Currently musing...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Thinking this could be a place for random thoughts, ponderings, wonderings, whether or not Girls-related.

So I'm reading an article about SSV Dortmund and how cross they are that RB Leipzig's sponsorship by Red Bull goes against the spirit of the Bundelsiga rules.

The thought occurred to me, and this could be a stretch, but...
FC Sankt Pauli, :von:'s football team of choice, has a fierce rivalry with Hamburger SV (SV=SportVerein, or sports club, in German). Given the rivalry, do you think that SSV (as in Screw Shareholder Value) could be a veiled reference to Screw (Hamburger) SV, The Diminutive Dark One getting in a dig at his team's cross-town rivals?

There is a strong possibility :von: did this, even if it was not his primary message.

Currently musing about pondering. What's the difference? Do we need a different thread? Is one more whimsical than the other?

Hmmmmnnnn

@Alex66 ... that book you mentioned is it subtitled "or do I sincerely want to be right" by Antony Flew? It's on my shelf here and has triggered waves of nausea in the past.

Currently musing... whether when Dolphin Taylor (TRB, SLF, SOD) finally hung up his sticks, he should have opened up a shop on Savile Row. Offering bespoke services to delphinidae marine mammals.

I am afraid I don't remember, I can't remember the last time I saw the book and we are all surrounded by boxes ready to move.
