Well good,but now you’re here. Turn one of those thousands upon thousands of stars into a new goal. You obviously have no place in this world and desperately need to find yourself. Glue the mirror back together and start searching. Throw that s$\*! in the garbage and forget about it! Welcome to your new life. ---

I do not need to find myself. I found me a long time ago. I am the Insane/Enlightened Jester/Shaman. It’s a tough job. You obviously do not understand what it means to break the mirror. ---

My great great great Grandfather was Geronimo’s Shaman(Chiricahua), sometimes called by the Europeans Golden Eagle. It is good to meet you Insane/Enlightened Jester/Shaman. That is a strange name and a very long title. Do you know what it is to look inside yourself? Or perhaps to mirror another? Keep your curses, stay with them and be well. I will wish for blessings to relinquish your pain.🙂 ---

[quote=“DocCathode, post:80, topic:500761”] I have not insulted you. It is a fact that you lack self knowledge and a fact that you are insane. I _have_ visited other stars. I have seen the five faced tetrahedron. I live in a world of alabaster and basalt temples illumined by a thousand thousand stars.[/QUOTEY You are forgiven, now stop falling and rise anew. Away with the lamb, welcome the lion. Having said this you are healed(something different for everyone I guess. It’s hard trying to reach self proclaimed crazy people, but I suppose they’re still members of the family). ---

Oh, and get your face out of the fifth side of that pyramid(tetrahedron). It leads to dirt, wash your face. What a BBQ, the shrimp and ribs are almost ready and I’m chillin in the Jacuzzi! ---

I kind of doubt that **Doc** would be eating shrimp or (pork) ribs, actually. ---

My opinion is your attempt at surreality is amateur-hour compared to some of the material I’ve seen around here. Heck, there was a guy named justhink… classic. ---

So sad… Yes it is sad, this conversation was over by comment 57. The only reason I came back was to help the worst of you help yourselves, but you’re too busy taking biased potshots at me. Unfortunatley, I must leave you in the Pit for now, where you will continue to burn and kill each other. Live long and prosper. Peace- ---

Are you kidding? The internet is POWERED by this kinda crazy. This is word salad with a tangy thousand island dressing, which is the hamsters favourite snack. ---
