lol - Reminds me of those lyrics from the Patty Duke Show song: 
"Where Cathy adores a minuet, The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
 Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
 A hot dog makes her lose control --
 What a wild duet!"
 
-- I really wonder if those lyricists and comic book writers, had a clue...

 Isn't it fascinating how both of them claim to be laughing, but *they* are the

No, he isn't a castrato. They stopped doing that over a century ago, thank 
goodness. Modern countertenors use falsetto, whereas castrati used their 
natural voices, which simply hadn't developed, since they were castrated before 
their voices changed. Jaroussky has a very natural-sounding falsetto in the 
soprano range, which is quite rare. Most countertenors are in the alto or mezzo 
range. Beaufiul voice, superb musician.

Not sure if you're counting yourself as a TMer or not, but it looks to
me like you're outnumbered on this list. So, I'd say that probably 75%
of the informants on FFL are still TMers, if by that you mean still
meditate. I'd say that 95% of the lurkers are TMers. Go figure.

According to what I've read, Moscow is first and foremost concerned

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Stella's at it again

I had to look that one up - this is quite the Scorpionland culture!

Glasgow Kiss

It usually occurs when someone usually English or from Edinburgh annoys the 
indigenous Glaswegian. The indigenous Glaswegian will take offence at 
Englander/Edinbugger and swiftly head butt (Kiss) him usually causing the 
minimum damage of a broken nose, in some extreme cases a Glasgow Kiss has been 
fatal but for it to be that lethal the recipient has to be an ultra-effeminate 
Bag of Shite and from Kent, England.

Not to be confused with a Dundee kiss which usually ends up with the male 
recipient shacking up with a bleach blonde, 300 pound, mountainous single 
mother of 6 Dundonian with a Bucket Minge who will happily provide any Sexually 
Transmitted Disease or illegal narcotic whether the male wants them or not as 
well as ballooning to 350 pounds during pregnancy with mewling cabbage number 
7, Although she will be only around 21 years of age when giving birth to her 
7th mutant Ned.

Nice idea, but for a start I doubt you've got enough to make a difference to 
Europe and Ukraine as well as yourselves. And besides, all gas and oil has to 
be sold on an open market, over here anyway. Russia could go to the UN and 
complain about protectionism. None of it is worth fighting a war over, Russia 
has enough other countries they sell to in it's trading bloc, they'd weather

 We'd better just hope all he wants is Crimea to protect the 60% Russians

get from Putin. Ukraine will do what he wants or he'll switch the gas off like 
he did to Belarus a few years ago. We should have built loads more windmills

The TMers seem to be doing really well - from what I've read, one gal 
has her own successful business at home; another gal has a ranch with 
horses up in Canada; one guy has his own farm in Iowa now and one gal 
has a condo in Fairfield; another guy has a deck on his house where he 
can sit a enjoy a SF view. Apparently one TMer on this list owns a lot

But, the ones that quit the TM program don't seem to have going: one guy

cafeteria - now he's fixing computers out of his garage to pay the rent; 
another guy is writing science articles he cribs off the internet for a

It's more likely that some members of the Russian Illuminati are trying to 
protect their financial interests in the Ukraine.  So, they secretly lobbied 
the Russian Parliament to approve the attack.  Putin himself is probably a 
secret member of the Illuminati since he was the one who proposed the invasion.

And the American members of the Illuminati would probably approve the invasion 
in consideration of the investments involved.  So, more likely there will be no 
war over this financial transaction.

I know some of them, they are the most sincere and at the same time the most 
chilling people to be around - definitely people who need to live next to a 
Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge so they can be changed by the vibes - if you 
believe in that sort of thing. 

Interestingly folks of that type were reaaaly into the Lord of the Rings 
movies. I know a man, TM initiator, whose sister is a fundamentalist Christian 
who is of that stripe and she tried to get everyone in her family to go see the 
Two Towers and the Return of the King, especially.

When they were all sitting in the theater during one of the big battle scenes 
his sister whispered "See? This is what Armageddon is going to be like!"

My initiator friend said his sister was watching the screen like Jay-sus 
himself was on it.

