The Gathering at THE PLATEAU

[RESiNATE]

So, I was idly scanning the boards, and generally getting myself psychologically acquainted with y'all :D...It's something that I like to do - not because I'm wierd or anything (although, I am wierd lol), but because I am a kind of people-watcher, I guess...:rolleyes:...bit of a wanna be psychoanalysist lmao...I dunno, anyways, to the point.

I think that, generally, we are all a bit pissed off, someway or another, with our lives...or some aspect of it, at least :)
So, imagine if there was a place where everything was cool.
This place would be free from all drug prohibition laws, and all worries would be instantly forgotten as soon as you crossed the threshold.
There would be an abundance of free grass, of the utmost quality - the best ever. There would be an abundance of other drugs available, too (but nothing silly, like Heroin and shit). All of it was free and unlimited.
This place would have many facets to it - kinda like different themed rooms and arenas, for music, chilling, and experience.. Rooms for debate and argument, rooms devoted to aural stimulation and spiritual exploration.
And the whole place would be like a sanctuary from your reality, without any animosity or judgement.

This place would be called - THE PLATEAU :D

The only rule is that, in order to be allowed in, you have to bring something to the party.

The thing that you bring doesn't have to be anything material, so I'm not taking about having to bring a cake, or a bag of weed...I'm talking about that thing being like a skill, or a quality about YOU, that others would find interesting, or usefull, or inspiring....:cool:

What would you be able to bring?
I'll start the ball rolling, with my application lol...

[B]I would like to be granted access to The Gathering, at THE PLATEAU.
I can engage in deep conversation about almost any topic, and am willing to learn and explore anybodys theories, whilst able to inject a modicum of humour and wit.
I can also do a bit of DJing, and like mixing in a kind of journey style - taking the listeners on a trip of musical and neural excursion.
I'm a good listener to peoples problems, and can offer understanding and advice to a great many senarios.
I like to feed off of other peoples enthusiasm :D

:D
Ok, so, I guess it's a kind of "sing your own praises" type of thing - but hey, we all have some kind of skill...lets big-up ourselves.
Don't worry if you aint got a particular skill, just talk about your good qualities...you may still get in
Res...

[koshea]

i can grace you all with music from my guitar, and if you dont like rock music i can play nice trippy solos, and if guitars arent allowed there, i will bring dip, but no chips....chips are fucking expensive...3.50 for a big bag...damn...

[RESiNATE]

Everything that you need, is miraculously provided...and anything is allowed...including guitars, dude :)

I would love to hear you play, man...you're in!!
:D

Anyone else?

[koshea]

YES SCORE....uhm do i still have to bring the dip?

[kuulbns]

If allowed access to the Plateau, i would bring the gifts of kindness, compassion, and baking. I love to cook and feed people. Baking is my favorite pastime. I'm a great listener and have the rare ability to keep a secret! LOL I would like to apply for a position as a group roller, I can roll a spliff easier than snapping my fingers and would enjoy passing on this skill :rolleyes:

[4252]

Damn, no shortage of imaginative people here! I wasn't quite expecting this (obviously I'm new here); this is a really fun forum. Add me to the list of guitar players. Hey, we need a bass!

If I could contribute anything, it'd be my experiences, like in that movie where somebody invented a machine which would record memories, and then others could play them back; actually experience them. You guys could see Jimi Hendrix play, go to Woodstock (no, I mean the real one), smash up a motorcycle, parachute, scuba dive, sail in the ocean, do acid, be in love so much nothing else matters, etc. I'd include all the mistakes I've made too, so you could all have a good laugh, and avoid doing some of the totally stupid things I have.

I hope there'd be enough freedom there to be challenged once in a while; I've found that life isn't so interesting if you're always provided with whatever you want. We need contrast in order to appreciate the good things, I think. You may not like miserable weather, pain, etc., but I believe that if everything's perfect all the time, the result is boredom. Just one old guys opinion.

However, I'd be willing to try a massive overdose of pleasure, just to see how much I could still handle. (What do you say, Rachel?)

