I'm about to undertake a great mystical experience.
I'm gonna watch the complete Duckman series.

I expect it to be a life-altering journey.

So what the hell are YOU staring at?

1. Enjoy your trip
Duckman is mystical, indeed. Cornfed, Fluffy and Uranus carry the lantern of truth

2. 'snappy' editing.
Edited on Thu Sep-30-10 10:53 PM by RandomThoughts
That is so great, anyone see the lady in pink in the 'it is always sunny in Philadelphia' TV show?


The Lady in Pink in that show always said the 'snap' also. As did the Pink panther.

It matched the theme from Pina Colada Song.

But mostly it reminds me of a day in a bar, a guy came in sad, his girl had cheated on him, and he was torn because he still loved her.

I remember commenting to him on something I thought on years before then. The women he loved was actually two women he loved one from his first image of her, the other from his current image of her. One was the person in his mind he thought she was, the other was the person he found out she was, as they were together awhile.

He loved the image of the view he had of the girlfriend, and that was what he wanted back, but in truth as he got to know her better he had to decide if he loved her also for her flaws and who she really is. I don't agree with people doing those things, but in an imperfect world, as we grow to learn of people, we also see some of their flaws, part of learning. So even if he was hurt, part of that hurt comes from the loss of the 'image' in his mind of who she was, not a change in who she was. From there he has to decide if the new image of who the person is based on more learning, is still the person he wanted to be with.

However, none of that takes away from the love he had for who he thought she was, for that was real in every moment based on his perception of who she was. He loved the construct of the person based on his best information, that does not change any of those past feelings. In some way it might be about the importance of learning who people are, yet still able to forgive, or move on, to find that feeling in the different image of who someone is, or another person.

Has concepts of ignorance is bliss, and also concepts of not being wrong for not knowing things when making decisions.


I thought the lady in pink episode of that show was really good. It was an excellent episode.



True story, had that exact conversation with one of the younger guys in the pool group, and had thought on that topic from a relationship I had when young also.
