Ha! Atleast you had snow. Just to tease us they would throw instant mashed potatos on the ground and watch us get excited and then spray water on it.

Instant mashed potatoes and paint! Even these rocks you are talking about. What luxeries! We could only dream about such things. That is when we were allowed to dream. Heck, the closest to dreams we ever had were the hallucinations from being used as test animals for various ailments from the common cold to the ebola virus.

Rocks? Back in my day, there were no rocks, in fact there wasn't any land! It was all water. And dirty, polluted, muddy water as well! And we liked it that way!
And there weren't any chimps either. The only animals we had were fish that only had 1 eyeball and they couldn't even afford a dorsal fin! But you never heard us complaining, no sir!

Water! Animals! We never knew such things exhisted! No sir. Not us. We lived ontop of a mountain that was too poor for snow or fog. No sir, just us and our dirty mountain. And we liked it that way. We once thought we saw a bird, but in reality, it was just a group halucination. Yes sir. We were damn happy with that day, and we never complained. Not one bit.
What!? You guys had a planet? You must be the luckiest people alive. We just spent eternity tumbling through an infinite void. There was nothing to do but sing 99 bottles of beer on the wall. No one knew what beer or a wall or a bottle was but we sang anyway, and we were happy to do it, until now. A planet. You lucky sunz-a-bee-atches.

What! You get to sing! Miss "I am a princess". Back in my day there was no singing! Just some fat guy in spandex eating greasy chiken
mmmmmmmmmm greasy chicken, if we could have only watched someone eating greasy chicken. Ha, we were forced to watch Saturday Night Live, the new ones, not the original crew, while having our razor sharp aardvark dung underwear pulled over our stubs for heads in an atomic super wedgie, only we had no name for the atomic super wedgie because the President wouldn't allow it.

Watch! Watch!!!! Ok Mr. king-of-the-world, we could only wish we had eyes to watch anything. Oh, it would be a dream come true to watch paint dry. If we had eyes or even paint! Hell, we had nothing but darkness and damnit we were happy about it!

OOOOOhhhhhhh, to have just had the leeeeaaaast little iota of darkness and damnit! All we had was a smothering jelloey slime engulfing us at night and "heavens to betsy", and an occasional "darnit" every other Thanksgiving if we were so privileged.

Ooohhhh kept bragging at least you had some darkness and slime. Well i had nothing absolutley nothing and just when i thought i had that i realized i didn't even have that.
I've posted this before--it's a Hindu concept. I didn't realize there were so many Hindi around here...
Neti, neti (Not this, Not that)
I dwell within a reality
Which is everything,
And dream an illusion,
Which is nothing.
However . . .
If ‘nothing’ can exist in awareness
As a comprehensible possibility,
Then in fact it must be something;
And, if that something
Which is nothing
Exists without form,
Then that nothing
Which is something
Must exist
With neither edge nor boundary.
Therefore it may be shown
That that nothing
Which neither can be differentiated
Nor separated from any other nothing
Might in fact,
Only unveil itself within awareness
As Everything.
I dream a reality
Which is nothing,
And dwell within an illusion
Which is everything.

Atleast you get lobsters. Up here in Canada, we have snow year round and have to walk 12 miles in sandals to get to school, uphill in the middle of a blizzard with 14 feet snow drifts. So count yourself lucky that your lobster is atleast WARM!
Now you'll have to excuse me while a chop off another toe lost to frostbite :mad:

If we were lucky we could find some whale poop and make glue to put our limbs back on, but this normaly meant swimming to the bottom of the ocean which is hard to do with no legs, but we were a lot tougher back them before all this MTV and Britany Spears hullaballoo.

Atleast you have open water, Up here in the winter, when we want food we have to chew through 4 feet of ice on the lake with out teeth, go in for a dip and catch what fish we could. Comming out in 40MPH winds would freeze you to an icecle withing seconds. We had to burn dog poop in order to thaw out enough to walk back home. Like i said, atleast you can stay warm!!

We never had such creatures, we used to take turns dressing up as a dog using the hair we shaved of grandma's back. Some of my fondest days were talking my brother for a walk and watch him get mounted by a pitbull. Oh yes the screams and cries, it still brings a tear to my eye.

Shave? Shave?!? In my day we didn't such fancy thingamajigs as razors and blades. We had plenty of screams and cries as we had to grow our hair out and then have it pulled out! We screamed and cried when it happend and we liked it that way!

No dogs yet you have a pittbull? Hmm. Atleast you have a brother. We had to eat ours one winter, we had worn out our teeth chewing the ice and could not do any fishing. If i remember right, he was a little thin and we could only get one decent meal out of him.

IcE Cubes what are these Ice cubes you talk about? Sounds like a rich mans tool to me, our winter was what we now call the great Ice Age, I could tell you how cold it was but the hun stole the numbers and tempreature had not been invented yet. We huddled around nothting to keep warm and were neither in the ocean nor land, we were just in nothing, this was well before those cockamamy scientist created names for everything.

Wow, you had a waist. We used to dream of having a waist. We were just heads in jars filled with liquid. We just wished for one waist to share. You had dark? We wished for dark. All we had was pain and no-pain. You guys are lucky.