4252

[RESiNATE]

kuulbns - your baking and spliff-rolling abilities, would undoubtably go down a treat..lol...Access granted, dude :)

4252 - good idea with the 'memory-player' idea..hehehe, I think it would be fun to watch those things you spoke of...and a good learning experience too...there is a saying that I like: "To see a rainbow, you must have rain as well as sunshine"...got got a ticket too, man..:)

(The smilie (:)) is the stamp of approval lmao)

[RESiNATE]

I love playing WRC4, GT3, and would love to pit my skills against any others that play here...I appreciate getting beaten by a better 'driver' lol

THE PLATEAU will be our 'happy place' :)

[kuulbns]

Oh My Gawd!! I'm going to the Plateau! Excellant people, cool conversation, the best music, and my homemade chocolate fudge! lol! Really though, thank you for the membership! Can't wait to get there! Kuu :p

[Day Dreamin Faze]

I would love to go to this dream land and get to meet all you wonderful people and have wonderful conversations about the good things in life...Even if it was only for a month,week,or even a day I would have a great time just forgetting about all the bad stuff in this world kickin back with the people who understand.

[F L E S H]

It's funny cause there's a district in Montreal called Le Plateau... It's one of those trendy spots, sort of like the Village in New York.

Res, I like the way you think... and I'm challenging you at any racing game! I got Coling McCrae 2005, and GT3, and patiently awaiting GT4! over 700 cars and over 70 tracks :eek:

[GHoSToKeR]

Hey, we need a bass!That's me! I've only been playing for a couple of weeks, but hey, dont judge :P

Oh, I play the drums, too.. i've been drumming for alot longer than i've been playing the bass lol

Hey, this thread is pretty cool... Let me think.. What would I bring?

I like to think of myself as out-going, but not to an annoying extent - I like to make sure everyones happy and having a good time, even if it takes me all night and I have to go out of my way to do it - I like to get people friendly with eachother if they dont know eachother.. especially timid, shy people.. I hate to see someone not enjoying themself just because they're slightly shy..

And it's been said i'm pretty funny, though I don't see it myself :rolleyes:

Do I qualify? :o

[RESiNATE]

FLESH - lol, you're on!! I ain't played CMR5, but Grand Turismo is the mutt's. Yep, I can't wait til I can afford GT4, and the races would deffo be on lol :)

GHoST - a compere(sp?) is always a necessity, and I couldn't think of a better one...welcome aboard, me hearty lol :)

DayDreaminFaze - you're in too :)..we all need a break, init


Yeah, I just thought that it would be nice to be able to go to a place where money, religion, and poitics could be left at the door, and everyone could revel in the real qualities of life and each other.
It's just a bit of fantasy, but hey - life's too damn short to be going on about the shit stuff all the time...we often forget that we all have a quality, and we sometimes forget where that quality is and how to find it.

[Rahein]

The Meat Puppets song Plateau is bad ass.

Nothing on top buy a bucket and a mop and an illistrated book about birds.
See alot up there but don't be scarred who need actions when you got words.

[socks]

If i was permitted entrance to t Plateau i would bring colour and creativity. My open mind, philosophical thinking and meaningful ways mean i can spread the love and warmth throughout t community :)

Plus...im absolutely bonkers *nutter alert*

Nice thread Res...felt good too big myself up for a change!

[RESiNATE]

Socks - sounds cool to me...plus, nutters usually reflect our lost human spirit and child-like simplicity..always a good thing! Philosophy is usually a perchant to wanting the best for humanity :)

[socks]

Wow...i've never felt more wanted than i do right now

*heart skips a beat*

I got t smiley face :) seal of approval and too celebrate i will spark up this fatty on behalf of you Resinate

[az666]

well id love to come on the plateau..........
i consider myself a good listener. i play drums (who taught u ghost?) and could sing if u needed a singer.
im easy going, laid back,like talking to people, like watching people (love to sit in airports and watch people), love listening to people (opinions on life and general shit)
and i really need a break from college.
oh and a really good imagination.

Great idea Res!!! :)

[az666]

oh yea n i can make all the bongs u want!!! lol ;)

[IntrepidS]

I love playing WRC4, GT3, and would love to pit my skills against any others that play here...I appreciate getting beaten by a better 'driver' lol

THE PLATEAU will be our 'happy place' :)

I would bring my mad GT3 skills so I could laugh at your defeat, Resinate.

