You know that scene in Easy Rider when Billy and Capt America are at the commune and everybody is sitting in a big circle (the camera is in the middle) and the camera does a slow counter clockwise pan on all the members of the commune and then the one guy says a heartfelt prayer? I LOVE that scene. All hail Laslo Kovaks!!

That's really bizarre that you mention that scene.  A few nights ago I was flipping through the channels and noticed Easy Rider was on.  I haven't seen it in maybe 25 years so I tuned it.  That scene was on; I watched it and then changed the channel.

I turned it after the murder scene.

9 years ago today I had brain surgery.

First things I said when I came out of surgery:

"Do I look sexy for my wife?

 

And then, as they were trying to put me into the CAT scan:
"Weren't you just in there?"

Congrats on the anniversary!

One of my favorite Poe poems, yessir:   Annabel Lee

BY EDGAR ALLAN POE

It was many and many a year ago,
   In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
   By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
   Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
   In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
   I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
   Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
   In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
   My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
   And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
   In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
   Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
   In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
   Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
   Of those who were older than we—
   Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
   Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
   Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
   In her sepulchre there by the sea—
   In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Way back in the Stone Age when I was in junior high we had to recite from memory some number of lines of poetry. I memorized all of Annabel Lee and can still recite most of that sucker. Actually that was a really stupid assignment, but it was a fairly easy poem to memorize because of the strong rhyming pattern.

Amazing as in "this satirical piece of news is fairly amusing"?

Amazing, as in "I laughed my little tushie off whilst reading that news satire."
