Steve. This is the disregard thread. You gotta stop rememberin' stuff. Me, I'm almost 60 and don't have a memory anymore, so I don't have that problem.

What is worse, disregarding or flat out forgetting?

I think forgetting is way better. That way, you're not responsible, and you never have to concern yourself with whatever it was again. It's the Utopia known as Alzheimer's (or The Oblivion of Death, whichever mercifully comes first).

Now, what was the question, again?

I think it was shuffleboard, wasn't it? What was shuffleboard, again?

I love the years-old-by-now commercial showing a bunch of (us) old guys listening to a thrash band. One of 'em says, "That was def!" His pal puts his horn to his ear and says, "Hah?"

Of course, I don't really love anything anymore. As the old guy in "Magnificent Seven" says about women, "I became indifferent at 83."

It seems this abomination has turned from the disregard thread to the short-term memory loss thread.

If you regard the disregard and then forget, are you remembering the regard or disregarding the forget?

... so the conclusion would be that disregard is directly proportional to the alcoholic content in your bloodstream?

Unless it isn't. If your not paying attention then the alcoholic content may not be the significant factor. Thus it can be safely disregarded.

Well, the salons of Paris
Swelled with revolutionary sympathies,
And war had faded into
A not-so-threatening memory.
So, Boney found it easy to disturb
Their intellectual reverie
And talk them into believing
That the state was he.

Do you think anyone remembers us from the boulevard
Where we braved that whiff of grapeshot
Coming down from the Tuileries?
And swore to each other
We'd live our lives in total disregard
Of the dangers that come with being truly free.

Forget I said that...

Is that yours Pasternakski, or a quote from something else?

It's from one of my forgettable songs that ought to be disregarded.

It draws a parallel from Napoleon, Lenin, and Martin Luther King by the time I'm done performing it and look up to see that my audience has become completely disgusted and left.

Never mind.

I find the quote you used interesting.

I have always found it interesting that the French went monarchy to revolutionary committee to emperor.

With recent studies suggesting that our memory isn't really affected by age - it's just that the older you get the more crap you have to sift through to bring back that particular memory - those of us WITPers are probably in worse shape than most since we all have so much in the way of esoteric crap filed into our memories...

"Honey, did you mail the insurance payment?"

"Yes, dear, I shipped it off to Noumea yesterday."

"You shipped it where????"