[RESiNATE]

az666 - bring on the bong-maker lmaoo and let those drums beat out the depression lol :)

IntrepidS - laugh at my defeat!!!...bring it on, sunshine, mwhahahaha you're in too ;) :)

[az666]

yay cheers dude your kind words bring hope to my world. :) lol

[apsinthion]

I'v got very bendy finger's.

[socks]

Ewww gross!

Bet ud make a good shadow puppet tho :)

[XTC]

Hey Res, I also think I am a good listener. I love just listening to people and try to dissect their problems and offer solutions. I am also learning a little bit of spinning to Res, but I am not really good at DJing.... not yet. I also have a good list of CD's and DVDS that everyone could chill too and pass around a joint.

[zarathustra]

Can I come if I bring my ability to wander off at odd intervals and love of philosophy?
You know, it'd be nice for some of us to get together sometime, even if not all. Any Michiganders wanna have a Plateau camping 'trip' this summer?

[The C]

I think i can add my own personal spice/variety to life.

Everybody has a worth and i believe that everyone should be allowed into that platuea.


Everyone one of us brings our specific experieinces into the fold and our unique abilitites and thoughts, our geneteics our passions.

I bring ambition, a beleif thats someone can be great, and the ability to believe in others, faith.
How about I bring the rope to let other people enjoy our utopia, our freinds and familiesregardless of weather or not they have thier own outstanding or "already taken" qualitites. People can always change and gain from expereinces and grow thier own abilties. Especaily as they get past things, you really cant judge a persons worth until youve been them.

How about that i bring my own philosphy and perspective of the world.

..It would have been easier if listener wasnt already taken.

[Stingray]

The Plateau...When do we leave...That's if I can go fo course...

I'd be able to mesmarize you with my display of tricks with devil sticks...and I love just chilling and watching people and my favourite is to induce mind bogling ideas into people's heads and see what they come up with...AND i'm an absolute great partner when it comes to giggles...(from all the smoking)...

So what do you guys say...

[RESiNATE]

Aps - lmfao, what are your fingers like, dude!!:eek:..coolios, you can enterain us with your fingers, and trip us all out when we're off our faces on shrooms lol :)

XTC - DJing is all about timing..I'll help you mix those tunes of yours :)

Zarathustra - we can take it turns to look for you when you wander off hehehe :)

The C - you're deffo in, even if it is to cure your paranioa ;)..chill dude, you're in our club :)

Stingray - we all need a good gigglin' partner :)


One day, we will find a way that we can all meet up and do the things that we speak about here...it would be a mad time lmao :D

[Imotep]

The Meat Puppets song Plateau is bad ass.

Nothing on top buy a bucket and a mop and an illistrated book about birds.
See alot up there but don't be scarred who need actions when you got words.

hehe my thoughts exactly.

holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand :)

res... can i come?

[The C]

Woah imhotep has to be in!!!

If not im using the ladder rope im bringing with me to haul him him up, then i'll turn on him.
I'll chain him up to a crucifix so he's my crop field scare crow forever!!!

muahahhaaahhah.

Here fishy fishy!

Unless the hunting of Imhoteps is prohibited. Then im out one creepy scarecrow.

Ohh We'll
So Wot say you Res?

Ohh and thanks for letting me on board. Wow the grass is really greener over hear ;)...

Wow were already developing our own religion where were the gods. I just wrote something that would relate to greek mythology, pople who are in real exadurated situations that dont always make sense.

We would be recorded in history then too.....

[RESiNATE]

Imotep - yeah, man..'cos I think we'd have the rest of the community in stitches with our abstract (wierd lol) humour...lmaoo..they'd be, like "Shut up, you two...we can't breathe for laughing!!" hehehe.. :)

But, C..I have to say that there will be no religion there..not even ours, dude ;)
We can talk about life experiences, share each others skills and talents, and revel in our love for the weed...but religion, politics, and discrimination are BANNED.

We'd go down in history as humans who did it right - albeit stoned humans lol

[GHoSToKeR]

i play drums (who taught u ghost?)

my bro started teaching me at first, then ive been teaching myself.. ive kinda put it on hold for the moment though, coz im learning the bass lol :p

[RESiNATE]

holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand :)


Sounds like a typical line from a 'Crash Test Dummies' song :D
Has anyone else heard of them?
I got 2 of their albums; "God Shuffled His Feet", and "The Ghosts That Haunt Me Now"...cool

"Once, there was a boy, who woke up with blue hair,
To him, it was a joy, until he ran out into clear air.
Thought of how, some folks would come to see,
Would they laugh at him, or think he'd had some strange desease?"

"How does a duck know, which direction south is?
And how to tell his wife, from all the other ducks?
You can cut a chicken's head off,
And it will keep on moving..and twitching"

Theys some dark up dudes, init :D

Crash Test Dummies. :eek: They suck! My husband likes them, too, Res, you just cracked me up. I hated that song...and the lead singer was on VH1 and he's REALLY CREEPY. He had on this open shirt with all of his disgustingly cheesy dark curly chest hair showing. I wanted to projectile vomit. He looked like a porn star from the 70's! I could imagine the, "Womp, womp, waawaa..." music from a outdated skin flick playing in my head. Then he starts explaining how men with low voices actually have more testosterone and are more virile than most men. He was serious, like an extremely horny Yanni. It was an invitation for all the ladies. :cool: My skin is crawling just thinking about it.

[RESiNATE]

lol MJM...I don't like all their songs, but some of them do make a point lol


Res, you just cracked me up.
Was that a euphamism, MJM..bwhahahaha ;)
:D

[Rahein]

"...To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands..."

[Imotep]

but i want to be a fish attracting bird scaring crucified out of season religious icon.

[GHoSToKeR]

planter of vegetables lol

[Imotep]

dude the gods eat from gods garden my child.

[GooseBear]

will anyone be rejected from the club?? If not then Count me in!
I have the uncanny ability (when I'm in the mood) to go on cleaning spree's so I could keep everything looking great. But if I'm high then no motivation while high and that could become a problem. My boyfriend had my car for a week and when I got it back I about fainted. Little crumbs and lettuce and tomatoes crumbs wedged in the shifter eeheehhh I feel better now that it is clean. DON"t worry though I'm not obsesivly neat just sometimes I like order and cleaness but then scattered clothes over the room floor for awhile won't but me

[apsinthion]

I think Res is WAY too nice to refuse entry to anybody lol.:D

After all I got in for having bendy finger's (thank you by the way).

Goose I am the same as you (totaly wierd) I really like physical labour when I'm high. I can't help it lol. :D

[BUZz UK]

ok, i would like to be granted entry to the plateau because i can knock up a bong out of ANYTHING, play guitar (hey we could have a guitar orchestra, lol), and we could built the Plateau atop the canopy of a mighty forest. here is a conceptual drawing. it needs a little more detail, but the idea is there ;)

[GHoSToKeR]

lol thats hilarious :)

[wenchy monkey]

i can skin up fatties with your weed

[wenchy monkey]

as long as its skunk.... if not ill just stay at home.... cheap skate

[BUZz UK]

don't mock my highly detailed plan of 'The Plateau', that took ages ;)

[GooseBear]

I think Res is WAY too nice to refuse entry to anybody lol.:D

Goose I am the same as you (totaly wierd) I really like physical labour when I'm high. I can't help it lol. :D
sweet we should start a cleaning buisness and then we both should get ripped haha we would have the best reputation for the physical but then we would just be big pot cleaning pot heads lol hahaha
sweet another weird person like me
I'm so happy
de de de!!

[JonnyEagle]

This is an awsome idea

Anyway I think it would be awsome to meet all of you and Im always eager to learn new things from people with alot of experience. I come up with some crazy ideas and im a good listener. Oh and i really dig music and would love to share my collection and hear evryone elses.

[The C]

Captain planet?

[GooseBear]

[RESiNATE]

I think Res is WAY too nice to refuse entry to anybody lol.:D

haha..nice of you to say so, Aps...true, of course lol
:p

ummm...yeah, so....well, yeah, I guess

I wish I was stoned right now...I haven't had a joint in over a week :mad:
I can't stand reality...it's starting to hurt...

