crooked (When you have hair as long as mine you have to do something with it or it'll take over. On a good note, I'm always getting compliments on my hair. Sometimes people ask me if they can touch it/hold it. And sometimes they do so without permission!

Hmm...you know, I might be younger than you think lol. Captain Kirk was quite a bit before my time. Even Star Wars was a wee bit before my time! My dad was a fan of the original Star Trek show and watched reruns when I was a child. At the time, T.J. Hooker was a new show on tv and my mother was into that show. So, I'd watch Star Trek with my dad and then T.J. Hooker with my mother. She'd tell me that's Captain Kirk (pointing at T.J. Hooker). I was just a wee child at the time and my brain was trying to figure out how did Captain Kirk go from being out in space to being a cop so fast lol. I'm really telling on myself now! In reality, I actually grew up with T.J. Hooker ...and I hadn't even started school yet when the last episode of the show aired

You are very correct. Women can be dastardly!! I have read stories of the treatment of those captured from other tribes in wars between Native American tribes. Not all tribes tortured captives, but in the ones that did it is said that you could tell whether it was a man or a woman that tortured the captives, the women were much more brutal! And right now, I would like to state that I'm not a violent woman...well, maybe to the Whangdoodles.

Maybe we can both be governors. Can there be 2 governors? Well, who cares about the rules. I think we both have strengths that are absolutely necessary for the position. Besides, I have to have some time for baking!

You have very good ideas. Merchandise and a cartoon. Maybe a running comic. And as we've mentioned before, our Whangdoodle shop.

Haha, yes, I'm glad my mother kept overriding my great-grandmother when she wanted to pierce my ears. My mother told me to make my own decision about it when I get older. So, I decided to not have pierced ears. Actually, I don't have any piercings or tattoos or any body modifications of any kind. I'd probably be considered a weirdo since I don't have any such things, but people are too distracted by my smashing braid to notice lol.

However, if I'm wearing a tshirt of Whangdoodle defenestration then that'll be what will distract people. And I'm looking forward to drinking my coffee from a Whangdoodle defenestration mug. Actually, I'd prefer a double walled thermos type of mug with a lid. I used to have a mug of Mulder and Scully (from Xfiles). It was totally black, but when you poured your hot beverage into it then Mulder and Scully would appear. We could do that with the Whangdoodle defenestration scene on the mug!)

underhanded (Ha, ha. I think everyone admires long hair (at least on females), but maybe not everyone realises long hair upkeep takes a lot of work? The upside about touching hair without permission is that you definitely get to touch it. Obviously, the downside is you probably get in trouble or creep somebody out, especially if the answer to the question that should have been asked would have been no. Fortunately, it's not a trouble I have to deal with.

Even Star Wars was a wee bit before your time? You are younger than I thought, though if it was only a wee bit, you still were likely born in a great decade. I had never heard of T. J. Hooker 'til now, but I like how people looked in that era - cool hairstyles.

I'm not a great supporter of torture. I would prefer it that all were honourable, and did battle honourably, and all necessary-but-nonetheless-regrettable killing be swift and merciful. But then I think about those who harm children or the innocent or the unprotected, and wonder that perhaps these don't deserve some degree of worse suffering. Which goes on to me wondering about those who deliberately cause the innocent worse suffering, and thinking perhaps those guilty of this even deserve more suffering yet again before they die. And eventually, at least in my mind, I have perhaps become as much a monster as those women from the North American tribes you read about. And I revert back to my initial position, and hope that God will provide any extra suffering owing the guilty in the fires of Hell.

I think on balance, we are both very kind to the Whangdoodles, and only give them a fraction of the violence they deserve. A little lassoing, a defenestration or two, the Whangdoodles have never had it so good! I think we both can be governors. It is a position, afterall, is it not? And we do need to give you some time for baking pies, or what else will we do with all those discarded Whangdoodles?

Not to have pierced ears is a pretty rare decision these days. I don't know why so many women want to pierce their ears. To me, it just seems silly. I'm sure people like your braid, although I don't think this is the reason they don't think you are weird - I think it's good and normal for one to be satisfied with the body God gave one. I don't have pierced ears, but I'm a guy so I think that's pretty common. I don't have tattoos, either! I have never agreed with body modifications for the sake of it, 'though a scar or two can probably make for more character!

