Just reading about the darkness of light falling, or was it darkness of night - I remember now the poet Naruda telling us: we must sit on the edge of the well of darkness, and fish for light, or something like that. If it was actually that, he probably wouldn't be as famous as he is. Train of thought has slipped, or slept - I remember: the darkness falling - time to reach a trembling hand to break in half (do I have the energy, the willpower?) a little xanax, which actually belongs on the other BB. And all silly aside, whenever I've ever participated in a chat room, or BB, I've always been the funniest, smartest, and cleverest. And I have truly not only been matched, but have been surpassed - the wit, humor, intelligence, and any number of other things I'm sure, is ...lost the train....I better get the xanax or I'll be feeling intimidated actually.

Fellow Lumps:
FINALLY< Lumptonian weather is here! This means less shaving, big sweats, bulky sweaters, flannel robes, comforters, and more excuses not to go outside...all that stuff so precious to us.
Another tip:
Coffee-hounds like me (not to worry-I'm immune to caffeine)should find great pleasure in chocolate-covered coffeebeans - you get your chocolate, your caffeine and your sugar all in one little box, no fuss. The problem is getting them from Starbucks or B&N to your couch. I'm still working on that one. SGH

Dear SGH,
YES!!!!!!!!!! ::::thinks about dancing wildly about the room -- thinks again:::::
For me, the only problem is that my WH thrives on sunlight so as the season darkens, he and I both think hibernating thoughts, which leads to interactivity on the couch which I think might be in violation of Lumptonian conduct!
In fact, his need for sunlight drives me out-of-doors so he can get his batteries recharged. Now if that's not a conflict of Lumptonian thoughts, I just don't know what is!!!!!!

As Chocolate appears to be the national food of Lumptonia, it is only proper to acknowledge the citizenry who wear the badge of honor thereof, including the Ambassador himself: Sticky Brown Lips.
This can be accomplished by usual methods of chocolate eating (the kind that melts on your mouth), by eating but not inhaling Nestle Quik out of the can, or, as our Ambassador has indicated, by swigging directly from a container of chocolate syrup.

Because Lumptonia will never have an offical dance, except for dancing around issues having to do with getting away from the couch, the discovery of a description of the official walking posture replaces all other forms of ambulation.
As curator, I found this extremely important to include for those few brave Lumptonians who venture (gasp) out of doors. Some may not know the posture and want to practice. For others, who live with Normals, they should know they are not alone in suffering at the hands of their loving and well-intentioned others. This description is from one who suffered greatly one morning:
"So I went for my walk, and managed, during sobbing aloud, my body slightly bent over, to have my arms hanging down in front of me, (the official walking Lumptonian position)..."
The sobbing is officially optional, but suggested.
The Right Honorable Hysterical Curator,
Shar

Permanently re-formed by his couch, the Ambassador has pretty much returned to knuckle-walking.
However, he has found the new shape to be excellent for perusing the refrigerator.

You are absolutely right. Sticky Brown Lips are the lips of Lumptonia!
I would like to remind our people how vastly superior that is to the Sticky Brown Noses so commonly found among the Normals.

As a consequence of the Ambassador's Outburst, as new Prime Ministerette, or Prime Ministress, I am entitled to wreak the following punishment: he must tell us what citalopram is, and where we all can get it, and by rights, he should send the first one for free.
And while we're on the subject, not only was I asked by my WH what I'd like for dinner, but he cooked it all and served it to me, though he forced me (yes, again) to come to the kitchen table to eat it. When will the rings and marrows of mouth-ages portune something sweet?
As befits true Lumtonian, when it became dark, I wanted it to stay light, and now that it's dark, I don't want the light to come again and make me have to (shudder) function.

Lumpacious Curator: I am humbled and honored and, yes, even slightly hobbled, at having the Walking Position put into the Archives. May I suggest to those who may choose sometime to actually assume that position that it is imperative that a loose upper garment is worn -otherwise, while the arms hang down in front, dangling, a tight garment could make unsightly wrinkles and stretches that anyone walking behind would be able to witness. Do I overstep my position of Choreographer? And at this time, I'd like to submit a request to our esteemed Ambassador: that I be allowed to hold a dual office, or in a feistier moment, a duel office: that of Prime Ministrette/Ministress AND Official Choreographer. Is it greed that drives me to this? And as an aside, the Ambassador has special dispensation to be able to walk on his knuckles any time he wants.

>Thank you dearest Prime Ministress Emmanuela for this special grace.
Actually the Ambassador never knew they were knuckles until recently. He had always just thought he had short fingers until someone pointed out to him the two digits on the other side.
Boy, I don't have to tell you what pure hell it has been for the him tryin' to get inside his Nestle's Quick cans.

I think not. I believe it is your powerful sense of duty and citizenship, your love for your country and possibly a substantial amount of over-medication.

To the Lumptonian People,
It should be noted that I asked Emmanuela to consider the position of Prime Minister Of Lumptonia which of course has needed to be filled.
How did I come to consider her for the job? Well, in conversations with her I came to feel she was a person of a both erudite and political nature.
How did I come to that opinion? Well, she told me she was that way in those very words.
She also reminds me of Winston Churchill.

>Citalopram is Celexa, an antidepressant of the SSRI persuasion and the Ambassador has tons of it. It seems that the people in the Ambassador life are elated that he's taking medication to the point where he's not only getting stuff from his three doctors, but from his friends, his family and people around the country he hasn't even seen in years.
The Ambassador does not understand this bizarre behavior and is rather dreading Christmas because of it.

Dear Mr. Ambassador,
I am loathe to bring a problem to your attention when you're talking turkey (surely that's what you meant by fowl speaking?), but apparently, the Messiah has run off again.
Of course, it could be a Messianic test to see if we could find her, or she could be out missionarying with other potential Lumptonians, or maybe she's gone on retreat (but what's the couch for then????). But, she did post a crucial list of Messianianical missives under a separate heading. Our Esteemed Historical Curator had to track her down to capture her words of wisdom and decrees from her own sticky brown lips, and had it not been for that exhaustive search by our EHC, we might never have known that nubile young slaves made of ginger snaps can be formatted.
Would a word from you help bring her back into the fold?

Dear Esteemed Historical Curator,
As you know, Lumptonians prefer a low profile, as so eloquently expressed by our Prime Ministeress, but there are claims being made by others that are rightfully Lumptonian.
Of course, I refer to Fuzzy Logic, the Theory of Chaos and Black Holes. There are mathematicians and physicists who are laying claim to these theoroies. We Lumptonians know that they are not theories, but realities. In fact, it is only a true Lumptonian who can master fuzzy logic while practicing the theory of chaos in a black hole.
Undoubtedly, you're exhausted from having to track down the Messiah, Messianiac Personage, or whatever it is we are to call her, but I'd hate to see Lumptonia be denied its rightful praise for developing, proving and practicing the above-mentioned "theories."
For your consideration, sincerely and humbly submitted by Sterling CPE

As I have had training in these areas, I will incorporate them into my curatorial responsibilities, and include them in a special section of The History (or should that be Herstory?) but only if I get another title (as noted in the subject line).
Are we agreed, m'lady CPE?

I may have inadvertently posted this twice. As previously mentioned, I am a computer idjit, and have difficulty following the simplest instructions. Is that Lumptonian? Not the computer idjit part --- the difficulty following instructions but, then again, I did follow instructions because I'm now calling you the High Priestess of Theoretical Realities, but I'm still a computer idjit.
