On that day, when rubbish makes rubies, trash seems as treasure, friends can’t be newbie's, and rules have no measure, what then, on that day, shall become of us?
Does society suffer when standards are lowered? Is there any benefit to a notion of eroding the collective intellect?

Shrug our shoulders, shake our heads, and keep on exactly as we have every other day. Where do you think diamonds come from anyway? It’s nothing more than squashed garbage.
@Yarnlady Understood. Yet there is a monumental difference between garbage and diamonds… and that difference does not come about as a result of a shrug of the shoulders.
@Yarnlady I fully embrace the Alchemist. Does this craft not best respond to first recognizing things as they are, and secondly, what may be made of firing them?
The process is the product in this realm.
Though I do understand the visionary traits of the craftster, able to see things for “what they can be” so clearly, that it is difficult not to separate the gem from junk.
Why, I do believe we’ll all find ourselves watching NASCAR on FOX.
I say Raise the Standard and shore up the terra firma here in the wasteland we call America. I don’t think the collective intellect can be eroded any further.
I am befuddled by the level of intelligence I am confronted with today. I went to the Super Grocery Store today and asked a young man if he could direct me to housewares as I was in need of a travel mug. He pointed me towards the florist. I said, no I don’t need flowers I need Housewares. He said, “Oh, they have like a greenhouse”.... I passed out from shock.
When I came to, I commenced my journey towards the pots and pans to look for the rare and elusive plastic travel mug. I came upon another older gentleman who I also queried. His response was. “You are looking for a map?” At which point, I shoved a pencil in my temple to dull the pain….My final interrogation was a young guy who looked like he might have a sense of humor. With a smile he suggested I try the Modells down the road. Now Modell’s for those of you not aware sells exclusively Sporting Goods. I suggested if he was ever looking to buy a new car he should head to Home Depot.
I emerged from the store and noticed directly across the street was a Bed, Bath and Beyond- a store specializing in housewares.
@SeventhSense: I am rolling in the aisles! Or, I would be if there were any aisles. LURVE!!!!
@daloon
I was laughing my ass off myself. I couldn’t even help it. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.
@SeventhSense: Isn’t it wonderful when you find yourself so funny, you can’t help but to laugh? btw, what part of the country do you live in that has “Super” grocery stores?
@daloon
No I was actually laughing outside the supermarket!
I’m on Long Island, NY
It’s April Fool’s day, get it? :D
@VzzBzz Egaads! You mean… you mean I’m not… “special”?
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies: “special” (it would be uncouth and un PC to insert a South Park youtube in this comment) tee hee hee
