In'ards

IN'ARDS, n. The stomach, heart, soul and other bowels. Many eminent investigators do not class the soul as an in'ard, but that acute observer and renowned authority, Dr. Gunsaulus, is persuaded that the mysterious organ known as the spleen is nothing less than our important part. To the contrary, Professor Garrett P. Servis holds that man's soul is that prolongation of his spinal marrow which forms the pith of his no tail; and for demonstration of his faith points confidently to the fact that no tailed animals have no souls. Concerning these two theories, it is best to suspend judgment by believing both.

In'ards: information.

Doug knows the in'ards and out'ards of the Devil's Dictionary.

Inwards have their own life, and when they go crazy, you'd better find another body to jump in, or a train to jump under. :)

"The diet of an unprosperous cannibal".

The word 'cannibal' has several metaphorical connotations. Those most associated with prosperity would either be in the Marketing or Publishing fields.

Although in Manufacturing, it can refer to the reuse of salvageable parts.

the soul,differs from the
in'ards(ie,the heart)
as it is faith based
with hopes,dreams,
and a belief in the
goodness of all humanity
as its in'ards...
a common thread
between all critters
giant or small...
some say the ,big bang,
was simply God's soul exploding
giving each critter a piece of
love to share...
how is that for an impromptu reply

may your day be filled with
BLESSINGS

1) Or a train to *jump under*

2) Should have said *throw up*

Concerning these two theories, is best to suspend judgment by believing both.

In'ards are better than out'ards? Well, more comfortable anyway.

Ah reminds me that I'm missing "Dexter", and haven't seen American Psycho in a long time.

Aha! Dr. Kildare is secret code for **Kill-Dare** which proves the little loco-motive will find another body to jump into:

1) "Dexter" -- Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a **serial killer** with standards who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood-spatter analyst.

2) "American Psycho" -- The film focuses on Wall Street yuppie Patrick Bateman (Bale), whose mental instability and blood lust leads him to **serial killing**. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on April 14, 2000.

I BELIEVE.

TLP, it comes from wearing them for five years.

Excellent advice, Ariel.

Karen, in this case it refers to a person who eats other folks.

Bless bless, Bear.

Sorry, Thom.

Quilly, easier to find, anyhow.

Cooper, is Dexter coming back?

Karen, as ever, the context might be helpful.

Pretty, Terry.

Thanks, Quilly. I forgetted.
