Default Re: OT - bored with gaming ? Get philosophy!

Upon consideration, the problem is likely that the lists of *onyms I have conceptualized do not agree with common usage. I am fortunate in this regard because this means I am indifferent to attacks which presume I know what is occurring. For example I experienced a mild prickling while reading at one site and finally realized with a laugh that the owner thought that I thought that I was "Superman" and was attempting to attack using "green kryptonite".

I *ve a *lly *tty *ch I *ll now *ll.
*rth is *lly *ven and *ven is *lly *ll.
I am not Popeye the Sailor Man, but Popeye is on the right track when he says :
I means what I says and I says what I means.

Edit : I reiterate, beware the English I use and ignore anything you may percieve as harmful. Upon consideration, this may be a brain teaser too difficult to try. I noticed the other day that the government has a new computer called "Deep White". See what that computer can do with the rhyme.
In the early 70s as I recall there was a song "When The Deep Purple Falls". That song would also be worth examining....

Edit 2 : I looked at the net again. Song lyrics, poems, speeches, practically everything is badly quoted. What the net really needs most of all is some quality control and write protection.

Oh well, I descend from high Opera to low Humor. Who has not yet been invited to laugh ?
I *ack patience and patience *acks me.
Rank hath its priviledges. The higher the rank, the ranker the privvy ledges.
For an English/ Scottish/ Irish engineer such as I, it is inevitable that locomotives will bump. Whose motives are more loco, those such as I, or those with one track minds ?
To misquote Star Trek :
**** it Jim, I am an engineer, not a *.

Wh* worms ? I hope the humor I gave has defused any hard feelings. I recall various worm stories, but have never ever done a worm/virus etc. on a computer so far as I know. The oldest worm story I recall follows :

Ooey Gooey World Worm, He Did Not Know.
He Sat Up On A Railroad Track, Ooey Gooey Worm!

I still have a problem with memory to prevent recall of many things. Now that I have had time to think, worm is write once, read many. This is an excellent method of write protect. It is better to have a slightly defective original than to have an amorphous blob.....

Okay, I considered "worms" and found many variations. The one I like best is :
Women! Override Ridiculous Menace's Smugness!
As in "Dennis the Menace". The override I agree to is a wedding ring to go along with the "Diligence Integrity Citizenship" ring I just put back on. Years ago I took the ring off. Who says sympathetic magic does not work ?
See Suzette Haydin Elgin "Yonder Comes The Other End Of Time".
Balancing the possibilities of fantasy and reality is a tricky task.
I am willing to call the bumpkin IEEE versus ivory tower ACM contest a draw.....
Any, Every, More, and All criticisms are welcome, SARGE.
I do not of course promise to obey, just to listen.
