Kewl beans, Moe! I don't think I could meditate to Goa... It makes me want to boogie (The little bird was a spicey person of your aquaintance)... I was just curious; I hardly ever run across anyone who's heard of it b4.

P.S. I'm working on a demo tape right now; when it's done I'll be more than happy to send a copy to anyone that wants it.

The wailing wall of the Jews

by docpalo in

recently some hassidic jew who stands and rocks like a catatonic shizoprhenic at the wailing wall in jerusalem noticed some water stains up near the top of the wall.

immeadiately he summised this to be some holy sign of the messiah.

but the deputy director of public works says that it most likely is a ruptured pipe or drain.

SpiderMonkey

Actually, doc, there's no love lost between myself & *anyone* claiming to be Chosen Ones. And I couldn't agree with you more about the Palestinians and Israelis; I don't care which of them "wins," as long as they don't leave anyone else's soil glowing in the end.

If I misunderstood you, I apologize. I guess this was the statement that got my goat:

They do not worship Yaweh, but instead worship a conglameration of Gods and customs that are man made and Satan based.

As one whose spirituality is constantly being misinterpreted as "Satan based," I don't appreciate this kind of bashing of anyone. Do you really think that modern Jews *think* they're worshipping Satan, or *intentionally* base their worship on anything to do with him? Not that I agree with this "Satan based" accusation, or believe in Satan at all, but whatever *you* believe, at least look at their intent. That's what I meant by intolerant and ignorant. Again, I apologize for this remark; I guess we just disagree :::shrug:::

Souljah, I'm currently living in the South... New Orleans, LA (there is kind of a techno scene here, but it's mostly clubby stuff... gag)... I just moved back here last January, from Portland, OR... I was up there for about 6 years or so... Yeah, I've been to F-8 before; now that you mention it, I think they do have a website! I'll have to do some snooping around.

Prof, that is kewl; I know what you mean about the meth-kiddies. I went to raves in Portland for about 3 years, then started helping some friends who were throwing free parties out in the woods. Now THAT was fun! Get out into the peace & quiet of nature... And then MAKE SOME NOISE

All right, cue Twilight Zone theme. I'm totally amazed!!!

Prof, do you spin?

SoulJah, Gil has some amazing tracks for sure (OK let's be honest, he has ALL the tracks, he is so well connected )... I have to say, though, I'm on the opposite side of the whole "beatmatching vs. ambient mixing" debate... I find it hard to enjoy his sets...

Do y'all have any favorite artists? Come to think of it, it's been about a year since I shopped for "rekkids"... Any suggestions on websites, or who's good these days? Last time I bought new stuff I was a bit disappointed; it all seemed to be going towards the mainstream "club techno" sound... Is Simon Posford (Hallucinogen) still doing his thing? Slinky Wizard? Green Nuns? Cosmosis/MumboJumbo? Digitalis? My inquiring mind wants to know

Is hell hot or cold? (the intellectual challenge!)

by SpiceItUp in

here a bit of intellectual humor for ya!!!.

a thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students.

it had one question: "is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

SpiderMonkey

Or if we accept the postulate given by me to my aunt on the 4th, when she asked me when I will get my hair cut, and take into account that I have no intention of ever doing so, then #2 cannot be true (the Devil has not yet been seen wearing ice skates), and therefore hell is exothermic

SpiderMonkey

Well, heaven forbid that Jehovah's Witnesses should set a woman apart because of her sex! Yeah, you sisters go right ahead & enjoy giving your skit, er, I mean talk, on the Ministry School.

Humor "at God's expense"

by SpiderMonkey in

the local paper ran an article today (from cox news service; you may have seen it already) on the religion page, "god, that's funny!

" it's about some bible "experts" testifying that god does, in fact, have a "funny bone.

" in other words, that it's ok to poke fun at religion in general, or even to tell jokes about god.

The local paper ran an article today (from Cox News Service; you may have seen it already) on the Religion page, "God, that's funny! ...or is it?" It's about some Bible "experts" testifying that God does, in fact, have a "funny bone." In other words, that it's OK to poke fun at religion in general, or even to tell jokes about God. A few of the jokes (paraphrased for brevity &/or clarity):

Jack was coming out of church on Easter, and as usual the pastor was there at the door shaking people's hands. He grabbed Jack & pulled him aside, telling him, "You need to join the army of the Lord, Jack." Jack replied, "I already am, pastor." "Then how come I don't see you, except at Christmas & Easter?" Jack whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

A man trying to understand the nature of God was asking Him some questions. "God, how long is a million years to you?" "A million years to me is like a minute." Then the man asked, "God, how much is a million dollars to you?" "A million dollars to me is like a penny." The man thought for a moment & asked, "God, can I have a penny?" "Sure, in a minute."

Two lifelong friends had a running argument. The black friend argued that God was black, and the white friend argued He was white. The 2 friends had a fatal accident, together, while fishing, & found themselves b4 the Pearly Gates. St. Peter met them, and naturally they asked him to resolve their old argument. So he led them to a waiting room & told them to have a seat; God would be with them shortly. Meanwhile, they continued the argument. Then they heard some loud footsteps coming & turned to *finally* learn the answer; the door swung open & God said "Buenos dias, senores!"

OK, a coupla those punchlines are fairly predictable. So what's YOUR favorite "God" joke?

Ned Flanders is a JW!

by Simon in

just watching the simpsons where homer gets his thumb cut off.

there is a scene where ned is reading a story to one of his kids:.

"so, harry and his friends go straight to hell for practising witchcraft".

SpiderMonkey

I think the funniest Flanders episode was when the Simpson kids were taken away for "child abuse" and given to the Flanders'...

"Wow, Dad, you took a baptismal for me! How do you feel?"
