I was just thinking to myself, "Wouldn't it be ironic if HL and iamkim and U. Kimbote were all the same person."






Heh® You cross-cyber mantled me (though I'd never use the term "ironic": by birthright I don't know what it means).

Just a little cyber-happening; sock-puppet theatre; Porlockian dilatoriness.

I'm going to miss Kim Joo Chang.

Why don't you try staying away for a century or two to give us a chance to miss you?

Well, I can understand your disappointment. After all, you and Kim Joo Chang were said to have a relationship.

....and so so thank you say to my english... but don't you try to lie... ^ ^

you are flatter... is fawn over because i know that the English is very very poorly!

please be patient with me!

i want to it to you that thank you all for your endorsement.

So, so thank you... I am touched.

So, so truly touched.

But what is that feeling -- perhaps now -- that has begun to attend these words?


It is a creeping feeling of disquiet caused by the observable effects of a hidden cause.

An unidentifiable change begins to take place.

Suddenly, what was once unimportant, harmless, and meaningless seems pregnant with implication, threat, and meaning.

A group of familiar objects left casually on a table becomes an insoluble rebus.

A view you have looked at everyday without interest will suddenly hold out an indivious significance, just beyond your reach.

And always just beyond your reach, for when the true cause of an event stands outside the ambit of its perceivable effects, the a pripori deduction of particular effects from a general cause has no possible beginning, and the a posteriori induction of a general cause from particular effects no possible end.

U. Kinbote.




But you must admit, a gorgeous segue whoever wrote it.

You are a sententious bore.

(Aside): Probably chagrined Kim's last words were over his little head.

I got this immediately, though it was not familiar to me in that form. We would say: Beauty is skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone."

OK, just a formal note to indicate that (against my general preference) I shall henceforth switch off every voice and sock-puppet of this arsehole. I would prefer it if the board just ejected complete jerks like this.
