Well, there you have it -- a collection of anecdote that is not evidence. :-) My work here is done. *flies off to Fortress of Solitude*

Superskunk?

Naaah. Just an over-active imagination.

My winged quadrupedal alternate form is the size of a natural skunk and not much smarter; not enough brain to call "super." In normal human-sized bipedal form my IQ is a mighty three points, still not qualifying as super but higher than the IQs of 83% of politicians.

"Don't wizz on the electric fence" is the best musical advice I've received.

Yeah, unfortunately for most of us it's not really possible to walk completely away from family members.

But this reminds me of some other good advice a friend of mine gave me. He had just gone through a particularly bad Easter holiday with his schizophrenic brother, his other brother's nutty wife and her obsessive/cumpulsive brother:

"At all family gatherings, impose a 2 lunatic limit."

but then they weren´t friends in the first place ..

putte
I dont know that I agree with that....someone could be a zealous christian while another person is not....friends do not have to agree or believe on everything and furthermore with friendships comes wisdom...
I think Putte's point was that even if you don't believe the same thing, true friends can still discuss their beliefs. My wife and I are best friends. She devoutly believes in Tibetan Buddhism, whereas I believe that all organized religions are just cultural interpretations of the psychological experiences we all share due to our common physiology. And yet we're able to discuss these ideas without endangering our friendship.
well I took it to mean that if you cant discuss everything you're not true friends...but that imo is not true...

Yeah, okay, after that explanation I'll have to concede the point. Your situation reminds me of a less severe problem I have with a friend who's into all kinds of paranormal activity and New Age philosophies. I can't talk about it with him 'cuase he doesn't discuss it, he preaches. And as soon as you're in a "I am going to convince you to think otherwise" situation, true discussion goes out the window and it becomes a battle of belligerency. If the rest of the relationship is positive, there's no need to junk the whole thing just because you can't see eye-to-eye on every subject.

On the other hand . . . I couldn't really maintain a close friendship with the person you're talking about. I have way too many gay friends.

"If you don't know what you're doing, at least be neat."

which I believe originated from Babble 1-2-3.

The second best musical advice I've ever received was a set of Oblique Strategy cards.

1st edition

So whats the best piece of advice you've ever gotten?
