Miss Begotten is one of my pet names for myself, for Southern Gothic reasons best kept to myself. Miss Begotten tries to speak plainly, but sometimes she tends to babble -- parenthetically, of course. It's never my intention to offend (and usually that's true - except on those [maybe not so] rare occasions when I mean it very friggin' much) but it sometimes happens, so if you're unusually easily offended...

Miss's Mailbox
Dear Miss Begotten,
The Full Moon phase has passed ... and nothing of an odd, explosive, or extraordinary occurrence took place in our neck of the woods. Did we have a Christmas miracle? Or are we in for a double whammy next month?
- G-man
Dear G,
You can call it a miracle if you wish. I call it a crap-free zone during a simultaneous full moon. Oh, wait, maybe that is something of a miracle. As for next month, hang tight a minute and let me consult my chicken bones and tea bag. I don't use leaf tea. What a hassle! Okay, I'm getting something. As long as people everywhere behave and don't start throwing crap like a bunch of chimps, no, I foresee no problems during the next full moon. See, it's other people that cause all the problems. Sometimes I think Jean-Paul Sartre was perfectly correct when he said, "Hell is other people." In any event, Miss predicts that chances are the next full moon will be nothing more than a gloriously beautiful orb riding high in a starlit sky, a sight to be savored and shared. And if it sparks some of that Old Black Magic, who would dare to complain?
Dear Miss Begotten,
I know you've answered this question before, but do you believe in aliens now?
- Call Me Darth
Dear Darth,
Are you kidding?! Now? What's so different about now? I see alien things everywhere, every day, every which way I turn -- always have. Some of them walk on two legs, some are inanimate, some are political candidates, some are in the movies, some sing, some dance, and some defy description. But yeah, there's alien stuff everywhere. Believe it. As long as they're not probing us and trying to convert us, I think we're okay, though.
Dear Miss Begotten,
Are you scared of anything?
- Boo
Dear I'll Boo You,
No. So don't try anything.
TWISTED LINGUISTICS is torturing these Words Gone Wild today :-
togrther - Person trying to negotiate a date immediately following a root canal.
oppinion - Ode to and/or OpEd piece on rack and pinion steering.
opininons - Ode to pini nons, whatever the hell those are.
mentionned - Be sure to ask about Ned when you get there.

Miss's morning is off to a bang-up start and now she's off to start a load of laundry. Aren't you excited?

LIAR!!! I can scare you very easily. Ready? This is scary....
President Bush today signed a new law allowing him to seek a third term as President of the United States and also extending each term from four years to a solid decade.
Pleasent Dreams....
Yeah, okay, Kan. I concede. That would scare the bejesus out of me. That is the stuff of nightmares. See me shivering and quivering?:) And now I have 5 words that will scare the boo out of you: Britney. Police standoff. Last night.:-)
Kan thinks I'm scary? Dizamn, THAT's scary when combined with the stupidity of our last two elections. It sent me directly to the news services to make sure those idiots didn't pass something to that effect.
The Britney thing, not so scary, unless you happened to be one of those kids threatened with growing up in that family.
Miss Begotten...
I'm just a dumb old hick that don't know nothin about no Jean-Paul Sartre.
...and besides, what does he mean by;"In Love, One and One are One"?
hehehe...xoxobgxoxox
Nah, Charles, I don't think there would be a chance in hell of passing that, not even under the oppressive Patriot Act.
Yup, Britney's kids have great reason to be scared. Still, ANYthing involving Brit these days is just plain damn scary.
G, since you're not even from The Hollers, I don't think you can be a hick. LOL. Besides, you probably know more about Sartre than I ever did.:)
what does he mean by;"In Love, One and One are One"?
He may have meant it in one of the oldest interpretations of the phrase; i.e., when two people fall in love, they become one. You know, like in those marriage vow thingys (which he didn't take all that seriously)? Or maybe not.:-)

I'm quite sure that means something quite kind, /t. Thanks!:)
hugs
& kisses,
sweet serena
and all in one(!)

(if you can see them, that is... x's and o's, ascii character #164)
Ahhhhh. Thank you, /t. I am ascii illiterate.:)
I think the meaning of the "In Love" thing was meant to be a little more realistic. It means when married a man loses all sense of self, and must subjugate himself to the wife's will.
}:>D>
On what planet does that subjugation thing occur, Charles? Because I gotta tell you, I've never seen that. I KNEW I shouldn't have married Earth men.:-)
