Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. ~William Arthur Ward

SWEET! Welcome new OT!

I encourage the masters and doctors of spirituality with all my heart so that they bring more awareness, love, compassion and bliss to the world, so that we live in paradise for ever and ever and ever even after death.

dear Tammy,
thanks for posting the Ambrosia song - 'How much I feel
for you baby'
I love it

especially on this chilly evening, and it's been a high performance night, and just earlier, moonglow shining through the shades, so gentle on my keyboard

soon,
where I live
it will be Thanksgiving.

I have always loved this celebration day of giving thanks for the blessings which I am grateful for - that fill my life with beauty and meaning, and

it's also
FOOTBALL
crazy day!
(GO Packers).

a warm hug to you, dear Tammy
~ Kate

bubba,
you are perhaps
unaware
But
you are in
paradise
this very moment.

love,
from ~ Kate

dear Heather,
is it really cold in NYC?

I will be there in Jan, and I know I will need to bundle up!
Have a nice Thanksgiving day with your family.

Happy Thanksgiving for all families here and there and
everywhere

LOVE

President Duke of Bubbarland -maybe the only one; Todd-Oul and the rest.

I have read many posts and I'm about to draw a conclusion.

In many posts over here I see a lot of answers and dialogue between individuals who are believing that they are enlightened, and they give answers with spiritual shuffles, truisms and one liners. The best example seems to be oul-todd who insists with "who, to whom, and you know". I once had a friend that was in a meditation center in India. When he came down from the mountains I looked at him and I have seen total absence; he just stared into the horizon. I asked him how are you feeling and he replied : "who?". Now I let you draw the conclusions from here on. Who writes about spirituality should first really understand it, but it is really not the case here on IB. You all have learned spiritual teachings and Chopra teachings exactly like you have learned geography in school. You can say anything but i see without a doubt in my mind that you are not speaking from direct experience. Now about Bubba since he is the subject of my post. Whatever he may say, I think that he really might be the only jnani(wise man) here on IB.(right B?).He obviously read a lot, but he does not ever say "This is the way how things really are". His humour and the way he answers makes me proclaim him a jnani, although he will certainly deny this. You can't fool old D.

For the rest of IB members, with some exceptions, and they know who they are, because I am not trying to offend everybody: You should really get back to the Knowledge-DoJo and stop wasting your time giving out stupid answers and raising stupid questions and problems, Bubba you just stay here you are doing fine.

Thank you, girlfriend...er, Sister. I appreciate the education.

Happy Hump Day!

Red-current sauce, anyone?

dearest Kate

it's been cold and dank, and today it will turn warmish and dank for 36 hours, then it will be cold and wild. this year's woolliebears are predicting a mild mid-winter, but with global warming, who knows when winter is, or where it's middle will come in?

if you're lucky, January will be mid-winter and the woolliebears will be on-target with their temp predictions. if so, you'll be in for a treat -- the gray city will have the bluest skies like October, and a sweet fragrance like that in mid-November in the woods. and the breezes off the harbor may not be too strong, and there'll be sea-salt mixed in with the fragrance of November leaves.

I recommend a jacket or coat lined with Thinsulate (not too heavy if it gets warmish, more than adequate if it's frigid), pashmina or cashmere shawls to tie as scarves (two at the same time, for fashion and warmth), a hat that will fit in your pocket or bag if it's not cold, and gloves. and good things to keep your feet warm no matter what the temp -- cause the ground is cold.

blessings this Thanksgiving to you and all.

love, heath

dear Edmund

I remember the red-current jelly we made when I was a kid -- oh, God, it was so lovely.

I love tart fruits (no jokes, kiddies)... two things I melt over are fresh-made cranberry sauce (which is incredible if you make it with a quarter-teaspoon of salt for each pound of berries) and gooseberry fool. and if gooseberries aren't around, you can make a nice substitute with Macoun apples cooked down to applesauce (do it with the peels in during cooking -- they add an extra fragrance to the applesauce) in place of the gooseberry puree.

love, h

Mouth watering here, love those sharp fruits and all they can be made into, and does anybody not like lemon?

Dear Revered Founders and Honored members of the
IntentBlog,

I have recently come across this wonderful spiritual site by surfing the net, and how glad am I to know that this is perhaps the only website that integrates God with science. God created everything. So he created science too. Science, whether it is physics, astrology, numerology, biology evolutionary, 'devolutionary' or whatever - is all part of God.

Now how you look at God is different for each of you, for your fathers, mothers, families and their religions were different. Were you born in in the Middle East, you could have been a Muslim and prostrating before God at least 5 times a day and asking for 'duas'. And if born in Tibet, very likely a Buddhist. But chances are very high, if born as a female in India, you could have been thrown in the holy waters of the Ganges, as female babies are not welcome in India, like in China, the two most fast developing economies in the world.

Sorry to go tangential here. But the point is God is God and God created science as everything else. So God and science are one. I do not understand why do some people want to exclude science from God. The ignorant, the unenlightened ones, the ones who never really understood God or science.

So it gives me a great pleasure to see here spiritual masters as well scientists like Deepak Chopra, Avtar Sigh and DK Matai who are leading the humanity out of the darkness, the kala yuga, of atheism. But I wish they were not using science - quantum mechanics and relativity - to prove the existence of God or life after death for the ignorants, but rather God to prove the existence of science, as I have humbly tried to prove here. I hope they have time to read my comments even though I would not like to take their time away from visiting their families for turkey dinners with cranberry sauce.

So happy thanksgiving to all of you. As my time permits I will read all the old and new blogs and comments at this site, and would like to get to know you to be a part of this wonderful family of Intentblog.

God bless you all.

Jon what makes you feel good/bad about watching porn?
remember we could be talking about anything here, chocolate cake sports, whatever.

Sin is committed against ones self only, and its guilt. When you address yourself ask " Am I sinning against myself by do whatever? If the answer is NO, then enjoy! and leave the guilty at the door where it belongs! You are the master of your universe. And you will always make the right decisions for yourself!

Also, trust that your heart is good, because it is!

Blessings &
Love

Dear Intentblog Founders/Administrators,

This morning after I joined your website I went through some comments of your members and was highly disturbed. I did not expect you will allow your members to pour out filth here and defeat the very purpose for which the Intenblog was established.

I have copied some comments that I am pasting below, in case you missed them. It's up to you if you want to kick off these kinds of people from your site.

Please read the following exchanges among your members on the open thread:

A little green penis and a bong highlight the day.

136. Posted by Keith on November 20, 2007 04:15 PM

The comment (#136, Keith) that marks the "highlights of the day" wins the Best Comment of the Week Award.

