I came to the same decision long ago. I follow a twelve-step program in order to stick to it. So far, it's working pretty well.

That's what I thought. Just checking.

Is anyone still posting on The Shortest Thread Ever?

I like this thread! It's better than The Shortest Thread Ever! Now, @Narikaa: I spent my tender and formative years in a Housing Project in Chicago. Attack them (in any form) They retaliated (massively) If at a distance....verbally At arms reach ..... usually with something edged: They would (literally) cut your ding-dong off. I saw this happen. Its what they did! But hey, I learned not to do it. A bit of discernement goes a long way....

It's called Silhouette....

Watch your language, please:

The best PAM rep is sold by the same dealer who sells the best Sub...it's...let me see...

What would ever make you think that?

WAKE UP, YOU WONKERS!

and a goodnight to all....

sweet soft chill....

Not a great video, but a great song:

As they say, 2 heads are better than 1...

Send him your picture, Vicky. That should straighten him right out. Ok, in all seriousness, I suppose it takes a woman to feel - or at least to admit to feeling - that kind of compassion for another person: it's to your merit to suggest what you have, and I fully agree with you. In fact, it is probable that his forum friends are already doing just what you've suggested - and as friends, they probably can find the right words to say to say about the situation - which certainly must not be the happiest for TTK - as well as for the RWG administration. Addendum: As others here have mentioned, we've been through this before with TTK. Sooner or later, the old bugger always manages a comeback and shows up again like, for some members, the proverbial bad penny. This time, however, it sounds like he's pushed the envelope to new (and for the crew here) particularly unacceptable lengths, and he has me wondering how the hell he's going to work this one out. For someone like myself - who has a certain affection and respect for both TTK and many of the players involved in this latest chapter of his ongoing psychodrama - it's interesting to see the public reaction(s) to his banning. Whatever one can say about the man, you have to admit that he's news, as they used to say. This thread alone has racked up more than three thousand hits - and still climbing. TTK: the man they love to hate! Why do I imagine that somewhere deep down, he revels in it? And perhaps even needs these 'life-and-death' confrontations with others (and probably himself) from time to time? There could be many answers, of course, but one of them may be that after all these years out there in Paradise, he's a bit bored. It's common knowledge that TTK is an old soldier, and if they never die, as the saying goes, it's clear that some of them have the need to keep on fighting. Fighting practically anyone, in fact, since the important thing is the danger and excitement of the fight. Like compulsive gamblers addicted to risk, these guys are profoundly hooked on conflict, to the point of sometimes totally losing it in their quest for the absolute. All of this speculation is neither here nor there for those most directly involved in the latest chapter of TTK vs The World, and may very well not be well received by them as well. So I'd better stop here - at five in the morning, local time - after adding these lines to a post which I had written practically a day earlier. As I said above, the idea that prompted me to add these musings was the comment of how we've all seen this before with TTK. Since no one ventured anything to explain why - other than observations about his personality and character that we've also seen before, I thought I would add my two cents worth. Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Here's a rare video featuring Massive Attack. I say 'rare' because I've never met anyone else who's ever seen it outside of myself. For obvious reasons, it was never shown in the U.S. As for the UK and the rest of Europe, I can't say. I did see it in France before it rather quickly disappeared.... Warning: do not watch this at work. Or around kids. Or maybe even your wife. In fact, it might be better if you just pretend it isn't here at all and went on your way. Personally, I don't find anything shocking or distasteful about this video at all - in fact, I think it's a little masterpiece of great camera-work and bittersweet ambiguity - but you never know how others are going to react.... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12wb_mas...-thankful_music

I always thought this was one of his very best. Heads and shoulders above the rest, and still way cool:

One from left field: a sequence from the film Solaris by Steven Soderbergh (2002) I love the music*, and her face...

God, as if all the rest weren't bad enough, you've just rendered me impotent with that.

Not only that, Ken - I also know how to recognize a great story when I see one. Someone should do a music video about this: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...mp;pageId=58743 Uh-uh...I feel a Beavis & Butt-head moment coming on....

I know. That's why I did
