What's Love Got To Do With It?

[luna-tic]

If the creator/s one defining message in all religions is love, then why are there so many belief systems and races of people that have factors to segregate them?
Is this the humans test set by the creator/s, to see if we can all get along? Were we brought to this planet as different tribes?
Which religion came first and if that one was proved to be the closest to the God/s over pouring of love then why isn't it the one and only global religion?
Sorry, more than one question there.

I'm up for anything that puts the men in skirts.

Pied Piper?

[luna-tic]

Blimey ! I just got in from work, went to check the email and then nearly fainted. I think I might need another tablet to calm me down.
Thanks Naomi for not only being the Loonie Orchestra's resident expert in paper and comb but now also talent scout. So I've written out your new contract in my finest crayons and the pay increase with a special bonus for keeping my spoons finely tuned while I've been away.
How does a month's supply of G&T grab you? That should last you a week.
China, you are more than welcome to join our masters of musical mayhem and household utensils. Oh! a duet maybe with Mibs,I can't wait....Groovy!
Whicker and Chakka, they need to bring some kitchenware or other personally invented instruments.
Naomi, Could you please give China her induction to the Loonies.
Panto? This could go on Broadway.
Waldo, his refreshment expertise could be just what we need to keep this Orchestra on it's feet. :0)
Theland, get those batons swinging.

[naomi24]

China We can certainly consider the Pied Piper. Know any rats?

Luna cough, cough ....... shhhhh ....I've forgotten the rules - can you do China's induction?

[someguy0000]

i was born in the year of the rat if thats any good........
love a good musical

[someguy0000]

actually to answer your question,im a pagan myself and after a bad accident from which im still recovering it has kind of reafirmed my faith...........or maybe its just that i have realised my own mortality perhaps.dunno quite a deep question :)

[China Doll]

Smiles maliciously at naomi's rat question but keeps gob firmly shut

[luna-tic]

Naomi, I have found the ancient `Book Of Loonie' , rather like `The Bible' ;Well the same thickness and more illustrations without any references to anyone mighty or guys wearing skirts( sorry China).
The induction is a little like the enactment of Hiram being hit on the bonce with a club in `Freemasonary' except there's no masonary but it is free.
China goes down on one knee.
If you only have one knee then don't bother.
I raise the sacred tuning fork and while holding this above her noggin, I say the otherwise secret incantation,"THIS MIGHT HURT" and give her one short sharp tap with the fork.
If the note produced is a dull tone then she is cast hither.
If the sound emanating from her bonce is music to the lugholes then she receives the Loonie Lapel Badge or pin.
(Sorry Theland, I pilfered your idea).
China you are now a member
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[China Doll]

Wow... never has me being on my knees been so innocent.

I'm sorry.. I'll go sit in the naughty corner for a bit and think about what I've done.

[naomi24]

The sound emanating from her bonce was music, then, Luna? Just hope it'll be in tune with the saucepan otherwise we'll never make the Albert Hall!

Ah, China, obviously been scrubbing floors for a crust, eh. No need to sit in the naughty corner and no need to feel guilty - it's good, honest work and nothing to be ashamed of.

[China Doll]

That's what I like about you naomi... you're so understanding of me ;0)

[WaldoMcFroog]

I hardly have time for my real band, let alone a fictional one, so I'll have to pass.

I'll have the biscuits though.

[naomi24]

China, my pleasure. In R&S reputation is so important, don't you think? :o)

Waldo, now that is a big disappointment. Luna was in charge of the biscuit tin, but sadly ate the lot - along with our resident fly who goes by the name of Cocopops. Are you sure you won't reconsider? We could always re-stock you know.

[luna-tic]

Nothing but the finest selection of biscuits for our Orchestra.
Rich Tea or Garibaldi?

[Theland]

Fig leaf. Sorry, I meant, fig rolls.

[luna-tic]

In all this excitement I forgot Someguy with four zero's.
If you love a good musical, panto or whatever then you will not believe the sound we can make.
I'm sorry to read about your accident and hope everything works out okay for you.
I think any traumatic event in our lives can make us reassess life and realise how precious each day is.

[luna-tic]

Fig Leaf !!! :0)

[Theland]

Better book the rehearsal room, or should we just use Naomis wine cellar again?

[luna-tic]

Especially if she wears her bobble hat. :0)

[naomi24]

Right, the wine cellar it is!! No contest! And you can forget the Garibaldi biscuits, Luna - you always confuse the currants with Cocopops - and we only retrieved her in the nick of time the last time you got your mits on the biscuit tin! Theland, stick to the fig rolls - please?

And Luna - don't even think about that bobble hat. You know such thoughts aren't good for you. Just read your book!!!! :o)

[luna-tic]

Naomi, I seem to remember that while rehearsing in the wine cellar before, was the only time I heard you sing and I just couldn't believe my ears.
The only problem was the local cattery complained and said, "Nine out of ten cats couldn't believe their ears either and the tenth one now has a serious drug habit".
Wont you let me even have a sniff of the biscuit tin?

(Luna walks away dejected, book in hand and thoughts of making sweet music with Naomi and her bobble hat.
