In the last few months I?ve really started to thought and in the process have a few things I would like to share. Whenever I first started having the thought it occurred to me most probably don?t even realise why? That is what I am constantly contemplate. Consider this for instance. A lot of the posters on here probably swallow whatever, without appreciating whether or not the information is even true in the first place. By nature this creates a poor outcome. And whilst you chug along oblivious are you even aware of the day to day things? I suppose that is what I'm trying to get at to you. And it be so hard but never give up.

Now thats all good and smooth. But If there anything to come out of this then it?s that working hard so as not to fail and that is certainly a good lesson. So chin up!

OP are you keen on the theory that Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in 1964 and replaced with a lookylikey?

Nice to have you on board, you are giving Gabby a run for his money.

Why is a mouse when it spins?

Because the higher it gets, the fewer.

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn?t there
He wasn?t there again today
Oh, how I wish he?d go away
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn?t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don?t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don?t slam the door
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn?t there
He wasn?t there again today
Oh, how I wish he?d go away

William Hughes Mearns - crazy guy. Think he may have been involved in Twin Peaks somewhere along the line - except for the fact he died 25 years before it was conceived.

I always find, in such situations that if you stand on your head, reciting the entire script of Willy Russells' "Educating Rita" whilst juggling a single (as in one) lemon in one hand and attempting to unravel the "necklace that always gets tangled in the jewellry box" with the other hand, these things become far clearer.

Not that Rita would understand (well, she might do by the end of the play but it's not a given)

And it may help locate a stray marble from beneath the sofa, what with oneself being upended asitwere.

Hope that finalises everything for those that were wondering.

AgentZigzag · 13/08/2011 00:08

As clear as mud a bell shakey

But I think C'ptnNancy's made the most sense on here tonight.

And that's the truth.

Can I have some of whatever you are on OP, please Grin

that sort of deep navel gazing is a fine art & must require a BIG fat paint brush Wink

TalcAndTurnips · 13/08/2011 00:27

Blimey spookshowangel I thought many things, but the OP being more intelligent certainly wasn't one of them Grin

I think that there is a certain breed of person that feels that they have something very profound to say to the world; that somehow they have unlocked a secret to the meaning of life - and it is their mission in life to let us all know about it. Not dissimilar to the street evangelist - he preaches earnestly and at length and is convinced of his message, despite almost every passer-by dismissing him as a nutjob.

Somewhere along the line, however, they have overestimated their analytical thought processes - and their grasp of clear, concise language to boot (although I'm fairly sure our OP isn't writing in his/her native tongue.)

What appears to them to be deep, ground-breaking philosophy and gems of great wisdom, unfortunately appears to us, the reader, as incomprehensible drivel.

Oh bollocks - have I become one of them?

rockinhippy · 13/08/2011 00:30

Hi Spooks I didn't realise you were on here too :)

ImperialBlether · 13/08/2011 00:37

Give that OP another drink!

I remember men who'd talk like that down the pub just before closing time. Someone would have to button up their coat for them and send them on their way.

ScrambledSmegs · 13/08/2011 00:40

Chugs Wine.

And, y'see, the thing is, and you'll never believe this, it's like the truth of our existence and all that shit...

It's all a fucking dream

Nihilisticbunny · 13/08/2011 00:42

Is there some kind of competition elsewhere to make the most incomprehensible post of the year or summat Grin.
