Default I can't believe.....

I really don't know why I've stumbled back in here after such a long
absence. I guess I was bored and curious. I see many new faces that
I don't know, many that just aren't here and some that are. Ah well,
that is the way of any cycle.

Somehow I knew you would be the first to reply. Ce la vie.

She did praise your owl. ;o)

You're a true daredevil, Paul. I mean going out on a limb like that.

Ce la vie?

(IMDb quote wheel spins and lands on)

"Mon crayon est large."

C'est la vie! But, of course, monsieur. And a wonderful life at that.
Welcome home. Any new tattoos to speak of?

Nothing new. Been working on some concepts. I've been more focusing
on suspensions.

Hmm. That's positively not direct enough for me, P. What are you
saying?

Likewise.

Details?

> I've been more focusing on suspensions.


Nearly twenty years ago, I gently pinched the skin on the back of my
then 70-something grandmother's hand and equally gently pulled. The
pinched wad of skin... stayed in its elevated and pinched shape for
some seconds while yours truly, my two brothers, and our loving
grandmother sat and laughed at the marvel of the loss of elasticity in
her skin.

I'm noticing the rumblings of that loss of skin elasticity at age 44
and so am less than inclined to participate in suspensions. I picture
lots of fine folk with their knee skin draped around their ankles like
a pair of baggy pants in the coming years. ;o)

Nevertheless, it does look like hella fun.

I pop in occasionally...Then I see Curt and Dr. Slick posting and
remember why I don't really read R.A.B. often.

Now I really don't know who you are talking about since I have no owls
anywhere.

All I can say is that I'm now almost 50. My first suspension was at
43. My skin elasticity is just fine.

> Nevertheless, it does look like hella fun.


Yes it is.

I forget. I assumed, however, that you would remember. Especially as
you mentioned some nostalgia-type words in your OP. My bad.

> > > > She did praise your owl. ;o)


Perhaps that was sarcasm.

Fwiw, she has a website, compunction something or other and, last I
knew, a live journal, too. Oh, yeah, and she appears occasionally in
this newsgroup. Hth.

Regardless, do you have a snake tattoo? Is your name Paul? I love
coincidence.

Well, on November 22, 2004, psf_64 at comcast dot net aka Paul wrote
some... schtufff. You, fortunately or unfortunately, possess that very
same email address. It has been almost two years, however, and so,
perhaps, you're an entirely different Paul of psf_64 at comcast dot
net. If so then I do apologize for the misidentification.

Interperate? Isn't that an animal without a backbone?

> it as you wish.


Ah, a context clue! You meant interpret!

Sweet. I'll interpret it as, "Would you like fries with that?" Yes,
please, and a chocolate Frosty, thanks! D'OH! (Are my attempts at humor
as 'underwhelming' as you may remember them?)

You have my condolences, P.

I've often thought of a tribute tattoo for my grandparents. No mention
of their deaths or dates, but a celebration of the things they loved or
are remembered for.

Good.

Wonderful. I've never seen a suspension in person, however it looks
like a great time from what I've seen in pics and on video. I have
attended a few pulls, but am not interested in that either other than
as a spectator.

Anyway, I guess I'm not getting that Frosty. :o/

Do you see heavy traffic and then avoid driving?
Do you look in the mirror and then avoid shaving? Uh, must you shave?
Never mind.
Do you read the newspaper's headlines and then crawl back in bed,
avoiding the day?

Perhaps you're an... interperate? ;o)

heh

Oh, okay, you'd have to read the entire thread for that to make much
sense. Maybe. I assume you've done that already.

But those were terrible comparisons, of course. Inaccurate at best.
This is much closer to the mark:

Do you see a beautiful sunset and then remember why you avoid the view?
;o)

Regardless, it IS possible to set up killfiles. Or so I've been told.
You could even give ignoring yours truly and Dr. Slick a shot. Might
work for you. Might not. Best of luck, pal.

Hey, wait a second, you're not saying that you're avoiding
rec.arts.bodyart simply because you see my name or Gar's nick listed as
posters, are you? Good grief, Charlie Brown!

your attribution is correct, Corine. What? Oh, Paul included my name.
Riiiiight.

Still, none of my text was quoted in your message.

Google? Now why didn't I think of that?!

And, fyi, if you had actually done what you recommended the OP should
do, well, you would've seen that c'est la vie - at least so far as
Google is concerned - has largely been Americanized. Do keep up, ma
chérie.
