Well, these days EH is the living proof that if you chase away all the loonies, weirdos, shit-stirrers and turd-slingers, life gets really really quiet. It's like a suburb after 10 round here...where the hell are the all-nighters? Those who used to slap a martini on the keyboard and have at it till the wee hours?
phweeeeeiiiiiiiii --> that's the sound of me whistling in the dark out here, all by myself. Kinda spooky.

Re: oddly quiet
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 10:30 PMI am here, I think everyone just got busy.
Plus, all the world's problems got solved over the weekend. Turns out everyone just needed to hug it out.
I, for one, welcome our new Care Bear overlords. -

You should read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. Then you wouldn't have to worry about hormones, etc. etc.

Can you get a refund?

Re: oddly quiet
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 10:05 AMi have a friend that threatened to sell one of her girls on ebay,
the girl jumped up and down and said "when? how neat! how fun!"
my mom used to say
"Be good or i'll put you up for adoption", which later became "I tried
to put you up for adoption but NO ONE WOULD TAKE YOU." -

Re: oddly quiet
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 11:02 AMit isn't just here, some of my favorite and most active tribes are eeriily quiet and at the same time, I myself can't think of a thing to post to get things going - even on blog, reallly - I feel somehow otherwise engaged and hope it's temporary. Something energetic going on. Mundane chitchat doing OK, though.

Re: oddly quiet
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 7:41 AMWe have always gone in waves of activity. For my part, my participation on EH is almost entirely reactionary; I rarely start threads I just wait for somebody to say something and then I respond. Kind of like this thread!

Re: oddly quiet
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 8:59 AMbeen working on a remix for someone, and that looks like it will never get finished.
i think i need the monkey, the fan, the poo to be flung, the martini in the 1/2 gallon jug and maybe a voodoo doll. there's some spell that involves a chicken, too.
that and there's someone taunting me with some B.S. if they do it again, i'm loading the shit-a-pult and they're in for a surprise!
crap, the sun's up.

spell that involves a chicken too
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 9:13 AMSean,
What the hell is it with you? First it was the shit and the fan, now it's chickens. And once again you've inspired me to a story.
You are never gonna believe this, but it is (also) true. I've done the chicken sacrifice thing.
I have a friend who does African spirit medecine in the tradition of Burkina Faso, and I went once for a divination. He said I needed to offer a chicken. OK, I said. Ha ha. I had no idea.
At this point I must say that it's my opinion that to eat meat and not want to see it killed is a total hypocrisy, so I thought I should get over myself when he told me we were going to sacrifice the darn thing together.
I was sent to buy the darn thing from a breeder up in the hills, and I had to bring it back in a box on the back seat of the car, and then I had to hold it and speak what I wanted, and then he cut its throat. Boy it was intense. The chicken ran about just like they say, spurting blood from its neck, and made a beeline for my shoe (which he said was a good thing).
I still think I'd prefer to be that chicken than a battery hen, but the possibility that he might say the same thing again is the main reason I haven't been back for a followup divination! -
-
Re: spell that involves a chicken too
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 3:36 PMWOW. I'll bet that was intense. I don't know if I could do that.
Yes, I too have a chicken story -
Back in Chicago, where I lived for a long time, there was a member/leader of a somewhat famous band doing a remix for another bigger famous band at a studio that I did work at. Well, the mix was going along fine and dandy except that this one part - said rocker could not get the drum sound that he wanted. He also believed that the studio where this mix was taking place had a spirit that it needed to be rid of, as it was affecting the sound board and his mix (and apparently the lack of the perfect drum sound.) So...he sent his wife to find a live chicken - in Chicago, and that's another story there, her actually finding one. Eventually she came back with the live chicken and the afore mentioned rock remixer sets the thing loose in the mixing booth. The studio owner is freaking out, other people are freaking out, some are quite amused with all this...chaos ensued. The chicken somehow gets up on the mixing board, takes a huge dump on the channel where the drums are and seeks shelter elsewhere. (I'm leaving out a lot of the chicken chasing, threatened sacrificing, and the freaking out of other people for brevity). Studio owner is really pissed about the chicken shit on his $100,000.00+ console. Rocker says not to worry about it, he'll take care of it. Board gets cleaned, sense of bad spirit diminished, drums now sound the way he wants them and mix is completed.
They then tried to return the chicken. -

Then I won't tell you about the bachelor party and the flying sheep.
No animals were harmed in the making of this life adventure.
Would you settle for fainting goats?

These fine gentlemen I knew were having a bachelor party at a swanky hotel in downtown Chicago (I think it's one of Oprah's favorite hotels or something, and it's NOT the Four Seasons...) - and someone gives a gift of a blow-up sheep. "Lambchop" gets blown up. Said sheep made the rounds at the bachelor party, to dinner afterwards, a couple of bars, and back up to the suite. Pictures were taken, both appropriate (ha!) and inappropriate. Then somebody gets a wise idea to open the window as there was a LOT of cigar smoke. Then I hear - "HEY - think this thing can fly?" and out the window it goes - some 10-or-so stories above Division Street. Everybody watches as part of the night's entertainment casually floats down to the street below. It was a bit like watching that plastic bag in that movie float around...only more sheep-like, and in Chicago not New York. (Was that "American Beauty"?) I can only imagine what the people on the street thought, as well as the people at the outdoor cafe' below, trying to figure out what the ruckus and noise above them was about...and the falling "balloon animal."
The driver of the delivery truck that it landed in front of was a *little* surprised. Lambchop flattened.
Doesn't this happen at every bachelor party? -

....she's once, twice, ten times a lady.
....she could consume a third of the global population and that's just a snack.
....she uses a mattress as a maxi pad.
So poor....

....l walked through her front door and tripped over the back fence.
So greasy...
....Texaco buys oil from her.

All hail FP, may he rest in peace.

Re: oddly quiet
Thu, May 8, 2008 - 12:21 PMNot sure which of those categories I belong in (maybe none, maybe all, LOL). But I have been absent from EH (and tribe in general) for a while now, and while I miss it a lot sometimes, I just find I don't feel drawn to it as much as I was initially. Plus I am busy as shit (with twins on the way, will be even busier this Fall) . I wish there were a better interface than a keyboard for writing. I WANT A BRAIN JACK!!
Maybe my tribe honeymoon phase is over...
either way, I love all you, you crazy mofos! =8^)
