During the 2011 calendar year, in addition to smoking more cigars, Tuco will be writing all online posts in the third person.

During the 2011 calendar year, in addition to smoking no cigars, mtnbkr will be deleting any post by Tuco written in the third person. ;)

In addition to my usual New Year's resolution to never make New Year's resolutions, I will be ignoring the posts of Tuco and mtnbkr and writing all my posts in the first-person....even the ones I didn't actually experience in the first-person....

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

I resolve to be more tolerant of my fellow APS'ers and if DD and seeker_two want to come out of the closet and let their freak-flag fly, who am I to judge.







Ooops, sorry.  Too early, right guys ???.....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Can 230RN seek to be the second person to use the third person in 2011?  If he wanted two?

You log into APS and notice a thread on "Resolutions".  You figure it might be a thread about the new year variety so you click on it to see what everyone else is resolving.  Maybe you'll share about your commitment to lose 25 more lbs before your brother-in-law gets back from Iraq.

Instead it's a thread about various narrative styles, and you decide to join in with one no one has used yet.

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I resolve to be 1280 x 1024.  In the first person, no less.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
