My Dearest Friends of TV:

 

Now that I have begun setting up digs in Kyoto, and now that I have more time to let my mind run wild, I have recently been plagued with this idea of what it might be like to have sex with Noam.

 

What do you think it might be like?

 

Most women, from my experience, get hugely turned-on by guys with BIG BRAINS, and not so much little tools, or even big tools.

 

Therefore, please put yourselves in the shoes of a woman who has the chance to enjoy a one-night-stand with Noam....

 

What do you think she might be feeling.

 

And, even if you were a man, would you be willing to pay money to have sex with Noam, just for the notoriety of doing so?

 

Being here in Kyoto, I feel so much less stress, and this helps me to let my mind wander, from one thing to the next, just considering the plethora of hookups and connections in life that might be possible.

 

Please do not worry, because, I now have more important work to do, these days, after my arrival in Japan, other than to post important and thoughtful topics on TV.

 

I just wanted to post one more, before I call it quits for awhile.

 

And, as I say, I am very sincere about calling all of you, or at least most of you, My Dearest Friends.

 

Best regards,

And no longer feeling any pain, these days,....

NOTE:  Noam is AMAZING.  I feel lucky to have followed Chomsky during the past few decades.  I just wish I could find some way to implore God to grant Noam another 94 years of life.  We need great men like Noam in this world.

 

What is it they say in the US Marines?  Good Men Like Us?

What is the PHRASE that was often used in the film....GARDENS OF STONE?

 

 

 

Here's To Us, and Good Men Like Us?

 

After so many years, I cannot even recall the phrase.....and so solly.

 

Maybe:   

“Here's to us, who's like us Damn few, and they're all dead.”

― Rabbie Burns

 

For sure, there are Damn Few Noams in this world, and such the pity....!

 

 

 

 

 

Do I have to be a girl...?

NO...

Of Course...NOT.

 

Why would you even ask the question?

 

Noam protested the Vietnam War harder than almost anybody....from his seat of TENURE at MIT, as you may recall....

 

 

not even gonna attempt to read all that drivel!

I was hard, but I was too young to be protesting the war...

I apologize for my two flippant posts. Could not resist.

 

Fact is, I was a little young to really be exposed to Chomsky, although I do remember hearing his name often.

Plus, my life in the midwest was considerably "sheltered".

 

The thing I remember the most about that time was seeing the "war statistics" at the bottom of the screen while I was watching TV. Numbers of soldiers killed, number of planes downed, etc. It was anxiety inducing to say the least, as I was about 4 years away from drafting age, and was certain I would have to go.

 

That said, I have known a number of women who have admitted to being seriously "Sapiosexual".

Also had a friend who was a professor at a University, and he had endless stories...

You are such an odd person, Gamma...

I thought you were talking about Noel Shempsky off of Frasier....

Why don't you get exposed to him now? He is just as active and Brilliant even at 94. 

Why The OP would disrespect him by posting this thread is beyond me. perhaps he ate a bad batch os sushi,

I see you are finally facing your inner fears. Good for you.

Yes.

I was born before pancakes were invented, even.

 

And, no regrets for this.

 

I hate waffles, too, as well as waffling.

 

Maple Syrup, even from Canada, leaves me cold.

 

 

Now if you had asked that question about Einstein, I would have understood. But Chomsky even in his MIT days looks too anal for a woman to have any interest. But frankly at 94 years of age now, could he even get it up, could he even satisfy a woman?  

 

Einstein had charisma, Chomsky has none. 

I absolutely love your passion for things which are largely, beyond my comprehension. I do not consider myself a simple soul but each man has different passions and interests.

 

I hope you have a wonderful time during your new life in Japan. Don't stay away from AN for too long. Keep us all both educated and entertained. 

I would but I would be thinking of Krashen.

Moved into "The Lounge" . A more appropriate area for GG topics.

As I always say.....

 

Mother knows best.

 

And...Thank You, Sir!

 

Take Care, My Good Friend!!!!!

 

Best wishes from Japan!

 

(I am sure that you know "Mother" from one of the SPY Novels that we once read when we were young.)

 

Best to you!

 

May you moderate for Eternity, if I had my wish!

And, this is my very honest hope....

 

 

Would I as a man, have sex with Noam Chomsky?

 

Gonna be a hard no from me, Dawg. He looks like the grandad of the guy with the Kramer avatar here -after a long illness.

 

Fun Kyoto fact: Pop into to some of their used furniture and bric a brac stores. John Lennon and David Bowie were huge thrift shoppers there. Often, by the register, they will have left a signed photo. 

 

'Wouldn't shag either of them either.

 

Have you done The Poet's Walk? Def de-stressing. There's a mid-priced omakasi behind the station worth googling to find. The $200 typical meal is about half off. There's a famous okonomoyaki restaurant there too. High end oko means you're spoiled for good against the trashy kind.

 

One time, I went to a single dish Unagi place. A guy died right after I ordered. They made everyone stand out on the sidewalk for a half hour, but they still served the food.

 

Def pay up for legendary one dish stuff like tempura in a 200 year old specialty restaurant -usually less than $20-40 to have the best of the best in the world of a specific dish. Tofu at a temple restaurant is another worth-it splurge.

 

There's a couple of unagi-only places in the back streets near EmQuartier Mall in BKK. Only order a half of the eel, a full one is for two unagi addicts. Prob the fattiest fish in sushi-dom. Not much fall off in quality from Japan -about 500 baht for a half an unagi, some lovely rice, an upper tier miso soup, and a few specialty pickles.

Hmm.

Definitely not now.

So I looked up his pics as a younger and middle aged man.

Nope and nope.

He used to look a bit like Stephen Colbert though.

Also a nope.

Thank you, JT, so much, for kindly commenting on my measly Topic.

 

And, since you have been so kind, I wish to reciprocate in equal measure.

 

I have long-felt that you might benefit from listening to the WTC, both Book One and Book Two, while you are posting comments on TV, slaving away as I know you do, day after day, for the good of the forum, and do not think that we all do not much appreciate your great effort.

 

In fact, there is probably not one among us who does not stand in awe of your herculean effort.

 

It is my thinking that Richter might be "right UP your alley", hee-hee....~!

 

You see?

Sometimes I can make jokes, too....

 

Personally, I prefer the feminine touch, such an Angela Hewitt, for most of JS Bach piano...

But, when it comes to the WTC, Book One and Book Two, it's "HARD" to "BEAT" Richter, IMHO....

 

JT, I have been reading your great work for many years now, and probably about a decade.

I never tire of your insights.

 

If, JT, you prefer a male performer, then I think Richter is for you...

 

Both Angela and Sviatoslav are dynamite, with their own interpretations of the WTC, and who can say that BOTH are not sublime!

 

Well, try some of this the next time you post a comment.

I can guarantee you can listen to this at least 300 times and never tire...

Which, I imagine, is something that you found it difficult to say, in your HEYDAY, which must have been as prolific as your commenting is now....

 

I have been listening to JS Bach for most of my life, at least over 60 years.

The music is great enough to help me to maintain some hope for mankind, even after all we have seen since the "new age" beginning with the Holocaust and with the first explosion a a nuclear weapon, and let's also not forget the firebombing of Tokyo...too...

 

JT:  I hope you will, once again, renew your listening of the WTC, and JS Bach, and enjoy the splendor of it, and the magical beauty of it....

 

Take Care, JT, because, ....

Because, I have always enjoyed your comments....

And, for no other reason....

 

 

Please NOTE:

 

JT:  Do you ever wear a white bow tie?  If so, I just wish I could see you in it, and not much else....  (Just dreaming, JT.)

Most people are....in fact.

 

Chomsky grew up in Philly.

 

The city of Brotherly Love.

 

Chomsky is serious about life.

He cares NOT about pursuits such as Golphing....

 

IF we do not ALL begin getting serious about life, soon....

Then SOON there may be no life on the planet Earth....

 

Or, at least, there soon may not be organized human civilization...

 

You can joke all you like...but...

Reality will still bite you in the ass.

 

Most people just want to live their lives without thought of the future...

 

And, I am talking about the people in the WEST....

 

And yet, many times on this forum....commenters say that Thai people are unique in this respect...i.e....

Thai people do not plan for the future, and do not think of the future....

 

IN FACT:  It matters not, seemingly, just because, as can be plainly seen, East or West, Thailand or some other country,....

NOBODY seems serious about the implications of our reality...and...THIS is why many people hate Chomsky....just because....

 

Noam NEVER let's us forget the reality in which we live.

 

(Chomsky has been criticized for a few things he said, such as misinterpretations about his past statements about Cambodia, etc....  But, nobody is infallible, and, also, many of Chomsky's statements have been intentionally distorted and misinterpreted, just because there are those who find Noam....irritating for reminding them of facts which are inconvenient.  Chomsky is not a humble man, by any means...but...then...WHY SHOULD HE BE?)

 

Love him or not, I like him.

 

Love him carnally, or not, I have no interest in this....however....

 

 

HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!

Noam advocated for having people like me rounded up and put in camps.  I'd pay a hefty sum to boot fk him.  

 

My gf, on the other hand, has admired Noam (since she was a teen) for his work in linguistics. 

Leave us alone GG, annoy the Japs!

Bizarre! Assumed you would stop posting to THAIvisa after you said you were escaping to Japan 🫤

Chomsky is not what he used to be.

Bizarre?

 

You should try reading Eugène Ionesco, and selections from the Theatre of the Absurd.

 

Sexual concourse with Noam is nothing compared to Ionesco...

 

 

If I woke up one morning as a girl, I'd never left any guy pork me unless he was sterile, had a full STD screening that came back negative, and came bearing much gold and other treasures.

I'd be worth it.
