I'm back, and to prove it, I'm here. Had some fun mail waiting for me today, always nice.

And now, I am thinking about food.

Everyone acted Raquel off the stage, especially Marilyn Cooper who in one scene was far more impressive and memorable than Raquel was for the whole evening. Hated her breathy singing, too, and her attempts to sing harmony to Marilyn Cooper's melody line were laughable.

Apropos of some things: It's a shame when the coffee goes unsmelled.

That would actually make a nice literary eupherism for someone who has died in their sleep.

I have to vote today if I want to mail my ballet.

Are you going to vote SWAN LAKE or NUTCRACKER?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #65 on:** October 18, 2004, 01:22:28 PM »

I've always favored mailing ballet. FedEx and UPS leave all the tutus mussed.

"...mail my ballet..." is a much prettier image than if a person had written that someone had "...sealed his own fat..."

Of course, if someone had "...made his own bod...", rather than "bed," it would make sense, unless the thought were carried out to read, "...and now he must lie on it..." or "...die on it."

God, I love you all so much! Dear Friend BK is right; this is the best site and nuclear family anyone could want.

Thanks for the vibes, but I'd rather you wait till next Monday while I'm across the street at Holy Trinity praying for us all! DRJane can testify I live directly across from a beautiful church!

Still thinking about food. It's quite chilly here, so something warm might be nice.

MBarnum, aside from 36, do you have inside information which effects your voting on these measures?

I'm sure DRMichael is voting for Steve Reeves, no matter who's on the ballet.

I was trying to think of ballets representing our candidates:
Bush: PETRUSHKA, NUTCRACKER
Kerry: LE CORSAIRE, THE FIREBIRD

Well, since I'm partial, it's hard to find titles. To whom would you assign these ballets:
WESTERN SYMPHONY
BILLY THE KID
FANCY FREE
THE DYING SWAN

I feel we should have a fantasy story right here at haineshisway.com. I'll start it, then you dear readers pick it up from there. We used to do this every now and then and sometimes it's amusing.

Once upon a time in a magical land far away, there lived an ogre. The ogre was actually quite a nice person when you got to know him and yet no one got to know him on account of he was an ogre. One fine day, a beautiful maiden with golden hair and the bluest of eyes came upon the ogre.

Dr Jane,
I think I am voting no on all the measures, but need to read up on a couple of them.

I don't think I have even gotten my ballot yet! Are they out already?

The ogre looked up from the dead animal he was gutting and said:
"By the prinking of my thumbs
Some young morsel this way comes"

He set down the animal and strode toward the young maiden, whose name was

Rivka.

Heavens, thought Rivka, I'm about to encounter an ogre and ogres have so many mystical and magical powers. They need to be approached in a certain way, and the wrong approach could have dire consequences.

Rivka struggled to remember this essential information about ogres and how to deal with them. Luckily, her old friend Mr. Lundie - yes, he was old, and Scottish - had prepared for her a handbook on this very subject. It read

Chastity Reuben. She looked at the ogre and said, "Maybe if you didn't gut so many animals people wouldn't think you were an ogre."

The ogre looked at this beautiful vision named Chastity Reuben and said, "But I must gut animals for I am not only an ogre, I am an animal gutter. It has always been thus."

"But I can change you, if you like," said Chastity Reuben, her eyes sparkling like a blue lagoon. "I have magical powers, ogre." The ogre looked at Chastity.

"I'd heard tell your name was Rivka," said the ogre. "Well, that's my middle name. My full name if Chastity Rivka Reuben."

No contest, SWAN LAKE. I'm not a fan of the NUTCRACKER.

I'm STILL thinking about food. I have to make a decision and eat something soon before I fall over. Yesterday I had pasta, so today I must have something different.

The ogre wondered exactly what these magical powers were. Luckily, on a sturdy bookshelf, he had long kept a massive tome entitled "The Magical Powers of One Chastity Rivka Reuben" by someone named Lundie. He'd never thought of cracking its spine before, but now seemed the time.

I've already written five count them five pages and I may do another page or two, but basically I think I'm just about done for the day, writing-wise. Except for our fantasy story, entitled Chastity and the Ogre of Chandra.

They arrived Friday or Saturday.

I’m voting yes on the uncontested measures.

I have two more measures to look over, then I want to return to #34, the Timber one. I'm leaning torwards a yes on 34.

Chastity Rivka Reuben's magical powers consisted of being able to cause people not to gut animals, being able to transport herself from one place to another by merely thinking it, and being able to prepare a five-course meal in seven seconds.

And as she loved all animals, her five course meals were vegetarian.

I loved "The Sword of Shanara" when I was in high school and about 10 years ago, I read "Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. I’ve never read anything else by either of them, but I loved "Good Omens." When I was reading it, I felt that it would make a wonderful movie. I’d heard some time ago that that was in the works, but so far nothing has happened. I read "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Hobbit" and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I’ve read and was a fan of science fiction when I was in high school, but I haven’t been for quite a while. I don’t know why. Other than that, the only author that I say that I like is Fredric Brown. I’ve loved just about everything of his that I’ve read.

This real life Jewess Christian Priestess to the God Dagon is very pleased with her addition to the story.

bk · « **Reply #89 on:** October 18, 2004, 02:24:47 PM »

Given that she was a strict Kosher vegetarian, it was no wonder that Chastity Rivka Reuben wanted the ogre to stop gutting animals and that she'd been given the magical power to stop such things. She said to the ogre, "Wouldn't you be much happier not gutting the poor defenseless creatures of Chandra?"
