The Shrine

I apologize to one and all for the offense given.

My views are what they are; they are not going to change.

Nevertheless, I find myself falling afoul of my own worse nature every time I come back.

Some of you do not deserve the things that were said.

Manic depressive or schizo.....or....bipolar. I hope you don't keep shark instruments in your house.

But I'll take your apology. I just won't expose my back to you.

Whats a shark instrument? I want one.

It was supposed to be "sharp".....but ya know what? That sounds more dangerous. Pull out a switch blade and a frikken shark pops out.

I think it's an ancient method of creating a xylophone-like musical instrument out of a shark's rib cage. Didn't seem to translate well once they use things like brass and strings and advancements in other percussion instruments came about during the Renaissance age but it could be a revival-type thing that could come back strong nowadays. You never know.

Don't surprise me Joe has one of those 500 year-old instruments, though. Likely left over from his late childhood

Joe, I think we can all agree that trust levels here have become...low. Lower than they once were, no doubt.

It's become the kind of world for it. We live in what is essentially a giant corrupt police state.

Trust me that I mean you no harm. If I seem angry about politics - well, I am. People are being butchered all over the world, all the time; and more of them by NATO leaders than by terrorists by far.

However, if it will help to apologize for my part in making THIS place less trusting, I will. I rather like most people here outside of politics; and politics is no reason to stop liking people, anyway.

I don't have any shark instruments in my home, if it helps.

I think you're looking for Aquaman. I always felt like he would have gotten less grief if they just called him "I Will Feed You To A Fucking Shark Man", you know?
