Well it was intended to be very tongue in cheek.<BR/><BR/>....<BR/><BR/>I usually like nature films but that narrator was particularly whispery and annoying and that cello background muzak? Maybe for a snow leopard dying of old age, but hardly appropriate for a high speed cliff chase.Fieryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681456246185901798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583239250485118416.post-54491725455234355282007-10-30T10:42:00.000-06:002007-10-30T10:42:00.000-06:00An open letter to Richard,Dear Richard,Recently on...An open letter to Richard,<BR/><BR/>Dear Richard,<BR/>Recently on my blog I was asked where a certain article came from. I responded in a truthful fashion that it was from you. I freely confess to using the descriptor "inflicted" because of the specifically nauseating quality of christian fundamentalist tripe said article was spewing. It was so bad that I felt compelled to share my disgust in detail with the lovely readers of my blog.<BR/><BR/>Then I thanked you and snerked because of the irony involved in thanking someone for something one thinks of as "nauseating, spewing tripe". The wink was acknowledging the silliness and setting the mood for the next bit.<BR/><BR/>The four dots on the end of "I think I'm on his forward list" left the comment open to interpretation. Negativity can be implied, but doesn't have to be assumed. That interpretation is in the eye of the reader. I should have put an additional smiley after it, so that my personal reaction to my status was shown.<BR/><BR/>My apologies as a writer for not making it more clear to you, my reader, what my intent was.<BR/><BR/>So- Thank you Richard for including me on your special list and selectively sending me ...stuff. <BR/><BR/>Now you see those ellipses there, just mean I wasn't sure what to call the material you send "in toto". So I went with the generic term "stuff".<BR/><BR/>I'm perfectly happy to be on your list of specially chosen materials.<BR/><BR/>Oh and I look forward to deconverting the JW's, I double dog dare ya to send them around.<BR/><BR/>Ok- don't. I take it back. I'd rather not take time away from my blog. lol<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Fiery<BR/><BR/>PS- this letter is meant in light hearted, good natured fun. If any part of it causes hurt feelings, please contact me immediately for a humorless straight-forward rendition of said information.Fieryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681456246185901798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583239250485118416.post-83808867846554907542007-10-30T10:18:00.000-06:002007-10-30T10:18:00.000-06:00Hey, being on my "forward list" is a very special ...Hey, being on my "forward list" is a very special thing! I am very selective about who gets what. <BR/><BR/>Each person on the list is treated according to my understanding of their personal interests, and I ask for feedback if anything sent does or doesn't suit them. So, no more use of ellipsis to suggest unnamed, yet hinted, negative implications. For that, I am going to subscribe you to The WatchTower. You'll have JW fundies banging on your door in no time. <B>Then they'll convert your kids... BwahHahHaHaa.</B><BR/><BR/>You will have jeebus icons all over your house: little Virgin Mary statues, pictures of Jeebus with a crown of thorns, or drifting up to heaven with his palms turned to face you as he gazes out of the frame with BIG soulful eyes as beams of light radiate from the clouds behind him. Crucifixes will appear on your walls, some with his body, sculpted to look like a weak ten year old boy twisted in pain, blood oozing from a gash in his side and drooling from the thorn gashes on his head, and his face gazing heavenward in rapture*. Now that's an ideal all of humanity should support, No?! <BR/><BR/>Of course, I mean that in the kindest way. Your soul CAN be saved. *Gacque* ;-)<BR/><BR/>*BTW I was amazed to find out that "passion" originally meant <B>total agony</B> from torture (being burned alive or crucifixion being the preferred examples of serious passion). Mel Gibson KNEW that when shooting "The Passion of the Christ". To think that the religious object to violent movies, yet flocked (pun intended) to a Hollywood <B>snuff film</B>!!!!!! Calling religious people "sheep" is an insult to the entire scientific genus of animals known as <I>Ovis</I>. In fact one member of the <I>Ovis</I> are true Mountain Kings: the Mountain Sheep, <I>Ovis dallii</I> who are only surpassed by those Gods of Mountains, the Mountain Goats, subFamily Caprinae.<BR/><BR/>Watch <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSGikymKFlc" REL="nofollow">this goat</A> as it bounds down a jagged and broken cliff as a Snow Leopard chases it. It's a pretty amazing 90 seconds! I'd be dead 100x even before the Leopard caught me. (I hate the whispered reverence of voice-over nature films and the endless fawning over footage of an animal grazing or licking its paws and young, but after about one minute the CHASE begins.)Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479600882274172677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583239250485118416.post-88865157607185869212007-10-29T11:41:00.000-06:002007-10-29T11:41:00.000-06:00*blushes* Thank you King A!Giles works for clashra...*blushes* Thank you King A!<BR/><BR/>Giles works for clashradio.com and this piece of tripe has been published all OVER the internet. *gack* And people praise it wherever he submits it.<BR/><BR/>As for how I got my hands on it...
