Kush, beware the fickle finger of fate
I too have been elevated by her royal pedestalness.



"Hi Byron~

What sagacity and wit from a true 'Gentleman and Scholar'! Brilliantly put, and eminently quotable."


Alas no more. My crime? I spoke my mind which was not in accord with percieved truths.

Remember, there are nineteen versions of the truth. "White Swans"
You too shall pass.

Ciao Byron,

Do not despair! Lizzytysh will be your friend again. She does not stay angry long. Extend the olive branch to her. Lizzytysh will forgive you for not agreeing with her percieved truths. She is great that way.

Vesuvius

Ves~

(You haven't been taking lessons from Heretic, have you? )

When it's good, it's good; when it's crap it's crap, simple really.

Actually I think Byron's quote is attributable to Makera. You might be confused as she uses "~" as does Lizzie.

I surprised Makera didn't correct the assumption.

Paula wins the free muffin.

"When it's good, it's good; when it's crap it's crap, simple really."

Oh how true those words are.

Vesuvius, you too should beware the fickle finger of fate, especially when its your own, and its pointed straight up your own ***e (English spelling and pronunciation used here)

Byron, (I do not say Ciao)

You are not a gentle man. You are too free with the ugly words. The words that dare not speak their name.


Vesuvius

Vesuvius, thank you for your thoughts and consideration. I too have always had cats from when I was a very young child. Some lived to a ripe old age. Caring for and maintaining the health of a pet is an excellent lesson for later life. We see the differences in animals which helps us to see the differences in people as we get older. The loss of any pet is a hard lesson to learn. I doubt that there is anyone in the forum who cannot empathise with your feelings at the loss of Caesar.
Why bring such matters into this thread? Simply to illustrate that what we all say and do is not confined to certain boxes, or kept under certain labels. Life doesn't work like that. I wanted you to know that I am still appreciative of your feelings in one thread whilst discussing other matters in another. Ideas, feelings, thoughts, etc., do not live in a vacuum.
Byron 'sends his regards.'

A wonderfully a`propos quote from a late, great friend comes to mind:
"Oh, he is just so far 'up himself', he may as well go the rest of the way, and disappear!"
'Anima possession' is an "ugly" thing to see, isn't it.

Paula, is that a sense of irony emerging, or just obtuseness?

~Makera

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.......................snore.....zzzzzz.........

Makera, until now you have not crossed the line between humour and bad taste. Until now!
It is my personal opinion that you have now been hoisted by your own petard on two seperate occasions, and like Albert, who is unable to see straight, and has been well and truly stuffed, you too are experiencing difficulties.
Albert brings some light relief to others on this board. But, right now I'm holding a potato-firing, spring-loaded, toy weapon to Albert's tummy button. One more nasty, uncouth reaction from you, and the bear gets it!!!!
Teddy bears have feelings too.

Byron, "petard"!? Who is being "uncouth" and in "bad taste" - in such an insidious and under-handed way? And blaming (projecting via) the 'bear' too, tsk tsk.
Ah, where is Maitre Jean with his culverin when I need him.....
Now, there was a man with a real sense of humour!

Au revoir,

Makera

Mareka I'm sorry I must have missed a point somewhere along the line. In what way do you think I am being ironic or obtuse?

Paula~
Vesuvius knew exactly what he was saying; why do you think I found it so funny? I always appreciate irony, from any source.

~Makera

Oh silly me I didn't realise Vesuvius was being ironic.

Were your previous threads on this post ironic I struggle sometimes to tell truth from fiction, maybe you have the same problem, and as you love irony so much I suppose they must be.

Hilarious

I am not surprised that Margaret knew the poem instantly, she is what I would picture a true Leonard Cohen fan to be. Her posts are kind, and considerate. Recently, because she knows I am a fairly new fan of LCs, she e-mailed me to say there was a book of his poetry on ebay going reasonably that I might be interested in purchasing to become more familar with his work. Very nice of her.

Hannah from Poland is another fan LC can be proud of. She is also very modest, considerate, kind and knowledgeable. She has done much to promote LC for me.
