Review of Caterpillars  Open in new Window.
Review by bob county Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)


Oh, yes Grasshopper.. or should I say caterpiller?
This smoothly writen tomb to Charlie raises the ultimate questions:
What is the meaning of life?
Who am I?
What is the difference between right and wrong?
Is there a life after death?
Where is God?
How many caterpillers are there?
Since the emergence of mankind the population has been increasing and
accelerating in third world countries. This deminishes the value of human
life in overburden impoverished nations. It also creates a toxic population
in the ecosystem.

One could argue that Charlie is better off dead.+
The caterpiller population is ballanced within its enviroment.
God remains silient..

Nice thread,

Very well done! Evolution to me means change. Why were there dinosaurs?
Where did the Neanderthal man come from? How does caterpillar change
into a butterfly? All of the chemical compounds in our bodies can be found
in the Earth. Is the Earth our Creator?

The problem with any theory is it can be disproved by another theory ..
Genesis was a creation theory, but it has many holes. Who was Kane's
wife? God let Kane live after Kane murdered Able.. and Kane found a wife
and made a kingdom.. Where did the wife come from? And where did all
the people of Kane's kingdom come from?

The God factor is impossible to explain in scientific terms. God's existence
is assumed by the existence of mirracles, like the missing link. But, isn't it
more reasonable to say there is a natrual explanation? Scientific inquiry would
stop, if God's works could not be questioned.

As I recall, the evolutionist's reason for walking upright; is that it freed the hands
to work with tools..

Were there dinasaurs in Eden?

Seth was Able's replacement... "because Kane's blood was cursed"
is sin inherited? How do you prove this Genesis' hugenics?

And Seth had a wife... and a tribe.. Did God create all these people?
Sounds like a crazy theory, deffinately not scientific.+

Another woman was stoned to death in Iran. She was cheating on her husband.
I guess a woman can't have more than one husband in Islamic theocracy?
A married woman can be castrated, according to the Koran. Would that make them
more faithfull? It's difficult to reason with religious beliefs. That's why the founding
fathers of the United States seperated religion from goverment. Riiiight?

Check out my piece: Islam or not?
You probably would find it amusing.

Review of Baby Boy  Open in new Window.

Ha! Reminds me of a fable.

A cat fell in love with a handsome yougn man and begged the goddess Venus
to change her into a woman. Venus changed the cat into a beautifull woman,
who the yougn man fell in love with. A mouse chanced about their wedding bed.
The yougn bride lepted on the mouse and devoured it. Venus was so disgusted
she changed the woman back to a cat.

Now, that's a recessive gene!

I am not sure which way this article is going.
I'm not opposed to idealism in ploitics. The problem isn't Christianity.
The problem is there is too much money to made from politics.
There is the weapons manufacturing lobby and those weapons are
not just for foriegn enemies, but domestic as well. And then there are
the domestic strife issues. That fill campagn fund drives. Abortion is
a two sided issue. If your opposed to abortion, then you shouldn't oppose
a larger welfare tax. What will become of these bastards?
I think if fascism comes to America it will be called Americanism.
And if anyone takes the time to research Jesus' lineage. They will find a black Jesus.
Jesus was not blond with blue eyes. So what?
Politics is a constant battle for harmony, between faith and the common good.
I prefer Zen.

Female sexuality is very mysterious. There seems to be a lot of night encounters.
I of course, being male I focused on one thing. Heh-heh.
I grew up with tow older sister and the first thing they were told about boys was?
Stay away from them! "I am not raising your babies!" mommsie said to my sisters.

So as I read this ryhm. I can't help but wonder if you want more than moonbeans.

Go and write

And let that page come out of you.
Then, it will be true.+

I not sure if that helps.
But, I did enjoy your poem.

Review of Mock Epic  Open in new Window.
Review by bob county Author IconMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (4.5)


Very True... sorry(ehm)possible. Reminds of a story about well at the worlds end.
If you drink from it you will never die. But, which well is it? And the horizon never ends.
Round and round you go sipping from wells.. You get the problem?

As far as your style goes; it sounds like an outline: third person narrative.
I like H.G.Wells first person; "I that the time machine would work, but would
I erase my history?" More engaging?