I love the idea of the mug that shows the Whangdoodle defenestration scene when it gets hot. We'll make the mugs as you prefer - double-walled thermos types of mugs, with lids! Probably we should put a year on, so when all the Whangdoodles have been defenestrated and subsequently gone extinct by ~2044, and someone comes across one of our - by then - antique mugs, and wonders to him or herself "I wonder when we first started the great Whangdoodle defenestration process?", he or she will be able to prepare a hot mug of coffee and see the great Whangdoodle lassoing and defenestration scene starring Chieftess CarriePie, and read underneath it "Roping and defenestrating Whangdoodles since 2024".

duplicitous (I am quite fond of my hair, but it does cause me trouble when I have to go through TSA. I almost always have to have a pat-down. One TSA agent asked me if I'd like to go somewhere private while she pats me down. I said, "No way!" I want there to be witnesses to their pervy procedure. Something about having really long hair causes their machines to flag me.

Yes, Star Wars was indeed before my time. In fact, when Star Wars appeared in the theater my parents didn't know each other yet, my father was in the military and my mother was still in school. But, it wasn't long before the ball got rolling. My dad jokes that the eruption of Mount Saint Helens was a warning of me coming into the world

A lot of things, in my opinion, were better back in the day. Of course, most people agree that music was better. I personally think cars were definitely better. To me, they looked better and were easier to work on. I'd help my dad work on vehicles when I was growing up, mostly Chevy and GMC trucks. Helping him when he was hoisting an engine & transmission out of a truck was always an interesting experience. He usually worked on vehicles that were from the 70s and earlier. And in case you're wondering, I didn't grow up to be a mechanic lol.

No tattoos or body mods, you say? That's very attractive, I say! I agree that scars can give a person character.
I don't have any noticeable scars. I need to acquire a few Whangdoodle battle scars to enhance my chieftess status.

I agree that those who harm children and the vulnerable are despicable individuals. Also, stories of child trafficking are heart wrenching. It's hard to comprehend the torture of anyone, but particularly of children. And then there are those who torture children in front of their parents. Anyone who doesn't find these actions deeply disturbing, I don't know what manner of a person they are.

What were we going to call the pie shop? Mastery of Pies, I think. On the days when I'm doing pie stuffs I'll bring some to the governor's office for lunch. I haven't forgotten that you like meat pies, and of course I'll continue to be sure that no Whangdoodles or spiders have gotten anywhere near your pies. I'll even use the uncontaminated oven...the one that hasn't had any Whangdoodle pies baked in it.

I actually just got one of those double walled thermos mugs with lid this year. I had been using an old camp style coffee cup for a long time. I am quite fond of vintage items and didn't want to part with it, but I must admit that I'm very partial to my new thermos style of mug. It keeps the coffee hot. Simple pleasures are often the best. Seeing a Whangdoodle defenestration or lassoing scene appear on the mug would be a great pleasure. I think having the date on it is a must. You are always clever! We must have these in the pie shop. They are sure to sell out quickly. People will want to have one full of their favorite beverage as they slice into their Whangdoodle shaped pie. And while the Whangdoodles will be defenestrated, I'm quite sure that none of the pies will be. On the other hand, they may be in danger of being lassoed!

May you be pleased as Pie! [Hmmm, that sounds like a good slogan. We should use it for the shop.])

twofaced (Oh no! I hate dealing with airport security. They are such communists. I have to try really hard not to say what I think, so I don't get labelled a terrorist and miss my flight or end up in gaol. Hopefully in a few years, we will have blimps again and can dispense with the silly airport facade and being squished like sardines into such mechanical monstrosities. And if the Rothschild/Rockerfeller/Deep State terrorists or whoever they are try more Hindenburg-style terrorism to ruin those flights, they get properly investigated and held to full account. I might be dreaming, but hopefully not!

So you are younger than I thought! I wasn't around to witness Luke destroy the first death star, but theoretically could have witnessed Han Solo being frozen in carbonite, 'though in actuality only remember seeing this event some 5 or 6 years after the fact.

Yeah, music and cars were better in those times. Cars were simpler, and didn't require proprietry software to maintain. And not that I'm a mechanic but I understand repairs were straightforward. Things were cheaper - I believe the dollar had only been decoupled from gold a decade or so before, and so inflation hadn't been made so massive as to destroy working incomes. Proverbs says it isn't wise to say the old days were better, but I'm mainly mentioning it because I believe we can have them again, if we just get rid of the fake money. Ultimately, though, such things come about because of sin, and mankind turning away from his Maker, which is the root cause of the use of fake money.

