Iowa or Heaven? MT2 or Paradise?
As 'Shoeless Joe' Jackson, one of those responsible for the infamous Chicago Black Sox Curse, asked, in the book based on the story of the
'Black Sox Eight' (and what happened to them all,
after they had died, having finished their lives forever banned from the game that had
been their whole life)---"Hey! Is this Heaven?", and the young farmer who had turned his farm into a baseball-field so that 'Shoeless' could come back and play ball again, one more time, even though decades had passed since his death, replied, "Uh---no, it's---Iowa... "
...that after being on
this site since 2004, and even though I've seen many great and wonderous things created and or just worked out
until they worked...
I never expected to download Optimus Prime (the
real one, the
original), the first four Doctors (back when the actors played the
genuine Doctor, not make-shift stand-in's who are either dweebs in
pinstripes(
!!!????) or genocidal psychotics!), the Holy Imperial Romanov Family-Martyrs (the
real, historical, and
last Russian Imperial family, executed by the Russian communist revolution in 1918), Patrick McGoohan as John Drake/Number Six, & Sarah-Jane Smith (Ultimate Companion of Companions!)---
all in the same week!!!!!---I wonder if it hasn't been Paradise here all along, and I just hadn't noticed yet...
Thanks to the creators, the modders, and the sysops who make our dreams live...
(I'll be finding the Thousand-Year Queen here next... )
