Try and stop me!

Mein sechsbärseite, I can post.

"Human language is in some ways similar to, but in other ways vastly different from, other kinds of animal communi­cation. We simply have no idea about its evolutionary history, though many people have speculated about its possible origins. There is, for instance, the 'bow-bow' theory, that language started from attempts to imitate animal sounds. Or the 'ding-dong' theory, that it arose from natural sound-producing responses. Or the 'pooh-pooh' theory, that it began with vio­lent outcries and exclamations . . . We have no way of know­ing whether the kinds of men represented by the earliest fos­sils could talk or not . . . Language does not leave fossils, at least not until it has become written ..." —Man in Nature, by Marston Bates

"But no animal up a tree can initiate a culture." —"The Simian Basis of Human Mechanics," in Twilight of Man, by Earnest Albert Hooton

Expressing a human need, I always wanted to write a post that ended with the word Mayonnaise.

In celebration, I'm going to post here.

It's the communist Christmas y'all. I am looking forward to a day of unity, marches, and workers getting together.

For most of the world it seems to be a day off (not looking at you, The Netherlands).

Enjoy!

Listen to this sometime. Start here.

Love Davos!

A long time friend passed away yesterday, unexpectedly. He was in sort of poor health the last few years. Bell’s Palsy, was on the list for a liver transplant. He passed from an esophageal varice that burst.

I live in a small town. Small enough that many of my preschool classmates were still in highschool with me 12 years later. My friend Steve was 5 years older than me so i didn’t go to high school with him, but i had classes with his two younger brothers. I was in boyscouts with his youngest brother. Steve is the one who ‘invested in me’ when i was lost and couldnt find my way. Better or worse, he is partly responsible for me becoming who i am today. He was my journeyman when i was coming up. He left service plumbing to become the lead plumbing/mechanical inspector for the local area. He always had time for me, no matter how busy he was. Personal, or work related he always answered when i rang. He would come by jobsites that he knew i was working juat to shoot the shit for a few

I love The Convergence magazine.

I suggest you all give some of these a look-see.

[Ding] You are now free to post on the comm.

I'm gonna make a post here to celebrate!

the pooch bombed on them for the whole flight ... farting so badly, they eventually surrendered their premium seats, and moved back to economy.

I posted on the internet in the hopes that no one would ever see it or interact with my post.
