Herve's Bar & Grill

[edX]

phil - you seemed to be confused. I am the bartender. MacD is the landlord. He owns the physical location of the bar. so far rent is dirt cheap. we are paid up for at least the next few months. he will stop by every now and then just to make sure YOU are not trashing the place

BB (short for blingbling) - GREAT LOGO!! We will display it proudly. Your tab is covered by the house for a very long time. order anything you would like, price is no object

klink - as soon as i get thru with some chores around here, like cleaning up phil's messes, i will get back to you. don't expect anything till after the superbowl.

now i gotta go in the back room for awhile. keep an eye on sithious. he has been awfully quiet.

Sorry Ed, never really bothered to look up to see who was pouring. So what's going on in the back room? A little bit of bootlegging? Ed Spruiells special 200 proof liquor?

Don't worry, I wont tell. In fact, I'd love to help you out. I am the anti-american highschooler. Where everyone else is out getting screwed up, I'm at home, making beer, but never drinking it. The world is full of paradoxes, isn't it?

Oh yeah, Klink, I remebered why I kneew you were from queens. Remember that hilarious Queens dialect of OS X thread?

[Matrix Agent]

eh?

"G'day. Chuck your login here, mate."
click-click-tap-click
"Buggerit, that's the wrong password mate! Get ya' hand off it!"
click-tap-clik-clack
"Beaut. Loggin' in, mate...
"Bloody hell. Your PPP connection is up s..t creek, mate. She can't get a bloody response from the bloody modem. @#$!"

he he he ...

phil - carefully note his set up. he is a dysfunctional type. every bar has one or more of em. if he gets too bad we can all elect to ignore him. but for now just try not to make him more disturbed

btw - you might see macD behind the bar every now and then. he comes and goes as he pleases and helps himself. rarely says a word though. kind of a clint eastwood "high Plains Drifter" type. might respond if spoken to directly but only if it seems important. of course his presence is always appreciated.

now klink - about that why. had to stop and think a little bit. it has been the usual long and winding road to get to this point. I started my most recent interest in psychology with an interest in shamanism. This led to an interest in transpersonal psych even before i began formal training of any kind. i also had an ex - mother in law and sister in law who were schizophrenic. I have seen a connection between spiritual/mystical experience and the interpretation of severe psychosis that i think needs to be clarrified better. I believe the symptoms of spiritual emergence>spiritual emergency are similar to those of organic and other psychosocial illnesses but get treated the same by most mainstream therapists. i am interested in sorting out the differences between them in order to provide more appropriate treatments. I could talk for hours about this aspect of my interests. perhaps over time i will say more. ask the right questions and you'll get more elaborated answers (bit by bit)

so i'll stop there for now cause i want to talk about the game. i wasn't really in love with either team but it was a great game - nothing like your usual superbowl. and after years of domination by the nfc, it is time that the afc started maintaining the overall supremecy they show in the regular season by winning the big one. I think for once the two best teams really made it to the SB.

also klink - do you know where rego park is?

Make way...
OSx.com's official ESTJ and resident celebrity is coming into the bar & grill



What is the specialty of this fine establishment ?

Hey ed come over here and tell me what I have missed. We can have a laugh over a beer with BlingBling and RacerX :-)


Admiral

[Klink]

Hey Admiral, glad you found the bar. Must have been the new sign right?

Yeah Phil I remember Admiral's post. It's burned in your brain isn't it? For you I will don the Brooklyn stereotype then.
Walking around the bar with his left hand clasping his scrotum and talking with his right, he motions to the bartender to lean over the bar, and says, "Yew gotta see a my way, provelone. My guyza take out the garbage. Yew know whadda mean?"

Thanks for your response Ed, I thought you would have been too drained from the game. I think I can see why you wouldn't bring Freud into the conversation. He is somewhat of a dipole to self-transcendence in Transpersonal Psychology. I'm hoping you did not dismiss his essays without at least a read through (something other than his Interpretation of Dreams).
The difference between organic psychosocial illnesses and symptoms of spiritual emergence. Do you mean organic as in those who suffer from symptoms brought about by the inability of "normal" social interaction sans the inclusion of a spiritual overtone in the social aspect?

We share a common experience with schizophrenics in the family. Mine is a close cousin (on the inlaws side birthed by a father with problems himself). Fell prey to State psychiatrists. He was born on Dec 25th. So you can guess, when he stops taking his medication, what representation his delusions of granger take.

I certainly do know where Rego Park is Ed. Don't tell me you lived there? I live on the other side of the Flushing Meadows Corona Park (the World's Fair), between Cunningham and Alley Pond parks.

Can't talk superbowl with you today, I slept right through it! Sounds like I'm going to regret that.
