The Doors, yay
I remember this from way back - wow, was it really 1967?
A virgin in so many ways.
Now? Not so much.

'The time to hesitate is through...try to set the night on fire'
Talk about manipulation through aesthetics - '...no time to wallow in the mire...try now we can only lose. And our love becomes a funeral pyre'.

Basically, it's all about trying to motivate the unmotivated.
And sex.

Is sex the prime mover ? In all things?
In religion?
Young men/women are sold the idea of becoming suicide bombers - how, and for what?
To slay innocents, and then party in Paradise with all them young virgins.
So, jihadism is all down to sexual frustration ?

'Jihad Cool' - rebranding military jihad where the young are recruited via social media; music; videos. To be cool. To be loved. To have sex.

Sex to die for. That slays me.

I blame J.C.
How many poems have been written in wonder and awe, concerning the Jaffa Cake, eh?

You seem to be preoccupied with death, Jaffa Cakes and sex, I can't think of an obvious connection between those three things and admit to being slightly intrigued.

J.C. - a girl starts a few threads and writes answers to herself and all of a sudden she is obsessed.
Yeah, I know you only said 'seem preoccupied' but still -
Clearly, I am searching for transcendental wisdom.

Yes, I did only say preoccupied, that's hardly an accusation of obsession.

I doubt you will discover anything profound relating to Jaffa Cakes.

You know how one thing leads to an other.

Hey Harbal,

Are you obsessed with beauty? What floats your boat?

My boat seems to have sunk, Phil, I've had to abandon ship.

So it seems.

Harb,

Do you have a taste for Jaffa cakes? (never tried them myself)

No, not really.

J.C. guys
If you've never tried and loved a Jaffa Cake, you will go straight to hell.
But you won't mind, since it's 0% J.C.

I've never even seen one. I thought they were one of those peculiar things that the English love to eat, like 'mushy peas' and pork pies (eew).

Never even seen a J.C. ?????
Wow - I thought J.C.'s reached every corner of the globe.
