Then the neighbor and the bus going past must be too , no ? I have to ask, what is your purpose in projecting the bus passing as you have a smoke ?

Could the choice of HP Lovecraft's fictional villains be inspired by the Bible
Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
It might be clearer if you cite the Bible passage description of Seraphim you are referring to . All I know of is in Isiah 6 ; 2. '' 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. ie; How did you get to this monstrosity ? ; Even 'the creatures' (not called Seraphim ) in Revelations might be part inspiration ... this is highly selective 'interpretation ' ; it does say they are ''covered in eyes front and back '' ( Rev 4 : 7 ) does not describe a disc or a single central eye but does say , '' The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings.'' If I was going to pick a sea creature that looked like a Seraphim it would be a nudibranc ; -

Since an octopus does not have 6 wings , encased in fire ( 'saraph' - to burn ) , do not go around singing '' "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory". And since a Seraphim does not live in the sea , eat crabs, have 8 arms covered in suckers , two eyes and a beak ..... I would say , no . I would also ask what the inspiration was in selecting that particular example of a Seraphim ( which in no way represents the Biblical description ! ) in your post - considering the options available . I like this one better ; 'Not like an octopus ' . And Cthulu was not considered to be just an octopus either - Kraken + dragon + 'anthropomorphic form ' . Also, there are things you can do with an octopus you can not do with a seraphic angel -
Yellow will do .

Have your smoke on the 1/4 hr then you will miss the bus .

I might be .... certainly saw no canaries . But I might be off course ..... I should be somewhere out off the Straights of Gibraltar , but there seems to be large island ahead that isnt on my map ?
-
yeah ... could be that . Or maybe cadcam has good bus services in his area ? Or the other possibility is , that neighbor Cadcam sees each time he goes out is watching for him and then reports in 'Okay guys, Cadcam has come outside to have a smoke ...... roll 'em out ! ''

Where are the High Level Martial Artists/Fighters at?
Nungali replied to Goden's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I have a new training partner ... who is actually intelligent and knows what is going on ! What a relief and delightful change ! He is a fit muscled 30+ local indigenous man that has been away a long time and has returned to his country ( ie. this local area ) . He has done some kick boxing, boxing ( yes ! finally, someone that knows how to punch properly ! ) and ninjutsu , so he has experience in a bit of weaponry , but he wants to learn some others , including sword . He picks things up quick , and knows a lot, which is good as I dont do beginners ( it starts roughly at black belt level ) or children . He is also related to my teacher ... indigenous teacher that is , my martial arts teacher died some time back ) ... of course . I say 'of course' because just about every indigenous person I have met on the east coast , under some unusual , coincidental or 'magical' conditions - or even picking up a hitch hiker , when I mention his name they ' Thats one of my relatives ! ' We both have an interest in indigenous weaponry and hope to make some and experiment with it in the future . Eg Various names in different languages but also called the '' Capital L '' ; A good general weapon ; blocking , hooking limbs and weapons , striking (with the back of the head , not the point ) parrying and defecting and you can throw it . You need to find the right tree and cut the piece out where the base of the trunk turns into a main horizontal root , to get the grain of the wood following the shape of the ' L ' .- 189 replies

'Tic-tok' had a few other good human insults ; 'meatface' and 'shitbelly' Predicted in 1983 ! '' The title character is an intelligent robot (named after the mechanical man in the Oz books) who originally works as a domestic servant and house-painter. Unlike other robots, whose behavior is constrained by "asimov circuits"—a reference to Isaac Asimov's fictional Three Laws of Robotics, which require robots to protect and serve humans—Tik-Tok finds that he can do as he pleases, and he secretly commits various hideous crimes for his amusement. After manipulating both robots and humans to cause chaos and bloodshed, Tik-Tok becomes wealthy (partly through health care privatization) and is finally elected Vice President of the United States.

When you do find out how it all turns out . let me and Cobie know ...... via Ouija board . I have a list of things I am eternally grateful for , one of them is being born and thus living through the time span I did . . . errmmm ... have done . ( Ha ! I am writing like I am dead already ! ) Some times I thought it could have been a bit earlier ..... but then I would have been eligible for conscription for Vietnam War . I realized at a very early age what would probably happen and I did and didnt do a lot of things because of that ( eg no kids , when one wants to drop out of society its not a good idea to drag kids though that IMO ) , most of what I did not do relates to trusting the government , getting loans , relying on systems like superannuation and investments , getting a mortgage ,etc . I pity the people that got sucked into that and are now suffering because of it .

Am I real or Ai ? Maybe Coby is AI? What about that broadcast you watched of your leader ? Was that really them ? Maybe its a plant / the party feels it performs better / the leader is dead and they dont want anyone to know / or its feed from 'the enemy' ? Soon , ANY electronic recording of a person will be in doubt . I watched the beginning of a doco on a castle last night ... the 'drone fly by' image of it looked ... weird . Then during the opening credits 'AI generated images may be shown in this documentary ' - even though they had real footage as well , as they showed some of that next . I turned it off .

So they were not poor then . No ... there did not need to be , but it happened anyway . It even influenced your Bible Oh... child mortality rates now is it ? And then a 'neat ' little 'segway' into child sacrifice to non Christian deity (of course ) Fiction Oh , I'm sorry ... I shall stick to the subject , now what was it .... ah yes, child sacrifice and Saul living under a pomegranate tree .
