This forum is depressing right now.

I am working on a plan to make most of us happier, but the beta version only works if anybody with the word Silver in his or her screen name is fed alive to lemmings and I figured you would be against that.

QuickSilver. Silver Tygre Girl. Umm… I know there are more.

So, hey, do whatever you want.

Oh, wait. Is your “anybody” singular, like just one Silver-named person will do, or is your “anybody” inclusive to mean EVERYBODY with a Silver name?

You’re confusing me and I don’t like that.

Zeus, but you’re high maintenance.

Yeah, well you’re… you know…

This forum is depressing because we are generally intelligent, aware, insightful people. As such, we understand that contentment, pleasure and joy are fleeting, superficial, and mostly without meaning unless they have been paid for with hardship, sadness and despair. Those are what is more likely life’s bedrock and its foundation.

The milk of human kindness, right?

Okay, now you’ve got me worried.

You may have either 37 minutes with a hookerbook or 89 perfect cookies. Your choice.

Hookerbook?

Like Xaviera Hollander’s autobiography?

I was distracted by pizza. I have enough to share, but I’m not gonna.

Good pizza too.

Did I tell you about the pain in all the diodes on my left side? [/Marvin]

There are tragic things happening, but there are good things too! EmAnJ is finally pregnant, for example.

The Doper world keeps on turning. Sometimes it helps me put my own shit in perspective, and I am humbled by the strength of others. Other times, the brazen silliness helps me to move along. It helps to be reminded of the good things.

I’m diabetic, so I’ll take the 37, thanks.

What what WHAT? I go away for a weekend and this place goes for poopy?
