Yabbut, how do you explain away the other 364 days around here?

So look, I've finally found a plausible explanation for at least one day a year. It's a start. Not much, I'll admit.

Maybe we could blame the extreme hysteria, lack of rational behavior, shortness of memory, loss of civility, poor grammar and spelling and just plain bad manners on some monthly cycle that coincides with the full moon? Or some other poorly understood cyclic event.

That would explain away 12 days a year. Then, some might argue that there is a period of 5-7 days on each side of the "poorly understood cyclic event" that may trigger marginal rationality, all caps, no logic and self pity among some, mostly Guests.

Nope, that doesn't explain it away either.

I'm in trouble now!

Mebbe it's some sort of seasonal mood disorder, or something in the water, or the fact that the world is ending in 2012 and everyone has to get their iodicy out of their systems now.

I'm gratified that you refrained from mentioning a certain monthly cyclic event afflicting only certain members (she said...) of this community. Otherwise I would have had to open up a giant can of harrumph.

I've been studying the effect of lunar radiation on exposed pthylates in the environment as it relates to cyclical irrationality of all humans. I may be on to something here, but it will take years to prove my thesis.

Although it is too early for conclusive proof, I have applied for a government (DARPA) grant of $5,000,000.00USD for an assistant.

Interested?

Absolutely. And if DARPA doesn't come through with $, maybe Heidi of sand castle fame will fork some over.

It just a simple case of statistics. (Now there's an oxymoron for you.) There are so many people here on this planet that at any moment in time there are always some people having a bad day, confronted with things beyond there control, looking to blame anyone but themselves or just plain being astonishingly stupid. A full moon just makes it easier to see these fools at night.

Thanks for the bait and switch a$$hole. That article was published in January.

You almost had me.

Since you live in Arizona......are you familiar with the term, dickweed.

I hear it's quite common there.

That picture does make me look crazy, unless you take the time to explain that those are my rose colored glasses!

Thanks a lot

It's soooooo lonely being the only crazy one on CR4.

I think I'll get back into the fetal position and go read some more about what curiosity is.............

BTW, that picture was taken 6 years ago........I've matured a lot since then.

Even my wife has noticed that I'm starting to behave more like a 19 year old than a 12 year old.

All is well on Crazy Creek.

It must be........I just served the wife and daughter a spinach/cheese omelet w/ toast and o.j. in bed. If it's because of CR4, cool, it seems to be working.

I just realized I said o.j. in bed..................that's orange juice, not the former football star. That would be dangerous.

That's worth a symbolic pat on the back.

We had a big breakfast here this morning. Not in bed.

The 4 YO and the 6 YO are going mutton bustin' this morning at Old West Days. What fun!

Emily's going to be on a float with her dance class in a couple of weeks in the local Christmas parade.

We'd better shut up before everyone figures out that we're just a couple of sentimental fools. Now I know how the little man in the booth felt in "Wizard of OZ".

Our cover may be blown.

PS.......I think just figured out what may be making me crazy. Barney the purple dinosaur has been playing in an endless loop for well over 24 hours.

I wonder if del could provide me with a picture of Barney with an arrow through his head, that would make me feel better.

WOW! - 310 full moons - why not another 55 to make it a year's worth? (56 in a leap year)

BTW, what's on the 'Man in the Moon's" head - eyeglasses resting on his forehead, or an engineer's #2 pencil behind his ears? - or a retainer base for his tinfoil hat

And now we know why the word "lunatic" is derived from the Latin for "moon"...

I wish I could hang out and talk to you guys, but I'm reading a fascinating book.

It's called, "The Yellow Stream", by I.P. Daily
