I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.

- Jack Handy

If I'm curt with you, it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you guys to act fast if you want to get out of this. So.... pretty please, with sugar on top... clean the car.

Renting a tuxedo: 130 dollars
Honeymoon: 2,000 dollars
Having one of your best friends streak through the actual wedding ceremony: priceless

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice there is...

by the way, my fave quote follows...
"there once was a man from nantucket"...just kidding
"alright, there's a priest, a rabbi, and..." just kidding again
"this guy walls into a bar..." just kidding again or
"what you are screams so loudly in my ears, i cannot hear what you are saying." r.w. emerson

excuse me, "make ourselves known?" well, dr. manigold, what about those of us that earn their keep being world infamous double agents? would it behoove me to blow my cover as a international spy for a measly little invite into your circle? you bet your sweet yams it would! IM IN!!! i just ask that the circle have a confidentiality agreement, "what happens in the circle, stays in the circle". that way we can all go on living out the routines of our lives without jeopardizing anyone's vocation or our little secret society going on here. i must that that it is especially important in my case because even as we speak i am on special assignment to undermine the UN and i have a team of agents trailing a certain camel-ridin, jesus-cursin, woman-hatin, bush-aggravatin, coward--if ya catch my drift. if this is going to be a society that stands the test of time i also suggest we put together one of them infrastructures. obviously we all know the president of the circle. i nominate myself as sgt. at. arms because i can do undercover work (duh!) and handle the dirty details (snubbing out enemies and circle drop outs) that no one else really needs to know is going on. i also nominate Walton and Johnson as our mascot and the lovely ms. sutton to whatever position she desires b/c she's sweet-n-sassy! let me know what you think. agent focker, out.

Be who you are! Think for yourself! Be a cog in no System! Admonishments, exhortations and calls to authenticity such as these, whose value once seemed beyond argument, have become so prevalent in Western culture, and now emanate from such dubious sources, so that they not only ring false, but have about them the X-ray glow of their own inverted meaning. We're told to think critically by looming, spotlit billboards erected by companies whose product is at best unnecessary, and at worst a direct link to human suffering. The language of resistance is owned and trademarked.

For those of you just invited. I just want to tell you this... You are the R. Paul Manigold "Circle of Trust" use your position wisely. For, "with great power comes great responsibility".................... (Insert Dr. Evil laugh track here) Much Love Rob

This is probably one of my favorite quotes....

"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but he who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat."
-- Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) at Sorbonne

Today has started out kind of lame in that I walked out of my door into superflydense fog. I mean, wicked dense. If it were any denser I would have had to swim to work.... Anyhoo, It has started to get better after reading The Word and realizing that I am not in this thing called Life alone...

Dude..... I'm a little slow inviting people... but, when you do get here I invite you to make yourselves known...

this is a glimpse into the world that is R. Paul Manigold.....and Friends...........
