The person below

dyslexius · 08-12-06 01:22:26

Whenever I witness an adult learning something from a child, especially when the child is their own.

What makes our cultures different?
(or, conversely, if you prefer...)
What makes our cultures the same?

Ooops, Siobhan, I think we just slipped a thread.
Elf, you'd be amazed the extent to which I sometimes
feel that way!

You're American and consequently don't have a culture.

The person below thinks that Siobhan is a man.

blissed · 08-12-06 02:08:10

Oh yes us British have always been more sophisticated what what

That would be someone with extraordinary psychological problems

I think If you look at her new avatar, Siobhan has very definitely got it going!

The person below can tame ferocious wild animals with their mere presence . How do you do it, what is so special about you that sets you apart so that your worshipped by hordes of devoted followers that hang on your every word, for it is you the great wise one of which I speak that I may kneel before you and give praise that you walk among us to do your wondrous work, oh wise one pray, do tell of all that we must do to please just you.

I've told you before Blissed. Get a grip.

The person below would not bother to correct 'riens' to 'rien'.

I have no time for pesky grammar, spelling whatever.

The person below was convicted for tresspassing at the Queens house (can't right now remeber what its named). They were having an affair with prince charles but because of their integrity they choose to take the wrap instead of revealing prince charles secret.

Cate · 08-12-06 03:38:06

Welll now that he's soiled his own reputation I'll confess he used to wrap me in yarn lick my ear whilepretending he was a kitten.

The person below wears their jakets inside out and doesn't know it

That was just once, the first time I tried tequila. Now I don't drink at all, because it really hurts when you do the same thing with your shoes.

The person below met a celebrity before the person was a celebrity.

The_Elfman · 08-12-06 11:50:36

I played a charity gig with Billy Connolly in 1970 when he was still playing small folk clubs for £40.00 a night.

The person below smells.

bolero · 08-12-06 11:58:18

I shower every day, when I get up, when I go to bed, before meals, after meals and in between meals. It's not me that smells, its the air around me and it's laced with boysenberry wine and honey filled apple juice. Sooooo the person below loves the smell of the person above.

blissed · 08-12-06 23:12:39

Well it's a bit strong when you post directly underneath him, but it's OK from here

The person below takes a guitar with them on their morning commute to work, which they strum while singing to other passengers, who usually smile embarrassingly, only to turn to a feeling of fear and entrapment as you shower them with very loud abuse, only to turn to relief when you start talking to yourself and burst into tears and start singing again.

I've seen this person, he was on the bus yesterday. Can't wait to see who's below him

blissed · 09-12-06 00:31:38

only me, and I'm not mad....

It's the person below you've gotta worry about.

The_West_Wind · 09-12-06 03:25:49

Funny you should say that.
I have come close to madness many times. Thankfully I saw who bad it can get when you actually snap and I came to my sences pretty quickly.

Here was one story.
Last year I spent my birthday in Melbourne. As much as I love it, it's reputation for affordable mental health servicesmust have been a lie. I was heading out to a mates place when this guy sitting across from me on the tram starts having a circular conversation with himself. Something about the government using gameshows on tv to regulate the inteligence of the public and stop people from getting richer which is why he was so poor. And then he would finish the conversation and start it from the top again.
At the train station, some guy accused me of stealing his immaginary bike (security didnt do jack about it). He found it "chained" to a pole, where he had originally left it.
But it didnt end there. On the train was this bloke who looked like he was coming off the wrong end of a bout of schizophrenia. He was one I couldnt forget. He had a vacant look in his eyes as he stood at the door of the train I saw a trail of cuts down the torn sleve of his shirt, and in the palm of his hands there were three saftey pins hooked into his flesh. The train ride was about 40 minutes and I dont think he blinked once.

The person below me can sing an entire sea shanty (and knows how the song really goes).

You can't blame the mental health system for people having disorders like that. They can't be cured. 20 years ago those people would have been in asylums where they don't 'bother anybody'. The state government decided they'd be better off living in the community. Whether or not they are, you'd have to talk to the health professionals who look after them. They can be scary but from my experience on public transport, they are not the ones you need to worry about.

The_West_Wind · 09-12-06 04:04:18

Yeah, I heard about that.
Hey, did you know that in the early history of nursing, that nurses were once recruited from asylums. They had no training to do their duites and were paid in alcohol. Just be thankful that you were born in this day and age.

So what was the sea shanty you could sing?

bolero · 09-12-06 04:04:39

No, its the conductors on trams and the drivers on buses, especially the drivers on buses

blissed · 09-12-06 04:25:47

So do they go back in the community and drive a bus Oh my!!

You forgot to state the nature of the person below you.
Who likes cheese, Raspberries and peas.

The person below also likes cheese and peas but not cheesy peas.

Calenture · 09-12-06 15:11:38

I do not like peas. Hence I am not the person below.

It may be that you have created an endless loop from which there is "No Exit".

I've seen "DonnieDarko", and I think I understood its implications for time and space. There's your existentialism AND giant rabbits.

The person below could be thesis, or on the other hand, antithesis, but in no way synthesis.

blissed · 10-12-06 22:44:01

I don't mind a threesome, thanks for suggesting it

The person below is in love with the queen of England and not in a healthy way either, but in a OMG!! I must see somebody about this type of ugly fetish!!. Please calm down!! for gods sake!! If you don't tell anyone, nobodies gonna find out, theres no reason to be so embarrassed about it so just chill and feel at ease with your own sexuality, even tho it is totally disgusting, Anyway, if your nice to me I'm certainly not gonna tell anyone.
