Come to think of it, no. I slept fitfully and had one of those hypnopompic nightmares where it felt like I couldn't move and someone from the cover of one of my wife's Lovecraft books was trying to crush me. I got real mad and squeezed the freaky dream monster's hand real hard, in the dream, and woke up. Immediately. Growling. I rarely do that.
Say... I did have a whole lot of sugar that day.
However, Jeremy Bentham really did have himself mummified (so he could continue to attend meetings at University College London. Besides being a terrific example of an auto-icon, he espoused my favorite political and ethical philosophy, too. Utilitarianism.
You may think, as grouchy as I am, that I'm not very utilitarian, that I don't beleive in the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. However, I don't always consider that the majority of the populations I tend to interact with are, in fact, accurate samplings of the populace and, anyway, group think has proven to be rather dangerous to the public at large.
In short, I feel the odd spatter of ombudsmanship, although uncomfortable, keeps us all safe. My real problem is keeping my temper when someone contradicts me and I don't have a snappy comeback or annoying retort ready. I'm too used to not sticking around where I'm not wanted as I'm terribly afraid of being kicked out.
But, you know what, life seems better when you push against ideas that don't seem to work until something changes. So let's see how much longer I last. Any takers?

I may be reading too much into what you're saying, but here goes a question.
Why are you so bent on finding an argument where there may not be any?

CosmicHedgehog Sacred Angeleus Why are you so bent on finding an argument where there may not be any? because he's male? mrgreen Just kidding.... I've a had a couple of difficult moments today with "the boy", and that was the reason he was argumentative... mrgreen Well, good point. I don't want to seem like I'm just looking for an argument, here. I do sometimes fear I come across as having a chip on my shoulder. But that's not really what an ombudsman does. An ombudsman is the opposite of a yes-man, someone who tries to look out for errors and harmful assumptions. My own sympathies tend to run toward the freedom of the individual, the rights and priveledges accorded all humans by their creator (or whatever we can sneakily wring out of the arrangement), labor issues and the need, perhaps obligation, of intelligent beings to seek out and implement easier, more universally-beneficial ways of doings things. Also, I'm a male.

Hey! Someone gave me a spikey hat! Thanks, whoever it was!
I hope it explodes or something when I try to put it on!
Or maybe it just drenches you in water and a little sign comes out saying "Smingus Dingus?"
I can't wait to try it! Thanks!

Well, whatever. I'm giving this hat one more day to be part of cruel joke. If it's just making me look like the butthead I am, that's fine,but two days of that is enough. Alas and alack, I was hoping for the on-line equivalent of a whoopie cushion or squirting flower.
(Maybe I'll be all purple tomorrow or something!)

Welcome back. Since I've never met you before, may I offer you a spikey hat and some flowers? I'd keep them, but they're taking up space in my closet where I normall keep my candy bars and smokes.

I'm sorry I missed you in your spiky hat, Harbone - although it would have concealed your wonderful spiky purple hair! lol

Well, do you want the hat? How about the flowers? Otherwise, I'll make a centerpeice out of them to hide my dirty magazines.
(The nurses keep complaining about FILTH MONTHLY, MULCH & DEBRIS, THE GREASE REPORT and POPULAR STAINS when they come in and find me... reading them.)