I think Obama knew this was coming. He made that comment to make the Russians
think about their next move. Now that the Russians called his bluff, Obama
will likely pursue the diplomatic route and protest at the UN.

However, you're right in saying that the US can't afford another war. I don't
believe Obama is foolish enough to fight the Russians. Also, the US does not
really have any direct interest to protect in the Ukraine.

Let's wait and see how this scenario plays out.

Re: [FairfieldLife] In Media Res: a TV series season opener review

I won't be reading this because I will be watching "Hannibal" tonight on 
Hulu+.  But I was going to mention yesterday that the second season 
started last night and that I almost rented the BD of "Machete Kills" 
for the evening but decided on watching a couple more episodes of "The 
Returned" on Netflix.


In the US these days even if people still have TV via cable or satellite 
(or even OTA) they tend to watch the next day especially if the show is 
at 10 PM.  This way they can skip commercials using the DVR which is 
something I miss though Hulu only has about 1 minute spots and I just 
hit the mute button during them.  If I really wanted to see a show 
"almost live" I would wait 15 minutes and then watch it on the DVR so I 
could still skip ads.

of what we eat.

Guest:Well, I almost feel guilty about eating it.
Host:I never feel guilty eating anything.
Guest:H...I can't quite place the fish...

This would have been a cool "season opener" in itself, and a very 
funny one, given that the host in this scene is Dr. Hannibal Lecter, 
and you can't always tell what he'll be serving with the Chianti.


But what makes this scene more powerful is that it wasn't the first 
scene. It was the second. The first was a type of flashforward known 
as In Media Res, a technique that dates at least back to Homer, and 
was discussed by Aristotle.


http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InMediasRes

In the first scene, we're in the same kitchen, and a similarly elegant 
dinner is being prepared for the same guest by the same host. The host 
uses the same precision with his knife as he slices the main course, 
but doesn't get to the presentation stage because then his guest 
enters the room, they exchange glances, each of them seemingly 
realizing the same thing at the same time, and all hell breaks loose. 
[Detail deleted not for spoiler reasons -- since you're going to see 
it first-thing anyway -- but as a form of kaiseki for those who have 
not yet savored this episode yet. ]The screen goes black, and a title 
appears, saying "Twelve weeks earlier." Then we see the scene I 
describe above.


Very effective. It worked for Homer, in "The Iliad," it worked for 
"Breaking Bad," and it works for the season opener of "Hannibal." 
Something is going to happen during that twelve weeks (coincidentally 
enough the length of the season) that explains to us how the dinner 
scene we see second morphs into the one we saw first.


The third and forth scenes take an opposite -- or perhaps the same -- 
structure. In scene three we see Will Graham, FBI profiler whose job 
it is to catch serial killers by literally "getting into their heads," 
during his rare off-work moments. He's standing in a river in his 
waders, fly-fishing. He looks up, and on the bank of the river he sees 
a magnificent deer. We see the awe and reverence on his face as Will 
gazes at the deer. Cut to scene four, and the same face, staring at us 
from behind bars. Will is now in jail, charged with being the very 
serial killer he is chasing.


So is scene three a flashback to the past, or a flashforward to the 
future? Guess we'll have to watch twelve weeks of television to find out.


Since this was one of the best 40 minutes of television I've seen in a 
long time, I see no problem with that...  :-)

My account is maintained by Yahoo Mail but I just use an email client 
and no, YouTube links just show as links in Thunderbird.

I stopped watching "Fringe" after about the third season.  I hate 
watching shows that string you along just so the production company can 
get a paycheck.  It's TV and writers will take poetic license.  On one 
of my TV hangouts folks go on ad nausea over shows that aren't realistic 
enough.

I prefer the European trend of having fewer episodes for a season and 
all of them rich.  The only exception seems to be the X-Files alumni who 
know how to show run.  That of course includes, Vince Gilligan 
("Breaking Bad") and the late Kim Manners ("Supernatural").  The latter 
show just got a renewal.  It was a favorite of my tantric guru because 
they actually had some tantric rituals in it.  It also doesn't take 
itself seriously.  The show is in it's 9th season.  A couple episodes 
back they even did a show around a "Fargo" theme complete with a "you 
becha" woman sheriff.

