Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 03 Aug 11 - 05:51 PM "I think I made my point long ago" I think most people would agree. Except for GfS. I think that if you just let it go you may find that most don't even read his/her posts. |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: gnu Date: 03 Aug 11 - 06:04 PM I read some of those types of posts, depending on the topic, if they are not too long. I ignore most of what is posted therein as gobble and shite trolling, but I read them because they often make me laugh. Perhaps that is the intent of such posts?... Mudcourt jesters? I hope so. Oh dear. Is this getting nasty? Recall what Max recently said... play nice or get axed. Then again, some posts and threads don't get axed when things get nasty... so... have at it! Let's see where the nasty trolls take us. I am sure most people here are "man enough" to read all the shite and not wilt. Indeed, reading tripe and lard let's everyone know who is fat. |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: Joe_F Date: 03 Aug 11 - 06:32 PM Jack the Sailor: Interesting indeed! A pretty fellow who manages to move fast between lines. That YouTube page contains links to *many* musical settings of "If". For that matter, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it was being sung in music halls 100 years ago. |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Aug 11 - 07:09 PM Yeah, gnu. ;-) I read these back and forth vicious personal vendettas on the political threads mostly just for laughs too. It's good daily entertainment, and it's cheap. I know perfectly well that none of the battlers here are going to change the way "the other guy" thinks one iota...nor are any of them going to win anything except the momentary orgasmic thrill that they get in their own minds thinking they just nailed the other guy with a devastating point. Big whoop! ;-) But you can depend that they'll go on doing it as long as their fingers still have strength to pound the keys. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: LadyJean Date: 03 Aug 11 - 10:29 PM My dad would have told you a real man never lost his temper. It was a rare thing when he did. If he got mad you KNEW you'd done something you shouldn't have. My only observation is that if a man thinks getting drunk and throwing up is fun, he's too young. Chronological age doesn't matter. If he likes to get wasted and hurl. He's too young. |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Aug 11 - 12:53 AM OK, Don Firth and Guest from Sanity, I have received too many complaints about your squabbles. I have removed most of your posts from this thread. This has gone on far to long. You are no longer permitted to address each other or speak about one another in this forum. If you still feel a need to do this, Get a room!!! -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 04 Aug 11 - 07:13 AM When I read these vituperative and rather vicious exchanges, I have to smile, as I'm reminded of Monty Python, "Is this a sixpenny argument or a shilling one?" If a shilling one, they set-to even more ferociously. If a sixpenny one, they shook hands and went their seperate ways. Perhaps we need more 'sixpenny' discussions, and to forget the 'shilling' ones! |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 04 Aug 11 - 08:53 AM Works for me! Joe, I would have trusted, that, in the 'orchestrated' influx of 'e-mails' of 'complaints', that you were fair enough, (and I have no reason to doubt that you were), to point out, that had claims, based on falsehoods, would understandably precipitate, rebuttals of defense, and an admonishment, to keep things truthful....in keeping of, to topic of this thread, 'BS: What is a real man?' Respectfully, GfS

Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: gnu Date: 04 Aug 11 - 02:56 PM Yeah, Ford is one fer sure. Just a regular guy who got real lucky and one who didn't have to fly his chopper into danger to help out but did so because he is a real man. |

From: Jack the Sailor Date: 04 Aug 11 - 06:54 PM "Just a regular guy who got real lucky and one who didn't have to fly his chopper into danger to help out but did so because he is a real man." Harrison Ford did this? I saw him Gary Oldman off a plane but I missed the chopper thing. |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: Gurney Date: 04 Aug 11 - 09:50 PM A real man never dates blues singers, jazz singers, or pretty much any kind of singer. They all seem to be false ones. |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: gnu Date: 04 Aug 11 - 10:14 PM JtS... three times, that I am aware of, Ford used his chopper to help people on a "volunteer" basis. Once, he flew his chopper in dangerous conditions to do so. Leno asked him about it on his TV show and Ford said something like, "I was closest. No big deal." I am sure you can google the gobble on it. In any case, he's a real man in my books... he still looks into the camera and says he's just a lucky guy who happened to do a carpentry job for the "right" person and became famous and rich by bullshit luck. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 07 Aug 11 - 10:40 AM Kendall, I was scrolling through here, and can't remember where, but there is an article, complete with pic, of you and doctor, and the article deals with some new treatment for something they are trying...let me go look through the posts, again..but you might even find it before I do.... Regards, GfS |
Subject: RE: BS: What is a real man? From: GUEST Date: 07 Aug 11 - 10:45 AM 100....and YOU posted the article. "Subject: Kendall's new hope From: kendall Date: 01 Aug 11 - 09:56 AM Check this out folks! From the Boston Globe" I probably should have posted in the other thread, but when i saw your name pop up on this one, I thought I'd inquire. In any event, I wish you the very best, in whatever they are trying to do for you!...and I mean that honestly! GfS |
