Subject: BS: WMD's may YET be found in Schenectady! From: GUEST,Lewis Caterer Date: 14 Nov 05 - 04:28 PM Depend on it. I've been to Schenectady. It's a hellhole of vice, depravity, rottenness, irresponsibility, and vice. Oh, sorry. I mentioned vice twice, didn't I? Well it is, anyway. I think that WMD's will be found in Schenectady soon. When they are, then the sorry truth will finally be exposed, and all you bleeding heart apologists and special interest group creeps in places like Maine and California will be forced to eat your words. We will not be safe in our beds at night until Schenectady has been bombed into submission and liberated by the US Marines. |

From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 04:41 PM "Lastly, many parents were disappointed in the way our Police Department arrested a teen on Friday at the Schenectady High School football game. It was a terrible way that our Police Department represented itself. City Council Meeting 9/12/05" The above is from the City of Schenectady minutes, Seems like things are goin' to hell on roller skates. I think the 101st could handle it. Later, get the Canucks in to keep the peace. There needs to be action, NOW! |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Nov 05 - 04:41 PM I KNEW it! Here's Bush, wasting billions of dollars sending the US military halfway round the World to destroy evil while there's a poisonous viper lurking in his own backyard. This is a classic case of denial we've got here. I just hope it's not too late to stop the Schenectadonians (or whatver the hell they call themselves) from hatching their nefarious plot and destroying the American Homeland from within! Take heed, those of you who live near Schenectady. Time to pull up stakes and git clear of the war zone. It ain't gonna be nice. |

Geez, would you warmongers at least give 'em time to enlarge their families before you send 'em off to liberate Schenectady? How ya gonna keep 'em Down on the farm After Schenectadeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Nov 05 - 04:55 PM Hey! We don't use tanks, eh? We use horses and police dogs (like Rex the Wonder Dog or Sergeant Preston's dog, King). And don't forget this: we always get our man. The mayor of Schenectady is in deep shit if the RCMP get on his trail. For the time being, though, it's outside our jurisdiction. If your government can be persuaded to scrap the so-called Free Trade (ha! ha!) agreement, then we may help you deal with Schenectady. I stress the word...may. If I was you, I'd think carefully about it. Don't come crying to us when the Schenectadivonians (or whatever it is they call themselves) have you all begging for mercy. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Susu's Hubby Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:02 PM Attention all Schenectadorians: If RCMP are seen riding their Shetland ponies through your streets, please remain calm. Call all department store managers in Canada and ask them to please step outside and pull the plugs on those darn machines. Hubby |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:10 PM Well, all I can say is it's a damned good thing Schenectady ain't in Saskatchewan. Schenectararians. Yeah, that's it, Schenectararians. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:15 PM SERIOUS ALERT Through meticululously careful use of Google, I have discovered that "The Angry Red Planet Party to celebrate and view the close approach to Earth by Mars!" The above is on Schenectady's Museum site. SHOCKING. Just who IS this Angry Red Planet Party? COMMUNISTS ARE TAKING OVER. fIRST IT'S THE MUSEUMS, THEN THE PUBLIC ARENA--WHAT'S NEXT! |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:20 PM "Watch out for their one tank. It's behind the grassy knoll." You TWIT. We ain't got a tank! Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah. Hey, bobad, LH, we got a tank? Fish tank? Scuba tank? What the hell's this guy talkin' about? |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: bobad Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:22 PM I was in the tank once. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Susu's Hubby Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:25 PM bobad, We don't need to hear about your royal flush. But then again, maybe we do want to hear about it. We all need a good laugh. Hubby |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:28 PM Oh! Sorry, SU. Seems we DO have a tank. bobad was in it. Hey, then for sure we got three, because I was in the tank in Montreal and I know Blind Drunk in Blind River practically lives there--says it's the ambience. OK. We got THREE tanks. Get the picture, SU? GET THE PICTURE? |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:36 PM Just don't make us use them, eh? |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 05:36 PM "But then again, maybe we do want to hear about it. We all need a good laugh." That's why this thread was started, SU. Many times you have made a point of denigrating Canada's military. No, we don't spend the per capita on it that Americans do. However, presently we are involved in over a dozen peacekeeping missions, seven of which are in hot-war zones. We are only too aware that yours is bigger than ours. Take that as a given. And all we have to show for it is a public health care system that does its best to heal. Even the poor get good treatment in Canada. You should be aware of that. And please try to behave like the good Christian you are. Having guns and bombs is not really something a country should be proud of. They are meant to kill people. