"Um...hiya?"
 
  
Hello! Just dropping in. I discovered UF and NXE about three years ago, while looking for synopsis files on NGE. Boy, I should never have picked up that first .txt file for NXE. It spoiled Gainax's version for me for all time. Its a shame, that. I'm more of a lurker, cause I can't ever think of good things to say in relation to a topic. *shrug* I'm looking forward to much more NXE, HL, Twilight, UF, and anything else.

I'll post more as the brain mentions things to me. If you're in Texas for Project A-kon (shame on you Zoner for not coming this year), stop by the KAOS room and say 'Hi!'. I'll be wearing a towel over my shoulder in repect to DNA.

A Zen Master approached a hot dog vendor and ordered a hot dog.
"What would you like on it?" asked the vendor.
"Nothing." said the master, and the hot dog was enlightened.

Wandering off topic...

I don't get this. I would expect a Zen master to ask the hot dog vendor, "Make me one with everything," for some reason. (Probably the same reason that I'd expect a heroin junkie to order a hot dog with the works.)

Would you mind explaining this part?

But change must come from within.

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one--big hitter, the Lama--long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me. Which is nice."

Ye gads! I knew I should have heeded the warning to not drink while reading the forum. I'm glad I had a spare keyboard handy.

According to the Buddha, unhappiness is caused by want. If you want nothing, you will never be dissapointed.

BTW, "Make me one with everything" is standard joke #24754. Walk into a professional comedian's convention, get the mic, and yell "Number two four seven five four!" and everyone will laugh, especially the Buddhists...

But it's all in how you tell it.
