<was told the morning after the night before, seeing as the earth moved around 2-10 am>

<slept right through it in girlfriends bed, as earth had moved more than once earlier that night>

Well, you shouldn't eat tandoori prawns, pickled onions, cabbage, and drink Burton's Ale before going to bed.

I imagine the olympic try outs are going well, Robert?

A statement actually uttered in my childhood home: "was that an earthquake or did dad just crash the car into the garage again?"

Well, which one was it?

It appears that this has eventually gone off-topic.

You can resurrect it by mentioning food.

<Holds up a sign saying, "This diversion from "actions-only" is not so atypical for this thread. There have been plenty of times we've gone off the rails, but we always bring it back on track after a bit.

Was it you or the elephant who went 'triumphant'?

Sounds more like the elephant who is named 'Mind' to me!

As far as being 'on topic' I think that this one has now reached a point in its travels that it could no longer find its origin with both hands. However, it is coherent, which is far more important than just being consistent.

things that don't include a mechanism for change over time in response to contemporary effects tend to die out. So the 20 odd threads we are currently able to maintain with some regularity allows for the eveolution of the mind, which is important.

I think I beginning (sic) to ramble, so bye!

<Throws tomatoes at Bunyip>

<remembers about the inability of sound to travel through space, or the treehouse. Throws wholemeal with sesame at Bunyip so he can at least get a nice sanger out of it.>

WHo's throwing the ham and the lettuce?

And can I have a glass of riesling sent along with it also too please ? Thanks!

Also sound does not travel through my right ear at the moment, so I am listening to ABC Classical FM mono.

<wants to go to Paarl now>

<thanks bunyip>
