Off Topic

Why did Dan never think of you as the new zenspace owner?

He probably did & then realised zenspace had given him a complete breakdown

Owners should never drive the bus or affirm any direction and moderaters can only functionally be of service when sitting in the back

I never saw anyone who didn't have a "heart of gold", even the most demonic deluded minds do.

Off topic, but Neil Young sings a good song about it, included on his "Harvest" LP record album released February 1, 1972. Cheers, --Joe

Back on/off topic That was my all time favorite Neil Young song. A classic.

Wow!, now I see how this "Off Topic" thread works. Thanks for the example.

Slow on the uptake, most times. But then, ...mind like a steel sieve, err-r, I mean, steel trap!

BTW, I dug/dig his "Old Man", too, during a time when I had Old-Man issues: "Dad", don't you know... . Jus' temporary, ...as are all things.

This is easily my favorite thread on ZS.

Heart-to-heart. What could be better. --Joe

Nothing, but it doesn't exclude spooning right?

[Larry]

Of course not

Why, no.

BTW, I stir my coffee counter-clockwise with the teaspoon.

(a lie: I drink it "Black"; no need to stir anything)

Of course not

Great so I can remain "joking" with friends and family (and summer girls) that spooning is the embodiment of zen, ace!

Is this a 'gay' joke or is my brain thingy-ing imaginative punchlines again?

Well, sir, I admit I "don't-know-from-'gay' ".

But "gray" (white?), I know more than a bit about: just look at my "Avatar" (I should fire him... ).

As I like to say (you know... ): "DON'T let the gray hair fool you, it's NOT my natural hair color."

Are you sure this smidgeon is "off-topic"? Hmm, maybe that's good. Pheww-w! Just for that, I may have a beer with dinner.

Quantum rules indicate (which means nothing lol) there is no such thing (or not) as on or off topic, which brings us to Wittgenstein and stirring in whatever direction is stirred.

(reminds me of that video thread where I asked Jundo behind the function of all 300 monks or so having 'rules' as how to wash their bowls, he never responded (good for him!) but I was generally interested eventhough I understand the function behind it (I think)

I don't spoon with friends that often these days since I don't invite them "in" when alcohol is in play, so they don't end up sleeping here anymore, thus no spooning, they're hardly up for it when sober, so weird, I'm equally a fan of spooning or "meditating" together, drunk or sober.

Reb Anderson, Tenshin Zenki, Roshi is an ordained priest in the Soto Zen tradition in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki.

Whatever you do, don't mention the body in the park

[desert_woodworker]

Better to read Wittgenstein himself (and understand him... ).

His Tractatus is extremely elegant (and therefore extremely perverse).

Good reading, though.

Wittgenstein would be proud

[desert_woodworker]

Larry, I accept the nomination for President.

Looking forward in 10 hours to Breakfast, although my kitchen is so small that I can only fry one egg at a time:

Discipline... , toleration... , acceptance... , ...laziness: I could otherwise knock out a wall or two, and add on.

(can't reach my copy of Wittgenstein at the moment, or I could maybe add something pithy)

Joe, in four and a half hours I have an appointment with the chapter of my birth town (Haarlem) for an Anonymous for the Voiceless event,

so I hope those eggs are methaporical

Who made you president?

ah right it was my idea, not sure if my bowels were empty
