Sanjiro Martinez and I were lounging in Charbucks when King Alfred II announced his plans for garden estate pyramids in the less fortunate areas of Great Britain and its former colonies.
But I could tell Sanjay had become afflicted by a stream of adverts. Usually he could make a little “please wait” gesture, but he was possessed and distant. We both suffered when this happened.
I had offered several times to help him pay for a sub to JackedPro or some other adblocker, but he kept telling me he would find his own way.
Eventually he said, “King Alfred’s cool.”
@divegeester saidOh come on. Please try to pad that out. Only 98 words to go. We all know you have verbal and/or linguistic skills. Have some bullet coffee if you feel your energy flagging.
How original.
@suzianne saidIf you step on the mat, you have to play, although I imagine you might already be formulating something. Doesn't have to be perfect. A little wabi-sabi, a little I-Ching of the moment or some other moment would be fine. Loose but could also be refined strokes, for the moment, not posterity. 🙂
Just hire him to be your PR man.
God knows you need one.
P.S. -- my post was not intended to set a theme -- let's invite a variety of themes.
@divegeester saidThe stone and the turtle are wetted by the same stream.
PR is for the prideful and emotionally brittle who lack stoicism and sufficient thickness of skin in order to stand tall in principled fortitude.
Leave the axis of brittleness in the past. It's okay.
@kevin-eleven saidYou show great promise Grasshopper.

@divegeester saidThus my post.

@suzianne saidWell ... I don’t feel the need to embellish my life profile with stories about being visited by celestial beings, while spending my time saving “countless” lives on the streets using CPR, while playing professional level live music in jazz bars, while crashing sexual molesters through “countless” bar tables using martial arts, while being abducted and held captive for two years....
Thus my post.
So much for “PR”.
@divegeester saidSo your life is boring AF and so you try to assuage your hurt narcissistic feelings and try to present yourself as a paragon of "principled fortitude" but no one buys it and so you lash out at people who are more interesting than you. You've spent your whole RHP career doing this.

Yes, you obviously need a PR man.
