[FairfieldLife] RE: For Salyavin



 Oh nice, I know Hebden bridge, went for a day out there from Skelmersdale when 
I was hanging with the movement. Proper nice country town with loads of great 
walks in every direction. You can't go wrong. Unless you get lost on the 
moors 
 

 Apart from the Yorkshire Dales which is a must visit, you're just north of the 
Peak District national park which is a stirring landscape and, depending when 
you go, can be really windswept and bleak, I like that sort of thing and always 
tend to holiday out of season as it's less crowded and more dramatic. Spring 
and summer are the same as anywhere else in England. Lots of nice towns to 
visit like Buxton and Bakewell. There will be tourist info centres with maps of 
the best walks. And tea rooms galore!
 

 Didn't know about the Hebden lesbian scene though. Probably why I never got 
lucky on holiday. Ahem...

 The Big Board - by Kilgore Trout
 

 … It was about an Earthling man and woman who were kidnapped by 
extra-terrestrials. They were put on display in a zoo on a planet called 
Zircon-212.
 

 These fictitious people in the zoo had a big board supposedly showing stock 
market quotations and comodity prices along one wall of their habitat, and a 
news ticker, and a telephone that was supposedly connected to a brokerage on 
Earth. The creatures on Zircon-212 told their captives that they had invested a 
million dollars for them back on Earth, and that it was up to the captives to 
manage it so that they would be fabulously wealthy when they were returned to 
Earth.
The telephone and the big board and the ticker were all fakes, of course. They 
were simply stimulants to make the Earthlings perform vividly for the crowds at 
the zoo—to make them jump up and down and cheer, or gloat, or sulk, or tear 
their hair, to be scared shitless or to feel as contented as babies in their 
mothers’ arms.
 
The Earthlings did very well on paper. That was part of the rigging, of course. 
And religion got mixed up in it, too. The news ticker reminded them that the 
President of the United States had declared National Prayer Week, and that 
everybody should pray. The Earthlings had had a bad week on the market before 
that. They had lost a small fortune in olive oil futures. So they gave praying 
a whirl.
 
It worked. Olive oil went up.

 I got *paid*, by seven different clients so far, for my review of "Lust For 
Love." The mini-reviews I wrote here and for the IMDB were freebies. I've also 
gotten paid for reviews of several of the TV shows and movies I've mentioned 
here recently. 

 You're still sitting on your ass, watching a form of entertainment that 
precludes being with and interacting with others, Bawwy. You evidently don't 
know how to pick up a screwdriver or make an omelette or to do anything 
remotely productive. Watching TV all day and writing "mini-reviews" changes 
nothing. I'd like to know what you've done for anyone lately, what new interest 
that doesn't include sitting on your ass in front of a screen flashing illusory 
images has come your way. I'd like to know how you can justify spending your 
days and nights staring at a screen of one type or another.

How much did you get paid to snark once again on someone you don't like, just 
because you can't get over being called a cunt? You do know that you're 
demonstrating being one every time you post one of these ad hoc "gotta get 
Bawwy" posts, don't you?

 Paid? Why I don't get paid anything for that, Bawwy. But then I don't need to 
get "paid" for it. Have you ever considered that getting payment for something 
does not equate with time well spent? Whores and drug dealers get paid too. But 
if you're asking, and you appear to be,  I get paid for lots of other things - 
things that mean I have to lift my derriere off the sofa once in a while.

 No one was. There *were* no "enlightened days." There was only Narcissistic

 Hee, hee, says Bawwy who was over on the other side of the border going gaga

you're that guy who was bewitched by a (supposedly) levitating drug addict. Now 
why don't you tell us, again, all about how you determine so precisely the 
state of everyone's consciousness, whether you ever set eyes on them or not. 
Snort.

Or do you believe that he *was* enlightened? Please state your position for the

the evasion it is. 

