Robert Nason's Culture Café

[Ezra Lb.]

The lines are straight. If you don't believe me fetch a ruler.

[Chuck Messer]

It's amazing the tricks one can play on the eye/brain interface.

Chuck

[FrankChurch]

The minds eye is the true eye, ponder that.

[Chuck Messer]

The "Mind's Eye" made those straight lines look crooked.

So Frank, answer a. Question. We know that magic goes back at least as far as the Egyptians.

If your idea of the mind's eye being the true eye is correct, exactly how did this happen? We wouldn't be so easily fooled in this day and age if you are connect would we?

[FrankChurch]

Our brains get in the way of our eyes, young one.

Nason lives in culture central but us fly-over fucks have vast cultural tastes as well. We don't all eat with our feet. Kentucky is close but not that close.

[Lori Koonce]

Post removed for insulting language towards another poster.

[FrankChurch]

Wow, was what I said really that bad?

[Moderator]

Wow, was what I said really that bad?

No, it wasn't.

Lori, a bit over the top and unkind.

[Rick Keeney]

Our brains get in the way of our eyes, young one.

No idea what Lori said, but this quote sounds condescending.

[Steve Barber]

I don't agree, Rick. It sounds no more insulting than an attempt at humor using the old "grasshopper" title from KUNG FU.

As I noted in another thread, some people read any and all of Frank's posts looking for an insult. I can't help that. But I'm certainly not going to see fault when I honestly don't see it myself.

[Lori Koonce]

Wow, was what I said really that bad?

No, it wasn't.

Lori, a bit over the top and unkind.

Sorry gang. I can't say it won't happen again, but I'll do my best.

[FrankChurch]

I do wish Nason would stay put.

[FrankChurch]

You want culture, I gotcha culture. Travis Louie may be the best artist working today. This shit blows my mind. Scary, weird, esoteric, eye-popping, brilliant, off-putting:

Wow, just wow. Harlan would love it.

Too bad Joan Rivers died. She was single, too.

First things first, welcome back. I've missed you and your way of expressing yourself.

Now about Ms Rivers, do you really wanna look like what ever phrase is out there for a male gold digger? I mean it's not like she was the only elder!y, rich and singleJewish woman in the entire state was she?

Actually, Joan is pretty typical of the kind of women her age who live in that neck of the Upper East Side. They're not as funny as she was, but they kind of look and think the same. Personally, just looking at that mask she substituted for her actual face would give me the creeps, though of course I extend my deepest condolences to her family, etc. But why do women really think that kind of "cosmetic" surgery is attractive?
