Yay. Partay! Way to brighten up an afternoon man! :-)

In England flatulent cows get some of the blame for air pollution. That seems harsh to me. Does seem silly IMO all these green taxes and 'sustainable' eco fuels when we are sitting on top of about 500 years worth of coal. They converted one of our biggest power stations to wood chips burning from coal. The wood chip is imported from the USA and produces as much carbon as coal when they burn it. That power station sits on top of the biggest coal field in England. If they can filter carbon out of wood smoke then they could surely do the same for coal.

I was married to a dragon once.

I march beneath the white flag. Ya want any top quality surrendering work ever doing then I'm your (married) man. :-)

Welcome to TTB guys.

I had some black sheets one time. Kept losing the ( black) cat though. She was forever going on my bed and blending in.

Yep. Same thang just different labels. Makes sense really. Someone out in a bamboo forest in China is going to use different language and terms of reference than someone up on a mountain in Tibet or in living a hermitage cum cave in the back end of Egyptian desert. Somebody once said that any path involving you in having to learn a complete foreign language probably aint the path designed for you.

You'd be OK buddy. Their one looks to have eaten a guy on a white horse.

It's NOT tin! Don't trust it man. False flag!

Some stories are OK though. Can't beat a good yarn. I'm never without a good book on the go. Fact or fiction depending on what I fancy at the time.

"The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to. (Terry Pratchett, Small Gods).

Madame Indira's Persian Tarot those are. There's was a pdf online that translated the book from the original French. Hope that helps

It's not actually 'tin' at all is it?

The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues. (Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures).

" If you meet the Buddha along the road. Get him tattooed on your erse." ( IdontwannagotoSri Lanka sutra, Ch 274 verse 57c).

It's all down to stories innit mate? One way or the other that's all we're doing. Telling reassuring tales around the campfire in hopes of keeping the shadows at bay.

Classic narrative form... Boy gets case. Boy loses case. Boy gets case back again.

Or did she? (((( strokes beard))))

There was no case to rest. A fat lady just stole my case.

I rest my case. :-)

No fat lady.

"The Taoist saint is always in no-mind , he lets the Cosmic Mind as his mind " )..of course, such a Mind is free and at ease no matter where it is situated .." Sounds good. :-)

There is no fat lady. :-)

Heavily tattooed I am. Legacy of army days. I've got Betty Boop tattooed on my right erse cheek. Was keeping the left cheek free until inspiration struck. Tempted.......

"The potters workshop is large enough, friend. Let the venerable one stay as long as he likes. :-)
