Tear up the rule book and write their own.

Besides, it is completely, totally correct and in comport with the old book. Backwards compatibility, you might say.

Good sir ! Merry Christmas.

Needed one em slug before the exclamation point, according to the old book.

and had to watch the whole thing before I realized that Eden only exists in your heart.

You cannot get there, or go there, you have to be there.

I am there, it is Christmas.

by santeewelding

There is no imperative about it, other than your observation about not being able to get there, or to go there, and -- I add -- coming from, there being no "there" to it.

Thou art that.

the snow continued to fall, MJ held tight to the bag that held the bottle to uncork when he finally made it to the party but where was it?

They said it was just off TR Parkway, near the TR Town hall, where had he go wrong, bent against the wind, he looked into the GPS screen, as the battery went flat.

With a mild sigh, Michael Jay drew his cap around his ears. Tugged at his gloves. Stashing his GPS in his pocket, he headed for the corner hoping to spot neon, at least street signs and better light.

MJ followed slowly like a hipster at a funeral, dang he said to himself what happened to that book Santee gave me last year.

by michael jay

it was a while ago, many years ago it seems sometimes.

You did the following;

Pressing quickly into Michael's hands a gilded manual on grammar, style, and panache, smudged with fingerprints from dirt of the forge.

Whereupon, he hustled without a word on ahead, hatless, head bent low against the driven snow; ahead to the sound of community and laughter.

But sadly MJ lost that book, and still can't wright for crap.

Wheelwrights, farriers, smiths, and other sordid, manual, blackened sorts have never been known for -- nor, have left anything of meaning behind -- in the way of what all ought to do.

Don't worry about it.

Press on.

Qua?
Pasa is raisin, or kink, or channel...
But qua... no echo.

Lots of hits for "qua pasa" though.

An older guy.

Us older guys, we have nothing to prove.

I come upon that -- "prove" -- a lot here. I have nothing to prove. It is the vernacular of those who do.

You are getting older enough to not to have to worry about it.

Cut loose.

This time of year, the nisse-folk are active.
They're old scandinavian parallels to the hob. I swear I saw "qua", but I see now, I didn't.
Better leave some treats out.
One word for these yardwarders is "tomt" which also means "plot" as in the land one builds a house on. Shows their origins. Hence, plotters.
It's also obvious why they live in houses... see, they turn to stone when the daylight strikes them, any farmer will show you their bodies as the plow finds them, new ones every year.
But coming up under the house they're protected, and take up residence.

Is up the creek, but the point remains.

Thanks for a good year, and many more to come.

Happy Holidays.
I went there, yes I did. But in all seriousness, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night/beer/wine.

I cannot refudiate that. I'm thankful to have met so many nice people on TR and even for with Chad.

Oh, the week before Christmas, I better get busy. So much to do, I'm getting kinda dizzy. :p

Merry Christmas! Live long and prosper.
