An interesting observation from Burling basement:
All of Emily Dickinson's poems can, in fact, be sung to the Gilligan's Island theme song.
Might be an improvement . . .(although they still slant rhyme interminably.)

How exciting!!!

4. Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their gaurd and give you an opportunity to commit more.
5. Always do right. This will gratify some people and gratify the rest.

Before describing somthing of interest to someone, please consider the following:
Awesome----is it really awe inspiring
Radiant----is it really giving off heat or light
Radical----does it really have anything to do with roots
Terrific---is it really terrifing
Exciting---does it really increase your energy

I must thank you all(ahem,one) for the very warm welcome.
If you haven't already discovered I am a very strong supporter of my brother (Dr. Who). It's probably worth pointing out that although we both claim each other fully in actuality we are not full brothers. The very nature of time makes it impossible(we are very sorry that we can't explain fully but at this time translation into this language is not possible).

And now here's something you'll really like. . .
Well, I certainly wouldn't count on that. But perhaps a bit more substantial.
I've been re-reading daily connotations from its inception, and have made a decision.
I'm not going to perform any major changes in the next month. The template will remain the same. Our comments have all disappeared as a result of a server change, so I will probably be removing that feature for now (particularly since no one really uses them anyway.)
I have set up an official D-Con email account (dailycon@gmail.com), as I was invited to do so by google. Now I have the computing capabilities to use gmail (system X is beautiful.), I will check it on occasion. If for some strange reason you should feel the need to contact me personally and do not have any of my 5 personal addresses (yes. Five. I'm sorry), feel free to use gmail. I will try to check it at least weekly. Also, I have invitations to gmail, if you want a google mail account and think you have the capabilities to use it, and are getting spammed out of whatever particular provider is your choice, perhaps you could plead with me and/or bribe me into inviting YOU.
Allow me to take a few moments to welcome our newest (and bestest) member: Dr. What. I shall leave it to him to introduce himself more fully when he gets a moment or two, but the new bio shall soon be appearing. Hopefully this will breathe some new life-blood into our little community. (I just finished reading Dracula. I'm big on the blood imagery right now).
Also, some questions you may be asking:
Are you like this in person?
That depends on who you ask. Most people claim I'm a little more squishy.
Where are you from?Don't post questions until you read the biographies, silly man! (or woman. I don't want to be sexist).
Why haven't you posted anything about Ken Jennings?
Just you wait. I have an obituary prepared. . .
Would you like some toast? No! Smeghead!
Are you a type-A or type-B personality B. Totally and completely. I believe I've even addressed that already.
Have you ever had anyone actually laugh at one of your jokes? Yes. That just shows that there are people more geeky than I am. And speaking of jokes:
If God had intended for man to use the metric system,
Jesus would have only had ten disciples!
*groan
Don't you have anything else you should be doing? Yes. And actually, I'm doing it. Right now. And then there's that other thing - but I can do that later, I guess. Anyway, as long as I'm doing something - or in the case of Sartre, doing nothing, Nothing doing. . .
How much sleep have you gotten recently? Sleep? Ah, yes, I remember. Best part of the day. I think I've slept. Sometime. This week, maybe even. But I don't really miss it. I don't.. . z.z.z.zzzzz
Why don't you shut up?

A preachment, dear friends, you're about to receive,
on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve...
I once was happy and I had a good life
I had enough money to last me for life
I met with a gal and we went on a spree
She taught me to smoke and to drink whiskey.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Cigarettes is a blot on the whole human race.
A man is a monkey with one in his face.
That's my definition, believe me dear brother,
A fire on one end and a fool on the t'other.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Write on the cross at the head of my grave
To women and whiskey here lies a poor slave
Take warning dear stranger, take warning dear friend.
They'll write in big letters these words at my end.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Hallelujah brother.

I'm so tired
Good night
I haven't slept a wink
{the sun is up)
I'm so tired0
Sleep tight
My mind is on the blink
I wonder
Everybody
Should I get up?
everywhere
and fix myself a drink?
NO NO NO!
I can't sleep,
I can't stop my brain
(Good morning, good morning)
It's been three weeks!
(the sky is blue)
I'm going insane
(Good morning, Good morning)
you know,
I'd give you anything I've got
for
{limitless undying love}
a little peace of mind.
{that shines around me like a million suns and calls me on and on}
(it's beautful)

and ~so are you.
