Daniel could you put a monocle on one of the dragon's eyes? He could even leer down through it at Twiggy?
"Oh my my, what do we have here. They sent me a tasty cake for lunch."

That's a radio station. Wax is slang for the old vinyl LP records. Since replaced by CDs.

Thanks. I should figured that with the CD Library in the other photo. Seriously though a dragon leering through monocle at a Knightress might be an interesting twist. And might not take much time to change? Aspirins may not do it with this thread. Daniel might need some Jack Daniels.

Sun Tzu said "Strength become weakness, weakness becomes strength." How can this happen unless things are trying to become what they are not. And if people are the cause of events and things become what they were not, then haven't the same people that caused the events to happen become what they were not? How can cycles even exist unless things become what they were not before? Maybe people in insane asylums will be running the world soon and will be viewed by everyone else as "talented." Maybe Cosmic Trigger will become the new "norm." When things change so quickly and at an accelerating pace you have "abolition of context." Or lack of standards or norms. That is "norms" and standards can never be established or have time to root and be accepted as a social "norm." Or they are constantly eroding like so called grading standards. How can changes occur at all unless something with standards changed. How can an AU58 become a MS63 unless "norms" changed. If "norms" keep changing they never existed in the first place. People called crazy may never have been crazy. Albert Einstein was so disinterested in public school brainwashing that today, by today's "norms" he would have been diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder and and made into a Pharm zombie. "Norms" are whatever happens to be convenient for someone to changed things around to their liking and anyone who doesn't like it must be crazy. Insanity *so they say* is "deviation from established norms." If norms don't exist or barely exist, or don't stay established, then how do they know who is or who isn't a whack job? What happens when the people who decide who is or isn't a whack job are whack jobs themselves, as seems all too likely if they are projecting their own whacko-ness on someone else. Which, IMO, is exactly what happens in politics. People from each party are merely seeing themselves in someone else. I just hope I don't mutate into a humanist. Oooh, I forgot something: If there are no established, accepted norms to follow people are deviating from non-existence norms. Which in turn makes them abnormal. If non-existent norms become the norm then being abnormal becomes the norm.

Cosmic Trigger is a book by Robert Anton Wilson that centers a lot on Aleister Crowley--My most favorite deviant, anti-altruist, anti-humanist, anti-religion "extremist" Individual. No matter what else they say about him, which is plenty. Sorry for the late edits. I'm not getting good connections today. Maybe I'll send AT&T their bill back with: Error 680. Connection to remote checkbook could not be established. Please go @&^$ yourself. Here's Aleister What?

I don't believe there can be an outlandish dragon. If they are a fantasy to begin with they are whatever you want them to be. Hot babes in skimpy armor might be outlandish but still a good expenditure of chivalrous effort.

More like ''escapism" which is often said of things that aren't viewed as "serious." Including coin collecting by those don't collect coins.
Silver is down again today at $16.23. Perhaps the delay will be slightly beneficial.

Oh there were dragons just as sure as there were Unicorns and Pegasus. They like many other things are still here but smart enough to avoid and deceive mankind. Normal folks don't make up fokelore they pass it on to keep it alive after mankind destroys it. Just as the fairy will come to those who wish a glimpse of what could have been or was. To believe in whats not is probably more true than believing that which has been painted before your eyes as realilty. Our medallion is a reflection of something that is very real to us so in a sense we are painting our own reality in a realm that, just a few short years ago, did not exist. Who is right and who is wrong and who gets to chose? All the old ways and beliefs, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, were not forced aside by the average man and woman, but by government and religion. After hundreds of years they are still pushing yet men and women all over the world have kept them alive! Why? Sorry Daniel! We do get carried away on occassion but it is so much fun in our world. Right now I am listening to the sound track from King Arthur so I am in another world for the next hour or so. And I do listen LOUD when my wife is not home!!!
