It's important to me to carve a poem into the hide of time each 13-lunation cycle ... perhaps, a homeopathic remedy for suicidal ideation.
Often the poem is a long-winded, excessively metaphysical, collage of recursive obscurities
This year's screed emerged in haiku-form:
time was a metal,
then a slurry, then liquid:
now, it's laughing gas

Thanks, 007, I'm so desperate I'll take that as a compliment
Perhaps I can add to your enjoyment of B&B by sharing this information on "Bu's" ancestry and kinfolk: [^].
cheers, Bill

I don't actually enjoy B&B. It literally was the first thing that came to my immature and infantile mind.

Anyone remember what caused him to flee? Was it when he got caught editing Wikipedia to 'support' his fibs, or was it the election loss from a safe seat?

Hi! It's Dave - any messages?

Sorry I'm late!
Thanks for standing in for me!
So... any messages for me?

For those that are confused, it's an annoying drinking game (as in, if you aren't drunk you wouldn't do it).
You pick some phone number and all night people call it asking for Dave. This winds up the poor sod on the other end horribly by about the twentieth call.
Then, late at night comes the final call "Hi! It's Dave - any messages for me?"
Followed by swearing, screaming, or general apoplexy.

I was thinking of the movie, "Up In Smoke." Chong calls up a house and says, "it's me, Dave." Cheech replies, "Dave's not here man," and it continues on from there.

I wonder how many here are old enough for that reference?
:raises hand:
Yep, I'm one of them.
:edit:
Based on the results of this weeks survey, most of us would probably get that reference.

Some people say Latin is a dead language. But I know it's still Roman around.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah but before you invest the time in learning it, be aware that you won't be able to use it to converse with a lot of people.
So, caveat emptor.

I went to the dentist a while back, and he filled my caveats.