BTW, Bhairitu could you help me out on the FRINGE.  I just
don't understand why Peter Bishop hops onto the Machine to
heal both the universes, and then steps out and disappears
out of the timeline.

He later "leaks" back into the universe and finds himself
forgotten. The storyline borders on the absurd.  The two
Walter Bishops couldn't help him, nor they can understand
how he could reappear.  Considering their massive IQ, how
so?

William Bell dies in the original timeline, only to reappear
in the second timeline in a slightly different persona.

A bit shoddy I think. I still haven't read any reviews of it
yet.

There will be "costs" if the Russians send in military troops into the

Didn't Jesus criticize Judas for complaining when a woman poured expensive

given to the poor" exclaimed Judas. "Please", Jesus said, "the poor will always 
be with you".  Maybe the pope can build on what Judas was trying to teach his

The term 'cult' used on FFL is just another term for trolling - the term

at one time was part of a cult. Go figure. There are at least eight

does not have a classification for cults in its legal system. From what 
I've read, no one has as yet been able to define 'cult' in any

'brainwashing' or 'mind control' using coercion has almost been totally 
discredited.

A. strike up a conversation with him, to see if he was actually capable of

 Yes, okay, you caught me. I am actually sobbing, weeping uncontrollably. I 
admit it. I never laughed at you , Bawwy. I am sorry that I lied, despicably. I 
am mortified that I should have been proven to be lying all this time about my 
responses to you. You are right, you have been (W)right all along and now that 
you have outed me I humbly ask your forgiveness. In addition, I ask that you 
not spread the truth about my participation as a current cult member of 
Robin's. I beg that you don't make me say "I'm sorry". I am on my knees 
pleading that you don't remind me how unjustifiably hateful I have been toward 
you, you of all people who demonstrate such equanimity and balanced views here 
at or little place we call "home" here on the internet. Forgive me, I have 
sinned. Bawwy, I am so, so ashamed. Now excuse me, I need to go get Robin's

her because there'll be hell to pay if I'm late.

on Ann's part, because I *don't* argue. I think -- and have said often -- that 
I think arguing is idiotic, and I don't indulge in it. I allow the idiots to do 
so. 
*Ann* argues. *Judy* argues. Both of them seem to *live* to argue. 

What this stalking of me is all about is that I *fail* to argue with them. They 
try their best to get me to do so, because it's the only the way they know to 
get what they both desperately seek -- attention. When I don't, they interpret 
this as rejection (which it is), and then go crazy. 
 

 Need I point out that this is Robin Carlsen's act that they are mimicking? I'm

 Perhaps you'll find why this place is shunned in these kind of cynical posts, 
this example from the Turq:

 "I can't imagine a better personification of what Nabby (and of course 
Maharishi) felt was the definition of "charity" or "selfless service." Bid 
against other people to spend time with a fave band, the money going to the DLF 
(and Maharishi's relatives), and you're cool. Not to mention the belief that 
having the money to bid with makes you one of the "elite," more highly evolved 
than others, and thus more worthy of respect. "

So, how would you be knowing if they are "Robin Carlsen cultists" if 
you're not reading their messages? Come to think of it, why are you here 
if you are not reading the messages? You are supposed to read the 
messages BEFORE you post your relpies. Go figure. And, why would it 
bother you if anyone was a Robin Carlsen cultist or not? We've got MMY 
and Rama and Creme and Ma cultists on FFL, so why not a Robin cult? What 
is a cult anyway?

B. I wouldn't want to create a disturbance, so I'd stay as far away from him as 
possible. I can't imagine what we'd be doing at the same party, though. 

 Pop Quiz. Just out of curiosity, what would you do if you were actually at a 
party, in the same room with Barry? After so many years of responding to him 
on-line, would you be inclined, to: 
A. strike up a conversation with him, to see if he was actually capable of 
having one
B. ignore him, except to track his movements around the room
C. toss a drink in his face, and call him an asshole
D. get someone else to toss a drink in his face
E. give him a warm hug, and tell him how wonderful it is, to finally meet him
F. steal his wallet, as payback
G. all of the above
H. none of the above

You did not shun the place. Identification with the symbols we have in our 
heads for reality is a hard habit to break. Keep meditating Nabby, and maybe 
someday the dawn will come (though of course it is not really a dawn). If you 
want to think more clearly, I would keep my distance from Mr. Creme. But do 
keep meditating.

