BrokenSword's Nut House

[BrokenSword]

Supposition-

There are three basic types of people on these boards:

1. The totally serious and intensely focused -
2. The curious and mildly obsessed -
3. AND - The Nuts the fun seekers.

The mildly curious seldom say (post) anything and cause no confusion, but ‘The Nuts’ tend to get under foot of the individuals in category #1.

At times, certain individuals on this board cannot restrain themselves from posting the craziest ideas - expressed in the format of parody. Okay, I mean me.

Therefore, be it resolved that:
When those flashes of humor or, shall we say, brilliant and insightful genius blossom in anyone’s mind… they be recorded here. Away from the individuals of type #1 and not interfering with or breaking the thought processes of their more seriously minded adventures of discovery.

Be it further resolved:
None of the devastatingly clever comments/stories/barbs here shall be directed at any member or their families (unless maybe, they are from Switzerland)

Be it thirdly resolved that ANY historical figure is ‘fair game’ and that nothing said about them shall be regarded as bashing or mean-spirited. (within reason - the normal proprieties of the Board will be observed at all times - no profanity, no obscenities etc. - innuendo is far more insidiously delicious anyway) The Custer boys had a raucous sense of humor and that shall be the spirit of this thread.

Be it lastly resolved that ‘historical figures’ shall include NO living individual/s. I am not an official or an officially appointed moderator of this thread - BUT! I am a tattle-tale as well as a butt kissing suck-up and will run and tell Diane.

If your posting here is related to a specific posting elsewhere, simply reference it. ex: So-and-so thread: Reply #-Whatever. If you care to or need to for clarity's sake.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Dear Brilliant and Insightful Genius,

As I have tried very hard to be totally serious and intensely focused, my need for a release from a mundane life causes me to become a perfect nut at times, I am so happy to finally find a place to "fit in"! Lord knows, this LBH thing is serious and tragic enough to fulfill a garbage bag, so a little humor is refreshing. But that is only for the beholder to determine!

I'm sure there are those who have wished me banned to the "refuse drawer" because of some of my brainless posts, so dear Grand Master of Jokes and Jibes, thank you for this thread. Here I can laugh, on the others I can be serious.

Bab-

“…a little humor is refreshing…”

AH. You get it! You have seen the ‘Big Picture.’ I appoint you …. High Priestess of the Nut House. Always remember, “Those who ‘feel’ see life as tragedy, those who ‘think’ see life as comedy.

“…some of my brainless posts…”

There are no brainless posts, my child (unless you are Swiss, perhaps).

Come. Stand to my right, High Priestess.
Let them now, kneel, adore, and make sacrifices.

Hail, Michael.

Since there's safety in numbers, I think I'll hide here for a while too. Oy.

[Scout]

Charge the blockhouse!!!

[harpskiddie]

Well [spoken ala Jack Benny]!!! Since I cannot be High Priestess, I shall steal away, on little cats' feet into wherever it is that people steal away into when they have been belittled and abused and derogated at and have been refused an opportunity to be High Priestess.

I may start my own religion, the Church of the Eclectic Neon Pomegranate, wherein EVERYBODY can be the High Priestess, and there will be NO ACOLYTES. Sermons every Sunday, rain or shine. Clothing optional.

But maybe not, since I like to be self-effacing, and am not at all sure that I am good enough to be High Priestess, even of my little attic [and two kittens, who are huddled together either for warmth or conspiring to vote me out of the litter - hey!! I still got the hair dryer, so watch it!!]. Is that enough of a disclaimer.

And quit following me around, Michael; you are making me paranoid.

I think I'll go back to the "WE ARE ALL SERIOUS SCHOLARS HERE, WHO READ BOOKS AND LIKE THAT" boards, since I am nothing if not serious. Someone once said of me: "Yeah, he thinks he's so funny." And when I was told of it, I responded: "Actually, I think everybody else is funny. I'm just an observer. Who could compete with the serious folks at being ridiculous?"

Gordie,
it was him, Teach.................................

“..Hail, Michael. Since there's safety in numbers, I think I'll hide here for a while too. Oy…”

clw - Hail, Yes! You and all others are welcome.

Do not think of yourself as ‘hiding’ my child. But rather, consider this a place of solitude from and reflection upon the complexities and vexation to be found in Custer World. When refreshed and your thoughts have re-gathered, you may sally forth from this quite place and once again do battle with the Dragons of Darkness and Uncertainty that hold sway over Custer World and over all those condemned to live there.

Scout- “…Charge the Blockhouse…,” or did you mean the Blockhead? If indeed you meant the ‘Blockhead’ then be warned, I have a growing clan of dedicated followers. Otherwise, sit at our fire, my friend, and warm yourself against the icy and biting winds of confusion and conflicting ‘eye witness accounts’ that are howling beyond the walls of our refuge. Drink freely and fully from our empty cup of ‘I have figured it out!’ You too may be strengthened for combat against the dragons that await.

Gordie- Do not think yourself slighted, neglected or unvalued here. Do not steal away. Your destiny you cannot escape. You are to sit upon the Great Throne and wear the duel crowns of ‘Exalted Master of Chaos’ and ‘Councilor and Dispenser of Wisdom’ to the feckless head scratching multitudes. All seekers eagerly desire your dispensables to grace their unworthy selves.

Be at ease, Master of Chaos. We do not follow you around. We KNOW where you are at all times and, yes, we ARE watching you as well.

So speaks The Broken One

The Eclectic Neon Pomegranates are not a church. They're a rock group from long about 1960 something from either NYC or Syracuse. I know this because I dated the drummer. Or the bass player. Possibly both. The reason I'm absolutely postive about all this is because during the sixties my mind was quicker than a jack rabbit on a date. My memories of the entire era are crystal clear. Really. And I never make brainless posts either.

Broken Sword's Nut House has a nice ring to it. Somehow reminiscent of Don Quixote.

[harpskiddie]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH. I love it. I love you. I love my kittens. I love life. Let the Four Winds blow - let em blow, let em blow. From East to West, I love ME the best...............

Master of Chaos,
who is, natch, watching the watchers watching..................................

[Scout]

'Charge the blockhouse'....from the movie ARSENIC AND OLD LACE...crazy Uncle Teddy. I don't know what you meant but I'm telling Diane.

[Montana Bab]

Scout,

Not only will Diane know, I have a feeling that everyone in the LBHA will know about this sacred place, and we will all be condemned to the LBHA dungeon for life. Oh, nuts!

clw,

I want your little smiley on his horse! THAT will keep me laughing! GOOD GRIEF! I just realized what that horse was doing!

Bab

[Montana Bab]

Oh, Gordie,

I feel bad.....You can be High Priestess! My head is too big for a tierra anyhoo.

Bab

[clw]

Montana, I don't believe a place is homey unless there's some horse manure around. Surely you agree with this? ;D

[harpskiddie]

My head's bigger nor yers, and my dog's bigger 'cause he eats Kennel Ration..........

MC,
Corporal Noonan says he wants the tiara................................
