Black Syren Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Petty annoyance: People who "claim" to be ultra-aware of spirits/ghosts and "vibes" from the beyond, when you know it's all a sham. (This doesn't mean you, Siren. We all know you are legit!)

sutlerjon Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Animal? In Stink? Why'd ya bring him up? (analyze this Senor Mission, could it have been a Sigmund Freudian connection, or was she thinkin of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters for the connection between animal and stinkin') (Ain't 'eard from him in a day or several, maybe this will awaken the Kraaken.) Huh? Now he's gonna be all giddy an junk when I see 'im this weekend. Thanks Syren, way to go.

Mission Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 In its worst form, I have always thought the need for ghosts, tarot, horrorscopes, aliens and whatnot was a way to give part of the control of our lives over to something external and try and absolve ourselves from responsibility. (In other words, it's a psychological crutch IMO.) In its least damaging form, it's a (mostly) harmless game we play with ourselves. Personally, I love being in control of my destiny. Even when things happen that I can't control, I can at least control my reaction to those inevitable things the occur outside my control. (Which doesn't happen to include ghosts, tarot, horrorscopes, aliens and whatnot - as you might have guessed. ) "Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?" "Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say." Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Ransom Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's right as you come into town off the I-5 freeway. The most butt-ugly statue you have ever seen. Don't know what started the caveman thing, but half the businesses in town are Caveman....Heating, Towing, Printers, etc. The old bridge over the Rogue is Caveman Bridge. And during Boatnick weekend, during the parade, there is a group of guys/girls dressed as cavemen/women who pass out candy to kids, and "kidnap" people and put them in a wooden cage. No one has any idea where it all came from, and apparently it has nothing to do with the Oregon Caves, outside Cave Junction (a hippie haven of extreme proportions). Last summer, some young kids tried to burn the statue down —caused a fire storm in this town you would NOT believe. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red-Handed Jill Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Some folks are naturally skeptical. I'm extremely pragmatic but I've encountered things that are well out of "the box". My brother was an extreme skeptic for years, until he had his own - for lack of a better term - paranormal experience. Then he understood what I had been talking about all those years. I still have no explanation for what I've experienced. Although I think Shakespeare put it best in Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy."

Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 People who refuse to see things outside of the box! When people say "Think outside of the box".... They are still letting some stupid box define their thoughts...... I think it's kind of sad for some people who grow up and forget the wonder of being a kid. Is that like Jimmy B's line..... "I'd rather die while I'm living than live when I'm dead"..... Or am I just being annoying...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