And a little later, the following:

A little yellowish-green penis and a water-pipe...same difference!

142. Posted by Keith on November 20, 2007 04:29 PM

--------------------------------------------------

Anybody will be dumbfounded if you do not discipline your members. I never thought that such people from gutters of the society will have a free pass to pour out their filth at the Intenblog.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jon #13:

Pornography is one tangled web...how to unravel it and understand our relationship in it? Is pornography consuming and controlling you? That is the key to knowing who is in control. An external need not control me...Jon, you have to answer for yourself.

Goddess is very sexual in Her expression. God is as well. That inner -/+ couple can express through more erotic postures and with more intense passion than anything in this outer world...and anything that pornography tries to portray.

Jon, grab a thread in that tangled web and start pulling on it with honest questions that, as Tammy expressed, come from your heart.

Trish~~

More current sauce?

Hi Edmund,
please pass the curry
quickly
:)

Thank you Heather! I am really looking forward to my trip.

hello khandro,
Happy Thanksgiving - may you enjoy a nice day too!
~ Kate

Thank you Tammy and Trish for your insights. All this because i am a bachelor. May be most of them go through this face without guilt, i think its just about mind management.

Hello Khandro welcome! Very nice to meet you! So what would you like to chat about here at IB? I am willing to talk bout anything that can keep my attention.

Tell us abit about yourself, Khandro.

Happy Holidays to you too! : )

Love

khandro #18:

Could you consider ignoring that which is offensive and dissipative to you and focus on that which is integrative? We could use support here weaving threads that go deeper than old patterns that carry more of the same noise and chaos.

Everyone here has heart and it's fun to find threads that resonate. Please look for those threads and weave with us as we play new music.

Trish~~

dear Tiger, virtue is carried within or not at all. I find it amusing that you skipped all comments on jade. hugs and Happy Thanksgiving to you, from the unassailable me.

dear Kate, may you have blessings and joy when you come, and always.

dear Edmund, please pass the sauce.

dear Tammy.

love t'y'all, Heath

Jon #22:

Could pornography be about a need to express oneself in other ways than sexuality...even though it is flaring through that chakra? Do you have passions that you are not fulfilling such as art or music? Or maybe a passion to learn to ski...or cook...or...? The body can get the signals crossed and we have to parent it. It can all be fun and need not be frustrating or guilt ridden. Rise up and fly through your sexuality! Your flight is obvious due to your innocent question.

Trish~~

khandro,
your post #15 has interesting points
Perhaps, China and India are in need of more women to balance the male energy :)

You will find at IB a wide range of interests and I have found it to be lots of fun, and a warm place to share. Sometimes, it is contentious. Sometimes, the words written here are harsh. Sometimes, there is profanity.

I hope you will stay and share your ideas and experiences.

Can you elaborate more on your concept of God and Science?

Thanks,
~ Kate

I hope you will stay and share your ideas and experiences. ~Kate
--------------------------------------------------

Dear Kate, Thanks. I was so happy today to come across IntentBlog. Unfortunately, my happiness did not last long till I came to the filthy language by some members.

And one of the member comes back to take pride in herself in proclaiming herself unassailable - she wishes to continue posting profanity, spreading filth and encouraging those who do so.
What temerity! What audacity! Instead of feeling sorry, she seems to be challenging the administration of the IntentBlog!

I reposted my comment a moment ago to bring it to the attention of Mallika. I will continue doing so till I see that the IntentBlog is cleaned of the filth poured down here by some members who should not be given the privileges to post here anything, and must be reprimanded for what they have done.

Such people from the gutters of society have no right to come here and spoil the site. They must be kept at bay. And I hope the administrators/founders of this site will take prompt action.

Waiting for some action first before I make my posts on spirituality, consciousness, science and God.

biting hard, Tiger? kyo? I should apologize for something in your mind? it should be you apologizing, to me.

Sound to me like you just wanna bitch a someone, so be my guest, and then DO TELL ABOUT US GOD please! would so love to hear some profound thoughts. I will write ONLY with you in mind dear Khandro, as I dare not express myself fully, less it upset you! WOW a communist blog! there a new one!
So could you please instruct as to what we CAN chat about at IB. I do follow ORDERS well, SIR! YES SIR!

( that was the bitchy Tammy ) Love it! hehe : >

Love

ps what dose the reprimanding include? limited spanking or what?

Love

yO, Khandro, gutters;
I said to myself, God is everywhere but surely not in the gutter.
Then one day, as a man stooped low to make a pass, I heard a voice from the other end of all indigestions. The voice was low and booming and echoed through all the land and I was gutted, for, indeed gutters are everywhere.

Deepak would you, could you, please tell us where GOD dose reside? cause I'd better hurry my ass up and get there! QUICK!

Love

Does chaos drown out order?
Is order drawn out of chaos?
Have we ravelled ourselves around a quantum spark? Buried in and identified with the muck?

Magic is afoot.
Playful beings await to greet us in joy.
Their ever singing message is: Lighten up!

Trish~~

I love that Trish! thats super cool!

Well I'm off now, the oldest kid is back from college and were goin for pizza!

Love all of yas!

Love

India sleeps...

Waiting for some action first before I make my posts on spirituality, consciousness, science and God.~Khadro

Don't wait for no nothing. Keep posting.

“This place is going nuttier by the day!

I miss posters like David H, North, Janet, Sachin, Skep, Doodleman …et al.” Previous O.T. # 44, Divya!

Couldn’t agree with you more, Divya!

Here is a lamentation from an apparent newcomer? Who is this 'genius' kidding, anyway?

Here’s what he has to say:

“This morning after I joined your website I went through some comments of your members and was highly disturbed. I did not expect you will allow your members to pour out filth here and defeat the very purpose for which the Intenblogy was established.” Khandro, Post 15.

“And one of the member(s) comes back to take pride in herself in proclaiming herself unassailable - she wishes to continue posting profanity, spreading filth and encouraging those who do so. What temerity! “ Post 28, Khandro!

“Skeptisch has no heart. He may have some mind. He wants proof of God. What temerity!” Previous O.T. # 81.

If this character keeps it up, he might be left no choice but to debate himself with his multiple strange alter egos.

“Khandro”, if you really believe the nonsense you claim that you just joined the site this morning, and are so offended, then, why don’t you just go back from whence the hell you came, instead of allowing your pure self to be so polluted! Besides, what neophyte comes to a new site and immediately calls for the expulsion of the old-timers? Should you not show some damn respect for those who have been here before you?

Moreover, if you, in your self-righteous indignation, can’t stand the site, why don’t you create your own "figging" blog where you can freely debate yourself with similar freaks like you?

