Ouch! Having been on vacation and not here for the initial launch and subsequent postings, I was amazed at the heated debate taking place in the new forum.

I stand corrected - the light-heartedness that takes place here in the Lounge is definitely a good thing!!

It helps diffuse the tension from both sides of the issue!

Sorry, Kaz. I certainly don't blame anyone. I just think that life goes well with a little serious (once in a while) and a little humor. To segregate them just seemed wrong. With time, I hope that will change over there.

In the meantime, could we offer you some Easter chocolate?

And would you care for a little Monty Python with that?

Thanks for the chocolate! Yum!!

As for John Cleese: I have never understood how he can say all of that while barely moving his lips!!!

It's the "stiff upper" training they get as children...

vivaldirules · 04-13-2009, 12:08 PM

And now for something serious.

Well, you'd never suspect them of being serious looking like that!

Wherever I go, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and me!
Whatever I do, he wants to do
"Where are you going today?" says Pooh
"That's very funny, 'cause I was too!
Let's go together!" says Pooh, says he
"Let's go together" says Pooh.

Perhaps the other area could be renamed "The Controversatory."

All I know is, I'm not goin' in there again. Ouch! All those sharp opinions, flyin' around! It's all fun and games 'till someone puts an eye out, that's what I say.

DG, I favor the Lilith theory for who the sons married. Apropos of which, you might like this feminist midrash about Lilith, by Judith Plaskow: http://jwa.org/teach/golearn/sep07/G...07-excerpt.pdf
