anyway, I want to thank the beavers for a most amazing birthday. Thanks for coming to dinner and to the bar. To bad you missed me pass out later on.... kinda funny

i'm thinking

hmmmmmm

I like stories. Tell us another one.

the "tree of knowledge" has taken on many different paradigms throughout the ages. Generically speaking, it has come to represent challenging God's all-knowingness. until we get into a real philosphical debate with God, I can't see that metaphor taking much meaning.

I like to think that the tree of knowledge represents humility - admitting that your not as smart as you think you are. If you think you can solve the world's problems, then you better quit the klan and rethink you view of the world. Hitler tasted the tree of knowledge. He hung himself in a bunker.

I think it's funny when someone says they are smarter then me. It is only then that you can tell how stupid they are. Knowledge in not infinite however. Knowledge has many finite ends. knowledge is something that makes you smarter, but it never really makes you smart. life is full of a bunch of stories. do people even like stories anymore?

best of 2002: the lips don't deserve it. wilco deserves it, but not for another twenty years. maybe steve earl.

All Rednecks have some degree of intellect, therefore there are varying degrees of redneck intellectuals.

Finally Matt! You have realized that "Truth is a hopeless illusion." Now you can deal with reality as it is right now! Don't pursue truth, it is illusory. The "pursuit of Truth" implies that once you have discovered it, you can stop looking. We don't live in an environment that allows us to stop thinking. Being human means that we never get wise. That is the important point that the redneck is trying to show us.

For those who do want to sharpen their intellect, all paths lead into infinite complexity, and those are their for us to PLAY in. We PLAY with our thoughts, but it is important to realize that there is no end point.
Be a redneck. Be beautiful.

do red-necks know anything about intelectualism?

Mer de Noms translates to Sea of Names in French. That is the title of A Perfect Circle's superb 2000 record. I dreamed I was a french intellectual last night.

Joe, thanks for the heads up. I look forward to it

we also talked about the pending war, world hunger, ummmm.... we were attempting to save the world. I want to thank the Colonel for staying as late as he did... it helped us to get one step closer to our goal. Eric is quite the pool player by the way... don't ever let him fool you.

I think you have stunned us all with that one, Matt. Good one.

We were talking about Soul Mates last night. I don't think we have soul mates, but maybe each one of us is a soul mate, in the Australian sense of the word.

'Ello mate!
'Ello Guvna!

Soul Guvna's!

No, it wasn't. "You're a superstar. At the gay bar." That is the funniest shit I have seen in quite awhile.

Welcome back Joe, to the land of the living (and the standing). What's new at work these days?

Matt in your dream about alison was the elvis costello song alison playing in the background?

where has matt bright disappeared to? haven't seen him post for a few weeks. Matt Bright-if you're out there... give us a sign.

oh yeah... what i want is for eric to show up on my birthday.

well colonel, I thank you for the hint. What do i want for my birthday? Well, Let's seee... i really just want to hang out with my friends and have a good time. If somebody wanted to take me out to dinner, that would be okay too. 8-)

Shut up, fatass.

I've found a song that explains how I feel about Mike Mann. It's called The Way You Say Goodnight, by the Magnetic Fields. The particular line I'm thinking of goes:

You've got a devastating point of view
and everything you say is true.
You're beautiful
beautiful

Also, the line "How come it's always dark when you're around?" is apt.

And Monica, my dear, you can see who is who by checking the Team section and looking at which e-mail address is attached to which name. That'll explain who is who. So you birthday is the 13th (What kind of bad luck number birthday is that)? Do you want something girly, like hand lotion for your birthday?

I think I had a dream with Alison in it last night. Except is was not the real Alison, but a nice version of the real one. Weird.

I'm Erik Cartmann. Who the hell is Monica Maher?

I"m lost. Who the hell is Erik Cartmann? I need warning when you fellas decide to change identity.
