Based on his posts, I believe that Bobbestk lives on another planet with Karen Bullock and Leonardo Di Capria. Further, I believe that his wireless transmissions to MOL are being intercepted and reinterpreted by alien beings as the method of scoring points in a demented sport. | ||

The Oracle believes in us. -s. BTW: Of course, he's living in a condo in Boca these days, so he might be wrong... | ||

I believe that when I left the room with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th inning of game 6 of the 86 World Series announcing that I am bad luck to the Mets, that this action set into motion an implausible series of events which enabled the Mets to win not only game 6 but game 7 as well. FYI I was nowhere near a TV for game 7. Further FYI... I'm a Yankee fan and only did this because I wanted the Series win for my friends and family who were Mets fans. | ||

I believe GWB lost twice. I also believe that there's a Woodward-Bernstein team of the internet age out there that will one day prove this (Unfortunately it probably won't happen until DUMBYA's out). | ||

I believe that there is a prime mover. I believe in spirits. I believe in coyotes. I believe that MTV and 24 news is evil. I believe that we are all good until we choose not to be. I can't believe it's 2005. | ||

I believe (in hindsight) being a woman at 40 is a heck of a lot better than being a woman at 25! | ||

I believe in karma. Not in the Buddhist definition but in the moral / colloquial sense - what comes around goes around, do unto others... I can't prove that the world operates this way but I remind myself that good things come to good people. It is another reason for me to withhold revenge when someone does an unkind thing to me (like that person who didn't take my Palm Pilot to the lost and found...). | ||

"Well, I believe in the soul. The ****. The *****. The small of a woman's back. The hanging curveball. High fiber. Good scotch. That the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitution Amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve. And I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days...Goodnight" And I believe this is one of the best baseball movies ever made. | ||

I believe Wittgenstein is correct when he says, "My aim is: to teach you to pass from a piece of disguised nonsense to something that is patent nonsense." |
