Observers Observe.

[MineralMan]

Today, I am an observer. Once there is nothing else to observe, I will be a poster again.

[VWolf]

1. But you just posted

[MineralMan]

2. Some things are clear. I can post on those.

Some things are not. I'll keep observing.

BTW, you are very observant...

[randome]

3. Be sure to use the right equipment!

[MineralMan]

4. I've got the good stuff today.

When you're observing from a long distance, you need the good stuff.

[Fumesucker]

16. Those aren't binoculars

*These* are binoculars.

[MineralMan]

20. With those, one could observe from quite a distance.

But, what is that observer observing on the floor in front of her?

[Fumesucker]

24. The eyepieces n/t

[callous taoboy]

45. Never take advice.

[lumberjack_jeff]

5. If you don't post, what shall we observe? n/t

[MineralMan]

6. Observe what is observable, but watch out for

cats in boxes. Those may change if you observe them.

[lumberjack_jeff]

8. Did Schroedinger's dog suffer a similar fate? n/t

[MineralMan]

10. Dogs enter boxes less willingly than cats,

so I doubt it. Here's a tip for observing dogs: If the tail is moving, you may safely touch the dog. If not, continue observing the dog until the tail is moving.

[Fumesucker]

30. I don't know but Pavlov's cat was an experiment fraught with frustration

[ananda]

7. Lolz

I'm observing you observing .. and you're observing me observing you ... and

[MineralMan]

9. Ich bin ein Observer!

We are all being observed, it seems.

[Rex]

11. How can you not be a poster when you posted this?

I am being observant.

[MineralMan]

13. You have observed a paradox.

Be cautious. A paradox may react in an unexpected way.

[Rex]

21. Well as long as it is not a contradiction

I'll take paradox, they have outcomes.

[randome]

12. There are known observers, then there are unknown observers.

I think someone said that during the Bush administration.

[MineralMan]

15. Yes, but since I have declared myself to be an observer,

I am clearly a known observer. Do not be concerned, but remain in your home for your own safety.

[Rex]

25. Well played!

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. We have been watching the events for a long time

[MineralMan]

17. I see by your outfit that you are an observer.

Those who are not observers should get themselves an outfit and be observers, too.

[Ichingcarpenter]

28. That's right Walter

"Thank you for hiding the Beacon. I can't touch it myself. I know you have questions. Soon you will have answers."

[MineralMan]

31. Say goodnight, Dick.

[kentuck]

18. You need communication and conversation, otherwise....

everything we "observe" will not be seen thru the same eyes. Unless, of course, one person has a monopoly on the truth.

[MineralMan]

22. Those who have the truth have usually observed much.

They are to be honored with our attention.

[grantcart]

19. Twitters Twit and this is getting close to a twit!

[MineralMan]

26. In a crowd, one is almost always close to a twit.

I've observed that to be a fact.

[randome]

23. Is this another Heisenberg thread?

[MineralMan]

27. That's impossible to determine.

[Rex]

29. Are you uncertain?

nt?

[MineralMan]

32. How could I be otherwise?

It's the principle of the thing, after all.

[Rex]

33. I don't know, I can only guess what your next reply will be.

Your reply is what makes it relative.

[MineralMan]

34. It will be one thing or another.

[randome]

35. I'm not sure? Maybe all statements should henceforth be ended with a question mark?

[randome]

36. Damn? Did that come out larger than I wanted???

[MineralMan]

38. That's what he said...

[Rex]

39. Ohhh....shiny...dam...what were we talking about again?

I am easily distracted by shiny objects...my one weakness.

[MineralMan]

37. Uptalking. Minnesota is full of 20-somethings

who make every statement into a question? I believe it is a sign of insecurity?

[Rex]

40. You think so?

I just learned about 'whitesplaining' the other day...is that kinda that same thing as uptalking?

[MineralMan]

41. A corollary of mansplaining, I believe.

I love portmanteau words. But, then, I love all words, pretty much.

[Rex]

42. They have a word for that.

Wordphiliac. I find words and the wording of words to be intriguing. Why does the word 'word' look strange to me? Perhaps I suffer from pseudovitiation?

[MineralMan]

43. Perhaps. The word "wallet" caused some pseudovitiation in me

at one time. It took a couple of weeks before I could say the word without laughing.

[Rex]

44. That happens to me with such words as 'the'

at times. I dunno why, but the more I look at them - the more alien they start to look and sound. We have observed much in a short period of time.

[MineralMan]

46. Observation is key.

I just reverted back to corporate presentation mode. I need to get back to the website I'm writing.

[MineralMan]

48. Here is my portmanteau for my favorite portmanteaus

Don't you think it's splendiferous?

[Rex]

49. Yes and I find it to be intriguing, based on its luminosity.

Lackluster as it my be, I am vulnerable to shiny things...

[hfojvt]

47. that's me

JAFO

But now you've been thunderstruck.
