This sub-thread here instantly brought to my mind that "Learn to Swim" song by Tool, one of my favourites...

(I "fixed" all the curse words in it, since I'm not sure what the "Acceptable User Policy" regarding such things is yet. In so many places the "Terms of Service" and the actual behaviour tolerance level of a forum will wildly differ...Apologies if I am stepping over the line here. And note it's not my usual habit to post song lyrics to fora, but this was just too perfect to ignore. It's a great song, music-wise, too.)



Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullsheet three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless faacking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any faacking time. Any faacking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in
Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullsheet three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless faacking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any faacking time. Any faacking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by fault-lines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipsheets.

Some say the end is near...
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will, 'cause
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid sheet, silly sheet, stupid sheet...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.

Mom is going to fix it all soon,
Mom is coming round to put it back
The way it oughtta be...

Learn to swim.

Faack L Ron Hubbard and
Faack all his clones.
Faack all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Faack retro anything.
Faack your tattoos.
Faack all you junkies and
Faack your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Faack smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Faack these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
Suck it down.
Flush it down.

I like long walks in the desert. Make sure to bring plenty of water.

We've got one right here -- the "One Glorious Profile" thread. A true labor of love, and snide commentary, too.



Well, for me, the "oh look down my shirt and see my boobs!" pics are laughable, at best. But I'm not a boob guy, so I don't represent most men....

I like short walkers on long beaches.
There's just something about "little people" contrasted against the setting of the vast ocean that I find philosophically and symbolically appealing.

but i like to wok on the beach!

(Black Pot Beach, Kauai)

=-=-=-=-=

All Kauai County campgrounds are located in beach parks. On the north shore you can camp at Haena Beach Park, or, if you want to be closer to the Hanalei shops and restaurants, at Black Pot beach on Hanalei Bay. Haena Beach camping is close to Tunnels and Kee, two of the best summertime snorkeling spots on Kauai. Black Pot offers calm swimming water on most summer days, and monster waves in the winter. (If you're wondering, Black Pot Beach Park gets its name from a huge black wok that used to be used for community cookouts at the park).

I assume there's a kettle in there somewhere.

That's a favortie scammer line...tell me exactly WHERE are the beaches in Kentucky?!
