Emily, "I'm having an emotion". No, it wasn't KB I heard say that, although you might be forgiven for thinking it was. I heard a young woman say it, some years back, and I'm thinking it would make a great title for the upcoming *feelings* manual we're planning for KB. I'm also thinking; I should not be such a fun hog, and assume I'm the best suited to develop the "manual"; as entertaining as it is, winding KB up, like a cheap Chinese watch (current synonym for "pushing buttons", a.k.a. winding up---if you're on the receiving end, appears to be *rag*), fair is fair, and many of my fellow FFL posters have had the pleasure of receiving Barry's film reviews much longer than I have, and therefore, I believe, the project calls for a *competitive tender*, and to keep things on a professional basis (can't forget: "The Corrupt Practices Act"), we should begin with a prequalification process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqoj4zJ3OIs&feature=fvsr I fully understand your maternal concern that KB's recent sniveling is starting to sound more like whining, which may soon lead to something that could embarrass all of us; so I promise, the first time I get the urge to change KB to CB I'll stop picking on him, and switch to some engineering stories (I'll include some working titles below, to prove my sincerity). But I must alert you to a potential danger for your commendable motherly instincts; one of the pitfalls of circular firing squads, like the good KB's, are that they seem to be overly cooperative when you ask them to line up, single file, in a tight formation, and thereby assist yours truly in conserving ammunition. I'm just suggesting you show a little caution if KB asks you to stand behind him (or in front, for that matter); just today I read one of his squad members inform us that he is 52 (still pondering that factoid), and then threaten *My Ravi Yogi* with some Buddhist thugs (a word the Brits swiped from India) from Fox News, and not to forget today's show stopper from the Menza applicant stating she preferred Madonna to LG, but did not like to watch her dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixljWVyPby0 For the pre-qualification, which is open to everyone, I propose bidders submit ten questions / statements, and/or topics that should be included in the scope of work of the tender. 1. When you ask someone if you: "knew them, back in the day", and they ignore you, are they trying to tell you something? 2. If you don't understand irony, should you email one of your shrinking circle (circular firing squads will do that to populations) of FFL friends before embarrassing yourself? 3. Is every thought that comes into your head is not an *idea*? 4. When is typing typing or a cigar is a cigar? 5. Before you state that you're more creative than the author of "In Cold Blood" should you check with someone who has read something more than the "Dharma Bums" to see how saying that will sound to everyone (except the Madonna lady of course)? 6. Stop threatening to stop posting on FFL, its OK---we understand, we're all you have. 7. Writing about other people’s creativity is generally not considered creative, particularly if you’re boring the hell out of your audience. 8. Most people, over eleven, know what's up when someone compulsively tailgates rather than engages in exchanges, for example; when someone mentions psychedelics, don't say you met one of Tim's girl friends (its not the same thing), when someone mentions flying, don't say you managed it, but got stiffed on the price (makes you look naive), when someone says the speed of light might be different than we were told, don't say you peed on Einstein’s pants 106 years ago (makes it look like you can't count), when someone mentions Hollywood, don't say you lived in Malibu with some screenwriters (makes it look like you're too big a loser to own your own place in Malibu); better to stop typing and notice the waitress is hoping you'll move on. 9. It's OK to admit you read and reread Judy's emails, to be able to keep up with her; nothing to be ashamed of, having no life is like that. 10. Rama was the last daddy you'll ever have; if MZ wanted children I'm sure he'd aim higher than the leftovers from a guy who offed himself, rather than face prison. In case this makes him cry, here are the promised working titles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUKLr5C19Bg&feature=related 1. Arguing with spiders in Brunei. 2. Hand gliding a Sharjah storm front; hailstones as big as cantaloupes. 3. Kurds, Beirut, and Hollywood squares. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjGpcEA-FyE ________________________________ From: turquoiseb <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 2:40:07 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: For Fanboy Robin (Bob) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: > > What's goin' on Bob?

And who obviously don't care what he thinks of them, if they even bother to read it. :-) > We want to hear from you Bob. How's it going from your > authentic self. Have you considered the possibility that he has none? Think about it. How much do *any* of the folks who seem to live to rag on me and Vaj and Sal *ever* have to say, except when they're doing the ragging rag? I guess what I'm suggesting is the same thing you seem to be suggesting above -- that there is a possibility that they don't actually *have* anything to say when they're not playing "Gotcha." It's just a suggestion. There is a simple way to prove it wrong, whether the suggestion comes from me, or from you, or from anyone else. But that would involve any of them saying something new, or original. I'm betting that isn't going to happen because the capacity for doing it simply isn't there.
