:cheer:
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

And I do not meet any of your geographic limitations. I am special.
For every human action, there is a rationalisation and a reason. Only sometimes do they coincide.

[footnote: in fact, the goblin had a very bad habit of reposting stuff that he felt might please, in fact he needed to start a edit thread somewhere, he had a lot of editing to get through]

repost from elsewhere

certainly, the goblin thanked the poster for pointing out the plight of the american economy of late, but either way, the goblin's mind, or whatever little remained of it that is, was musing on the idea that somehow those federal financial institutions could solve much of that accusation, that the market is out of touch, or insensitive, or even irrelevant to mr joe average, whatever, if they were to better entice the average american here to participate in the stock market more, by, for example, by creating some special issue treasury bonds that convert upon their maturity straight into food stamps, "...yes, these so called food stamp bonds could be traded freely on the open market, so that the one in ten Americans receiving food stamps at the moment would be able to keep track of their investment in the US economy so to speak..." ventured the goblin, somehow aware that without some sort of intervention soon, his much needed supply of american peanut butter could well be in serious jeopardy, perish the thought

I founded it.... but only because Charlou encouraged my off-hand idea.

("...what, Charlou is here too..." the goblin's mind quickly sifted the implications, so why would queenbot, the notorious russian spy that is, be here now, surely the forum had to have some secret then, and yet to look at it, it seemed like so many other forums out there, no there had to be more to this than meets the eye here, for Charlou is a sharp one)

repost from elsewhere, the "what are you doing" thread

"...well, usual stuff..." started the goblin, continuing "...the captain has asked me to fetch the laundry from the cleaners and to buy toilet paper too, but the bistro was on the way so I'm pondering it all over in my mind to a coffee knowing that as much as her laundry and that toilet paper were of dire consequence to the tranquillity of one's domestic bliss, first I felt that I really ought to rescue forumland from all those trolls of their forum, the writertypes on this one, and from mommies elsewhere, yes it's a thankless task I know but I suppose someone has to do it, but I imagine you do see how dysfunctional these forums become when their members are just left to their own devices upon them..."

("...come back humans, I'm friendly and like your forum)

repost from elsewhere, the "how did you find this forum" thread

"...well I remember now, it was when I stowed away of the prion mothership just trying to avoid my relatives over christmas..." explained the goblin, continuing casually "...yes, this site was in their data log base though to be more exact, under strange human perversions next to highly top-secret bit about their government infiltrations here..."