Re: [FairfieldLife] The Master Plan?

WOW -- I had no idea about his musical progress, since he was with that back-up 
band, Jethro Tull ("Hey, which one is Jethro Tull??"). They were excellent, but 
he is a real force of nature. I recognized his flute tone, rhythm, and style, 
immediately, though I really like his vocals, too. Thanks for sharing this - 
Perhaps your answer, to what is faster for enlightenment.:-)

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Why only 34 souls posted posted on FFL last week

Context, Share, context. If a think tank or a census wants to report in that 
way, that is one thing - they are, in fact, large, impersonal, organizations, 
but, when a human being starts writing that way, it is a little too CC-ish for 
me; the clarity of the intellect, seducing the underdeveloped heart.

 Not a good argument:
 

 If you look at the number of posters since the beginning of the year, as 
measured on Saturday (the final post count for the week), you can see that the 
number of posters has been steady, and though not statisitcally significant, 34 
is higher than the average of 33.11 posters over this period. So we have an up 
tick at the end of the first two months of 2014. Barry got you. You did not

BTW, Bhairitu could you help me out on the FRINGE.  I just

out of the timeline.

He later "leaks" back into the universe and finds himself 
forgotten. The storyline borders on the absurd.  The two 
Walter Bishops couldn't help him, nor they can understand 
how he could reappear.  Considering their massive IQ, how 
so?

William Bell dies in the original timeline, only to reappear

A bit shoddy I think. I still haven't read any reviews of it

elegant dinner is being prepared by an impeccably-dressed host. We see the 
host's knife slicing the raw main dish, and then arranging it into a 
presentation that can legitimately be called art. He walks across the room and 
serves it to his guest, who is seated at the dining table, and they exchange 
words. 

Host: This course is called ryukozuki -- seasonal sashimi, sea urchin, water 
clam, and squid. 
Guest: What a beautiful presentation, Doctor. 
Host: Kaiseki - a Japanese artform that honors the taste and aesthetic of what 
we eat. 
Guest: Well, I almost feel guilty about eating it. 
Host: I never feel guilty eating anything. 
Guest: H...I can't quite place the fish...

This would have been a cool "season opener" in itself, and a very funny one, 
given that the host in this scene is Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and you can't always 
tell what he'll be serving with the Chianti.

But what makes this scene more powerful is that it wasn't the first scene. It 
was the second. The first was a type of flashforward known as In Media Res, a 
technique that dates at least back to Homer, and was discussed by Aristotle.

In the first scene, we're in the same kitchen, and a similarly elegant dinner 
is being prepared for the same guest by the same host. The host uses the same 
precision with his knife as he slices the main course, but doesn't get to the 
presentation stage because then his guest enters the room, they exchange 
glances, each of them seemingly realizing the same thing at the same time, and 
all hell breaks loose. [ Detail deleted not for spoiler reasons -- since you're 
going to see it first-thing anyway -- but as a form of kaiseki for those who 
have not yet savored this episode yet. ] The screen goes black, and a title 
appears, saying "Twelve weeks earlier." Then we see the scene I describe above. 

Very effective. It worked for Homer, in "The Iliad," it worked for "Breaking 
Bad," and it works for the season opener of "Hannibal." Something is going to 
happen during that twelve weeks (coincidentally enough the length of the 
season) that explains to us how the dinner scene we see second morphs into the 
one we saw first. 

The third and forth scenes take an opposite -- or perhaps the same -- 
structure. In scene three we see Will Graham, FBI profiler whose job it is to 
catch serial killers by literally "getting into their heads," during his rare 
off-work moments. He's standing in a river in his waders, fly-fishing. He looks 
up, and on the bank of the river he sees a magnificent deer. We see the awe and 
reverence on his face as Will gazes at the deer. Cut to scene four, and the 
same face, staring at us from behind bars. Will is now in jail, charged with 
being the very serial killer he is chasing. 

