My apologies to OUTLAW
by onacruse inon a recent thread, i made a bit of fun about outlaw having to eat penguin morning, noon, and night.. as is the way of things, his almost unbelievably super-nasty p/m back to me made me do some research, and lo and behold, i found a plethora of penguin recipes suitable to all but the most sensitive of palates:.
penguin fricassee.
penguin & chips.

in all my years i have never seen the wts respond as vigorously and openly as it did to this event...not even ray franz got this much attention.. as an opener, here is the initial response printed in the wt (this is also a transcript, but .pdf's of the original can be provided as needed):.

Music, the brain, and spirituality?
by onacruse inso, every now and again, i get into a mood where i just want to go out into my "man cave" (read garage), and crank up my stereo and listen to some good hard loud r&b.. tonight, as i was in one of those interludes, a couple of things struck me:.
1) how music makes the brain go "quiet.
" i mean, it's almost impossible to think about things when you're listening to whatever music 'strikes a chord' in you;.

Randy Watters, thank you!
by onacruse inthis may seem like a shameless plug for www.freeminds.org.
but it's not.. randy has been a source of significant information for me (and countless others) over the last decade(s), and very recently sent me (at his expense) some additional information about the wts.. now, one thing i must say is that randy and i do not share the same ideologies about religious perspectives.
but, ya know what?

Well, now THAT was exciting! :o)
by onacruse inwe're in the middle of a little windstorm here (portland, or).
not much of one, really, compared to some of the others i've experienced here.. about 11 p.m. bikerchic and i heard something hit the house, and there was a pretty good thud on the ground.
i thought that it was probably just a big branch, but bikerchic came running in and said: "did you hear that?

The psychology of eschatology
by onacruse inso here's a question: why do some people (and i include myself as a former member of the group) seem so preoccupied with "end-times" issues?.
as a starter, i submit that it's because we are inclined to fight against the inevitability of our own demonstrably limited human existence...and therefore we develop around ourselves "escape mechanisms" to alleviate the pain of termination.. we use numerical calculations, religious speculations, mysterious cosmic forces, evolutionary patterns, etc.
etc.. your thoughts?.

((Swan))
by onacruse init was great talking with you tonight!.
first and foremost, it's very gratifying to know that your hubby is on the heal from his recently diagnosed cancer.
i could hear him in the background, and he certainly sounded like he was in good spirits (even if he is a bit of a raspy old fellow lol).
