Juls dear, I *knew* it was a joke. And I lied,
my prehensile tale does involve a canopy. It's
over the bed.

Until this (steve) thing is over, I'm hanging out
right here in my sandbox searching for insights.
I got one: Juls, I am not God. I am overqualified
for the job.
Your Majesty, my quest is delayed by a conference-wide
identity crisis.
Brenner and Thanne: We should have stayed at lunch.
Sdober, you may have seeded your name in every response
but that changes nothing....you are still a 97 pound
weakling. Live with it.
Nephi, I thought you had this system under control.
Was I wrong? Or is all this your doing?
Selena, I invited you here ages ago. Where are you?
Raemo, if you haven't found accordion yet, give up.

vsclyne, I'd rather *die* than have my name attached to your wanker posts.
This is brenner's way of sullying my online reputation.

vsclyne returns to his sandbox to contemplate:
Did Thanne say <sdober> is 4' 6" tall? Am I in a shitload
of trouble if she actually said 6' 4"?
After 2000 years of enormous success for logic, science, and
monotheism, how can it be that we are so much less spiritual
than the "benighted" ancients?
Can it be that in cyberspace, accordions actually sound good?
[Rest in peace, Tom Mandel]

It's not just the 6'4" inch part of Dr. Doggie -- it's the impressive
solid bulk layered thereon, Clynesdale. Yes, you are in a shitload
of trouble; fortunately sdober is USUALLY the least ruffleable of
men. It's only the Irish that piss him off. (What's that? Oh. Sorry!)
I think that for the most part the benighted ancients were superstitious,
easily manipulated by their church, and therefore afraid NOT to be
"spiritual". They were also pretty brutal, the Templars only slightly
less so.
In cyberspace, accordions sound like Sirens; you may think it's the hum
of your hard disk, but it's only the wail of the meta-accordion.

There are three sizes. Bigger than Thanne (most of the population,
alas, except very young children), Around Thanne-sized, and
Smaller than Thanne. Sdober Man is definitely Bigger than Thanne.
I'm completely certain about this.

Say, you're right. This calls for a fourth size: Two Thanne's Worth.

I've been thinking about this. Two Thanne's Worth is a lot
of anything.

Later today I'm driving up to northern California for a week
and I'll be pretty much off line. My cyberself will sit here
continuing to wonder about the things that intrigue me:
Was there a cat peeing in my sandbox or was that just heavy
mist last night?
Were the ancients superstitious or, quite to the contrary,
did they have a more comprehensive and integrated model
of reality than we do today?
Should I take up the discordion? Do piano skills help or
is general contentiousness sufficient to play the discordion
like a virtuoso?
Will <humdog> remember me by the time I return?
Will <sdober> forgive me, or at least forebear breaking
my bones?
Will <brenner> come out of hiding by then?
Will <nephi> become less cheerful?
Will <selena> have calmed down?
Will <thanne> adopt me too?
Play nice; I'll see you in a week.

You're in luck, Shannon. I only recently enrolled in the Adopt-A-Clyne
program at my local Dairy Queen.

Hey, shannon, I'm the official music teacher in this conference...
If you plan to take up the discordion, consult with me first. We'll
get you started with the proper repertoire and technical exercises.
Just remember it takes dedication, discipline and
Practice, practice, practice.
With these few lessons (and practice, practice, practice) we'll have
ready to join us in the cyberspace discordion orchestra on the virtual
stage of Carnegie's Hall by May Day.
That goes for anyone who happens to wander into our little studio here.
Even if you believe that you are not musically inclined, you never know
till you try.