So is scene three a flashback to the past, or a flashforward to the future? 
Guess we'll have to watch twelve weeks of television to find out.  

Since this was one of the best 40 minutes of television I've seen in a long 
time, I see no problem with that...  :-)

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Why only 34 souls posted posted on FFL last week

Says Barry, arguing with us. ;-) 

 Say, Barry, how come you're paying Ann and me so much attention this morning?
 

 (See what I mean about his not being able to come up with any new insults? At 
this point he's just using the old ones over and over--and they were flabby to 
start with.)
 

 Just because *someone* should do it, let's focus on another claim in this 
latest rant, the word "argumentative" I've highlighted below. As anyone who has 
been following the traffic on this site should know, this is total projection 
on Ann's part, because I *don't* argue. I think -- and have said often -- that 
I think arguing is idiotic, and I don't indulge in it. I allow the idiots to do 
so. 
*Ann* argues. *Judy* argues. Both of them seem to *live* to argue. 

What this stalking of me is all about is that I *fail* to argue with them. They 
try their best to get me to do so, because it's the only the way they know to 
get what they both desperately seek -- attention. When I don't, they interpret 
this as rejection (which it is), and then go crazy. 
 

 Need I point out that this is Robin Carlsen's act that they are mimicking? I'm 
expecting them to start writing 5,000-word diatribes like his any day now.

50-50 right and left hemisphere of brain function. His evident pride showing

he takes himself as seriously as he does. Thank God I can at least get an

 Not a good argument: 

 If you look at the number of posters since the beginning of the year, as 
measured on Saturday (the final post count for the week), you can see that the 
number of posters has been steady, and though not statisitcally significant, 34 
is higher than the average of 33.11 posters over this period. So we have an up 
tick at the end of the first two months of 2014. Barry got you. You did not 
shun the place. Identification with the symbols we have in our heads for 
reality is a hard habit to break. Keep meditating Nabby, and maybe someday the 
dawn will come (though of course it is not really a dawn). If you want to think 
more clearly, I would keep my distance from Mr. Creme. But do keep meditating.

 Perhaps you'll find why this place is shunned in these kind of cynical posts, 
this example from the Turq:

 "I can't imagine a better personification of what Nabby (and of course 
Maharishi) felt was the definition of "charity" or "selfless service." Bid 
against other people to spend time with a fave band, the money going to the DLF 
(and Maharishi's relatives), and you're cool. Not to mention the belief that 
having the money to bid with makes you one of the "elite," more highly evolved 
than others, and thus more worthy of respect. "

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Why only 34 souls posted posted on FFL last week

See what I mean about how easy it is to push his buttons these days? It's 
finally dawning on him that he just doesn't have it any more, and that the two 
people he most wants to intimidate think he's a bad joke. He can't even come up 
with any new insults, and the old ones are long past their sell-by date. Plus 
which, he's thoroughly trashed his own longstanding boast that he doesn't read 
Ann's and my posts. Worst of all, the only person who will defend him is older 
than he is. 

 It almost seems cruel to make fun of him, he's so pathetic. But as my sister 
used to say, he's buttered his own bread, now he gets to lie in it. ;-)
 

 Yup, sure seems like these two are "laughing," eh?  :-)  :-)  :-) 

 Isn't it fascinating how both of them claim to be laughing, but *they* are the 
ones getting their buttons pushed over a post that *didn't even mention them*, 
and then spewing vitriol. Does anyone suspect that it might have a little to do 
with someone outing them as the Robin Carlsen cultists they are?  :-)

Doc, I guess along with the alien Lizards, there are lots of carbon based 
Trekkies inhabiting Earth because I did a google search on average number 
children and saw all sorts of similar numbers:
Albania 1.49 children
Afghanistan 5.54 children

and from the 2000 census
average family is 3.14 persons with .90 children

and from some think tank, fertility rates
West Bank 2.91
Gaza 4.41

I think they are simply paying attention, especially when we say: Go figure!