And are you not the same truculent freak who calls astrology the grandest of all sciences? Fella, if there is anyone that should be expelled, it should be a medieval, dark-age, eccentric creep like you!

What audacity!

Ron Saywack writes:
"And are you not the same truculent freak who calls astrology the grandest of all sciences? Fella, if there is anyone that should be expelled, it should be a medieval, dark-age, eccentric creep like you!"

Sir, it is true according to Deepak Chopra who is the founder of this blog. Maybe you should take your own advice... and go join or create mainstream science forums where you can whine to your hearts content.

*****************************

Jyotish, in Sanskrit translated as “science of light,” is a profound and mathematically sophisticated form of astrology that originated in the ancient Vedic tradition of India. It describes how planetary patterns at the time of our birth give valuable clues in helping us understand our life’s journey. Through careful analysis of these cosmic influences, Jyotish Astrology can help us realistically evaluate our strengths and weaknesses in order to optimize our full potential.

By forecasting the changing trends and periods of our lives, Jyotish Astrology can enable us to make more evolutionary choices. It can offer practical remedial measures to help alleviate areas of difficulty, giving us the confidence to manifest our true destiny and create success, happiness and harmony on all levels.

The Chopra Center for Wellbeing is pleased to offer its Jyotish Astrology Counseling Service to help provide participants with valuable information in all areas of their lives. Birth charts are calculated and fully discussed by Program Director, Brent BecVar, M.S. Mr. BecVar has practiced astrology and counseling over the past 30 years, and has studied with respected teachers in this country and in India. A consultation lasts one and a half hours and may be conducted in person at the Chopra Center, or by telephone. All sessions are tape recorded for participants and remain completely confidential.

The Chopra Center maintains its connection to the Vedic traditions of India through a direct relationship to the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Swami Vasudevananda Saraswati Maharaj. We are also members of the American Council of Vedic Astrologers.

India wakes...

Yes, Jyotish Astrology is the science of light from Vedic India. This is not Randi.org. This is IntentBlog. Which is founded by a person who not only believes in it, but also practices it.

I have used the subtle power of Jyotish Shatsra predictions myself to improve my personal and business prospects with great effect.

Khadro, Welcome to Intentblog.com Let some indulge in whatever they want to the limits of their own tolerance. We can only hope they learn something of from your example.

Dear Ron, you state:

Moreover, if you, in your self-righteous indignation, can’t stand the site, why don’t you create your own "figging" blog where you can freely debate yourself with similar freaks like you?

And are you not the same truculent freak who calls astrology the grandest of all sciences? Fella, if there is anyone that should be expelled, it should be a medieval, dark-age, eccentric creep like you!

***

Please show respect to your fellow commentators. There is no point in using words such as frigging, freak or creep. You do not elevate yourself doing so in the eyes of the learned people, rather you denigrate yourself. If you do not agree with someone, why not have a civilised discussion instead of resorting to the ways of the uncultured, uneducated, uncivilized people.

I am a friend of the Chopra family. I know what's going on here. The concerns that our new member khandro raised this morning are valid. I too was dismayed by reading comments containing words that not suit any one's participation on the Intentblog.

I think Mallika should close the Open Thread. It was originally meant for all of you to engage in discussions on the topics of interest that were not covered in the the main blogs. It seems that many of you are using this space for chit-chat and often for foolish remarks. Enough is enough. Please mend your ways, and let us elevate the IntenBlog to the expectations of the founders.

Thank you all and happy Thanksgiving.

Dear Friend_of_Deepak,

FYI, I did not use the word "frigging". You should double check it!

I realize I have used strong adjectives in post # 38, but what kind of newcomer gets on a site and immediately call for the expulsion of the regulars? Is that not odd? If that person feels so offended, then they don't have be on the site, just like those who are offended my striptease shows don't have to be in those premises.

If I have offended anyone, please accept my apologies.

Sincerely,

Ron saywack.

Dear "Friend_of_Chopras"

In my opinion, your use of the word "creep" in #43 does absolutely nothing to "elevate [Intentblog] to the expectations of the founders." -- rather the opposite, in fact.

Also, chit-chat makes community, and community is part of what Intentblog is about, I believe. It has been implicitly encouraged here on a consistent basis by Mallika and contributors since I first visited more than two years ago.

I agree with Ron's point: "...what kind of newcomer gets on a site and immediately call for the expulsion of the regulars? Is that not odd?..."

For your information -- if you're not already aware of it, but I think you must be -- what has taken Intentblog away from its early promise is the activity of hackers and trolls. Besides the continuing presence of one of these, there are still a few staunch regulars who drop by, because they believe in what the Chopras and Mr. Kapur first intended, and they have not broken faith with that. If those staunch regular are left alone by Mr. Troll, they and others who read regularly, but are too intimidated by Mr. Troll to comment these days, may help bring this site back to its original promise.

The playfulness that is shared by those staunch regulars -- and, sometimes, by Mr. Troll himself -- on Open Thread, is part of what keeps the Intentblog reader community alive.

What would help Intentblog get back on track would be a real forum registration schema, real moderation, a site redesign (the content organization is too flat, the visuals are now dated), and contributions from people who care about the Intentblog readers. Guidelines for contributors would be helpful, too. It's too easy to write a piece that is inflammatory or boring, and neither helps move Intentblog towards its purpose.

love, Heath (a two+ year chit-chatting staunch regular)

Dear All

I wish everyone around the world a wonderful Day of Thanksgiving. May your days be blessed with love, insight and gentle strength.

love, Heath

dear Ron,
You are a charmer
;)
May you and your family - and Oxana and Filip enjoy a fun and happy holiday!
~ Kate

Friend_of_Chopras,
With all due respect, your disdain of chit-chat on OT is not warranted, imo.

As Heather mentions in her comment - it has heartfelt sharing, and fostered friendships and
yes - sometimes anger and harsh words, but also the community of sharing is rich and diverse, and building community takes work and commitment.

I hope Mallika will not take your advice and close the Open Thread.

Dear Mallika,
I hope you will not close down OT.
As someone who has written faithfully at IB for two years, I can tell you it has been rewarding to me to meet and share with some amazing people.

Blessings to you and your family for a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for IB.

with love,
~ Kate

Dear Heather and Kate, two of our finest, thank you ladies for your heartfelt support.

This friend of the Chopras is probably the clever hacker, who knows?

The Open Thread is the lifeline of IB. If they close it down, I will definitely not be back. And you can bet the farm on that!

Happy Thanksging to all! Skep, miss you, pal! Hope to see you back soon! Please find a way to let us know how you are doing!
Cheers!

