Hello Face Plant members!

This is uberYogi (resident artist) speaking to you for the first time since the re-vamp of Face Plant. I hope your all well.

Well I was thinking what I should say in my first post, however before I could come up with anything interesting, Bazajaytee jumped on me and twisted my ear until I promised to write somthing today. What follows is the daily rambelings of frustrated artist who is bored with his job and has let his mind wonder into the realms of insanity.

With that introduction out of the way, I would like to declare todays thought:

Lemmings belive they are born with invisible hangliders

So lets discuss

We all know that lemmings like to throw themselves off the top of cliffs, but have we ever really asked why?

Sure we could jump to the obvious answers like "They got married too young", "They work for the anti-christ" or "They suddenly realise the bleak obserdity of our meaningless lives"

But today I came up with a more logical answer. It occurd to me that lemmings (from an early age) have the mis-belief that they were born with the ability to fly. Looking at themselves in a mirror should have put an end to this thought, having no wings or even feathers about their person. However, my recent observations of the little critters has lead me to the conculsion that lemmings belive that they each posses an invisible hanglider, that they carry with them.

Now you may scoff and call me a loony, but if you look closely as the face of a lemming before he (or she) leaps from the top of a cliff, you will notice a little smile on their face, and a glint of excitment in their eye. This can only be put down to the fact that they are happy about what they are doing. Further more, when they take this mighty leap, they always stretch out their arms as if to take hold of a control bar. So strong is this belief that even when a group of lemmings decide to all go on a hangliding adventure together, they will leap off the grassy hill side oblivious to the fact that their friends in front have plumeted downwards before them.

Ultimately of course these furry little fellows are doomed to smash into the waiting rocks bellow.

But dont be too sad. Take solice in the fact that until the point they are dashed into oblivion, they are the happiest animals in the world. Beliving that they are soaring high through the crystal clear air, and enjoying life free and un-ecombered.

Would that we could share this freedom in our day-today lives.

So there you have it. My first post. I hope you enjoyed my little thought of the day. If you have any comments please feel free to add them here.

Next time I will attempt to stear towards a more saine conversation, possibley relating too snowboarding No promises though!!!
