and so the foolishness begins

Noz has done it. He has christened the forum. Actually, it may be more like a bris, but I don't know how Noz aligns himself of late. Suffice it to say that the political discussion has begun with just the right (left? centrist? indy?) tone on the political gazing forum. If you can't laugh at yourself, what is the point of owning a mirror?

Other than that, things are kicking along swimmingly here at anglobaptist.org. I am slowly getting all the requisite affiliations switched over to this blog. I do want to figure out how to set up the Technorati trackback variant. For now I have the "Technorati This" whatsit on my toolbar. It works well with Firefox. I like knowing who is linking to what and for what reasons. This is the joy of the net for me. Connectivity, brothers and sisters, is an ontological state. Ha!

You all have a great day and play well with others. I will continue to enjoy my 80's flashback. Men at Work was a great band. No one should tell you different. It's a Mistake was an underrated tune. Partisan? Yes, but in that Aussie way of international critique. I think REO is coming up next on my mix. I'll see you all later.

[Breaking News!!]It seems like our little corner of the Blogiverse is receiving some recongition. This post made me very happy. I laughed out loud. Thanks to Dylan and Beth. I need to create a link to that wondrous U2 site. It will come. In the meantime, everyone else link to it. Get up off your knees.

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time
If it is can we all come

Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
They've got the bad guys on the run

Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't say he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
He's not the only one
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think
'Cause we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink
We wish you'd all throw in the towel

We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
We'll send a card and flower
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Glad we could give you a grin to match the one on my face when I found out that my name was to be linked with someone with whom I compare myself only when I'm most wanting to flatter myself (I'll leave it to your imagination as to whether I mean Adam Clayton or Paul of Tarsus).

Congratulations on the new digs!

Silly anglobaptist! The point of owning a mirror, of course, is, as Eddie Izzard says, to look into it and say, Yes, I'd shag me.

Narcissism, baby! Proof positive that I AM the cutest thing since sliced bread!!