Here's useless piece of adhominon. I started telling stories as an Alter Boy.
The Alter Boys were being groomed for the Priesthood. The Nuns had us read
the lives of the Saints to inspire us. Welllll, I started telling erotic tales of the Saints
to my fellow horny Alcolites. They loved it. Sister Immeritus did not.
But, you can never please everyone.+

Anywho
Loved your Sci-Fi!

Review of To Laugh Like He  Open in new Window.
Review by bob county Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)


If we could laugh like Scrooge, we'd be commited to a mental hospital.
Has anyone considered what happened to Scrooges' Loan company?
He forgave all his loans. The bussiness went bancrupt. Did Scrooge
have a golden parashute? If he gave his money away, he would be homeless.
Would his nefew let him live with his lovely wife? Probally, not for long.
Dickens writes that Scrooge was a happy man and kept Christ-mass as well
as any other man. I guessing he kept his savings.

Love the ryme!

That's it. The moment is everything.
We live in the immediate past the future is only a memory.
When I started riding my bycicle, I discovered new places.
I rode to other nieghborhoods and met new people.
I rode to the beach and into the city. There were many bright lights
and traffic. I guess this was a seminal moment as I discovered the many
roads to take.

Nice Thread.

Do you understand that history is written by the victors?
At the Nuremberg Trials, the accused Nazi pleaded they were only
following orders. What they did to the Jews was genocide, but the Old Testament
is full of examples of God's genocide: the Great Flood of Genisis.
The Halocaust of Nazi Germany was legal, until they were defeated.
What is justice? WWII was fought to stop Nazi expansion. Roosevelt and
Churchill did not enter the war to free the Jews. Strange that you should call
Dictators and Emperors pathetic. They were ruthless killers, who ruled nations.
By what standard do you judge them? Are they not the law givers?
"What is Truth? Is it the changing law?"

I saw my cat Rusty eat a beautifull butterfly. It was disturbing, but natural.
Was the brutality of Saddam Hussien natrual selection? He fought for everything
he posessed. A self made ruler of Iraq. Well, he did get weapons of mass
destruction from George Senior. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Out of the pit. I saw fallen Angels, beings of beauty and strength. Now,
forever tormented by the fire of God's rath. I dared not pity them, less I be
loss as well." Dante's Inferno.

Is this the work of a loving God? Did you know Mohammed forbid his generals to
attack at night? "The Children of the Light do not hide in the darkness."
Strange how Mohammed's commandments have been ignored by Islamic Facists.
You would think they would respect their own Prophet's wishes.

So many leaves have fallen, how many will fall before there are no more?

Sweet middle Americana... Is there a middle Americana?
I have my DVD of the Andy Taylor Show.
But, all I see are "house for sale" signs.
11 trillion dollar deficit and jobs nowhere to be found.
Barney are you delivering papers?
Well, I guess I could sip some lemonade on the swing,

Life can be cruel. I don't why. Under a perfectly blue sky.
Is it our choice to sin? If sin exist, then do we act according
to our nature or habits? This is where sin lies. It is the lack of
love. Why does God allow it?

A strangely, polite and complacent poem.
I reminded of "Miss Bridges"an assigned book in highschool.
This house frow was so nice, she got trapped in her car in the

and helped her out of the car.

"The sun with one eye vieweth all the world.
Between two blades, which bears the better temper;
Between to horses, which doth bear bear him best;
Between to girls, which hath the merriest eyes;
I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgement;
But in these nice sharp quillets of the law,
Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw."

The instinct of retribution is part of the nature of man.
We search for meaning, paterns and a purpose to our lives.
When people believe that justice is for all, then the stability of
society can be maintained. But, this faith cannot free us from
the cruelty of a personal loss. People are imperfect and fail.


Your story is simply true.

Too cute. And this is a smooth read to a funny twist. I'm snapping five
stars. Hmmmmm.

I'm reminded of a simular inner city traffic tale. I'm stuck in traffic on
Somervile Ave. I guy jumps out of his car and beats the rear lights out
of an UPS truck, then he gets back into his car. The UPS driver must
have called the police. Shortly, a police car is blocking the intersections
as the light turns green. Well, all the other drivers start blasting their horns.
Meanwhile, I have a front row scene as the guy with bat is facing to policemen
with guns drawn. He throws the bat out his driverside window and exits his
car as per the police commands. He's handcuffed and his car is driven over
to a gas station just before the bridge to cambridge street. The light is
red. Many drivers are cursing the police. I am right in front and as quite as
a mouse. Hmmmmm, driving is an adventure.

Your has an ice cream simile. I like it's subtlety an irony. She is an
aloholic fan. Hmmm. I like vanilla and chocolate sundays.

I licked a chocolate cone
between the clothes lines.
The silken slip fluttered
in the summer breeze.
The lines went slightly taught
in the capricious summer air.
I felt the slightest bondage in her wears.

Ice cream dreams.

This is very primal. I like it. And you know how to construct a paragraph.
You know it's awfull, but most people don't care what other people do
just as long as they do it somewhere else. "It's not my problem." is the
motto today. I probably offend someone, but when Jesus was born an
entire town of babies was slaughtered to get him. God knew that would
happen.. Riiight? So, many terrible injustices are justified by the end
result: the Inquistion, Martin Luther's antisematism. I like how you made
the boy friend a doctor. The hypacratic oath can be interpreted many ways.
What is good for the majority, can be devasting for the minority.
The science of genetics for example. What if people can be
marked as good citizens from birth? Fiction? Someday, a very desperate
nation will start killing off their surplus population. Or is that today?
Stay tuned!

Review of Parenting  Open in new Window.
Review by bob county Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)


Ryhm and meter are excellent. It reminds me of Fr. Keen's sermons.
He would start with some kind of topic and then end up somewhere
else.
His sermon on parenting:

"What kind of parents did Hitler have?
Were they too strick or too lenient?
Did it matter?
Consider, the Looney Bird.
It lays it's eggs in other birds nests.
But, when it is grown it is still a Looney Bird.
Hilter made his choices in life as a man.
Whether or not his parents loved him
made little difference.
He was still a Looney Bird."

Lots of good stuff here. When to use a stick or read a book.
I fear people today are too quick to use a stick. I blame traffic.
You want to go somewhere and the yo-yo infront of you is too
slow or there's a traffic jam. The lack of common sence is
glaring in traffic. Did anyone read the driver's exam? This is
awfull, but true most people are just in the way.


Very fun read!

The ring is an oldy. A symbol of union and eternity.
Did you know the wedding ring comes from Germany?
Their was no such thing in the Old Testament.
Families wore tribal colors. Hmf?
Sounds like East L.A.
Anywho, I like the simple playfullness or your story.
There's an old movie; What If.
A tailor is given the power to have anything he wishes
by the God's. Well, everything goes topsy.

Well told by a girl. I think what signifies a woman is the ability to
accept the pimples on her man's shoulders. This yarn moves
slowly through the longing and pursute of.... a hunk. "Nathan had
a pretty face... his eyes wandered over her naked body." very smooth
writing. The first time I saw a naked woman; I thought her crack came
to her front. I was very young. Any-who, it didn't take me long to figure
things out. "It made her feel dirty. It was not him to be the one." that's
a chick thing. I like feling dirty. Heh.

Ahem. Fun read!

42-Aren't there five plot lines?
60-"heat developed in her groin"
You could say she felt whet.
62-Overly descriptive. Just say Kate was fustrated.
67-Yes! I remember mud fans.
70-Quinn's punchline, "If you were a man, I'd be puking!"
81-This just doesn't work. Quinn could say, "I have a hardy for you."
But Kate would still be ticked off.
Is this a highschool date?

Overall. It was fun.

Ho-hum word games. Reading this possession story reminds me of Catholic Catechism.
The Devil doesn't want to show himself. He wants to possess your desires. He will mimic
you and enter your fantasies. This is very close to the Native American Coyote, who is a
trickster. Coyote apeared to a hunter as a beautifull woman. The woman asked to enter the
hunter's tepee. The hunter slept with Coyote and awoke to find all his belongings were gone.
All about his home were Coyote' paw prints. It's easy to blame Coyote, but the hunter should
have been more carefull.

I just saw the Transformer movie. Awesome! I like the the fight seen
in the white birches. There's something liberating about beating a person
to a pulp in the woods. You just be yourself. The birds keep on singing
and air is heavenly. Traffic is fun. I like it when a sports car races up my
old pick-up bumper. I just wave them on. Chance are good they'll run out
of gas. Then, I can pick them up and beat them to pulp in the woods.

Just Joking!
I love the line "I felt like I had to reach to touch the bottom."
I get lite headed after I've beaten someone to a pulp. That's why I always
bring a candy bar. .. Heh-heh.. Joking!
