Epiphany

[ZombieNixon]

Whoa. I just realized how incredible the Internet is. Here I sit, in a dorm room in downtown Chicago. I've never met any of you. I only know a few of your real names, yet here I sit, holding conversations with many of you as if we were sitting face to face. How freakin' deep is that?! Thank you, Al Gore!

Note: I am not high.

[aquaman]

1. Sure your not.........

It's okay. I quit smoking years ago, but I am cool with it. :hi:

[ZombieNixon]

4. Grrr.

:spank: :evilgrin:

[elshiva]

2. Yes, thank God for ZombieNation and the internet!

[ZombieNixon]

6. Is that a pun at my expense?

Hmm? :freak:

[elshiva]

8. No, it should be taken literally as in...

Thank God for ZombieNation (the DUer, the guy) and the internet."

I really love the internet and DUers like you. I was not trying
to make some comment on that we are a nation of zombies or something,
I don't think that, that's too simplistic. Sorry for the mix up!

[ZombieNixon]

9. I see.

Hooray for us! :bounce:

[elshiva]

11. YUP! Hooray for internets...

[Ptah]

3. Focus:

10. I love that album.

[Ptah]

14. It's in my top five.

I love the R. Crum {Zap Comix} art.

:hippie:

5. And people say they're bored. There are just way too many fascinating

things in the world for me to ever be bored.

[NMMNG]

7. And people say computers destroy social interaction

Bully on that!

[qnr]

25. They do? I never heard. Must have been too busy at my computer

:hi:

12. 'Tis the Season!

All the way up to Ash Wednesday. O8)

[ZombieNixon]

16. 'Tis, 'tis is not?

I just looked at the calendar. Holy shit! Ash Wed. is a long ways off (Mar. 1, though I'm sure you knew that) and then 40 days of Lent. Why do I know this? I'm not even a Christian? Why do I have a marvelous command of information that is thoroughly useless to me?! :freak:

[RevCheesehead]

18. I dunno - have you eaten any pasta lately?

Maybe a bigger question is, what are your plans for Mardi Gras? :)

[ZombieNixon]

21. No pasta for a while.

And I haven't even started to think about Mardi Gras, which, by the way, when is?

[RevCheesehead]

24. That varies by region.

Around here, it's the week before Ash Wednesday. It's usually called "Shrove Tuesday," and includes the Fireman's Pancake Supper.

[ZombieNixon]

26. OK, well, I'm in Chicago,

which isn't too awfully far from Wisc, so...that means what?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear ZombieNixon.......

I too have had this epiphany...

It is the most amazing feeling! Suddenly you feel as though you are connected to the WHOLE world....

And in a way you are....

The sense of community is so very strong sometimes...and the feeling I get of love is strong as well.....

I love it here.....the Lounge has my heart!

:grouphug:

[qnr]

15. Bite me.

Sorry, just HAD to throw a little discord in there. A thousand apologies.

[ZombieNixon]

17. Way to ruin the moment, qnr!

Why doncha go disrupt elshiva's and my hugfest in the Brokeback Mountain thread?

:spank: :hi:

[qnr]

19. oops!

:blush:

[ZombieNixon]

23. Go here.

Pour some vinegar on that. I'm series, it made my blood sugar lever rise, and with my family's historical predisposition to diabetes, that's not a good thing. :7

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. No worries, my dear qnr.......

I'm feeling the love so well, that your little "discord" bothers me not one little bit!

And actually I'm flattered that you picked on my post.

I accept your apologies.....but they were not needed.

:hug:

[qnr]

22. Whew ... that's good to hear, especially after I forgot the smiley

:hi: :hug:
