Is this a euphemism for "Tdubbs is inside the Lego version of Chubby Julie in Oleg's miniature Lego community"?

Yes, Legos.

Anyone unfurl a bedsheet with a tempera painting of Lassie on it?

How about you build a time machine, then go back in time so you can sleep with your grandmother and become your own grandpa?

How about that?

That's too 12 Monkey's Futurama for me.

Fry'ed.  Fried?

Through MSP?

Aye.

Same-day turn?  NWA.com is showing $139 base for not too crazy late Saturday/early Monday itineraries.  I'm a bit weary to dig up the fare basis, and probably should not have resuscitated this long-dormant hobby.

RT flights from Minny to Chicago are at $800

Through MSP?

I'm not sure I can add much aside from general good wishes for the kingdom of Tonga, which I have long held.

Fifty quatloos if anyone can turn up an Easter Parade.

Actually, I don't suppose there are any fans of modern British folk amongst the Desipiots

The Incredible String Band (as it were) appeared at Woodstock?  Maybe I'm not dead yet.  Or the other way around.

You can do Lovin' Spoonful covers, or songs about catheters.

Worst-case scenario is memorization of "Blackbird."

I feel like I've seen that name tossed around as a pretty decent one, though this is of course it's bottom of the range.  Still, might it be worth it?

Speaking as someone who bought my (ex-) wife a guitar as a birthday present, I'd suggest not fretting too much about the model.  If it takes, it takes.  (Do pick up an inexpensive tuner, though.)

The whole operation works much better as a partnership, of course.  Get yourself a mandolin or kazoo, or electric jug, etc.

[Edit.--Autoharp, perhaps.]

Well, I'll be jiggered.

Do you have some sort of fetish for Eastern religion? 'Cause you seem quite articulate on the subject--along with just all other mysticistic jibber-jabber in general. Your mannerisms seem a little more highbrow then what would be expected on such a site: is this just your way of flexing your secondary learnedness in front of those less as such? Seems your just taking the easy way out, actually; but, you shouldn't, you give yourself too little credit. Just stick with it, you're still a young kid. Actually, I take it back, these other guys are bright, as well. So, nothing ventured nothing gained, though, right. As the old man in the coat furred with oak lucidly said thrice to the setting sun.

Aw, crap, I'm afraid I've missed all of this as a result of recovering from an amateur Beckerovka treatment for gout some three days ago.  Did I actually post the koan regarding shaving the dog versus writing "insert here" on your toddler brother's rear end and setting him loose in the neighborhood?  It's the last thing I recall.

Ohmmm.

Zen (Seon) doesn't really employ mantras.  Anyway, while I love me a good hwadu, a closer analogy might be the epilogue to "Berlin Alexanderplatz."  It's not deliberate, aside from the fact that I really do think the Beverly Hillbillies went a long way toward making a sort of utopianism popularly cognizable in the '60s.

Well, my kind does. 

Syncretism is always popular.  The "Holy Mothers" strike again?

Exactly.

I remain convinced that Terry Gross lives in a tank, like a member of the "Spacing Guild."  But anyway, as a matter of gratuitously insulting Noam Chomsky:
