I've lived and visited many states, Kansas is UGLY. REALLY UGLY. It's flat, it's a land of tumbleweeds, I wonder where the heck fake place she was? The only ok places are not natural. Kansas is naturally a bleak prairie.

And I thought this shot from my place wasn't ugly.

It's gorgeous.

THIS is ugly Kansas:


It somewhat matches Evo's description.

Maybe that's what she meant...

I've actually hung out and done a few things with one of these band members; albeit many years ago. I don't think you'd want to tell him he's ugly as he's a really big man. Just sayin'.

But there's a beautiful Marshall amplifier to the left, I like that. I can't really distinguish the logo on the cabinet to the right - it might be an Ampeg - which also is nicey nicey. Two of my favorite brands.

It's okay, you can just say drugs

 

[Enigman]

Didn't get your implication and after visiting the url I've decided its better not to.
Enigman=enig+Man.
From Urban Dictionary-

Enigman-A person that is Enigmatic. No one really knows who he TRULY is or what he's REALLY about. He's either secretive while seeming so open and wonderful by all outward appearances or the opposite; he seems to be one thing, but is really something else.

 

[AnTiFreeze3]

Didn't get your implication and after visiting the url I've decided its better not to.
Enigman=enig+Man.
From Urban Dictionary-

"Person" = male/female.

And there's nothing really "" about androgyny. There are all sorts of locations on the gender scale, some of which leave a person right in the middle, feeling rather neutral.

His intended implication (from what I gathered) is that an enigma is meant to be something inexplicable or puzzling, and that having your name essentially being the word 'enigma' doesn't make it overly obvious as to your gender. You can't expect people to know the definition of an obscure word on urban-dictionary.

Also: wo+MAN. Having only part of a word implying something doesn't mean that the word itself denotes that very thing.

 

[Enigman]

...Also: wo+MAN. Having only part of a word implying something doesn't mean that the word itself denotes that very thing.

Interesting fact about the etymology of man: Man used to signify both the genders (gender neutral) and the genders were differentiated with prefixes 'Vir' (also 'Wer') and 'wyf'. Therefore the male human was called virman and female was called wyfman. Wer is also the root word of werewolf; probably explains the dearth of female werewolves in legends. Wyfman in time gave rise to the term woman and wyf to wife.

Also Hermaphrodite= Hermes (God of masculinity )+ Aphrodite (Goddess of femininity)
From Hermaphroditus- (son of the above) according to the legend the first androgyn - originally was a boy with whom a nymph fell in love with and then forcibly hugging him prayed to the gods that they should never be parted again.

was the only thing that seemed to describe my confusion at the implication and no bigotry was intended.

As far as the word 'Enigman' is concerned I made that word up in high school as a cross between Enigma and Man. I stumbled upon the definition in Urban Dictonary much later, though it does fit rather nicely...

Yes, AnTiFreeze3 got it. Sorry, Enigman, if you found it weird . I was just trying to make a continued joke on what you said before about the avatars (and also considering what dlgoff wrote above).

"The only ok places are not natural" - Evo

Seewudimean?

And of course, they are a fine band, and by the standards of the time that picture was taken, probably good looking in a rock band sort of way.

I am shocked too.

I'll never tell.

Actually, This Guy was a close friends with the piano (Randy) in the little band I was in at the time. That's how I got to know him. Randy began having problems with his playing hands and ending up dying from a brain tumor IIRC and Kansas dedicated an album (his name on it's cover) to him.

Therefore the male human was called virman

Interesting, thanks for sharing

I like the idea of calling a woman "wife-man." It seems also as if it should be the name for a superhero.

Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of going for a sweet, lazy, slow ride around a lake in a restored Chris-Craft boat. Very nice way to pass the time .

Vir is also the root word for virility.

I am working on WF4.0 book and reaching chapter 4, target is 7 within today.
Last night I finished chapter 7 of beginning ASP.NET4.5, target is 12 tonight. Finish 2 books this week, then attack Pro ASP.NET next week on, hopefully

As I recall, from my younger years, a sweet, lazy, slow ride around a lake, in an inner-tube, was also a nice way to pass the time.

But boats are cool too, I suppose.

17 hours to digest me and luckily I passed chapter 7 in my Beginning WF (Windows Workflow in .NET 4.0) by Mark J. Collins. I change my target up to ~15th Chapter to be done within today.

 

[Evo]

I wonder if my age made me harder to digest?? A tough old bird??

 

[inotyce]

I just had a phone call from one of the previous companies I had an interview with that I might probably be accepted and have to move to US to work onsite there for a couple of months. I am worried. Because I think as long as I could work the job I like with a high payment, I definitely prefer to stay put in my hometown, I don't need to look out for chances to go abroad to work to learn in order to burden myself with a bunch of worries and get bullied and intimidated by what others do or say to me. Not to mention the workload might get me stressful.

I've been to neither Kansas nor Ohio. Is Kansas anything like Ohio?

The spirit of Kansas pioneers lives on in its astronauts and their travels into space, the final corn field.

Beards are scary.

The metal roof is howling from the rain. No thunder yet, but I wouldn't be at all surprised. Lola wants to go out, but I don't want to let her because she loves rain, and won't come in willingly.

Saw something very strange today. Stopped at a red light driving into town. Crossing the road was a scruffy looking old man wearing a big leather falconry gauntlet on one hand, with a HUGE owl sitting on it. I don't know what species of owl - its head was the same shape as a barn owl but it was two or three times bigger, and all white (not brown and white like a barn owl).

The guy also had a scruffy looking white Scotty dog trotting along behind him, on the end of what looked more like a piece of string than a lead.

Nope, I haven't been taking any "substances" recently...

It's not that I'm against beards so much, I just love a clean-shaved face.

Clean shaved faces are not scary.

Do men realize that they look about 10-20 years older with a beard? I don't mind a couple of days growth, scruffy is fine, it's even sexy if it's groomed scruffy, beard longer than your chin...Uh.

And I admit, 1 out of 50 million men can carry off a short, well trimmed beard.

And yes, I did look at 50 million pictures of men with beards. Right this moment I am watching a show with 5 men, 4 have beards, and no, it is not "Duck Dynasty".

So we're talking about beards in here?

I wish I had a superior beard.Never had the balls to let it grow for an entire year though.As I'm losing my hair I feel the need to compensate with some facial hair of some sort

Toothpaste does weird things to my tongue these days. It didn't used to, this started about 5 years ago. After I brush, my tongue feels kind of...numb. For a long time, too - like a couple hours!