Bush Upset At Democrats Over War Funding

President George Bush is not happy with Democrats in Congress over their decision to hold up money which Bush requested for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Washington (eCanadaNow) - President George Bush is not happy with Democrats in Congress over their decision to hold up money which Bush requested for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bush came out on Saturday and stated that it was wrong for the Democrats in Congress to not allow the money he needs to be available.

Bush is trying to get $196 billion for the two wars for the fiscal year beginning October 1st. The Democrats who are in control of Congress right now are willing to do this as long as Bush accepts a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq in the funding bill.

Bush and the White House stated that any such bill would get a veto almost automatically. The bill did not get enough votes to pass in the Senate though.

Bush stated that Congress was "failing to meet its responsibilities to our troops. For months, Congress has delayed action on supplemental war funding because some in Congress want to make a political statement about the war."

***Bush, showing off what he calls a "Great Booger"***

Bush criticized Democrats for leaving for their Thanksgiving break without coming to a resolution to approve war funds.

The House passed a bil which would give Bush 25% of the $196 billion he requested and also demanded troops withdraw by December 15, 2008.

Republicans put a stop to this bill in th eSenate.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated she refused to bring another Iraq war funding bill to the House before 2007 is over.

Will Cheney and Pelosi Be Partners in Mass Murder?

by Jeffrey Steinberg

11/21/07

"If the United States goes ahead with the bombing campaign against Iran that Vice President Dick Cheney has been strenuously promoting, there is no doubt that he will have the blood of millions of people on his hands, surpassing even the crimes of Hitler. What should be equally clear is that if "preventive war" is launched, Speaker of the House Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi (D-Calif.), will go down in history as Cheney's partner in genocide, for her role in keeping the Vice President in office, in the face of overwhelming evidence of impeachable crimes, and a groundswell of popular demand for his ouster."

There are outdoor showers, really comfy cells, even an 'Aunt Bee" type Marine who takes care of our friends there!

Wow, you will see there is just NOTHING to break a sweat over! In fact, when I get sent there it looks like I am just going to LOVE the nicely shades tropical camp with the healthful climate and all the comforts of home!

Not to mention the comfy, over-stuffed barka-lounders in the nifty interrogation rooms where I can sit and chat with my new pals about...oh, ANYTHING that comes into my mind!

Of course, the Marine interrogators have to sit in the really HARD chairs, but not the people being INTERROGATED!

wow I wonder if I'll get a nice Dr. Pepper with ice on those warm days......

Gee, it really looks no worse than an old fashioned BOY SCOUT CAMP!!!!

If you believe THIS shit, then YOU must have voted for BUSH....TWICE!!!!!

I think you are a fraud and an Internet impersonator/hacker who has been hijacking the site, unrestrained, for quite some time now. Did you know that impersonation is a crime here in North America, punishable by imprisonment? I would suggest that you use your real name if you are really a friend of the Chopras. What have you got to hide? Go right ahead, let's see how brave you are, &*%%!

You have the audacity!

Thanks for the laughs everyone!

Did I hear "crime"? LOL

I suppose everyone who is here can claim to be a friend of Deepak Chopra (including critics)... and so are his friends and family.

I guess the Khodra guy et al, and some new comers believe/hope things like those posted in #57, about Gitmo, posted by John:

"Gitmo: Where We ALL CARE About Each Other ALL THE TIME and EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS JUST SWELL!!!"

"IntentBlog: A community for fulfilling a mission of collective empowerment. We seek to reach critical mass with a message of personal, social, environmental and spiritual wellness."

Like Ron Saywack says:

"...like those who are offended by striptease shows don't have to be in those premises."

What did they know?

I think the regulars are doing a great job.
They make this place worth while to visit.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL!!

Dear Kate, I see you have already got the ball rolling in Thanksgiving wishes :) You know what they say.. the early bird catches the.., well in this case, considering this day, the birds would do better if they slept in and avoided the whole day altogether:)

I noticed that a new arrival at OT seems shocked and awed by our down and dirty lingo....hmmmm maybe we need to have an adult warning tacked on to the OT to prevent others from our down and dirty linguistic ways....all I have to say is...this ain't no choich bud....we can be a little saintly and little saucy, a little raunchy, a little lovey-dovey, a little pornographic, a little snotty, sometimes we even get out the swords and meet in the middle and go for it....blood and guts and all right in your face kind off stuff....but then we always have Kate and she comes in and brushes it all away with one stroke of her brush of fresh air and kindness and cheer...and we survive another week in the OT.

Well, it is the big din-din day with the family and the Turkey....I am the alien on Turkey day because I do not eat turkey...being a veggietartan..but I do love all the taters and vegetables and of course some homemade pie...and seeing everyone, laughing and listening and watching and enjoying...while everyone stuffs themselves silly...

To EVERYONE here at IB(including all those who read but do not write), enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your day....ruth(the orig)

To All My Friends & Acquaintances:

May your day be filled with love
and the deep appreciation of
glorious gobbledeegoop!

Thank you!

A little all-is-one thanksgiving morning fun

You've probably heard of the Buddhist monk who went up to the hot dog stand and said "Make me one everything". But can you guess what happened?


Well....that would depend on the hot dog seller, would it not?

David Hall: I can't tell you how badly this hot dog needs your honesty, sharing, and especially your exceptional hunger and wit. It is early a.m. here in Colorado but I just know that a string of responses are going to follow this one that echo the same impressions.

Todd: There is nobody there asking for a hot dog and there is nobody here who could sell you one.

Ramana Maharshi: Ask yourself - who is it that asks for a hot dog?

Ruth: .................The ..........hot ..............................
.........dog .............................is ..........................
...............................no,no ..............................the
..........................hot ......................................dog
...................has ...............................................
............................I'm sorry, what was the question?

Deepak Chopra: If you believe in a hot dog you automatically believe in God.

Nisargadatta Maharaj: Focus on the hot dog. Think only of the hot dog. Always come back to the hot dog, the hot dog, the hot dog.

Keith: What knows the desire for a hot dog?
................And what knows the thinking about it?
................What knows the sense of frustration?
................What knows the anger?
................What knows the desire to punch me on the nose?
................!!!Ouch!!! or possibly !!!Och!!!

Harb: I don't have a hot dog here. What I can offer you is detailed instructions on how to find my 'Self-Designed Universe' piece on the Internet.....let's see.......assuming you are a complete mo-ron:

First you need to find a computer. Now a computer is a.......

Kate:
THE HOT DOG
I Am,
You Am,
I/You/Me/We the hot dog IS
IN This THIS Hottest of Dogs
Always
Yours
Forever Hot
And Dogged
:-)

Tammy: Mmmm. :-))) Mmmmm. :-))) This hot dog is a gift from yourself to yourself. :-)))) And would you like to rub my tits as well?

Bonnie: The important thing is to be grateful for the hot dog. You must nurture this gratitude, fall in love with the gratitude. Love, gratitude, these are essential. That will be £380 please :-)

Divya: Ask me in Sanskrit!

Norm: I can't give you a hot dog. You are a hot dog. There is only the hot dog. How could there possibly be anything else but a hot dog?

Ron: First you must look for a hot dog and make absolutely sure that you don't already have one.

Doodleman: Thank you for asking. I am very pleased that you have come to me believing that I may have a hot dog for you. Unfortunately I don't have a hot dog, I have a picture of one if that will do?

;-)

Krishna: The days of this hot dog here on Earth are certainly numbered. Do not grieve for it, but do your cherished duty and dispatch it now. If you can't decide, and life seems like a battle, let me give you a lift on my chariot. There's something I would like to tell you...

DK Matai: One day there will be no trace of this hot dog, nor anyone that ever saw it. Turn your attention to your unchanging hunger. Your search for hot dogs will be over when you see the 1000 petaled lotus and realize your stomach is filled with emptiness

Dr Avtar Singh: It is important to understand that the hot dog is merely the result of a relativistic change in form, when the cold dog is combined with the entropy of fire. If you start to awaken from the 4% materialistic dream that makes you think you have only got a hot dog, you will witness that the belief in the death of the cold dog is an illusion of the Ego which craves for pleasures!

Heather: This hot dog will never understand anything, so yes yes yes eat it now.

Fundamentalist "Christian": Jesus died on the cross to bring us hot dogs, so we don't deserve them and shouldn't enjoy them too much, but we do want to spread hot dog franchises everywhere on Earth, especially in the Middle East.

Max Simon: The joy of eating this hot dog will be a thousand times greater if you just practice my simple system of meditation outlined in the Self-Designed Tour that even the most busy person can do, with of course yoga asansas, Ayur Vedic diet and purification therapy, and jyotish astrology, and you will also be free from all problems except how to pay for it all.

Dalai Llama: This is one of the few remaining traditional authentic Tibetan hot dogs. Our hot dog stands were all destroyed following the invasion. There are hot dog stands all over Tibet, claiming to be Tibetan, but they are owned by the Chinese government, have Chinese employees, and contain easily digested communist propaganda.

North: Every hot, every dog is a visitor. You just say: Welcome. Come in and I'll eat ya!.

Trish: Hot dog stand is a gathering of hot dogs to
discuss their hot dog nature ~~~

Osho: When you eat this hot dog, accept the experience totally. There is no limit to the eater or the eaten, you or the world. Go beyond all boundaries, take off your clothes, rub the ketchup into each others' bodies, and just observe how life will find its own ways of teaching you.

mmmm...

No offense to any of these most wonderful nobodies intended!

Addendum:

hot dog: not if you're a vegetarian
hot dog: on a hot summer's day give him watter
hot dog: I don't beLIEve in them.

Vendor's look: Priceless

Divya

How would you like to pay for that? Cash, cheque, credit card, gold coins? Will your insurance cover it? :)

Counting my Blessings today!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone.

Love (and gratitude)
bonnie

Wow, exciting read on this Thankful and giving morning.

I am truly thankful to be apart of this most unusual and most beautiful community here at IB.

khandro
My hope is that there is a place in this oneness of everything for profanity. No matter how spiritual I may get, I will still love the dirt from where I came.

Yo, I love hot dogs and I very curious about other people's hot dogs.

And to the impersonator, hacker, troll whatever you are, yo what's up with that? I guess I learn from you too. What was the famous one from the 70's, Rich Little? Something like that. If you closed your eyes you would swear it was whoever he was impersonating, but as soon as you opened your eyes you knew it was not.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

derek

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Ramana Maharshi: Ask yourself - who is it that asks for a hot dog?

The little 8-year-old boy that lives with us, at the ball game.
Since Yogi wants a beer, its easy to make a suitable arrangement for everyone.

It's nice to know what you want. The little boy wants a hot dog.

But not as much as he wants an Ichiro Bobblehead.

Which is why we're at the game in the first place. And we had to be one of the first 25,000 to get there to get it. If you think its easy being one of the first 25,000 to get an Ichiro Bobblehead try navigating a traffic jam of 10,000 cars and weaving your way through 25,000 fans to get it.

A well-deserved beer and hot dog, if you ask me!

Such a feelin’s comin’ over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It’s because you are here

You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen

(*) I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

We are all important and blessing to all of you...

Special greetings to:
Yvette and Yvon (I have seen you yesterday. I was a bit uncomfortable to greeting you. Sorry. You bring back very good old memories)

And to my beautiful and lovely niece that try to draw the "love picture" of her life. Sweety you are still very young (13 years old). You have plenty of time.

While writing the hot dog piece in #64, I had some budding ideas for Aurora, Char, Sachin, Skep, Craig, Ed, Stan, Yogi-one, Gotham, Sherry and others active and inactive, but due to a busy morning I couldn't follow the train of thought.

Here's one for Craig, inspired by the article below,

Craig(empyrius): No one is above a hot dog and all hot dogs are equal.

The Lost Lesson of Thanksgiving

The Tragedy of the Commons
By John Stossel

Every year around this time, schoolchildren are taught about that wonderful day when Pilgrims and Native Americans shared the fruits of the harvest. "Isn't sharing wonderful?" say the teachers.

They miss the point.

Because of sharing, the first Thanksgiving in 1623 almost didn't happen.

The failure of Soviet communism is only the latest demonstration that freedom and property rights, not sharing, are essential to prosperity. The earliest European settlers in America had a dramatic demonstration of that lesson, but few people today know it.

When the Pilgrims first settled the Plymouth Colony, they organized their farm economy along communal lines. The goal was to share everything equally, work and produce.

They nearly all starved.

Why? When people can get the same return with a small amount of effort as with a large amount, most people will make little effort. Plymouth settlers faked illness rather than working the common property. Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions. Total production was too meager to support the population, and famine resulted. Some ate rats, dogs, horses and cats. This went on for two years.

"So as it well appeared that famine must still ensue the next year also, if not some way prevented," wrote Gov. William Bradford in his diary. The colonists, he said, "began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. At length after much debate of things, [I] (with the advice of the chiefest among them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land."

The people of Plymouth moved from socialism to private farming. The results were dramatic.

"This had very good success," Bradford wrote, "for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many. "

Because of the change, the first Thanksgiving could be held in November 1623.

What Plymouth suffered under communalism was what economists today call the tragedy of the commons. But the problem has been known since ancient Greece. As Aristotle noted, "That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it."

When action is divorced from consequences, no one is happy with the ultimate outcome. If individuals can take from a common pot regardless of how much they put in it, each person has an incentive to be a free rider, to do as little as possible and take as much as possible because what one fails to take will be taken by someone else. Soon, the pot is empty and will not be refilled -- a bad situation even for the earlier takers.

What private property does -- as the Pilgrims discovered -- is connect effort to reward, creating an incentive for people to produce far more. Then, if there's a free market, people will trade their surpluses to others for the things they lack. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the community richer.

Secure property rights are the key. When producers know that their future products are safe from confiscation, they will take risks and invest. But when they fear they will be deprived of the fruits of their labor, they will do as little as possible.

That's the lost lesson of Thanksgiving.

Bonnie...payback with an equal amount of love and gratitude (which is unlimited) :)

Yo, thankful, me too. Happy Thanksgiving.

...personally, I don't have a taste for hot dogs. Sausage made of beef and pork, yuk!

...mystery Jean-F of course. (Difficult to size him up.)

FRIEND OR FOE?

Washington hails Musharraf as an ally in the war on terror, but critics make a case that Pakistani leader is a terrorist

...

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/11/11/INQGT6RB4.DTL

Divya that is so funny!!!!!!!

Have you been going over to Townhall too? Har har har! Did you see my response to his article? Har har har! I am going to have to keep an eye on you girl!

In case you missed it here was my response to Stossel's article:

Talking about the land of the free . . .

“The failure of Soviet communism is only the latest demonstration that freedom and property rights, not sharing, are essential to prosperity,” writes Stossel. Actually, a centralized (Moscow) murderous plutocracy, with compliant bureaucratic regional “underlings,” coupled with endless droves of peasants willing to kill for the state instead of starve, and being a nation that had more of it’s citizenry killed than any other nation in the 20th century (in the first fifty years of the century nonetheless!), was many things but a classless stateless society. Verily, And all they that believed were together and had all things common (Acts 2:44). Communist Russia had little in common with the three thousand faithful followers of Peter and the apostles!

And as far as “not sharing” and “property rights” being “essential to prosperity,” mayhap, but it does seem greedily un-Christian, o, that is right, that “gospel of prosperity” thing huh . . .

I have read about the Pilgrims choosing to sleep, steal, kill, or even starve to death rather than work, which is quite remarkable in face of the immense difficulties they must, in fact did, have in establishing these early colonies; thank goodness they came up with the idea of parceling out this “free” land . .

destroy America's unholy corpotocracy!

As far as the aristocrat supreme Aristotle, who had quite a privileged life, ergo he had the time to delve into such grand matters of virtually everything, he was a warmongering, pro-slavery, and pro-abortion (and if the baby was ‘deformed’ immediate death!) kind of dude who was little impressed with the barbarian hordes of Europe, o but wait, the Anglos fancy themselves, via northern Europe, descendants of the Romans, or is that a lost tribe of the Jews . . .

Nevertheless, the witch hunting protesting Calvinists (followers of a Frenchmen ironic no!!) that came to the new world never missed an opportunity to economically exploit their fellow wayfarers, hence Bradford “parceling” out the land for profit incorporated, foreigners or merchants they could not overcome with guns or God, and of course the Native Americans who thought that if they helped these newcomers survive they may gain invaluable technology that would enable them to make short work of enemy Indian nations.

But Stossel’s mantra of securing those property rights by which people can take risks and invest is ever the chant of those who ceaselessly invent, manufacture that is, enemies near and abroad, because in fact war is their only constant invention.

Amen

US daily calls Musharraf a terrorist
23 Nov 2007, Times News Network

WASHINGTON: To the Bush administration, he’s a democrat, a visionary, and a loyal ally in the war on terror. To an ever-widening phalanx of critics, he is a ''thug,'' a ''sonofabitch,'' and now, a ''terrorist.''

As Pakistan’s military dictator, ''president-elect'' Pervez Musharraf strengthened his hold on power with help from a supreme court stacked with loyalists, both the General and his patrons in Washington are coming in for a withering attack from foreign policy analysts who remain unconvinced about their roadmap for the embattled country.

Musharraf expelled three British journalists from Pakistan after their newspaper called him a ''sonofabitch,'' but now he might have to get the American media in the line of fire. In one extreme case, a California daily has referred to him as a ''terrorist,'' attributing the epithet to critics.

''Washington hails Musharraf as an ally in the war on terror, but critics make a case that Pakistani leader is a terrorist,'' the San Francisco Chronicle said in an introduction to an article headlined Friend or Foe - a common enough headline in the US about Pakistan.

The critics it referred to are Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark, co-authors of a new book on Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation and blackmail. Dismissing the Bush administration’s proposition that Musharraf is an ally in the war on terror, the duo traces the former commando’s career in furthering terrorism in Afghanistan, India, and elsewhere.

''He (Musharraf) has always given the impression that he and his troops are Western-leaning moderates. However, the real Musharraf is far more complicated, and a good deal of the time we have paid the General to stand by us, he has been cosseting the forces that are bent on undermining the West,'' they write.

It is a common refrain in the US, where many analysts point relentlessly to Musharraf's dark side of siding with extremists and fundamentalists at the expense of moderate forces, even as the administration certifies his indispensability in the war on terror.

Musharraf is also getting burnt on the Internet, a medium moderate Pakistanis have adopted vigorously to get around the emasculation of print and television in the country. One video posted on You Tube is a song titled ' Ek Sala General in which a critic savages the military rule in Pakistan.

''Ek General sala poori fauj ko hijra bana deta hain...Ek General sala poori kaum ko hijra bana deta hain,'' the sing begins (loosely: One damn General turns the whole army into eunuchs)

Commentators have not been kind to Bush either. One termed his administration ''American Gangsters'' --after a recent movie -- and referring to Bush's praise of Musharraf, said it ''has had no compunction at all about promoting the taunts and threats of the very terrorists they pretend to be pursuing.''

While military dictatorships, and US penchant for backing despots, have been pilloried in the past, seldom has the language and discourse descended to this level.

In fact, there are almost no takers now for the Bush policy of backing Pakistan’s military ruler. Analysts, including former administration officials, greeted Bush’s remarks certifying Musharraf as a democrat with incredulity. '

'Victory for Bush's favourite Democratic general'' one headline sneered after Thursday's court verdict in Islamabad.

Even partisans who have long held that Pakistan’s military is a stabilising force are now concluding that Musharraf has outlived his promise. But evidently, the word hasn't reached the White House yet, where the person who matters most in Musharraf's scheme of things continues to believe he's the man.

Ref. 69

...Interesting story. Really shows how difficult it is for individuals to not put themselves first. Even at the cost of starving to death.

Divya,

Thanks for your honourable mention in your post #69. I liked your thanksgiving history story.

I hope you will be happy to know, that earlier today I passed on your comment about David Hall in # 64 to him in a private e-mail. I also told him that in light of the way he is universally missed around here, that he needed to hurry up and get the volume of his "internet voice" loud enough for us to hear him again at IB.

In the mean time Regards to all my friends who are still posting here, you know who you are.

Craig hang in there Bro.

Norm, we are all waiting for one of your special Thanksgiving Republican rants as part of the desert for what has turned out to be a very good Thanksgiving.

Kind Regards,
Stan

HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO OUR TURKEY BOY(S) Dee/Boocie!

"The Tragedy of the Commons
By John Stossel

Every year around this time, schoolchildren are taught about that wonderful day when Pilgrims and Native Americans shared the fruits of the harvest. "Isn't sharing wonderful?" say the teachers.

They miss the point.:
*********************

Why yes. The foolish Natives should have let them starve.

**************************************
"What Plymouth suffered under communalism was what economists today call the tragedy of the commons. But the problem has been known since ancient Greece. As Aristotle noted, "That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it.""
**************************************

This is a misappropriation of the phrase, "tragedy of the commons." That phrase refers to property outside of private ownership in a context of most property being private. There SHOULD BE some common property, with some mechanism of common upkeep, aka government, otherwise who will prevent environmental problems from arising? Or should General Air own the atmosphere?

The only real question is where to draw the line. There is obviously some value in your little morality tale, but private holdings should not replace all common holdings, especially in an era of diminishing space and too many people (which situation has resulted from the unbridled growth ethic of untrammeled Capitalism.) Capitalism has created the seeds of its undoing and if it wants to survive it will have to make some compromise, ie let there be a reasonable amount of Commons. Otherwise, we all go down the tubes together. (How long can you hire a private army to protect your wealth if sharing / commons is eroded any further?)

***************
"When action is divorced from consequences, no one is happy with the ultimate outcome. If individuals can take from a common pot regardless of how much they put in it, each person has an incentive to be a free rider, to do as little as possible and take as much as possible because what one fails to take will be taken by someone else.

That's the lost lesson of Thanksgiving."
****************

If this parable was not just Ayn Randy fiction and really happened -- and i didn't see any reference to it in Wikipedia or other places outside the foaming Right -- it still cannot have unchecked application, because the world has changed and there's just too many of us. There's not room any more for this ideology without some balance. Further unchecked application of this ideology = genocide, if not geocide.

Jeff, you are BAD!

Happy Thanksgiving Pal! And to everyone else here!

Poor D/boocie's wife/sister...there ain't enough turkey potatoes stuffing and pie in their whole town to fill that little tummy.

:-)

Stopping by to give all my IB friends a hug and thank you all for being a part of my life! Isn't it amazing that thanks to the internet one can know and love people who are so far away geographically. You are all so special to me. We don't even celebrate Thanksgiving here, lol... but I guess it's a good time to tell you. Enjoy your holidays, everyone!

Grace's thread has left me all ear's.......now I can't see the flipping elephant! (riddle-me-ree)

Happy Black Friday!

Ed, do please watch my back. I'm headed out-of-town.
Have a great weekend, ya all! See you Sunday. Peace!

Hmmm Divya, no, I would have said, "Avoid," with a smile.

Hey Richard, if you see this, did you have anything to do with the Bee Movie?

Subtle hints at your whole message.

derek

hithereall,

I am feeling a little under the weather today so I went to the video store and rented Entourage Season Three...going to veg. for the afternoon.

Got to observe a little of the Black Friday shoppers yesterday and I must say it is a sight to behold..the newest thing is that most consumers are now shopping while attached to their cell phones. Really, I observed more than one lady asking a store clerk if there was a certain size in a pile of shirts that she actually had in her hand and could have easily looked threw herself instead of making the store clerk do it for her while she was carried on a conversation on her cell phone. I realized that what I was observing was the same kind of self absorption that toddlers display, it is really no different. This phone frenzy of instant and constant connection is kind of frightening. Everywhere you look someone is talking into a cell phone and not quitely. People were waiting in line to cash out with phones, ringing, loudly. The inattentiveness that cell phones nurture is astounding and it seems people do not think anything of it, at all, like it is the most natural thing in the world to be carrying on your personal conversations in the middle of everywhere. Hey, it's ME and it's all about ME, and, well, you who happen to appear in MY space once in awhile could you please make yourself useful and do this for ME while I take MY very important call!!

The strongest message that cell phones are delivering it the message about there users and that message is....LISTEN WORLD....IT'S ALL ABOUT ME...got it?

have a great afternoon everyone, ruth

hello again,

was reading through my comment and well the errors are numerous but as I said I am under the weather...I think you get my drift...ruth(the orig)

Derek,

I did just happen to read your message it was a spontaneous impulse to come to intent blog and I clicked the thread and scrolled right to it to answer it. You are very powerful.

As far as the Bee movie, yes there is a mysterious force at work, and Jerry Seinfeld does read intent blog scanning for those seeds of unique humor.

Yo Richard
It is in the smallest and most subtle energies that we find the most powerful joy.
I thought of you last summer when in Germany. The bees were so busy that they didn't mind me petting them. I brought back a jar of honey from the town we stayed in. I eat it with much respect.

peace comes from peace

derek

Did everyone have a great weekend? Does this find you dandy today?

Oh, I sure hope so! How many pounds...? Oh, never mind.

Gosh, I love a huge spread and a garden of plenty!

And of course...gee, kids grow up fast if you don't watch too closely.

Have a great day, all you IntentBloggers, you!

.

Oh, yeah...One more thing

.

Man has a spiritual instinct. Say what you will, be ye skeptic or truth-seeker.

.

Ralph Waldo Emerson has this to say –

“A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshiping we are becoming.”

Some might say Man is a spiritual being with an animal instinct, Keith. I want to know, can he rise with it or above it or both? Then, do they appear One in his perception and really beyond any further discussion?

Here endeth the holy shrine of IntentBlog ;)

From now on I worship the Holy Elephant!

Good to see you back, Keith, fine and dandy :-)

Good morning IB!, hope yall had a charming Holiday!

Love

Love this song...

Want To
(Jennifer Nettles/Kristian Bush)

I packed your cooler and a change of clothes
Let's jump and see how far it goes
You got my heart and your daddy's boat
We got all night to make it float

We could sit on the shore
We could just be friends
We could jump in

Whole world could change in a minute
Just one kiss could stop it spinnin'
We could think it through
But I don't want to if you don't want to
Or we could keep things just the same
Leave here the way we came
With nothin' to lose
But I don't want to if you don't want to

I got your ring around my neck
And a couple of nights I don't regret
You got a dream of a degree
And a shirt that smells like me

Yeah, we both got dreams
We could chase alone
Or we could make our own

The whole world could change in a minute
Just one kiss could stop it spinnin'
We could think it through
But I don't want to if you don't want to
Or we could keep things just the same
Leave here the way we came
With nothin' to lose
But I don't want to if you don't want to

Never waste another day
Wonderin' what you threw away
Holdin' me, holdin' you
I don't want to if you don't want to

Or we could keep things just the same
Leave here the way we came
With nothin' to lose
But I don't want to if you don't want to
But I want to
And I want you

Love

Yo Tammy

This weeks show is the finals competition. The competition initially started off with 16 psychics and this weeks competition is the final two most gifted psychics. All the psychics where incredibly gifted but these final two are the most well-rounded in psychic abilities. The show does a fantastic job displaying much of what these psychics can do. It's truly mind-blowing and will forever change your attitude about these individuals. Even the most skeptical among you should view this program because it will give you the proof you've been asking for.

If you missed most of the season, not to worry, as much of it is online.

A big hug to you Keith.

I cant help but wonder about this list? Because truly I am not a fan of the gracious dog anyway, but I did take to the hot dog jokes, like knock knock jokes, so heres one for you;

Knock knock
whos there
me
me who?
Knock knock
whos there?
me.
me who?
you just keep saying that till
the person is smiling : )

I rewrote that part about me in your hot dog speech, because it sucked..sorry

A little all-is-one thanksgiving morning fun

You've probably heard of the Buddhist monk who went up to the hot dog stand and said "Make me one everything". But can you guess what happened?

Well....that would depend on the hot dog seller, would it not?

David Hall: I can't tell you how badly this hot dog needs your honesty, sharing, and especially your exceptional hunger and wit. It is early a.m. here in Colorado but I just know that a string of responses are going to follow this one that echo the same impressions.

Todd: There is nobody there asking for a hot dog and there is nobody here who could sell you one.

Ramana Maharshi: Ask yourself - who is it that asks for a hot dog?

Ruth: .................The ..........hot ..............................
.........dog .............................is ..........................
...............................no,no ..............................the
..........................hot ......................................dog
...................has ...............................................
............................I'm sorry, what was the question?

Deepak Chopra: If you believe in a hot dog you automatically believe in God.

Nisargadatta Maharaj: Focus on the hot dog. Think only of the hot dog. Always come back to the hot dog, the hot dog, the hot dog.

Keith: What knows the desire for a hot dog?
................And what knows the thinking about it?
................What knows the sense of frustration?
................What knows the anger?
................What knows the desire to punch me on the nose?
................!!!Ouch!!! or possibly !!!Och!!!

Harb: I don't have a hot dog here. What I can offer you is detailed instructions on how to find my 'Self-Designed Universe' piece on the Internet.....let's see.......assuming you are a complete mo-ron:

First you need to find a computer. Now a computer is a.......

Kate:
THE HOT DOG
I Am,
You Am,
I/You/Me/We the hot dog IS
IN This THIS Hottest of Dogs
Always
Yours
Forever Hot
And Dogged
:-)

Tammy: Mmmm. :-))) Mmmmm. :-))) This hot dog is a gift from yourself to yourself. :-)))) And would you like to rub my BIG HAIRY ASS as well?

Bonnie: The important thing is to be grateful for the hot dog. You must nurture this gratitude, fall in love with the gratitude. Love, gratitude, these are essential. That will be £380 please :-)

Divya: Ask me in Sanskrit!

Norm: I can't give you a hot dog. You are a hot dog. There is only the hot dog. How could there possibly be anything else but a hot dog?

Ron: First you must look for a hot dog and make absolutely sure that you don't already have one.

Doodleman: Thank you for asking. I am very pleased that you have come to me believing that I may have a hot dog for you. Unfortunately I don't have a hot dog, I have a picture of one if that will do?

;-)

Krishna: The days of this hot dog here on Earth are certainly numbered. Do not grieve for it, but do your cherished duty and dispatch it now. If you can't decide, and life seems like a battle, let me give you a lift on my chariot. There's something I would like to tell you...

DK Matai: One day there will be no trace of this hot dog, nor anyone that ever saw it. Turn your attention to your unchanging hunger. Your search for hot dogs will be over when you see the 1000 petaled lotus and realize your stomach is filled with emptiness

Dr Avtar Singh: It is important to understand that the hot dog is merely the result of a relativistic change in form, when the cold dog is combined with the entropy of fire. If you start to awaken from the 4% materialistic dream that makes you think you have only got a hot dog, you will witness that the belief in the death of the cold dog is an illusion of the Ego which craves for pleasures!

Heather: This hot dog will never understand anything, so yes yes yes eat it now.

Fundamentalist "Christian": Jesus died on the cross to bring us hot dogs, so we don't deserve them and shouldn't enjoy them too much, but we do want to spread hot dog franchises everywhere on Earth, especially in the Middle East.

Max Simon: The joy of eating this hot dog will be a thousand times greater if you just practice my simple system of meditation outlined in the Self-Designed Tour that even the most busy person can do, with of course yoga asansas, Ayur Vedic diet and purification therapy, and jyotish astrology, and you will also be free from all problems except how to pay for it all.

Dalai Llama: This is one of the few remaining traditional authentic Tibetan hot dogs. Our hot dog stands were all destroyed following the invasion. There are hot dog stands all over Tibet, claiming to be Tibetan, but they are owned by the Chinese government, have Chinese employees, and contain easily digested communist propaganda.

North: Every hot, every dog is a visitor. You just say: Welcome. Come in and I'll eat ya!.

Trish: Hot dog stand is a gathering of hot dogs to
discuss their hot dog nature ~~~

Osho: When you eat this hot dog, accept the experience totally. There is no limit to the eater or the eaten, you or the world. Go beyond all boundaries, take off your clothes, rub the ketchup into each others' bodies, and just observe how life will find its own ways of teaching you.

mmmm...

No offense to any of these most wonderful nobodies intended!

Addendum:

hot dog: not if you're a vegetarian
hot dog: on a hot summer's day give him watter
hot dog: I don't beLIEve in them.

Vendor's look: Priceless
