And again, Witty has come full circle and he is back to fixating and spewing hate on Mutley. It always comes back solely to Mutley, even if M hasn't logged in or posted a word since Friday.
It's a new day, Witty, time to fixate, lurk, wait, gnash, search, quote, post, all over again. Enjoy the cyber hobby farm you have created.

http://www.taleswithmorals.com/aesop-fable-the-miser-and-his-gold.htm
Once upon a time there was a Miser who used to hide his gold at the foot of a tree in his garden; but every week he used to go and dig it up and gloat over his gains. A robber, who had noticed this, went and dug up the gold and decamped with it. When the Miser next came to gloat over his treasures, he found nothing but the empty hole. He tore his hair, and raised such an outcry that all the neighbours came around him, and he told them how he used to come and visit his gold.
"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them.
"Nay," said he, "I only came to look at it."
"Then come again and look at the hole," said a neighbour; "it will do you just as much good."
Moral of Aesops Fable: Wealth unused might as well not exist

The Ant and the Grasshopper
An Aesop's Fable
An Aesop's Fable
Aesop's Fable Index
In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants
distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:

Belling the Cat
An Aesop's Fable
An Aesop's Fable
Aesop's Fable Index
Long ago, the mice had a general council to consider what measures they could take to outwit their common enemy, the Cat. Some said this, and some said that; but at last a young mouse got up and said he had a proposal to make, which he thought would meet the case. "You will all agree," said he, "that our chief danger consists in the sly and treacherous manner in which the enemy approaches us. Now, if we could receive some signal of her approach, we could easily escape from her. I venture, therefore, to propose that a small bell be procured, and attached by a ribbon round the neck of the Cat. By this means we should always know when she was about, and could easily retire while she was in the neighbourhood."
This proposal met with general applause, until an old mouse got up and said:
"That is all very well, but who is to bell the Cat?" The mice looked at one another and nobody spoke. Then the old mouse said:

The Lion and the Boar
An Aesop's Fable
An Aesop's Fable
Aesop's Fable Index
On a summer day, when the great heat induced a general thirst, a Lion and a Boar came at the same moment to a small well to drink. They fiercely disputed which of them should drink first, and were soon engaged in the agonies of a mortal combat. On their stopping on a sudden to take breath for the fiercer renewal of the strife, they saw some Vultures waiting in the distance to feast on the one which should fall first. They at once made up their quarrel, saying: "It is better for us to make friends, than to become the food of Crows or Vultures, as will certainly happen if we are disabled."
Moral of Aesops Fable: Those who strive are often watched by others who will take advantage of their defeat to benefit themselves.