I wonder if I should try smoking some of my cooking herbs :rolleyes:
Anyone tried Italian Seasoning?...how about Herbs De Provence?...
...Cinnamon?....

Pine needles!!!

[apsinthion]

I did once try and smoke parsley *hang's head*

You could order a free sample off Budmail. :cool:

http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?p=81207#post81207

Mine was shipped yesterday and it could be a good solution for dry spell's in the future.

F'n dry spell's all the time round here eh.:)

[maryjanemama]

I did once try and smoke parsley *hang's head*

Thank's mary! :o

I also gave penut skin's and the banana thing a try too. *double hang's head with triple added :o and :rolleyes:*

I think I was about 13 then too. :)

Cinnamon stick's were too posh for me. :D You have to go into a health food shop of something for them! :eek:

[RESiNATE]

Ammie - ah ha, a singer, eh?:rolleyes:...like, I see you draped over a piano, in a smoky jazz club (especially with your fabulous avatar in mind lol)...oh, and trying to bribe me by letting me in the boobie club, won't work!!!








..for most people, but certainly does for me :D:D:D

I still reckon stinging nettles could be a hidden drug:rolleyes:
But hey, check this out for low point:
I got 35p on the electric,
I just made a cup of tea with the last tea-bag I have,
I just made a ciggie with my last paper,
I have no petrol to get to work tomorrow,
I haven't bought the kids a chrissy present (cos am skint),
Have no food,
And I gotta find £700 by the 27th of this month

Do you ever get the feeling that you're on a losing streak?

Well, I can't hang around too much, otherwise the electric will run out!:eek:
Still, at least I've got my health...*cough cough*....sort of

how about me? does my conceptual drwing mean nothing to you?!

[GHoSToKeR]

how about me? does my conceptual drwing mean nothing to you?!
It was awesome! Unfortunately, I dont work here.. so I cant let you in.. you're gonna have to speak to the boss :p

[BUZz UK]

Res, please let me into the plateau. if i don't get in, i may have a breakdown.....again.

[The C]

C OH C PLEASE DANCE FOR ME like your avatar!


Sure i'll dance for you GooseBear. :)

I just hope my keyboard doesnt annoy you. :o

It's fun pressing buttons though. Mabe we can make a wicked melody. :D

C

[RESiNATE]

how about me? does my conceptual drwing mean nothing to you?!
hehehe..not at all, BUZz - I was just awaiting the surveyors report that details the constructivity parameters pertaining to the overall structural stress mapping....he say "Yessum, man!" :)
(although I was kinda thinking along the lines of a flat topped mountain that overlooked the rest of the world, so that we could all go out to the edge and point at the 'silly people' below.....but your idea is good too!:D)

So chill, BUZz...the PLATEAU would be a lesser place without ya :)

[BOgart.bitch]

i know im pretty late.. but is the plateau still accepting applicants?

i could bring my fashionably lateness along with my strong sense of loyalty ;]

what else? hmm ohh im very versatile in terms of things im into - so i can relate to a lot of people.

[RESiNATE]

The doors to the PLATEAU are always open, to those that qualify...*looks at watch, in a disparaging manner*...even for those who take their time. lol
Of course, BOgart! :)
Versatility is a quality that I admire, being a Cancerian and all hehehe

[BUZz UK]

Thanks Rez! Construction may take a while, but hey; we're stoners! :D

[BOgart.bitch]

hoorah ;D

[KennabisCranium]

I would like to be allowed in the Plateau. I can contribute my knowledge and application of alternative transportation. At the Plateau, people will need to get around and since cars are FUCKING EVIL, I figure at the Plateau we'll only have transportation that is not harmful to the Plateau. I can fix bicycles, bicycle rickshaws, and I'm just beginning my first conversion of an Honda Shadow into an electric motorcycle.

[RESiNATE]

.... cars are FUCKING EVIL, .

Duuuuuuuude....I cannot agree with you on that one!:(

Why do you think that cars are evil?:confused:
