  • Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. 9-11 or Bust!

    derbig mooser mentions dust in the context of what befell the first responders of 9/11

    Derbig Mooser mentions dust in the context of 9-11 cause if those planes are what knocked down the towers, there wouldn't have been so much of it, nor would it have been as finely powdered, nor spread so far, among many,many other things.

    And yes, the implosion of the buildings took the lives of many first responders.

    Let me make myself clear so we don't have to go into 9-11. I'm convinced there was much more kinetic force applied to those buildings than that supplied by the planes. Who supplied this energy, and how, or why, I have no idea, nor do I expect to get any for a long time. (yes, of course it was supplied in the form of explosives)

    So there's not much point in arguing about it, and if you want to, there are lots other places to do it.

    Lt. Uhura! Ah the memories come flooding back! How I used to dream about repopulating a planet with her. With my looks and her brains, we would breed a super-race of LWMs! Creatures able to assume any identity or form!!

    Mooses, they just rut. Its sort of sad, really. Anyway, at this point, I'm so famisht romance is out of the question! I hardly even know who I am, or who my wife is anymore.

    And of course, buckyl, who annihilated my existence with a few keystrokes continues blithely, without so much as a by-your-leave. Let alone an apology. Oh hell, they'll probably stop the War On Iraq before that happens.

  • Just the Echo of a Sigh- Goodbye

    As Mr. Coward used to sing. "This sweet Memory, across the years, will come to me. Tho' my life may go a'wry, in my heart you'll ever lie, Just the Echo of a Sigh, Goodbye.

    Off I go to bed, meditating on Blogging and identity. This whole sock-puppet thing makes me feel like I've been cleaved in twain. It's terrible, all my suits were made for a whole person!

    Oh well, one must, as Anotole says, take some smooths with the rough.

    And I must to bed, where my ever-unsatisfied (Gosh that Shooter's a perceptive fellow) wife awaits.

    I can hear her sliding a clip into that little pearl-handled Beretta .25 she loves so much, (the very same gun!) and that means it's time for bed at Moosehall.

    Good nite LWM, wherever and whoever you are. Someday, karma will repay you for whatever hoo-doo voodoo (that you do so well) you used to screw up Buckyl. My God forgive you, cause I can't. I've seen the wreck of a noble mind here oe'rthrown, and its got right in amongst me.

    I don't know how you did it, LWM, but you might as well have hit him square in the temple with a sledge hammer, from what I've seen tonite.

    Do you have the same fate in store for me, LWM. Please, don't make me end up like that, LWM, please. I'll do anything, but whatever you did to Buckyl, don't do it to me. It's devastating. You've turned his mind into a rutabaga!

  • We have two choices...

    One, the present imbroglio continues, and the Sack of Iraq continues into the history books, to join the other major atrocities of last century, and kick off this one. Our second choice is to bring the Armed Forces home, so they can be used on us, in conjunction with Homeland Security and local agencies.

    I don't know if I have the requisite sense of self-sacrifice to choose the latter. And would it be, after all, fair to the kids?

    And man, what won't those people think we owe them? Jobs, hell, lifetime sinecures and a crack at our daughters any time they feel like it?

    You guys are a lot more nobility than me, I admit it. I am terrified of bringing home the troops considering what I see and hear every day.

    I must warn you all: this post has not been approved by LWM, and may have to be retracted.

    Who could sponsor such a PR campaign?

    The "Winter Soldier" hearings we just heard and saw in Washington, (and I think it was the IWVAW what done it, too) didn't meet your standards? I thought they were pretty dramatic, and they went as far as naming names. Gosh, I wish I could remember what name was attached to the quote "If those m--f--ing Hajis would learn how to drive, this m--f--ing shit wouldn't happen. And you know, RMP, he was the highest ranking Officer at the meeting about the checkpoint shooting (which killed a family of four) I'm sure you would recognise his name.

    Anyway, The "Winter Soldier" hearings seem to fill your reqirements, but if you have principles which preclude this type of activity, I withdraw my suggestion. I mean, a lot of people never forgave John Kerry, either.

    Do you think you are the judge of all?

    buckyl

    Well, he was elected to that position, and by a fairly wide margin, if I remember. I came in, well, let's just say I wasn't on the podium. Oh well.

    It might have been before your time, buckyl, but I assure you, the election was overseen by obsevers and dismissed without any stain upon its escutcheon. And I hope that's how yours is, too.
