An Invitation to a Gathering

[Tarina]

This is an invitation To all astral planers, and all pub patrons, on the 16 thousandth 456th day since the earthlings stepped out onto the astral planes...There is to be the grandest of all gatherings, a festive event, for all interplanetary species. I will be there waiting for the president of the Galactic Dimensions to arrive and give a mind numbing display of words, and afterwards a party to beat all parties ever known to interplanetary species!!! This is a Black-Tie event, see you all there! The High Commisioner of the Astral Dimension, Cecelia Pidgeonbottom.

Jeez, it seems I have struck a chord...when did we really discover that there are different planes of existence? I was just trying to start a fun new dialogue/story, ciao for now....didn't mean anything negative, or offending, or , or, or..........

Planes of Existence

1. Plain old simple existence. Ho hum.

2. Cube of existence: work, but it adds another dimension to the plane. Hard to live in a flatland.

3. Elaborate, complex, intricate, involved and detailed. Ah, too much stuff to do!

4. Ornate, decorated, embellished, adorned, ornamented, fancy, fussy, busy, ostentatious, extravagant, showy, baroque, rococo, florid and fancy-schmancy. This are for rich people showing off.

5. Airplane.

6. Astral: of or relating to a supposed nonphysical realm of existence to which various psychic and paranormal phenomena are ascribed, and in which the physical human body is said to have a counterpart.

Okay, I have to confess here, this is not quite the response I was looking for. I can simply say people, may we carry on a story line, or shall we be strictly scientific?

I know; it was just a joke.

See you at the party. I'm getting dressed for it now, although I kind of look like a penguin in black tie. Don't waste any color film on me.

Thanks for the invite, Miss Pigeonhole.

Yes okay, I didn't say you had to wear the whole suit, just the tie!! Joking.....Well I'm glad you're coming because I might end up getting typengitis and not be able to help the President set up his speech....Thanxs, see you there!

I hope you can remember not to joke about a ladies Bottom again, hehehe

Good joke, and good luck with your typhoiditis…

This should be quite an unconventional convention.

The speech will be about… two hours?

.....Black Tie, you say.....

Think I'll bring several if it's going to be a good party. Silk ties are wonderful for a variety of applications.......

block, n. (1) (shortened from mental block) A sort of organic stoprule or safety valve that prevents people from going crazy when they consider thought experiments exploiting combinatorial explosion. "It's a good thing I had a block just then! I was getting a trifle dizzy when he started going on about storing all the possible descriptions of the universe in a book made out of tiny galaxies pretending they're electrons." n. (2) A small but obdurate obstacle preventing the smooth operation of a mechanism, a spanner in the works. Hence, mental block, an objection to functionalism obsessively maintained in the face of all manner of refutations, blandishments and appeals to common cause.


We'll all be suffering from the above if the speech goes on too long!
