>>I am aware of the danger of breathing such rarified air... >>I had rather thought that you enjoyed breathing such air......... Well, Kash--a couple of decades back, there was a technique which made the rounds which promised to increase intelligence. It involved blowing repeatedly into a plastic bag, and utilizing a particular breathing pattern. It appeared to work for me, as after some period of time (perhaps measured in days, perhaps in months), Life took on a clear simplicity. Questions were few, and answers were fairly standardized. Unfortunately, the extreme growth in my intelligence was accompanied by a mysterious loss of memory. I kept forgetting to practice the method, and at some point in time my life simply flowed into a new phase. How bright could I have become? Who knows. Certainly, even my cheating techniques would still have left me far back of the wise denizens who inhabit this Board. My schoolmate, Druss, also practiced the technique with me. He continued to pursue the practice religiously--long after my unfortunate circumstances convinced me to forego the ritual...

To All: I have been getting numerous PM's asking the whereabouts of Kasha. (Well one anyway, so I think I can speak for the huge number of lurkers who would ask.) To begin with Kasha suffered a name change to Buckwheat which is what Kasha is if you ever looked it up. But more to the point is he hasn't been here much under any alias, except those two that SI Bob hasn't figured out he has yet. But to the point Kasha hasn't been here due to major career changes that are still ongoing. After declining numerous times he finally accepted an offer to author a number of books and poems for SeXXX Books Inc. a widely read publisher of research books and the occasional novel. Sadly his initial efforts "Bark of the Spider Woman" and "Cheese Cutter" while considered well written were too far away from the typical reading for SeXXX Books normal clientele. So he went into the research and documentary area of publication and I am happy to report his first works there seem to be great successes. His "My Adventures in the Missionary and Other Positions" and "How to Take Photographs in an Unlit Bedroom" are top sellers for SeXXX Books. Hopefully now that his future seems assured we can look forward to his visits and perhaps with luck a few excerpts from his books. Druss
