Clearly that doesn't work in reverse for you: sticking your nose in Judy's business doesn't appear to make you lonely or insecure. Do you get the same result when you stick your nose in God's business Listen here God, don't give me none of that It IS crap. This (whatever) should not be. I will not accept it. If I believed in a God, I am certain that I would have had such conversations with He/She/It. I know I am God because when I pray to him I find I'm talking to myself. - Peter Barnes I am only interested because I am sticking to my own business in trying to figure out what path I want to follow: keeping my nose in my business or sticking it both in other's and God's business. You seem to be doing pretty well doing the latter so I wanted to be clearer on the benefits. Point taken. Thanks. And what the hell is Byron Katie sticking her nose in my business for? Now *that's* funny! And does God only keep her nose in her business? Or does she put it in others' business? A good question, but one that I think is more appropriate for the Intelligent Design thread. If you get a nose job, does it lessen your ability to stick your nose in others' business? Another good question. Based solely on anecdotal experience with women whose lessened probosci seemed to have no effect on their sticking abilities, I would have to guess No. And what are those Nosers of Reality all about? I think Douglas Adams wrote about them in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Viltvodle VI is the home world of the small, blue, fifty-armed Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of what they refer to as The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief. This is their cosmology's version of the end of the Universe, and can be explained by the fact that they believe that the Universe was sneezed out by a creature called the Great Green Arkleseizure. Obviously, Nosers of Reality are those who believe in the religion of Viltvodle VI. They would not be caught dead getting a nose job because that would be considered defacing an image of God, and thus a mortal sin. I think Socrates nailed it when he said nose thyself. And look what happened to him. A hemlock margarita. But as I always say, what my girl friend doesn't nose won't hurt her. Did you know that what Johnny Depp wanted to do with his character of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates movie was to have a blue nose? As he imagined it, Jack had had his nose cut off in a fight and then sewn back on. Unfortunately, the circulation was never fully restored, and as a result, Jack's nose was blue. Suffice it to say that Disney Studios was not as amused by this idea as I was, because the idea never made it to the screen. Reveal thy wisdom unto me. I wants to nose. O nobly born, thy question is worthy, and I shall expound upon it. Some teachers have said that the eyes are the window to the soul. I say that this is not true. The NOSE is the window to the soul. Is not the breath -- holy prana -- more subtle and refined that mere sight? Do you perform holy pranayama by poking your fingers in your eyes? (You don't have to answer that...it's not that kind of teaching.) Anyway, the nose is where it's at. If you want to know someone's soul, you have to look up their nose. Practice this simple exercise at home tonight, Grasshopper. Prepare a lovely candlelight dinner for your girlfriend, put on some soothing music, and tell her that you really want to know her soul. Then proceed to stare up her nose while performing pranayama on your own. Continue until enlightened or flattened by a good left hook. Thank you for consulting the Oracle.

Shakespeare is just miraculous, inexplicable, a rishi wandering around in Elizabethan England writing those plays as popular entertainment for the *masses*. Sitcoms, murder mysteries, tragedies, docudramas, romances, churning 'em out. Including crowd-pleasers like this: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player Who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more.
