Quite fun to observe all the morphing, I really laughed a lot, but I do feel for the other newbies who don't have enough time to search for information amongst everything that has been happening on this perticular thread.

I would like to thank everyone who has posted here, for every opinion and aswer and question there has been, and, mostly, fot every funny, silly and witty comment!

Long live Karma!



[Edit : i moved these posts out of the karma thread, so the silliness could run rampant with no worries of thread hijacking reprisals. let the silliness continue unabated !

If there was any qualification for becoming a member of the Unutterably Silly Movement more than just turning up, I believe you have just graduated with full honours and a strawberry on top. Your father must be so proud.

What really worries me is this: if you can give me this well informed advice, who did accept a drink from him? And what happened to that poor person?

I accepted a drink (or two) and all my hair fell out. Which was weird, because I was already bald to begin with

Well, lets see. There was LilacJive, who used to be a shy, retiring type. Now look at her.

I've had two of his drinks, and look at me. I'm only 27..........I"m just sayin...............

Its really interesting. I feel nothing like my physical age, mentally.

I keep thinking I'm 40 then when I look into the mirror, scare the heck outta myself.

Too late. You're here, and here you'll stay. There is no escape.

What,.........you think we're all here because we WANT to be??

I've tried leaving a few times. It just isn't possible....

I don't know. Do you need the exercise? Personally, I run for no man (though I do for that old bat, DGma, if she's waving her stick around and telling us all to get off her lawn).

RUN AWAY!

Way to go, Madame Z.

Now she'll be totally lost in the mazes.........well, we'll soon know if she's MR worthy, won't we?

By the way......what ever happened to that last innocent we sent there?
