ask_sarpedon sarpedon In the grand tradition of things, in honor of the Schleiffen Man's wonderful source, and in response to silentbob's adventure into this area, I hearby christen ask_sarpedon. Ask me anything, and I'll answer it one way or the other. Hopefully promptly as well, we'll see... I will start by answering (naturally) my first question: ... Do we really need a third 'ask' forum? Probably not. I just think I should be here for a second (third?) opinion. Plus I am part of the schleiffen_plan resistance, and must uphold blather integrity. 000826 ... The Schleiffen Man Dear sarpedon, As a villain and basic anti-schleiffen person, will you give out bad advice and wrong answers as an attempt to wreak havoc on the order brought by the Schleiffen_Plan? Just wondering, Me 000826 ... grendel just dont ask_grendel he'll never give a straight answer just vague metaphors pointless anecdotes and large doses of innuendo i should know it's my head 000827 ... sarpedon Dear Schleiffen Man, I must admit I have considered it, but the truth can, and must be set free. It would not be fair to everyone else if I should give wrong answers. The Schleiffen_Plan has surely brought order, but at what cost? Sincerely, Sarpedon 000827 ... sarpedon Dear Grendel, Do not assume that no one wants to hear your thoughts. In fact, in this place, that's really all that we want to hear. You're vague metaphors allow people to tie them in with their own life, your anecdotes help define who you are, and your innuendo only serves to show that you are a real person. It may be that you think it is only in your head, but in fact we all share the same emotions. Sincerely, Sarpedon 000827 ... silentbob Sarpedon What is your favorite food? Movie? band? song? word? emotion? season? and who is your favorite character from the book 'The Stand?' 000827 ... sarpedon Dear Silentbob, Food: I'm very partial towards a nice bowl of spaghetti. Movie: The Matrix Band: Phish (I'm listening to 7.10.00 right now) Song: Rift (by Phish -- actually the whole album Rift rocks -- it is so much like my mood it is scary) Word: hope -- hope that each new day, things will work out, not having to look back on past losses Emotion: Nothing like being somber, where I reminisce recent conversations I had, but am somehow saddened that things are still not working out. Just to be alone with my thoughts. Season: spring -- every thing begins anew I must admit, I have never read the stand. But my favorite book must be Cryptonomicon. I even thought The Age_of_Innocence was a damn good novel. I apologize for the delay. Signed, me 000902 ... god where's the beef? 030520 what's it to you? who go blather from