 I'll tell you what I think just because you like to read what I write so much,

there is such a thing as enlightenment, it doesn't exist. But I do believe in

No problem. People who didn't follow Robin's posts get confused and think he 
was claiming to be enlightened while he was here, rather than 30-some years 
ago, so it's important to make sure they understand that wasn't the case.

Women Prefer Manly Men

"Really. It took a feature-length article in the magazine to explain to
readers that when men act less like men, heterosexual women want to have
sex with them less. Despite women being told that they want men more
involved in traditionally female household tasks like cooking, cleaning and
childcare, when men actually do so, wives find their husbands considerably
less sexy. . . . The word 'submission' was used four times in the piece, a
radical concept for radical feminists."

 No one was. There *were* no "enlightened days." There was only Narcissistic

 Or do you believe that he *was* enlightened? Please state your position for

Jeesuz obviously has his own time schedule in mind for how and when the support

you'd paid for a Maharishi-brand yagya. :-)

Meanwhile here in the Netherlands we're having the mildest winter in decades. 
It has only dipped below zero (zero Celsius...32 degrees Fahrenheit) a couple 
of times so far, and there has been only one light sprinkling of snow, just 
enough to make the streets look like a sacher torte dusted with powdered sugar 
for a couple of hours before it burned off. 

I guess this is because I and the other low-lives who live in this land of 
legal cannabis and prostitution are enjoying the "support of nature," right? 
While those who consider themselves so much more evolved (and thus worthy) are 
up to their willies and their wonkas in snow and bitching about trudging 
through it to the magical Woo Woo Domes Of Enlightenment. Go figure. :-)

I beg your pardon? What exactly is your objection to the statement of a simple 
fact? There was no response from you required.
 

 Judy, go start you silliness with someone else, please.  
 Oh, and of course you were never around Robin during his enlightened days 
anyway.

whatever it is?
 
 << As for Robin, yes I found him extraordinary in many ways. Whether he had

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Raam

Oh, you mean narcissistic personality disorder.
 

 One wonders exactly how much you could know about it if you can't even get the 
name right. One suspects, in fact, that your only acquaintance with it is from 
Barry's fanatical obsession with NPD on FFL.
 

 But guess what, Stevie-boy? Barry is no more qualified to slap that label on 
someone he knows only from his FFL posts than you are. He uses it as a way to 
demonize people he's threatened by, and he seems to have trained you to do the 
same.
 

 Narcissist Personality Syndrome, ( and excuse me if I got the term wrong, but 
perhaps you can surmise what I intended), and from what I know about it, it 
seemed to describe him.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Raam

Judy, Robin himself called his alleged enlightenment a delusion. So I think 
it's inaccurate to use the phrase "enlightened days."

  Jeesuz
 obviously has his own time schedule in mind for how and when
 the support of nature should manifest itself. It probably
 would have sped things up if you'd paid for a
 Maharishi-brand yagya. :-)

 Meanwhile here in the Netherlands we're having the
 mildest winter in decades. It has only dipped below zero
 (zero Celsius...32 degrees Fahrenheit) a couple of times so
 far, and there has been only one light sprinkling of snow,
 just enough to make the streets look like a sacher torte
 dusted with powdered sugar for a couple of hours before it
 burned off. 

 I guess this is because I and the other low-lives who live
 in this land of legal cannabis and prostitution are enjoying
 the "support of nature," right? While those who
 consider themselves so much more evolved (and thus worthy)
 are up to their willies and their wonkas in snow and
 bitching about trudging through it to the magical Woo Woo
 Domes Of Enlightenment. Go figure. :-)

breathing, warm human beings.

I got *paid*, by seven different clients so far, for my review of "Lust

I've also gotten paid for reviews of several of the TV shows and movies
I've mentioned here recently.

How much did you get paid to snark once again on someone you don't like,

No one was. There *were* no "enlightened days." There was only
Narcissistic Personality Disorder acting itself out.

Or do you believe that he *was* enlightened? Please state your position
for the record. A simple "Yes" or "No" will suffice. Anything else will
be perceived as the evasion it is.
