I think I'll leave it at that. :)<BR/><BR/>Although I WILL leave you with a little sickening tidbit to take to work with you:<BR/><BR/>John's middle name was Winston, but later in life he changed it to "Ono."<BR/><BR/>It is to barf.<BR/><BR/>@a.-Please don't come right out and tell us what that name is; it would be so unlike you. Since you also remember the 1960s (a little) I will put that omission-and your continued abuse about my first and last ever post on your blog--down to the temperament that accompanies extreme old age.<BR/><BR/>Yummy indeed, I am. (Picture smiley face here.)<BR/><BR/>[Liverpool John Lennon Airport]<BR/><BR/>@William-How good to see you again, my friend! And how very cool that you too are a fan of this man's music! Of course I was already fully aware of your excellent taste in the finer things in life. :) <BR/><BR/>I must confess that I, too, thought you were pretty stuffy at first. But then your sense of humor made its dry appearance. It was then that I changed my opinion of you and was thereafter able to say, "Here is a really nice man, with a really terrible sense of comedic timing."<BR/><BR/>I am honored by your visit, Mr. DeVault.<BR/><BR/>@sassyfrass-Have you really? How cool! Post those pictures, sir. Or madam. (You sound like a lady, actually. And your overall tone is oddly familiar to me.) Are you of the Connecticut Sassifrai by any chance?

You're kidding me, right? I grew up with vinyl! I remember quite well going out and buying the latest single on a 45 RPM and playing it over and over until it either got scratched, bent, or cracked from overuse! I had an extensive collection of vinyl albums, too, though I sold them all on my last trek out of California lo those many, many, many years ago! Now I just own an extensive collection of CDs but the sad thing is, I can tell you all about when CDs first came out and the very first one I bought in 1985, or was it '84? I forget exactly! <BR/><BR/>Sir, I am flattered but I am also somewhat on the middle-aged side of things, if you would. However, all that said, I am still young enough to keep up with you!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-38108354383160807792008-04-27T11:43:00.000-06:002008-04-27T11:43:00.000-06:00@a.-I know you remember.

And I know full well, although you don't really talk about it, outside a section of your own blog, that the fire hasn't gone out in you. Tolerance is great; there must be tolerance if we are to get along in this world. But when we see wrong in the world, it must NOT be tolerated: evil must be confronted. Firmly. Proactively.<BR/><BR/>You are a treasure, dear little a.<BR/><BR/>@Linda-Ah, the fiery one returns. For a few seconds at least.<BR/><BR/>I think you are right about the song. We could have used you on the front lines. But you are such a baby. No memories of THAT, has she? Probably she doesn't even own any circular vinyl thingys with that little hole in the middle. So young and impressionable she is.<BR/><BR/>And yet she has the time to sling a parting barb at the innocent and pure Max. She talks a good game, but methinks she knows if she ventures TOO close to the MAX her avatar would look like she just had a perm, so hot he is. Just sayin'...<BR/><BR/>But big talk is ok, too. Max will take what he can get from the vermilion temptress. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-46071109405354669162008-04-27T09:15:00.000-06:002008-04-27T09:15:00.000-06:00This was the best song that John Lennon ever wrote...This was the best song that John Lennon ever wrote and performed, in my own humble opinion of course. Unfortunately, it's something that we all still only imagine - a world that lives as one in peace. <BR/><BR/>I think that like Lennon we are all dreamers of some sort. Of course, I get the feeling that you, Max, are dreaming of a different type of piece than Lennon was but still ... at least you're dreaming!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-36939319564618516622008-04-27T09:14:00.000-06:002008-04-27T09:14:00.000-06:00Those were wonderful days.

There are only 34 countries who acknowledge human rights to stateless people. so don't get me started!<BR/><BR/>oh yeah, and we have to get rid somehow of religion. i believe humans are intrinsically good. they don't need to live with the fear that some bearded guy will strike them if they don't "behave". <BR/><BR/>but maxie, isn't lennon sort of a commie, hmm? :-)Marmeladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711264064815670177noreply@blogger.com
