I found this site while researching the cancer that killed my mother. At first I thought it was shocking (there are hints they'll help you commit suicide), then kind of cool (the idea of helping you live a dream before you die), then shamelessly preying on a desperate market (they obviously must demand payment in advance). Finally I learned it was simply there to sell a book (read the disclaimer).

I'm not a loony, certifiably crazy maybe, but not a loony. We never babble here, nor do we ramble, chatter, jabber, talk incoherently, prattle, blab, rattle on, rant, rave, twaddle or carry on.
As for nothing being true here, well this is the Museum of Hoaxes. We come here to discuss the truth about said hoxes.

What ARE you babblinb on about Justin?
I followed this thread but never responded because I don't have anything to add. And this is not the kind of thread to add a funny line.
You're response doesn't add anything either Justin. You may not believe in this or agree, but don't call them loonys.

I might substitute the term "tricksters" for Justin's "loonys"[sic]. I've always admired tricksters in literature. Tricksters push the limits of the known world. From time to time, the limits of the known collapse under the pressure, and something new is brought into the world. Hermes had to steal Apollo's cattle and slaughter a tortoise to make the lyre, but the world is all the better for his music being in it.
Sometimes, Myst, we must "jabber, talk incoherently, prattle [and] blab". To move past what we already know--to learn and to create--we have to venture into the unknown. To make new sense, sometimes we have to dabble in nonsense. How can we know what is real and true if we never test our definitions?
By the way, I'm no man's daddy. But I am a son. |

Thomas, I was merely being sarcastic. :-D
Tricksters huh, cool I like that! I rather like the Tricksters myself, one of which is the Norse god Loki, he is so misunderstood by many. |

Nobody tells me anything. How was my tour erassed by Myst and Maegan and Paul and most of all, Keever? I was in Italy, you can't make up things about Ravello if you haven't been there. That's me in the picutre. Are pictures fiction? Look, I aint got all that long until my ride comes, if I aint real, how come? |