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Rapparee Date: 14 Nov 05 - 06:33 PM I was in Schenectady. Once. For about a thousand years, while driving through. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Burke Date: 14 Nov 05 - 06:41 PM There were WMD's about 100 miles west of Schenectady, in Rome, NY. Maybe a few got misplaced when they closed the air base. They could pop up anywhere. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 07:02 PM What is the official song of Schenectady? "Our Schenectady," composed by John Van Laak and sung by Judi Merriam. Adopted by Schenectady City Council Jan. 30, 1995. The lyrics follow. In Schenectady Our Schenectady What a warm and friendly place it is to be Nestled among plains and hills With a beautiful river that always gives us thrills And stores and shops with all that one might need or wish to see And legends and tales and lots of history Oh Schenectady Our Schenectady Let us now plan and help to make it grow If we will all do our best Then others can do the rest For places to study and learn in Places to work and earn in Places to live in happiness Source: Daily Gazette Jan. 31, 1995 p. B1 |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 07:45 PM Your SAS was trained by the UK SAS, btw. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Dave'sWife Date: 14 Nov 05 - 08:29 PM Why oh Why do people here ALWAYS pick on Schenectady? You'd think it was HULL or some similar place. I've been there too, spent considerable time there even. I assure you it is not like HULL or even like Hell. Now Menands, there might be WMDS there along with the ghouls rumored to inhabit a certain cemetery... |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 14 Nov 05 - 08:43 PM You guys have obviously never heard of a little Queensland town called Banana.... |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Rapparee Date: 14 Nov 05 - 09:18 PM Or a little Illinois town called "Hull." |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 14 Nov 05 - 09:37 PM If we can find where Martin Gibson lives, we will have found the arsehole of the earth, cause he is passing thru there... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Nov 05 - 10:42 PM Ha! Martin lives in Chicago. SAAAAAY no more!!! Look folks, let's not forget that the main point of this discussion is the danger Schenectady poses to the World as we know it. That danger has clearly been grossly underestimated in the past, and it's time to wake up and face the hard, cold facts. Schenectady is a ticking bomb waiting to go off. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: frogprince Date: 14 Nov 05 - 11:55 PM Like, I read the lyric to that song; KILL THEM BEFORE THEY COMPOSE AGAIN! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 14 Nov 05 - 11:58 PM You people are not taking things seriously enough. This is about WMDs. In Schenectady. THEY MIGHT BE FOUND! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 15 Nov 05 - 12:27 AM ... and then again, they might not - we could be relying on faulty information... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Rapparee Date: 15 Nov 05 - 08:32 AM Might not?? I can only reply that we must follow the examples set by our leaders, who are good and reasonable and honest men who would never, ever, do anything to mislead or defraud the public. As for the problem of WMDs in Schenectady, the solution is so simple that you'll kick yourself green for not thinking of it. Indeed, this solution could have been used in Iraq and can still be used in Iran, North Korean, and other places that are suspect to harbor (harbour, if you're elsewhere) WMDs. And the simple solution is to change the name of the place!!! If Schenectady changed its name to, oh, say, Moose Junction the whole matter would be over. "WMDs may YET be found in Moose Junction"??? -- see? It just doesn't have that certain panache, that punch, that je ne sais quoi. Now that that's solved, I'll move on to solving other pressing issues. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: beardedbruce Date: 15 Nov 05 - 10:19 AM I know folks who live in Schenectady, and I do not believe they would want to live in "Moose Junction" . Can we call it "Heaven" instead? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 15 Nov 05 - 10:27 AM Sorry, Bruce. I already started the thread. It's gotta be Moose Junction. But maybe we could make the town motto, "Moose Junction, a Little Piece of Heaven". Would that work? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: beardedbruce Date: 15 Nov 05 - 10:31 AM A VERY little piece... I will have to check and see their reaction- but I fear you might get some heated comments about this. Conjunction Junction, maybe, but Moose? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 15 Nov 05 - 10:34 AM OK. Then we have to get the Moose Junction council to draft an amendment. I have to get for a few hours. It's in your hands, Bruce. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, we must hang together or most assuredly we shall hang separately. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: beardedbruce Date: 15 Nov 05 - 10:36 AM I am well enough hung, as it is... |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: GUEST,Lewis Caterer Date: 15 Nov 05 - 02:09 PM SCHENECTADY, damn it! Schenectady is the real threat here. Even frogs are leaving the area. That should tell you something. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Charlie Baum Date: 15 Nov 05 - 10:11 PM Schenectady is VERY close to Altamont, home to the Old Songs Festival, arguably one of the best folk festivals in the United States. Even though people say Old Songs is near Albany, that's mainly because Albany is easier to spell and pronounce. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: beardedbruce Date: 16 Nov 05 - 09:25 AM Sorry , Amos We have to wait for them to invade Albany, then an additional 14 years... |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: GUEST,Lewis Caterer Date: 24 Nov 05 - 06:48 PM My many letters to George Bush and Dick Cheney have gone unanswered. The fools are lost in their delusions, and time is running out. Schenectady is a ticking bomb. They have thousands of trained operatives disguised as pest control personnel, just waiting to strike at the heartland of America. They will stop at nothing. People will remember me one day and say, "If only we had listened to Lewis Caterer! If only!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: Peace Date: 24 Nov 05 - 06:59 PM WE are listening to you, Lewis. |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: GUEST,Lewis Caterer Date: 24 Nov 05 - 07:07 PM Yes, there are a few concerned citizens out there like you, Peace, who have the wisdom to grasp the utter treachery and the monstrous evil that lurks in Schenectady, hiding behind a stupefying mask of vacuous ordinariness...bingo halls, Thanksgiving turkey, Santa Claus parades! Oh, they are so devious! It's time that those of us who are in the know formed a private army to stand up for America and show Schenectadyites (or whater the hell it is they call themselves) that they can't get away with this. Like Paul Revere, I am sounding the alarm! ARise, ye fools! Schenectady is poised to strike! |

Subject: RE: BS: WMDs may YET be found in Schenectady! From: GUEST,Just listen to this! Date: 24 Nov 05 - 08:43 PM Got it off the net. Read and shudder! "So maybe Schenectady isn't the Provence of New York state. But it is certainly something. It's up to a good travel writer to take something ordinary and quotidian, put a frame around it and call it a destination. Maybe that's my maiden voyage as a travel writer: to do that with Schenectady. Kind of daunting, when you think about it. On the other hand, who can deny that sitting by the Mohawk River down in the Stockade, particularly when it is not above flood stage, is a wonderful thing to do? You get a couple of panini—I recommend the Green Street—at the 1795 Café and you go pick a park bench to watch the sunset and the Union College Rowing Team glide up and down the still, brown waters. Actually, it's lovely. Or why hasn't the bar at Parker Inn off the Proctor's Arcade been widely hailed as the utterly romantic spot that it is? You can get a great antipasto to split with a friend and settle in on a sofa with a glass of wine or a dry martini. Just across the way on the Jay Street Mall, only a few doors from Schenectady's independent bookstore, the Open Door, Skinny and Sweet is a great spot to buy gifts you can only give to people with senses of humor and candy that you can give to anybody at all. It sounds weird to say this, but Schenectady is a nice city to walk around in. Sure, some of it is ugly and chopped up and one wonders how in hell anybody allowed those shabby, boxy 1960s office buildings to be put up. But Central Park and the Stockade and the Mohawk Bike Path and the GE Realty Plot all make for pleasant strolling. (And there's always a Stewart's nearby in case you want to have a cup of coffee or a Make-Your-Own Sundae with the natives.) Yesterday Madeleine told me that before she moves to Boston to begin her college studies next fall, she wants a postcard of Schenectady to hang on her dorm room wall. (Yes, you can buy postcards with any number of the notable, local sites—Lawrence, the Stockade Indian, St. John the Evangelist's phantasmagorical interior, the big General Electric sign.) "I mean, come on," she asked me, "why would anybody want a postcard from Schenectady?" She's 17. What does she know? "Apparently you do," I said. "Because after all, you said it: 'Schenectady is the Provence of New York state.'" |
