  2. Very interesting article. You gotta love the interviews when your are told, "We are so glad you came, ask anything you want except a.b.c.d. etc!!! FOOOEY!
  3. I like a CLEAN beach... so I choose target shooting. Starbucks or Caribou?
  4. A Ringo drumstick My musical instruments (I could never pick just one!) My photos Which three TPatH concerts would you most like to attend?
  5. :mad: I wonder if that fool woman will ever get her life in control!!!
  6. Am I the only DRAGON here? Tom is a TIGER, btw.
  7. People are having a very hard time trying to find something bad to say about TPatH's halftime show. So they resorted to the last thing they could think of to say---"Tom's lip-synching." I offer the following: If someone is going to tape a performance to lip-synch it later wouldn't it be perfect? I dare say no one would tape a "nervous" sounding vocal. Several of us Farmers have noticed Tom's shaky voice at the very beginning of American Girl. Nope. It was live. Sorry you nay-sayers. TOM WAS PERFECT. Now acknowledge that and move on.....
  8. ^ MJ! I can't wait to share those with ol CurmudgeonDoug. HILARIOUS!! Try this one: HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT The following is an actual question given on a Washington State University chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues,via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well: Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by my girlfriend during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, my girlfriend kept shouting "Oh my God." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

  10. I get "meteorologists' remorse!" I love weather phenomena so much I get all excited about the storms' development and movement. Later when I hear of the death and destruction I feel guilty for enjoying the storm process. I hope those poor folks get more help from FEMA than New Orleans did! God bless them all.
  11. Beatles guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi dies by Stephanie van den Berg Wed Feb 6, 12:36 PM ET THE HAGUE (AFP) - The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a one-time spiritual advisor to the Beatles, has died in his Dutch home, his Transcendental Meditation movement announced Wednesday. "With his life's work complete, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is being welcomed with open arms into heaven," the organisation said in a press release. He died peacefully around Tuesday evening in his home in the tiny village of Vlodrop in the Netherlands where he had been living since 1990, it added. Originally from India, the Maharishi started his worldwide movement in 1958. In the 1960s he attracted many followers including the Beatles who went to meditate with him in India in 1968. Other celebrity visitors to his ashram in Rishikesh included Shirley MacLaine and Mia Farrow. The Beatles and the guru fell out during their visit, for various reasons. Ringo Starr reportedly objected to the vegetarian diet, while John Lennon felt that the Maharishi's claim to celibacy was a lie. Lennon later said in interviews that the Beatles song Sexy Sadie which includes the lyrics "Sexy Sadie, what have you done, you made a fool of everyone" was originally called Maharishi. Last week a Maharishi spokesman said the guru had announced he was stepping down as leader of the TM movement, which has some five million followers worldwide, and retreating into silence. "I can only say: Live long the world in peace, happiness, prosperity and freedom from suffering," the spiritual leader said in his last message, according to his followers. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was born in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh but said he did not remember when. He credited his achievements to his teacher Guru Dev who taught him in the Himalayas in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1958 he presented his worldwide Transcendental Meditation movement and attracted a huge following. It went on to become a powerful money-making machine, selling books, CDs and courses. His 1964 book "Science of Being and Art of Living" was translated into 15 languages and sold over a million copies. "Transcendental meditation is something that can be defined as a means to do what one wants to do in a better way, a right way, for maximum results," the Maharishi told CNN in a rare interview in 2002. The Maharishi's message promised happiness to all. "Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. Under all circumstances be happy ... Just think of any negativity that comes at you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss," he wrote in 1967. Meditating twice a day in half hour sessions would help people achieve inner peace, he taught. According to TM followers mass meditation sessions can generate positive powers that can end negative processes like war and violence. On the TM website, the movement claims that a mass meditation session of 7,000 followers coincided with the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the Cold War. "But when the group cannot be maintained financially, new tensions arise in the world," it added. The Mahirishi's marriage of spirituality with an acute business sense was highlighted by several obituaries Wednesday, including one on the BBC website which referred to him as a "Rasputinesque" figure. "The man who brought the powers of eastern meditation to the west, took a Wall Street methodology back with him to the banks of the Ganges," the BBC said. Britain's Daily Telegraph said the TM movement had been marketed "with all the zeal of a multinational corporation -- which is, effectively, what it became." In 1990 the Maharishi moved to the Netherlands to take up residency in a former convent. He clashed with local authorities when they tried to tear down the convent which some people regarded as a monumental structure. From his worldwide headquarters the guru and his followers provided 24-hour television broadcasts and weekly news conferences. In the least few years of his life the Maharishi did not show himself in public and communicated via a television link-up.
  12. Hmph! Once a user always a user...and to think I believed all that crap!
  13. I agree...an Alzheimer's patient can no more be held responsible for his actions than a very young child can. And (((TIM))) Just know YOU did the right thing. You might have regrets, but never regret doing the right thing.
  14. He always says "Watch this right here," at the guitar break when they perform that song live. I think he added "Allright?" at the end.
  15. I still haven't gotten this album yet...my BAD. I LOVE Liverpool 8 and since I have everything else the man ever recorded I know I'll have this soon, Succatash dear!
  16. WHAT? Stay with a dead man??? Would you speak up to parents of children acting out in a resturant if those parents were making no attempt to control them?
