Since all you winners and losers, saints and devils, whiners and diners can't seem to take the original post seriously (and , seriously, why should you?), I have renamed this thread to match all of our banal to brilliant grag-bag of thoughts and notions.
My thought for this morning: if Shackleton's gang had to resort to smoking lichen and seaweed, life here in these modern times cannot be all that bad.

I like that about you! It's a damn shame that more people aren't like that.
Ah heck yeah. If a person only appreciates the beauty of one gender, they're missing out. Doesn't mean you want to sleep with every Tom, Dick and Mary, but appreciate their good looks? No problem!

I think I'm enjoying this thread.... but I can't be sure...
A logical response, goldrush!
Let's make it interesting and add a poll (well have to count by hand since I don't think you one can add a regular poll to an existing thread.)
So here's the question:
When you think of omnium-gatherum do you think of:
A) A death metal band from Finland?
A retail store in Singapore?
C) A play written by Theresa Rebeck and Alexandra Gersten-Vassilaros?
D) A collection of miscellaneous people or things?
or E) The chaos in your brain?
I think...”what the f does that mean?”
I had this plan about 30 years ago that I wanted to open a shop with a certain mystique selling all odd assortment of unique items. My then second wife came up with the idea of calling it The Omnium-Gatherum. I'm not sure where she came up with that term but I looked it up and, sure enough, it was the perfect title for such a store. It never happened.
And so now we have this Omnium-Gatherum thread, sure to pick up a head of steam the way and old bicycle with half filled tires flies down a road littered with course gravel, broken glass and cow pies. Watch where you go!

Nice catch, Brian.
