I really enjoy engaging in banter, chitchat, persiflage, etc. My favorite format involves humor, whatever that is. All I know about humor is that it makes me chuckle, laugh, smile, project liquids out my nostrils, etc. Often, humor involves mocking. Second, I like to swap opinions, debate, argue, and like that. This is utterly futile, yet provides an interesting diversion, sort of like game playing. Third would probably be declaiming: I feel pretty good having gotten it off my chest. My least favorite is gossiping, even though anthropologists have learned that a considerable plurality of all human discussion is mere gossip.
With this in mind, I offer you the opportunity to initiate any form of banter here on this blog entry, if there is no one around, and you fear to be observed talking to yourself. I can't guarantee you that you receive any reply or feedback, but you might.

Waste your breath here.I will start off by declaiming that I am good and sick to death of the electioneering. By now, I despise all of the candidates and their spouses. I hate both of the established political parties, Republicans more than Democrats. I hate independents for their indecisiveness. Most of all, I hate libertarians. Someday, I hope I come within striking distance of a libertarian mouthing off. I hate the party functionaries, the undecideds, the activists and the apathetics. I hate the reporters, and the talking heads on television. I hate focus groups. I hope I am making this clear. |

Waste your breath here.Sorry to disappoint momluvs. I tried to start the fantasy blog entry, but I cannot physically get close enough to the keyboard to type, or the monitor to see, once I start fantasizing. Either my arms are too short, or my... |

Waste your breath here.JD, I completely agree with you on the political campaign lasting so long. I'm sick of Hilary, Obama, to a lesser extent McCain (not as much airplay in Canada). The canadian process in my opinion is great because of how the campaigns only last about a month and a half. (and we have fewer annoying attack ads) While in the US, everyone has to go through the all the primaries and then you go to the election. Seems mighty foolish in my opinion |

Waste your breath here.Well, at least there are only about seven months left to go. Soon in America, the electioneering will be permanent, non-stop, beginning again the very instant that the previous election has finished. |

Waste your breath here.Damn... that sucks JD, In Canada we don't even have to decide our party leaders, the members of the party vote at one convention. The delegate system is crap IMO. The electioneering goes for 2 months and is done (other than for the conservatives who put out attack ads in the middle of their stay at the top of the political rankings).

Waste your breath here.I loved how the three ancient Fates (the Moirai) dealt with the Patriots. Clotho, let hem build their hubris to extraordinary lengths, and run up the scores on weak teams. Lachesis, let them string together the 18 consecutive victories to seal their destruction. Finally Atropos, cut them off at the knees during the end of the Super Bowl. Brilliant Ladies! I never doubted you. |

Waste your breath here.I ran into a guy on an Intelligent Design thread, who believes in god because the density of ice is less than that of liquid water, and if the opposite were true, life could not exist. Now I think I know why they have ice sculptures at weddings and fancy brunches. I think when they pass the collection baskets at church services, people should drop in ice cubes. |
We were talking on a thread somewhere last night about the names some parents give their and why they would curse them so for life. Examples-Dick Trickle, Edith Head,. Harry Peters, Michael Hunt, ( Mike for short ) Richard Long, etc.
