Dear Folks,

Have you ever wondered why you spend so many hours slavishly typing away on your keyboard, just to add one comment after another, and for seemingly no reason?

It’s not as if we are building another Egyptian Pyramid, after all.

So, what do you expect will be your legacy, after you have died, and for the future, assuming that TV continues on after your death?

Have you ever done any good in this world, just by posting your comments here?

Or, do you overestimate the impact to do good, just through your input on TV, and the SISYPEAN EFFORTS which you have tirelessly expended here.

If and when you die, will your meagre contributions be respected for more than a decade?

Or, will you just become more unwelcome dust on this forum?

Personally, I am sure that I will be remembered for something significant, even though I cannot put my finger on just what that might be.

But, what about you?

And, if this is all just meaningless blather, with no point to it, then why do you continue, hour by hour, day after day?

There are no girls here worth impressing, after all.

So, what is the advantage for you, given this recognition of reality here?

Also, Thai girls, the one’s you probably know, don’t know nothing about a decent comment, and could not care less.

Such an exercise in futility, here on TV, according to my humble opinion….

Yet, we soldier on……

WHY?

So sad, really…..and...

Regards…really…..

No, I don't wonder why I do it 😊

As for you, keep doing it 😊 Keep on transmitting and keep on receiving.

Q: Have you ever wondered why you spend so many hours slavishly typing away on your keyboard, just to add one comment after another, and for seemingly no reason?

A: No, never wondered and I don’t spend many hours. I’ve only noticed about three half dozen people who do, you being one of them.

Q: So, what do you expect will be your legacy, after you have died, and for the future, assuming that TV continues on after your death?

A: The troll of trolls if I’m lucky. But either way, couldn’t give a toss. I don't do legacies.

---

Q: Have you ever done any good in this world, just by posting your comments here?

A: Not for me to judge.

---

Q: If and when you die, will your meagre contributions be respected for more than a decade?

A: Unlikely. But don’t know, don’t care.

---

Q: Or, will you just become more unwelcome dust on this forum?

A: Only if I’m lucky.

---

Q: But, what about you?

A: What about me?

Q: And, if this is all just meaningless blather, with no point to it, then why do you continue, hour by hour, day after day?

A: You should ask Susan. But why does a man climb a mountain? Because it’s there.

---

Q: So, what is the advantage for you, given this recognition of reality here?

A: No quantifiable advantage.

Q: WHY?

A: Why not?

Surely that's what you hope. But what if the site simply disappeared tomorrow? Have you ever thought about what you will do next? Scary thought for you isn't it? It sounds like you need the site more than it needs for it itself to continue to exist. Noodle that for a minute, but try not to dirty your shorts too much. And if it does suddenly disappear one day then be prepared for it. Sh*t happens, life happens. The world's most relevant democratic experiment is now being destroyed by the Three Musty Peers; a convicted criminal, a drunk cross-eyed mall cop, and a Fox News flunky. Nobody saw that coming either. I've also seen sites much, much bigger than this one disappear in a flash. There is more to life than cyber-beria.

If TV somehow ceased to exist?

I still have my food.

And, concerning Noodles, I still have....DAN-DAN-MIAN.....

Here is what it looks like..... and....GOD DANG....I think I might need to return to China just for the Dan-Dan Mian.....truly.....Sir.....

(By the way: This first vid is done by some LAO-WAI blogging from China. Kudos to him, because, actually, his Chinese language skills are better than most of the fools that pretend to speak Chinese. Kudos, Sir, for your better-than-average Chinese language skills.....!!!!)

So much finer than pizza.

And, even though I do not miss pizza, particularly....

Yet, I really DO miss Dan-Dan Mian.

Thank you for going to such GREAT LENGTHS to reply.

It is only right that if I spend time to post these Topics, then...

People like you should take the time to reply with caring and insight.

Thank you, as I just said.

Note: I would buy you a bowl or two of Dan-Dan-Mian, happily, if we were both in China, and happened to meet up near the university, somewhere around Chuan-Da......in ChengDu......

You Sir will go down in the anus of history.

In the anus of a black hole.....Time has no meaning.......

A totally misleading title!

This subject has nothing to do with Television (TV) but ASEANNOW (AN).

Try and get back into the real world if that is possible.

He's referring to Thai Visa! the former name of the forum - nothing to do with Television.

Did you know that.....

TV was Formerly Known as Prince?

No - in answer to your main question

It sounds like you are spending far too much of your time online

May i suggest putting down the phone and going out for a walk

It might improve your mood immensely

There is no legacy to be had from posting on AN.

It's all ephemera.

Forgotten in the milliseconds it takes the page to flicker off the screen.

Legacies are what are established by people who don't spend their lives as you have in the past, and as you do now.

Really??? Have you totally lost the plot??? What will be your legacy on TV???? First, now the name is Asean Now, which would have the short cut AN, and that has been for quite many years now. Actually 2nd of July 2021. That you still don´t get that, speaks volumes!

After that, back to a person's legacy on an open forum???? What are you? Gone back to five-year stage?

Please stop! Don´t make a bigger fool out of yourself. The world can´t handle it!

EPHEMERA is a great word, unknown to me until OED told me. One learns so much here on AN..........or is it TV? 555

Do you REALLY think I would wish to TARNISH my LEGACY here on TV by pretending not to know such elemental basic gammar?

For sure, I would NOT.....

Hint: the words your and mine go together.

But, you are not really being real here, are you?