No tattoos for me, but I guess "body mods" might mean different things to different people? Nothing noticeable or out-of-the-ordinary might be more precise? (Although I accept that might leave a huge spectrum of possibilities these days where perverted is considered ordinary.) Sadly, nothing to enhance my skills or attributes when smiting Whangdoodles! I did watch several episodes of the 6 Million Dollar Man growing up, but no cool body mods like that! I think Chieftesses don't need battlescars to enhance their status - they can simply rely on their long hair, or as a last resort, their skills with lassoing! ;-)

Very kind of you using the uncontaminated oven for baking my meat pie! I will be pleased as the pie itself! And that is a smashing slogan for Mastery of Pies - "May you be pleased as pie." )

artificial (Airports can be a pain. I've gotten used to TSA. Not that I like their pervy pat-downs, but I just go through the motions anymore. I've noticed that it seems like I mostly get patted down at the Tulsa airport. I rarely get patted down at the Atlanta airport. I hope this doesn't mean that there are more pervs in my state lol. Although the downsides of the airport can be annoying, I do enjoy flying. I particularly like taking off and landing. I haven't been on any really long flights yet. Personally, I'm waiting on quicker travel. Teleportation or what-have-you lol. Typically, I travel 800 miles as the crow flies, but since I do layovers (to cut costs) it ends up being up to 1300 miles. Waiting at the gate! That might be the part that has gotten to be the most annoying part of travel for me. Sometimes people watching can be amusing though. Sometimes there are people playing instruments (harmonica, guitar, etc.). One time I was sitting across from a Hare Krishna person. I had only seen these individuals in pictures. They really do wear orange robe things. Then there are those people who I can't tell what gender they are and they wear shirts that say, "I identify as a unicorn."

Btw, I wouldn't mind riding in a blimp! I think they are neat. One time as I was sitting outside watching the nightsky, I seen something strange. I can only figure it must have been a blimp even though I didn't see any reports that blimps were supposed to be in the airspace over my city. Since then, I thought it would be fun to be in a blimp over the city at night. Maybe a UFO shaped blimp to confuse the people below. Or to abduct Whangdoodles!

Putting our last couple of messages together, it sounds like we are practically the same age!

I understand what you are saying about things being better back in the day and I don't think you (or we) are going against Proverbs. I'm sure we both also appreciate new technology. While I certainly like the cars, music, etc. of the past, I do like that we have computers and internet. Otherwise we wouldn't be here plotting against the Whangdoodles! When I was a child, people mostly used cassette tapes (although my grandfather still mostly used records). Then in my teen years people mostly used CDs. These days though, I must say I do like my mp3 player. I'm still kinda behind though. People are using their phones...me, I'm still using my mp3 player that I bought over 15 years ago. It still works smashingly! I'll probably use it until it no longer works. Having said that, I think records are still great.
Anyway, I do agree with what you are saying! I think things will get worse. As you said, it's due to sin and turning away from our Creator.
This topic reminded me of the song For the Love of Money by the O'Jays and now I've got it playing.

You are right about body mods. Personally, I've never considered scars as body modifications, nor things that have been done to the body for necessary medical purposes such as reconstructive procedures due to injuries, etc.
To me, body mods are the intentional altering of the body in the way of body/surface piercings and things like implants (people who have horns implanted, etc.). Also, people who purposely split their tongue, removes their ears, alter themselves to look like an animal, etc.
I used to work with a gay man that decided that I should see his chest piercings, so he raised his shirt one day at work. I'm more than okay with not ever seeing chest piercings again lol

I'm elated that you are pleased. Your skills, wisdom, and attributes are smashing as they are and no enhancements are needed. You are sure to always have tasty, homemade, uncontaminated pies. And may you always be pleased as Pie!)

phantasmal (I think the one thing I like about airports is watching all the strange people. Different clothes, different behaviours... Sometimes I will see the odd one who doesn't know (or doesn't want others to know?) his gender, but I consider that kind mentally affected, rather than just different or strange. Also I like watching people depart or arrive. Despite their differences, some things remain the same.)

spectral

paranormal (I think of blimps as how travel was supposed to be. Like ships of the sky. They travel slower than planes, but they get there eventually, and everyone has had a good rest with plenty of space, and minimal use of fuel. The means of transport is for the middle class that should have been, but isn't. Think 1940s to 1960s era. The thought reminds me of the movie The Rocketeer. I think I would be a bit more nervous on a blimp that I am on a plane, just on how well the non-floating parts were connected to the floating parts... )

poppycock (It'd be fun to be a paranormal investigator. Except more than half of it seems like poppycock. Still a fun topic sometimes.)

flapdoodle (I love the word poppycock, and those like it. A flapdoodle is the Whangdoodle's long extinct cousin, sadly earning extinction due to its own silliness.)

fiddle-faddle (I also love the word poppycock and use it fairly regularly. But, where has flapdoodle been all my life?? I like it! Your words are superior. I must catch up! No flapdoodling around!)
