Imagine what the response from the community might have been had I answered THEIR questions and challenges (the same questions and challenges I posed you) the same way you just did.
Thanks for helping me illustrate how I was tempted to respond but didn't.

Don't have to no... but it doesn't help your forum persona very much.
And we all know THAT is what is the most important.

You know, I couldn't sleep last night, and now I've finally figured out why. Get a grip; this is an internet forum where a bunch of anonymous people "debate" (sometimes endlessly) and post their opinions, not the Cato Institute, or the Hoover Institute. The problem with forums like this is that some people like to play mind games, to attempt (usually feebly) to "prove" to others that they are this vast repository of intelligence and therefore everyone else is either a simpleton or just not up to the calibre they need to pretend that they are.

Oldmanmac: I like to pretend that I'm a foreign agent sometimes, I got the idea from Abe. My idea of a foreign agent is somebody that does a lot of summersaults in a suit with a gun in hand.
The next time you can't sleep, I suggest you think about foreign agent besson3c just kicking ass all over the place with his gun!

Get a grip? My post was tongue in cheek.
I was hoping the over the top "And we all know THAT is what is the most important." would be the obvious clue.
Oh well.

I was courteous enough to respond to those who bothered to post here. I used to be accused of NOT replying!!! Geez, some people can be sooooo fickle.

" Just what is a mojo?
Where I got my nickname should be fairly obvious. I was first called "Mojo" in the 9th grade by a fellow named Frank Stubblefield, who was talking about HoJo's (Howard Johnson's restaurant nickname) at the time. He looked at me and said, "Mojo!" It stuck ever since.
It might not have stuck so well if I hadn't adopted "Mojo" instead of "Morris" for my name on ham radio.
Being Mojo, I tend to hear about other mojos in the world. It turns out to be a very rich word with a long history.
There is one meaning for mojo that appears to be the original and oldest I can find: A mojo is a voodoo magic charm. It can be specifically a fertility charm, or just a generic word for voodoo magic. If you have a collection of charms, you might also keep them in a "mojo bag," which I'm told is made from cat parts. In fact the word "mojo" is pidgin for the english word "magic."
So when an old blues singer sings of having his mojo working, he means he's likely to be lucky with the ladies tonight. If his baby's got a mojo, it means he's going to remain faithful to her -- can't resist the magic! I believe the first reference to mojo in song came from Muddy Waters, who recorded "The Mojo Blues."
A later reference to mojo comes from The Beatles in "Come Together" from Abbey Road ("He got ... mojo filter").
But by far the most notable reference is from Jim Morrison and The Doors in LA Woman, "Mr. Mojo Risin' ... risin' risin'." This is the one most people think of when they hear the word mojo. Mojo will always be closely associated with Morrison -- the expression "mr. mojo risin" is an anagram for Jim Morrison. Morrison said that he would be reincarnated as "Mr. Mojo Risin'."
However mojo is still a popular word in other contexts:
* It's often a euphemism for various drugs (perhaps a reference to their magic power).
* There's a high school football team in Odessa, TX known as mojo.
* There's a radio station in New York playing "Mojo Radio."
* Shakey's Pizza Parlor serves "mojo potatoes," a very good concoction of thick potato slices breaded and fried with chicken seasonings.
* Servicemen who spent time in the Phillipines remember a Mojo as a potent bar drink there. (I saw the recipe on a t-shirt once, it sounded dreadful.)
* There's an advertising agency known as Mojo in San Francisco.
* David Ahadi reports of MOJO inline skates out of Kansas City -- Skates you can use your own shoes in.
* There's an english music magazine named Mojo. "

I would just like to say that the name "abe" reminds me uncomfortably of the acronym for "Another Bloody Enema".
It really bothers me.
Maybe I should start a poll or something.

So what looks like a deluge of watered-down **** from my perspective is the musings of a brilliant would-be Einstein to you?
I guess how we perceive such things *does* say a lot about ourselves.
You may just be onto something there.

Now where did I say that? I don't believe I compared Abe to Einstein. I just said that those words is what Abe's "initials" reminded me of.

Well, speaking of someone who is onto something, looky here! It seems you DID find something else to do with a poll. You polled yourself. By the way, you are a musician aren't you analogika? Do you think aurally?

Wouldn't it be more precise to say the " bloody" is what actually bothers you in the phrase, "bloody enema"?
