Sinsboldly suggested I check in to this thread due to my distinguished maturity. I self diagnosed and got professional confirmation just in the last two years. It is the oddest of times; it is the most normal of times. I found WP helpful in discovering what details of my behavior might fit into the overall ASD scheme. At the same time, I was discovering that those behaviors were (surprise, surprise!) not in the normal range.

Overall, I'm happy to find out about this planet-of-planet for dinosaurs such as myself. I am sure it will help me order the random pieces of my mind and perhaps laugh through my bouts of seeing myself as a Martian.

I have to run and attend the chaos but thanks for the invite!

A traditional Cafe greeting is...... Would you like a muffin?
Sorry to hear about your bouts of seeing yourself as a Martian, I think I can help.

Back to Led Zep. The sounds that their voices and guitars make hit me "more than musically". There was a thread recently on animal echolalia that included people who feel that certain sounds seem like they should be responded to as speech. For me that includes some sirens, cat sounds, and lots of the guitar work on Zep I and II. I am totally drawn in (and perhaps hermetically sealed)!

It was often torture to listen to an not be able to howl back in front of friends.

I love this site, remember to crank it up to 11!

Sins and Post

What wonderful replies! I feel almost elated. I have loved that little Martian since I first saw him when I was about 8. Thanks for the smiles and elatedocitiness!

I love i love i love i love that character ; the voice; "back to the old drawing board" i think that was him, and various similarly outrageously wonderfully camp responses to catastrophic disasters.

PS: Also appreciate Nina Hagen. Was going to say "like" but don't think that's the right word! :wink:

Did someone post a video of her somewhere?

Just sat down with my toasted bacon ( well-grilled) sandwich and fresh-cream chocolate eclair and pile of fresh library books and Empire magazine to go with it. And am rolling up perfect little cigarette with Drum tobacco and a miniature filter made of Rizla packet cardboard.

Once upon a time, when I used to sit in cafes!!

Hey ouinon, I was going to ask you a while ago how come you took down your WWW site or did you just stop linking it from here? I use to stop in once in a while, I just didn't say anything.

"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth shattering kaboom? The the eludium pu36 explosive space modulator. That creature has stolen the space modulator. Delays, delays. Capture that creature, and return the eludium pu36 explosive space modulator!"

"...are you from the earth? How interesting. I'm just about to solve the earths' fuel problem...it's quite simple, I'm going to blow it up"

"...oh drat these computers, they're so naughty and complex."

They did now, she guesting with Apocalyptica on this Rammstein cover.

Strange child she is and I still don't want to picture her with a cello. What she does to an accordion is ok, they deserve it. I don't know why the word Valkyrie comes to mind everytime I see her, but it does.

Hi new people

p.s. Is anyone else going to watch "the Human Footprint" on National Geographic tomorrow night? Makes me feel a little alienated that no one else here out of over 18,000 people seems to care enough to post a response in the tv forum.
Blessedmom and all you other "tree-huggers" rally your friends and family. Personally, I can't wait to see a "Visual" of our consumption. I'm sure it will be sobering for many. Sorry I'll get off my "soapbox" for now.

I'd watch it, but when I'm riding my stationary bike to generate electricity, I can only store enough to run this computer. So I never watch TV. But it sounds like it will be a good show!

This is a cafe right? Of course it might be like the ones in Amsterdam, in which case I might risk rolling up something else.

I did think that the Asian languages were different. According to this they aren't. Go figure.

Apparently that word doesn't translate correctly on WP. Okay Malarkey was the better choice. My apology's.

The joint is jumpin',
It's really jumpin',
Come in, cats, and check your hats,
I mean this joint is jumpin'!

The piano's thumpin',
The dancers are bumpin',
This here spot is more than hot,
In fact, the joint is jumpin'!

and it is jumpin' right off the coast of Oregon, too!

I don't know were YOU were when St. Helen's blasted off. . but I was in Eugene!

Check your weapons at the door,
Be sure to pay your quarter,
Burn your leather on the floor,
Grab anybody's daughter.

The roof is rockin',
The neighbors knockin',
We're all bums when the wagon comes,
I mean, this joint is jumpin'!

The problem is precision. Blabla is one possible translation of malarkey, but only one of them. The Germans like to be precise, and I don't think they have a single word to cover the many rich and varied meanings of malarkey. They need more. A German would write a dissertation to explain what malarkey is, while the blessed Anglo-Saxons, having long diverged from Germanic traditions, proceed straight to engaging in malarkey. Meanwhile, the German dissertation will carefully study the relationship of Unsinn with malarkey, and how similar it is to the Dutch onzin. After a brief diversion to the history of 17th century Friesian Deformed ecclesiastical accounting, your German learned friend's dissertation will definitively state that the word Eulenspiegelei must be included in any comprehensive treatment of malarkey. For the benefit and spiritual comfort of our Anglo-Saxon friends, the German scholar will point out that the terminal -ei of Eulenspiegelei must be interpreted as analogous to the English -ity or -ness, rather than as a noun entering into a polyamorous union with two others to make a compound noun that would translate as fried owl's egg. Such a fallacious parsing of Eulenspiegelei would be truly disturbing, and distract from the glory of malarkey, and would thus be heretical, nay even squishy.
