I'm officially odd . . . . . .

Ddean . It is the curse of the unimaginative to misunderstand all that is unknown to them . It is the curse of the imaginative to try and explain things to them. Give up . Have a cold one and full steam ajhead .

Their is no-one more imaginative than the unimaginative . They imagine they have an imagination .
Am I strange ?

Oh, Steely:

You can listen to the voices.

Just don't do what they tell you........

I have many, many hobbies that draw stares and riased eyebrows .

As long as you don,t raise stares and draw eyebrows you,ll be just fine .

You must be a good shot to hunt carp with an Atlatl ?

When you are given a inkblot, pick a number of them and stick to the same answer; mine was. "looks like a Queen who loves me"

i read something about "when forced to take such tests", inform them that you have read on the internet HOW those tests work, in particular, the various ink blots. why? because there is no RIGHT answer. they are interpretive, and can be slanted any way they want. often to your pain. so, apparently by telling them that you have fully researched it, the method is invalidated - the REAL ink blots used are "highly secret" and the general public isn't supposed to have access - they're online though if you dig, as are "representitive samples"...

the drawing thing can be attributed to not having any art skills :> worked for me. "sorry, i prefer illustrator"...

I have many, many hobbies that draw stares and riased eyebrows when I'm out and about. Wearing a kilt while enjoying a pint of beer with my girlfriends daughter while she does her homework at the local brewpub draws quite a few comments from everybody. That's one of my favorites. Hunting carp with an atlatl draws a few stares as well.

dude. kilts rule. all of them, but i'm partial to utilikilt :>

where'd you get the atlatl from? catch anything? i've been considering buying one, but i've recently gathered the materials and will try making a few.

My MMPI experience. When my wife was disgnosed with a possibly fatal illness some years ago, I got a little down. The Company sent me to be shrunk as part of an otherwise routine annual physical. MMPI. Conclusion: I was depressed. Imagine that.


While I had access to the shrink, I asked if Mother Theresa would be regarded as mentally healthy. He said she was "certainly not. She is dillusional - thinks God communicates with her."


I also found that many shrinks can determine if an event happened based solely on the statments of a patient -- or person being examined for purposes of court testimony. Others might need some evidence to test the statements of the "patient." The shrink needed no such verification. He could tell.

Q: "Wouldn't you want to know if the President of Ohio Bell was even in the U.S. on the date when he supposedly confronted and threatened the patient?"

A: "That is not necessary."


"Dillusional"?

I think it was the MMPI my wife told me used to label Christians as psychotic- but they've adjusted that.

The profession of psychiatry certainly attracts some oddball characters. There was another one besides the two I've mentioned involved in my court drama. As you are probably aware there are exceptions to the hearsay rule of evidence for physicians. This one, although he had never met me, much less tested me, filed papers with the court accusing me of a number of heinous crimes. He was a Yale grad and former Yale faculty. After my court drama was over (it took a couple of years) I filed a complaint against him with the state Medical QA board and he lost his license to practice medicine. Turns out Connecticut had kicked him out a few years earlier and my state never got around to removing his license to practice here.

He caused a lot of damage to others besides me. He carried no malpractice insurance and left a number of victims in his wake. He preyed on the mentally ill and the weak, addicting them to drugs and sexually abusing them. Since his victims are mentally fragile, they won't press charges. I filed reports on him with the county prosecutor, municipal police, and the DEA, but none of those agencies would touch him.

At least he's not seeking mentally ill victims with the tacit consent of the state licensing agency any longer. From what I hear he's unemployed and living with a girlfriend the last few years, considerably poorer.

Two legs good, four legs bad.

two leg, four leg good. six leg or more bad......

tho they still taste like chicken.

On a side note. Here is a photograph of a trip Sir Eggbert Cauliflower and I took to the Great Pyramids last summer

i like sir eggbert's kilt. the colours are fantastic, and the headstones on all them burials are very decorative as well. i can almost hear the muezzin in the background, but then i've still got my eyes open.

You, sir, are quite insane....although you did make Sir Eggbert blush (He think's he's wearing an Easter dress).

Took a test not long ago.
Among other things,
I'm told I "have strange ideas." . . .

I'm not worried.

Is that strange?

Depends on what the ideas are. As said in holy documents (WKRP in Cincinnati) if you hear a voice claiming to be God telling you to play golf, that's fine. It might even be a gift. Now if it tells you to climb a tower with a rifle, perhaps you should worry.

Here's what a Radio MD has to say on the subject.

If you forget where you left your car keys, that's normal.
If you forget what the're used for - dimentia!

You may be officially odd, but it seems that I am now officially old. For the past few weeks everyone in town is saying stuff like "I already gave you the senior citizens' discount." or "It's nice to see an old guy can still smile!" (one of my 15 year old students). Or my favorite, "Ya know, yer not bad for an old fart!" Gheeesh! It's enough to give a guy a complex! Then I can be old and odd!!!

 

[Steely_Gunz]

Don't sweat it, JN. Insanity, like a good wine, gets much better with age. However, like wine and all things natural, insanity eventually sprouts bat wings and flies around the house spewing lies and telling your secrets.

Has anyone seen my big net?
