A Brief Reflection On the Nature of Posting On Internet Forums

That's cute .... and true in a scary kind of way

So, what's your point?

What is this.. some kind of Rorschach ink blot test? You know it's not what you see, it's how long it takes for you to see it...

So, what's your point?

The point is frozen, the beast is late out of Paddington. The point is taken. If La Fontaine's elk would spurn Tom Jones the engine must be our head, the dining car our oesophagus, the guard's van our left lung, the cattle truck our shins, the first-class compartment the piece of skin at the nape of the neck and the level crossing an electric elk called Simon.

The clarity is devastating. But where is the ambiguity? It's over there in a box. Shunt is saying the 8.15 from Gillingham when in reality he means the 8.13 from Gillingham. The train is the same only the time is altered. Ecce homo, ergo elk. La Fontaine knew his sister and knew her bloody well.

The point is taken, the beast is moulting, the fluff gets up your nose. The illusion is complete; it is reality, the reality is illusion and the ambiguity is the only truth.

But is the truth, as Hitchcock observes, in the box? No there isn't room, the ambiguity has put on weight. The point is taken, the elk is dead, the beast stops at Swindon, Chabrol stops at nothing, I'm having treatment and La Fontaine can get knotted.

Ok, but is the cat dead or alive? If you answer, you have made a choice... or has the choice made you?

I think it's too early to tell.

"Too early to tell" ... too early to say... it means the same thing. The word "say" is the same as the word "tell". They're not spelt the same, but they mean the same. It's an identical situation, we have with "ship" and "boat" but not the same as we have with "bow" and "bough," they're spelt differently, mean different things but sound the same. So there. But the real question remains. What is the solution, if any, to this problem? What can we do? What am I saying? Why am I sitting in this chair? Why am I on this programme? And what am I going to say next?

What do we mean by no, what do we mean by yes, what do we mean by no, no, no?

16 ton weight drops on Coemgen. The signalman apologises and goes back to wrestling with a bear.

Yes! The only solution to the problem is to destroy the box because the experiment had already been started.

For example, if you take the beginning and end of your time in this universe, like a film strip, and loop it. You can also twist the film before looping it. At that point of twist an outside observer can see forward and bacward time overlapping... And the instant is born, held, and passed all in one!
