girls. One afternoon I returned from a week-long flight. Her first words when I called her after my postflight were, "How was your fright?", to which, smartass I am, I replied, "Very flightening". THAT put me in the doghouse for a weekend...
Based upon your suggestion, I clicked the title of this Little Skit and was taken to a magical place: edsitement.neh.gov.
Whoa...all the soft stuff (poetry, history, literature, philosophy, political theory) is there for a lifetime of edification and enjoyment. Now if I find a similar site for maths, science and other hard stuff, I can become my own intellectual hero.
I think I've said too much already. A girl can't lay down all her cards at once. Good thing my deck goes higher than 52. I wish I were a guy so I could pee anywhere I wanted while standing up. That's real power. I'd like to meet the following: My great-great grandparents, the N. Oklahoma ones, not the Swiss gentry. My woebegone friendship with Adam G. The man who's going to be with me till we're retired to the porch swing sucking on glycerine tablets, and who still reads to me at night, while I rub his feet. My ambitions with commitment and discipline. The characters from old David Lee Roth videos. Hot carb on carb action. That fucker who keeps trying to take the bbq, in a dark alley, satan's minions, lilliputians, nigglers, pifflers, piddlers, snake-oil peddlers, cripples, do-gooders, truth-seekers, sweethearts, wandering minstrels, interlopers, robber barons, saints, sinners, people who snort and guffaw, holler and whoop, tender tender people with good hearts, and all my fat little babies. I like BUTTER! And Vitamin Z!
