The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Hi Sonal, I think some books doth not a movie make ....The World According To Garp, and Clan Of The Cave Bear are notable examples......great books poor movies ( IMO ). I think the thing with Cloud Atlas, the movie was the lack of defined starting point even though it summed well.
That's in some ways true of the book, though it worked in the book. (Mind you, a lot of things worked in the book that really should not.)

Still, I plan to see the movie, but it's interesting to hear what others thought.

Morning Marc, an item that will interest you on SAP this morning, '7 Dumbest Myths About Working From Home' along with duck hunting in Sask, a pig escaping a moving vehicle and a video on a gravity defying cat courtesy of Kim in Calgary.
Morning, Don. I shall check out SAP later today. Off to a meeting now on-campus. Sorry to read about all your snow. :-:)eek::( Way too early to think of snow.

ooh my head. Coffeeing it up this am, have a sold out show in Burlington thatI'm stoked for.

Sinc I had to look at those 7 myths since I live it. Your site would really improve with using wordpress me thinks. Especially the listing of articles on the right sidebar which is a standard wordpress ting that'll allow people to find stuff easier. You should try a 'side install' for a while to scope it out.

Looks like I missed the offer of breakfast I'm too late.

Don, not sure how the hog survived the fall from the truck. Amazing slow motion photography, Kim.

Don, is it my imagination, or were there far more ads today on SAP than normal? Business must be booming for you. :clap::clap:

Good Day Shang.

Afternoon, Kim. The trick with candy is to bury it in the snow and wait until the snow melts to have some.

Yep they certainly could give you a blinding headache!:D

Actually I always wondered whatever became of the candy apple metal flake paint. Nice to know it is alive and well.
