The Dreaded but Inevitable Thanksgiving thread

[imthefoolonthehill]

:-) you guessed it. what are you thankful for... be as corny as you like.

[mono]

This thread starts a contest: who can sound the most cliché?
Regardless, I feel thankful for my family, in general, and the girl I love, being happily in my life. For less tangible concepts, I feel greatly thankful for the ability of creating art, and sharing it with close others.
How was that?

[mono]

Oh, I almost forgot - to all those who celebrate, as I know we have many international members, I wish a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with joy.

[Bongitybongbong]

I'm thankful Jay asked, "thank who"?

[Jay]

Hey someone has just agreed with me or I'm seeing things in my old age? :)

[Scheherazade]

One can be thankful to her/his friends for being there...

[Jay]

Yeah, but... you see, if people are thankful... I don't know, for having won a rather big amount of money and feel thankful, who are they to thank to? That kinda thing

*edit* oh btw, *hugs Scher and baddad*

[Scheherazade]

whoohooooo!
I got a hug, too!

You can be thankful to whoever has given you the money? Lottery officials?

[baddad]

*singing*

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces coming out of the rain
No one remember your name
People are strange

*stop singing*

[Jester]

hmm reminds me of a very short story i worte a couple years ago... still have very little idea what is actually going on but hey othe rpeople liked it

[Jay]

When you find out what's going on... lemme know? Pretty please?

[Jester]

it was something about a theory that the dead turns into the ocean spray, foam ont he sea and theres this one guy who comes back from the dead and dnaces on the beach just before a storm.... soemthing like that

[subterranean]

what's that gotta do with my song?

[Jay]

I asked... and I gotta say I misunderstood Jes

[subterranean]

*confuse*...

better? *s10cr*

[baddad]

what's that gotta do with my song?

*singing subs song*

"When your, stra-a-ang"

*Note to self: ask jester about that wicked sounding story i.e. ex-dead guy, shimmer dance on the beach bdfore the storm*

[Jester]

what do you want to know about it baddad?

[subterranean]

better? *s10cr*


No...but nevermind about it...i'll figure that our later, when i'm more "sober"

[baddad]

Jester: Love the ethereal nature and visual concept that popped into my head when I read your first description of the story. See a wraith of a man dancing defiantly before and under a darkly blackening/ threatening sky. It screams defiance, pure willpower on the part of the deceased overcomes death, defys the powerful waves buffeting our lives, the "human condition".

[baddad]

Jester.....Post script: Don't want to plagarize your work......so I'll ask permission. Check out the line under my avavtar...problem for you?

[Jester]

hmmm cool.... i haven't read that story in about a year now... bt what im reminded pretty close, except the dancer is alive (solid)....

[baddad]

uhhh....jester, i thought the dead turned to sea foam, and the dancer was one (dead person) who returned periodically to dance.....or thats what I 'p-e-r-c-e-i-v-e-d.

[Jay]

Share baddad's opinion about the dead guy, didn't understand too well about the other guy

[Jester]

oh.... hmm... no problem wiht the message under avatar Baddad... lets if i can try this again...

The guy enjoyed being dead but was sent back to world of living and so he dances every night along the beach before an approaching storm, beckoning the sea spray to come to him and the foam and sea spray dances around him... when you die you become the foam and sea spray on the water but this guy after having expeierienced that (he felt freedom or whatever can be percieved by the story) wants to go back and dances on the beach to ask for his return...... bystanders label him insane

[Jay]

So something like some people enjoying things majority considers 'unenjoyable'?

[Jester]

um something like that... i think i was really playing with the idea of insanity and what people might think and of course with the unknown...

[Jay]

Really getting interested in that story Jes... would it be possible looking up the author and the title of it?

[baddad]

oh.... hmm... no problem wiht the message under avatar Baddad... lets if i can try this again...

Too cool for words! exssssss-salent!!!

[Jester]

[baddad]

*Holds Jester's arm up in the air so the crowd can cheer the champion*

thanks for the vision, and my avatar sig.

[Jester]

no prob... always glad to inspire, help, contribute....

[Jay]

REALLY? I hope you have it archived somewhere... would it be possible to read it? PLEASE?

[Jester]

where would i post it?
i have it opened on my desktop, third draft (shoot forgot to put a date on it....)

[Jay]

General chat would do... or you can PM it to me if it's ok with you.
