Haha...just kidding. I am a new member and thought it would be polite to drop in and say hello. I have read a few threads here and thought it would be an interesting place to try and make sense of the madness we are all living through at the moment. This is not just in the US either. Brazil just gave over 49% support to a card-carrying, bag of squirrels, lunatic who makes Donald Trump look like Desmond Tutu. Strange times...... Anyway, I'll try to keep it cordial and join in some discussions if I have something I feel may be helpful. Cheers to all...
You'll lose the polite quickly, sort like being the smallest kid in a batch of 12, with one pop-tart left...… It can be entertaining at times, enjoy yourself.
Welcome EarthSky. As to 'strange times and madness', what do you think of the shredded Banksy story? "Woman who bought shredded Banksy artwork will go through with purchase" https://www.theguardian.com/artandd...dded-banksy-artwork-will-go-through-with-sale "The buyer of the Banksy print that was partially shredded immediately after its auction will go ahead with the £1m purchase amid claims that its value will have significantly increased following the self-destruction." 'pretentious' or what?? Stop the world, I wanna get off!
Hadn't actually heard of that story till now but still a good sign of general dystopia and collective madness. Well spotted! Also, police in England had to taser a man for refusing to stop having sex with his car exhaust: https://metro.co.uk/2018/10/13/man-...-to-stop-having-sex-with-car-exhaust-8035343/ See, this is how it all begins well, and climaxes if you will........... Then when the goats come for you you know resistance is hopeless.....just save yourself:
Thank you everyone for your warm welcome and amusing thoughts. I'm still learning the software on this forum but so far seems pretty straight forward - -well, except for the trophy points thing but I'll learn about that as I go forward, suppose. I appreciate everyone who replied though and look forward to getting to know you!
