Can I Quote You?

Wisdom and conversation were the same thing at Tuesday Open Comments Night, last night. We heard from Oscar Wilde, Somerset Maugham, and Betty White So it was no real surprise when the links started leaking as they always do.

The Link Leak Virus seeped into every thing we saw. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

Welcome to all of the new folks who came. It was great fun having you!

My quote – “We can learn from experts – and we seek them for mentors as well as partners. Yet, when these pros grow stagnant and compacent – we call them on their relapse, and encourage their evolution forward.”

“You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”

Sudden-savage-shining-solid-soiled-solid-sanded
Steel-shuddering-shattering-shovelling until the
Sabre toothed rooter roots the earth
The eater eats his fill and is not satisfied and
Roars and reves his mathematical rage
on the footprints of Vikings
trapped on a sonic tape recorder
ten million years old, ten million years old, ten million years old.

OK, Instead of Bette Davis, how about a quote from Betty White?
All creatures must learn to coexist. That’s why the brown bear and the field mouse can share their lives in harmony. Or course, they can’t mate or the mice would explode.

Look Out Behind You!

Disguises and mystery were part of a Halloween Open Comment Night as people showed up as their alterego or even the alterego or their alterego. We had our own version of the Bloggy Horror Picture Show. The Dread Arachnid terrorized us and may have eaten Boxcar Willy and we know that Darth Varder ate Jar Jar as B-B-Q even before the show. So it was no real surprise when the links started leaking as they always do.
