Phantomlike creatures with withered limbs, grossly bloated bellies, and long thin necks, the Hungry Ghosts in many ways represent a fusion of rage and desire. Tormented by unfulfilled cravings and insatiably demanding of impossible satisfactions, the Hungry Ghosts are searching for gratification for old unfulfilled needs whose time has passed. They are beings who have uncovered a terrible emptiness within themselves, who cannot see the impossibility of correcting something that has already happened. Their ghostlike state represents their attachment to the past."

Describing a long succession of relationships with other academics at the top of their fields, Tara repeatedly developed an impassioned relationship with one such man, while involved with another. Invariably, she kept the man she was actually living with at bay. She would quickly and critically uncover all of his faults, lose interest in him sexually, and essentially prevent him from touching her, either physically or emotionally. At the same time, she would begin to fantasize about the next luminary to enter her life...She remembered an unhappy and critical mother who had rarely touched her as a child...was searching insatiably for the kind of nourishment she had once needed, but that was now inappropriate to who she was as an adult woman."

Sorry to revert your edits on "[[The Bells of Rhymney]]" article...I don't doubt for a second that they are correct, but I'm a bit of a stickler for reliable inline citations. As you can see, all the other text in the article is properly sourced and so, in keeping with that, we should try to find supporting refs for the text you wanted to add. As for using YouTube as a reference, I'm afraid that is somewhat frowned upon on Wikipedia due to potential [[WP:COPYVIO|copyright violation]] issues. | | | + | | | | + | Sourcing refs for the fact that these later covers of BOR exist and such things as the spelling on The Chateaus' version won't be a problem, it's just finding refs to support the fact that the incorrect pronunciation of The Byrds' recording was carried over to these later recordings. Oh, by the way, Pete Seeger's original recording pronounces the town's name correctly as "Rum-ney", so the mistake of singing "Rim-ney" was McGuinn's (and The Byrds') alone.

[[George Sisler]], aka Gorgeous George, was a baseball player for the [[Baltimore Orioles|St. Louis Browns]]. George held the MLB record for most single hits in a season from 1920-2004. One year Sisler came to Leeper to visit his friend Herman Radke and do some Quail hunting. It was common for Radke to load the hunters up in his ford truck and drive down the railroad tracks. One evening, while waiting for the train to pass, Radke, Dr. Owens, Sisler, and Paul Simmons all waited in the station. Dr. Owens found a deck of playing cards and the men began to gamble on a little poker. A short time into their game, three men barged in wearing masks. Two of the men were armed. The three masked men began to rob the poker players of money, jewelry, anything of value. Paul Simmons pleaded with the masked men to let him keep his wedding ring and they obliged. Sisler, on the other hand, turned his around and hid it. Leeper being a small town, Dr. Owens, noticed one of the coats on the masked men. After the masked men left, Dr. Owens alerted authorities and the three men were apprehended. But during the court trial, which Sisler had to travel back for twice, the Judge determined that due to the men's gambling, no matter how small, the robbers were innocent and set free.<ref>http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0826215556/qid=1228919039/ref=sib_books_pg?ie=UTF8&keywords=leeper%2C%20missouri&p=S07G&checkSum=4AWG0w2%252Fi95aW5rIgx8kHRiO1qNxzGsgpcvduj%252FNQ0I%253D#reader-page</ref> | + | Although he is not from Leeper, this next story probably involves one of the most famous people to ever come to Leeper. [[George Sisler]], aka Gorgeous George, was a baseball player for the [[Baltimore Orioles|St. Louis Browns]]. George held the MLB record for most single hits in a season from 1920-2004. One year Sisler came to Leeper to visit his friend Herman Radke and do some quail hunting. It was common for Radke to load the hunters up in his Ford truck and drive down the railroad tracks. One evening, while waiting for the train to pass, Radke, Dr. Owens, Sisler and Paul Simmons all waited in the station. Dr. Owens found a deck of playing cards and the men began to gamble on a little poker. A short time into their game, three men barged in wearing masks. Two of the men were armed. The three masked men began to rob the poker players of money, jewelry, anything of value. Paul Simmons pleaded with the masked men to let him keep his wedding ring and they obliged. Sisler, on the other hand, turned his around and hid it. Leeper being a small town, Dr. Owens, noticed one of the coats on the masked men. After the masked men left, Dr. Owens alerted authorities and the three men were apprehended. But during the court trial, which Sisler had to travel back for twice, the Judge determined that due to the men's gambling, no matter how small, the robbers were innocent and set free.<ref>http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0826215556/qid=1228919039/ref=sib_books_pg?ie=UTF8&keywords=leeper%2C%20missouri&p=S07G&checkSum=4AWG0w2%252Fi95aW5rIgx8kHRiO1qNxzGsgpcvduj%252FNQ0I%253D#reader-page</ref> | | | | | | | | == W.T Leeper == | | == W.T Leeper == | | | | | | | - | William Thomas Leeper was born in Kentucky and moved to Wayne County in 1857.
