I found myself counting stars and posts because I don't want to be one of those fellas that has like a million posts and three stars. Sometimes I
want to comment but I have 8 more comments than stars and so I will log off and wait.
It is a mental problem. I recognize this as a personal quirk as well as unreasonable and yet there is little I can do about it. My girlfriend bites
her fingernails and can't help that either. They are similar I think.
Meanwhile I have a few favorite posters who seem to always spout wisdom or insight and I star them. Find myself looking for their other responses on
the thread. Scroll through and star posts of theirs just for the heck of it- because they are almost always right or at least simpatico and I star
them as a measure of support. To generally up their stars.
To those opposed I DO read the comments over quickly so I am not starring idiocy - we all have those moments if you are a frequent poster but I would
say that generally speaking I am generous with the stars and dole them out quite liberally. Is it any coincidence I am LIBERAL in my political
leanings?
I wonder if there are those people who are CONSERVATIVE and do not give out stars at all?
Does conservatism spread to other areas of life?
But now these are stars - worth nothing, not dollars and so I am trying to understand a mindset that might be cheap with them. It is like trying to
learn a foreign language.
And here I am throwing stars around willy nilly.
Maybe I should be more conservative?
For a moment I found myself equating with a poor beggar.
I might just ask for stars - like a bum with a tin cup...just get out there and beg.
Brother can you spare a star?
I wonder how a beggar will fare in these tough times?
Are people holding back or will they give generously?
And since you came here for jokes: (working for stars)
Star light, star bright First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might.
Oh shoot! It's just a satellite
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
In class when students say to me, "Are you Serious?" My reply is: "Yes...like the brightest star in the night-time sky, I am Sirius!"
From the remark of Sherlock Holmes: "It's a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence." It follows that astronomers are bad
detectives.
Copernicus' parents: "Copernicus, young man, when are you going to come to terms with the fact that the world does not revolve around you?"
Hope I made you smile.
You don't have to star me - go out of your way to be nice to someone else today.
No h8rs in the JOKES section puleeze!
