    How do you know what's funny to me, Om? At the least, it might clue me in
    on how clever you are or what you find funny 🙂

    The latest I could fathom was "Oh, man, I pad me Omelet." So, you're a low
    carb eating fat omelets? Makes some sort of weirdo sense 🙂

    Ok, I finally did explain it, Sorry!

    You must be pretty young.
    I'm 43 so a child of the 60's and 70's...

    Cheers!

    Are you familiar with the Yoga meditation chant?

    Om Mani Padme Om?

    I've had to do a lot of meditation and soul searching over time
    to try to come to terms with how badly life sux sometimes, find
    and develop a sense of peace with myself and my life to try to
    "fix" things and be a happier person.

    The change of the last "Om" to "Omelet" reflects my low-carb
    lifestyle.

    It also changes something reverant to the irreverant by
    changing that last "Om" into "Omelet".

    Okay?

    Might not be humorous to some people, but the whole concept
    of irreverence is funny to some.

    Just like Irony.

    Cheers!

    OK I get it, thanks - and it's actually quite clever! Not being familiar
    with yoga or chanting (except gregorian chant <G>😉 I can now understand why
    it went over my head 🙂.

    And this has what to do with the 60's? I'm 47 and was obviously a kid in
    the 60's. Maybe there is some flowerchild stuff built-in to this?

    In my world, we just took life as it came. Meditation and soul searching
    were not part of my existence, then.

    I once dreamed I ate fried chicken that had been coated with chocolate ice

    craved that particular combo, though.

    Too damn cool!!! :-)

    I used to sing first Soprano in High School Choir and in JC choir.
    Got a voice scholorship from High school, but decided not to pursue
    music. <sigh> I still sing for my own pleasure and play guitar but
    that's it. I DO miss choral singing, but do sing with my dad
    occasionally. He is a Bass and we harmonize well.

    I went into health care instead. I grew up very poor and was just afraid
    of the instability of a career in music. I wanted something solid.

    I envy you and I'm so very happy for you that you were able to make a go
    of it!

    Mezzo Soprano.
    Have you run across any of the websites yet with music jokes?
    Some of them are pretty funny. ;-)

    I take it you have never suffered from depression?

  9. I dreamt I was on a deserted island. I went to investigate the food
    situation and to my horror I found I was floating on a giant loaf of
    french bread. I realized to my terrible dismay that I would have to
    choose between starvation and drowning.

    Nope. People didn't get that in the neighborhoods I grew up in. 🙂 People
    sure had problems though!

  17. Roger---
    "Om Mani Padme Om" is a chant used in meditation. I belueve it's Hindu,
    not Buddhist, but I could be wrong on that.

    "Om" is the sound of the Universe. Meditating while chanting "Om" is
    supposed to align the chakras of the body with Universal Energy.
