These are cute, funny, insightful, thought-provoking and just plain zany. They remind me of George Carlinisms. I enjoyed reading. You are probably right about the "I believe" prompt.

Thank you, Beth. George Carlin is high praise, indeed. I'm glad you got a chuckle or two. Peace, Lee
Comment from purrfect tale
I believe this deserves a 5, because that's how many times I laughed out loud. I believe the author is brilliant, in an insane kind of way. I believe I'll never catch you in the rankings, because you as cleverer than I. I believe that pisses me off, because before meeting you I was the cleverest person I knew.

Well, purr, you just cracked me up. Begrudging me a five! Yes, I am a watt or two on the crazy side, but if I wasn't I'd just blend in with the drapes. I have every bit of faith that you are more clever than I---I just have a teaspoon more experience, and I'm a real curmudgeon. Purr, thank you for being both funny and cantankerous. I ain't clever, I just play a good game. Peace, Lee
Comment from bowls
This is just too funny! I think I hurt myself laughing. Do you sit up nights just thinking about this craziness? It's a most refreshing change from those poems with those darned contractions. Now, do I have to refuse any payout for this review lest you label me a ... you know what? Seriously, great stuff. Keep it coming.

Thank you, bowls, I'm glad you got a chuckle or two. And your reputation is intact---ladies who review me (and award me sixes)are all pure as the driven snow. Thanks again, bowls. I do post these 'I Believe' lists every few months. Peace, Lee
Comment from Deejharrington
I betcha your right, about the prompt. I believe that prompts are usually redundant and have a real nerve charging money. I agree with much you pen here. A couple of exceptions. I like Lady GaGa. Newt isn't even really Newt. He has to be a plastic puppet with someone else pulling the strings. Someone really stupid! I love the comments about postings and reviewing. Very, very true.

Thanks again, deb. I can undertand about GaGa---it's probably just a generational thing---you being so much older than I. Can you imagine a President named Newt? I'd vote for the Geico Gecko first. Hey! Not a bad idea. Thanks again, friend. Peace, Lee

Gee, thanks! I refuse to vote Republican, no matter who they put up for election!

Thank you so much, phaedra! I'm glad you got a chuckle or two from my rant. I am an evil-minded old man, and I'll bet your grandson is a chip off your block. Thank you again. Peace, Lee
Comment from Spitfire
Have to be honest,hw. The repetition got on my nerves. Your lines are clever as usual, but think a better format would be to saw I believe --then indent a series of phrases underneath the title line that stuck to one theme-- politics, religion, food, etc.

I get it, Shari. You might be right. I don't like catagorizing, though. I might skip 'politics' because I don't like politicians, and miss a good line. My format is surprise, as opposed to structure. Different strokes. Thanks for your very valid thoughts. Peace, Lee
Comment from Cooper Watt
Your lists are always a crack-up, brother. I especially love the barbs about fanstory writers and reviewers -- very apropos. There's nothing I dislike more about Fan Story than reviews that feel like "cut n' paste" pieces of drivel -- but you gotta take the good with the bad in life, right?
Hey, check this out: I'll be sleeping under Donald Trump's roof this Saturday night. No joke. Perhaps I'll write about it.
Later, my man,
Coop.

Coop, what are you doing to me? Sleeping under The Donald's roof? You're not Ivana's backdoor man are you? You have to tell me the story. I'm glad you enjoyed my latest list. I hope you're back on the grid, bro. Peace, Lee
Comment from Halfree
I believe I just had a good time in spite of or maybe because of cornball humor. Wait...wait...cornball humor is the only humor I understand. Oh well, enjoyed the read, got a few chuckles. Don't go on stage with that stuff, you will not survive; Try TV, they got laugh tracks and you could be a star or maybe a small twinkle. Hey, enjoyed it and keep it up... the humor you idiot... the humor.

Who are you callin' cornball? I believe you are just not sophisticated enough to understand fine parlor humor---being has how you're seldom allowed entrance. As for my stand-up career, well, that's another story (get it?). I so love being called an idiot...why do I miss that? Idiot! Peace, Lee

Finally found someone on FS that undestand we ain't going to get out of this world alive so have some fun now. Really some pretty good stuff in the last blast.
Comment from highlander104
I think this is fabulous! What a sick mind you have. I believe the only one you are right about is reviewing for the payout. (I needed to say that to meet the minimum word count for saying that.)
Thanks for the laugh.

Sick mind? Well, I have to thank you for that! I couldn't agree more. You only agree with me on the payout one? Nothing else? It's okay, Jean. I'm glad you got a chuckle or two. Peace, Lee
Comment from Realist101
I believe you are an honest and sort of disgruntled person who is a rare specimen (in/of?) the human species! Good for you, Lee! Stick to your guns. At least you believe in some things. I always enjoy the unerring humor that creeps thru all your work. 'Ouch' tho, for one of your thoughts... :) friends...suse

Susan, you know I would never direct a gig at you. It's this weird FS system that forces writers to pay readers, when in the real world, it's the other way around. Believe me, Suse, I don't really have targets here. I'm just expressing one of those things we all think, but never say. Please believe my thoughts are about systems, not individuals. Cool? Peace, Lee
