Lucky Number 7: The New Album Thread
Very hard for someone whose user name is "silverjet". Sorry, I'm a bit slow, as usual. I don't see the connection between silverjet and listening to lyrics. Mmmm, is it implying something like "quick on the uptake"…

Lucky Number 7: The New Album Thread
I congratulate anyone feeling happy after listening to it. :D There's a trick: don't listen to the lyrics too closely.

What are you listening to now?
Imelda May - "It's good to be alive". I think I've found another group that I may like as much as Goldfrapp. Knockout. And, so far, she hasn't missed on a single song. I just hope I can find her in the U.S.

That is one of the most fascinating things about Goldfrapp, for me. The polarization of the lyrics that are often sad or downright angry fused with music that is so light-hearted. "Happiness" is a perfect example. Such light, happy musi…

Well replied, Sartori. The poor guy doesn't even see the point (pun not intended?), really. Tell him to exercise his Kegels for a good, long while. Maybe his lady won't require a vibrator.

Well, today, I'm more bouncing off of the walls, UT.

I am assuming WW, that this is a facetious comment as it is posted on the forum that was down??? In that kind of mood, UT.

Happy 2015!!!
It just still shows that our culture is still repressed when it comes to the human body. Couldn't say it better. If a 56 year old man, with children, removed his shirt and showed his nips. Ewww!

And, isn't that sad? I am now certain that we can do better and be the advanced species we've always perceived ourselves to be. And, yes, Pet, that includes men. Our intelligence is the necessary vehicle of our further evolution. Right…

"One thing concerning Monarchies (interestingly enough, worldwide) I've always been fascinated with is the idea that, at least, there was an attempt to encourage good manners and all of the redeemable values of humanity and wondered if I…

^ I don't think I've received email of that sort. That is another interesting thing about the phenomenon (though I'm guessing it's also just not used outside of the U.S.), the emails only get sent to those of similar views - …

The Second Amendment
Gotta say, UT, that's pretty crazy. So, if someone breaks into your house, you are supposed to stand aside and say, "take what you want"? Is there supposed to be any other recourse? I'm guessing it is call the police.

Right! The monolith! I had forgotten all about it. What I'm thinking more of, though, is the idea of some of these monstrous events in distant space, such as hypernovae (not a real good example), that are not easily explained finally dawning…

America is owned by the lobbies and the corporations and industries that fund them. The gun manufacturers being among the most willing to spend, as well as having a huge contingent of people who love their guns and their "freedom". Funny…

This board is such a broad church ! Broad church, indeed, UT, if I understand the phrase. And, well put.

Conspiracy Theories
Isn't that the basis of 2001: A Space Odyssey? That's a film based on a short story, but there must also be novels on the theme."2001: A Space Oddyssey" is not about discovery of a alien species at all, right? It's about…

Right, Kat, Cuba. My response on that would so negatively reflect on my view of the U.S. that I'll let it pass. If you mean, alien, like from another planet, it sounds like those sensationalists magazines that are finding aliens playing cards…

Geez. and I was about to ask if they dubbed in English for American movies in Britain. When I was a kid, I pronounced ready as raydy and egg as aygg. I'm sure there were some other disasters but those were the ones I remember. Now, that I�…

Best wishes for her recovery, HJ. And, hope you are feeling better soon. With the new year would be excellent timing. Maybe it can help lift your spirits.

@pet I'm glad you conveyed how my comment was construed because I need to clarify. While it has some of the characteristics of a soap opera, it's not nearly as bad. And, I agree, that there are enough of depressing things in real life t…

Kat, awhile back you asked what the folks across the pond thought about something. I can't even think of what the exact subject was but, when I read this article, your question came to mind. What I think is that, between Putin getting backed …

Have any of y'all watched Downton Abbey? It's quite popular in the U.S. I rather enjoy it in most instances, even though it seems like a soap opera in many ways and has some depressing qualities. Anyways, I was wondering, since it is se…

Ah! That does help! I understand what the expression means and respect it. It was just the trembling of the upper lip that I didn't catch. Makes sense now. I guess I'm a bit simple on these things. I even had to have someone explain …

So, what's "a stiff upper lip" supposed to mean, anyways? I mean, I know what it is supposed to describe, chacterwise, but why? What's a stiff upper lip have to do with it? I mean, have you ever tried to make your upper lip st…
