Teenage Jesus It is beginning to seem as if none of you have, or even know what is, SLACK. If you got down with the IZ-ness of the BIZ-ness, you would KNOW that, as kx puts it, the_currency_of_life or COL is SLACK. Now I won't try to fool you (that's your own job) but not everyone can get their hands on it or their whiffs around it- but when/if you do/can...I tell `ya. You'll know it. AND you'll know how to keep it. Then you can coast your way up the ladder, or fall to the top, or however high you want to go. wu wei 010809 ... The Truth LITTLE GIRL: "Look Mommy!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Phew! I feel better now. 010809 ... Teenage Jesus Whoa Nellie! Let me assure you that you needn't be concerned about what slack is or why you will never get any. For slack must come to you in a glorious way- and when you press the luck plane as you incessantly do- you can give it up. Further, by the authority invested in my by ***, I cast you out- false prophet! Speak not of slack pink one! Get thee behind me, for you are loathsome to me. You are now a non-entity- fool not anyone with your LIES. Positive? You were never positive- and now you are cast down. When you die, your tiny soul will be grey and seek the protection of other greys-- but of course, that ain't my fault. So let it be written, so let it be done. 010809 ... :..S e e d S.:...o f...:.L i g h T..: Listen. 010809 ... :..S e e d S.:...o f...:.L i g h T..: JUDGE_NOT_LEST_YOU_YOURSELF_BE_JUDGED 010809 ... The entire world speaking in unison WOW, somebody had there SUPER-SIZED psycho juice for breakfast today! Truth, don't listen to him... nobody ever takes him seriously anyway, I agree with most of the things you say, and the stuff I don't agree with is usually because I don't really understand it but that's ok cuz I don't really care about phyisics and theroretical stuff like that. I don't say much, I mostly read peoples blathers but I felt like I had to intervene here. Keep on infecting us with this contagious disease called love. I feel ya, bro. 010809 ... Teenage Jesus That's my breakfast everyday. AND- where is the "love" in "I don't know anything about what you are talking about, so therfore it is ridiculous"!?! All it amounts to is the all too familiar obtuse christian rejection of anything that doesn't fit the dogma. SLACK is closely related to Taoism; so I guess it might as well have come from the devil himself- eh? As indicated elsewhere, the hypocritical bullshit that "truth" spews is really freaking unbelievable. Take a look around for yourself. The contradictions are all over the place. Positivity is not a commodity to be horded; you can't corner the market on it. I defy you to just let go. I knew you couldn't do it. (and if you manage to; watch out- that's a little Taoism creeping in; oops.) 010810 ... kx21 Somehow related to Cliton? 010810 ... kx21 oop...Clinton 010810 ... kx21 clinton!!! 010810 ... The Truth What's wrong with taoism? I am sorry I offended you because I don't know what something is. I could pretend that I know what slack is if you'd rather. You are a very sensitive person. I said it was meant to be taken humourously. But I know what this is really about... Don't I? 010810 ... Teenage Jesus Forgive my lack of comprehension. I guess I just forgot it's perfectly polite and loving and open-minded to call someone a liar. "truth" is such a positive well meaning individual; I don't know what came over me- how could someone so forthright and all-knowing be anything but uplifting and supportive... Seriously, just cram it and leave me alone- I've got some "evil" I'd like to attend to... 010810 ... The Truth I am sorry for pointing out your misquotation. I'll let kx21 defend his own copyrighted material here from now on. Thank you for your encouraging words of eloquence, I hope I am not being a further nuisance you your SLACK campaign. Best wishes. 010810 ... Teenage Jesus just for the record the only kx quote was the "COL" part; not what it is. I've no SLACK campaigne- it finds it's own way without any help from me. I'm sure you're probably a nice person- but you really do come off as a freaking "i have all the answers" type of person. You don't. It's arrogant to present yourself in such a way that indicates that you do. AND it is hypocritical to claim that there is too much negativity around (which I agree with by the way) and then be a freaking attack dog yourself. Pick a persona; or as my friend Mark used to say, get your lie straight. 010810 ... The Truth I always found it better to not lie instead. 010810 ... Teenage Jesus you'd better phone the fire department or sit in a bucket of water or something b/c your pants are ablaze... and now - I wash my hands of you as I am of to Destin for some golf, fishing, and beach action tah 010810 ... The Truth ok...so we are back to my words making you "wretch" again? (speaking of attacks as if they were not provoked.) Now, how many times are you going to "wash your hands of me?" I keep waiting for you to follow through on your commitments, but I have yet to be so entertained. Look, I was only joking to begin with, you over reacted, I could easily thrash you with a pyschological spanking that you'd never forget so that you learn your lesson, but that won't solve anything it would just embarass and humiliate you, plus I would look like a jerk, and no body wins. The only way to deal with this is to turn away. I will not respond to anymore of your antagonistic efforts, so try if you want to. Just remember, you can't erase them later, and you may regret what you do and say. 010810 ... irritated blatherskites unite enough of this shit! take it over to blathderduel and get it over with. 010810 ... irritated blatherskites unite blatherduel. sorry. typo. 010810 ... Teenage Jesus It was never my intention to antagonize you. I simply wanted you to face the fact that you really are quite hypocritical AND arrogant. That's it. Believe me, you don't need any help from me to look like a jerk. I'm off to Florida tomorrow- and if you desire - I will happily meet you in blatherduel. You are in for a very big surprise Nathan. I advise that you quit now, while you're behind. Good Day sir. 010810 ... Teenage Jesus ...I'll be back 8/20/01. Let me know which course you'd like to persue. 010810 ... black-dyed gel product Hey Teenage Jesus, with all this slack talk, are you trying to make an allusion to that stupid Church of the SubGenius? That was the most worthless piece of crap I ever read. At least that guy was selling a metal bust of his head; that was pretty funny. 010810 what's it to you? who go blather from
