Subject: "On Topic" -"ETCC" Is Dead - Re: "Life Is What You Make It To

 Hello again Everyone...[* -  "BALLOONS"]

"ETCC" is dead...now ceases to exist...(which will put smiles of Relief
on a phew faces (hah).

The spiteful ignorance of some human "clowns" never ceases to amaze me
(this is no 'hit' on the Profession of Clowns and Clowning perse').

Regardless, no amount of grease paint and makeup can hide the ignorance
of souls who pretend to fool in clown-like garb.

True clowning and humor is, and comes from the
heart...unfortunately...the heartless will always exist as it has
through all eternity of mankind's existance ...from the beginning days
of Adam and Eve.

To all my friends here, good-ole-ETCC sez goom-bye. Dem Bloon-Swords
aint taken me head...so...as a 1,200 Year Old Highlander Immortal...ETCC
continues to exist in another venue where fun-people love funnin 'round.

Thanks for all the kind E-mails and make-my-day-uplifts... fun-provoking
LOL thoughts we shared together...along with your most kind best wishes
and prayers when I recently faced a near-death experience.

Incidentally...I have not received any flames...but...after much deep
thought and torrid soul-searching...must most-regretably report ETCC's
demise from this Forum.

My personal philosophy is that there is room for all-philosophies.
However...the Powers that be...don't seem to agree...even though they
are in the minority.

Fools who looks in the mirror...always see their own reflection. 

This is most-sincerely...not sour-grapes regarding ETCC's swan-song. On
the contrary...I forgive their ignorance (butt...stoopiditity?...dats
sumthin' else agen...ETCC sed dat...hah)..."Forgive them Lord, for they
know not what they do" (in the long scheme of things...a small pebble
tossed into stilled waters makes many ripples). 

I wish you all...everyone...Peace and all the best of Joy through all
Eternity. Hoo nose?...we mite evin meet agen in urine next lifetime.

Best Wishes And God's Blessings To You And Yours In Everything Always,
As Always...

PS...Please note...this is not directed at any particular
individual....sew...dontcha go an taykin tit rong...okay?

 I don't believe in censorship...and it's easy to just hit the delete
button on every keyboard...but...my purpose in life is not to go around
creating or looking for  enemies in this world.

Life is too short to take everything too seriously...it can end in an
unexpected split-second...Been there...almost done that...as attested to
in a previous posting of my near-death experience and being in critical
condition in the hospital for six days. 

When you're that close...you get to appreciate it a little more.

 
There are all kinds of "clowns" in this world...and I had to bite my
tongue last month when a "lady-(?) one"... vohemently spouted the venum
of satan in her reply to the fellow who brought up protecting our
Freedom of the Second Ammendment. 

Granted...that Balloon Forum Membere didn't mention the word "Balloons"
in his most important message...but without our Freedoms...we wouldn't
have the choice of Twisting Balloons or anything else for fun
anymore...butt...dats annuder story...hah
 
Like I said earlier...my job isn't to create enemies...just have fun
along the way. 

Some folks laff...some folks cry...six of one and half a dozen of the
other. 

Ya can't please everyone all the time...so why try...it's a losing
battle...perhaps ETCC doesn't belong where not wanted. 
Majority rules in this world...even though they may be the
minority...hah...Take care ...I pray that I haven't offended anyone here
unintentionally.

Pee-Pee-Ess...Oops...almost forgot to use the word
"balloons"...hah...Take
care.

"Please excuse any typos...some are accidental and some are
intentonal...yer job is to figger out witch is which"...hah.
