From: The Shambles This thread is specally created as one where any poster who may wish to - and surprisingly there seems to be quite a few - can talk shit about turds, play spelling games or (if they really wish to) make personal judgements about their fellow posters. I think the title about sums this thread subject up - but I will probably be also judged wrong in this....... |

25 Aug 05 - 08:57 AM (#1549333) Subject: RE: BS: For all those who wish to spell 'turd'. From: Little Hawk I agree with Roger on this one. Turds simply aren't funny. I know, cos I step in them quite often, due to having 3 dachshunds who DO give a shit! (regularly) Furthermore, jokes about turds aren't funny, they're just tedious and boring. Same goes for jokes about farts...very, very tedious, unless one got caught in a state of arrested development sometime before the age of 10. I feel that this is essentially what prevented Spaw from reaching a level of true brilliance in the annals of inane BS on Mudcat (though some will dispute that!). If not for his puerile fascination with scatological humour, that boy could have been a contender! He could probably have secured a spot on the Board of Directors of the WSSBA and be sitting back right now getting his feet massaged by nubile young things in fishnet stockings, while perusing promo shots of Winona Ryder, and listening to David Bowie sing "Space Oddity". He could have done all kinds of wonderful stuff...but no! He had to go on and on and on and on...about farts! Pathetic. |

Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests? From: The Shambles - PM Date: 23 Aug 05 - 02:08 PM Shambles, what part of what MMario said do you not understand? It is quite clear to most of us that this site belongs to Max. We have NO say in how it is run. Kendall - It is indeed long been clear that this site belongs to Max and I for one have no wish to have a say in how Max's site is run. However this is a part of Max's website that he has very generously set aside for invited contributions from the public and called the Mudcat Discussion Forum. I have some agreement - for my reference to this part of Max's site - as our forum. It is from a very unlikely source - and perhaps you would agree with the both of us? [PM] Joe Offer BS: Censorship on Mudcat (1009* d) RE: BS: Censorship on Mudcat 31 Mar 05 Well, I have to agree with Shambles that Max seems to convey the idea that this is "our" forum. However, it also seems quite clear that very few of us want "our" forum to be taken over by those who would wish to make it a place of combat and chaos. So, Max appointed some of us to try to keep down the worst of the nastiness. We don't do enough to satisfy some people (Clinton Hammond, for example), and we do too much to satisfy Shambles. So, we continue to stumble along what we see as the middle path, knowing that we will never satisfy everybody. Such is life. -Joe Offer- Our forum is certainly not Joe Offer's and it does not say that it is in the FAQ - yet. TURD. |

Unless you have now changed your mind and wish to tell Max how to run his site? So why include all the extraneous crap that didn't make sense the first time you posted it - and certainly makes even less sense now that it is being qouted totally out of context with the conversation you originally posted it in. rearrange turds and you have durt. which is what life does anyway. |

I am often reminded of the local dump where human waste (or turds) were dumped after processing. The whole place was alive with tomato plants. |

25 Aug 05 - 12:18 PM (#1549512) Subject: RE: BS: For all those who wish to spell 'turd'. From: MMario If the tomatoes came from night soil/human waste - then it was incorrectly processed.

25 Aug 05 - 04:49 PM (#1549720) Subject: RE: BS: For all those who wish to spell 'turd'. From: catspaw49 We moved to a suburb of Columbus in 1959 and into a new brick home in a subdivision filled with others just like ours. Like other middle class families we had the requisite "things" that made us middle class. From tableware to appliances to fads, we all kept up with the Joneses. Where the Joneses got the idea that some of this stuff was essential to living the good life, I'll never know. Fortunately my parents were not much into that and as a kid I was typically pretty oblivious. In this new subdivision it became important to distinguish your home from others through landscaping and lawns, and in that we did put some time. The company that built the homes had come through and scraped all the topsoil away from the rich farm field before they started building homes. When each house was done they stuck a sapling in the front yard and sodded the clay. The sod was okay but everyone needed to enrich the ground so we all bought loads of topsoil to spread. Of course they were selling us back the same topsoil, dumping the pile in the driveway. I recall looking down our street at one point and seeing a pile at almost every home. After a few years every house began to be a bit different. My Dad's one great talent was building things with rock so we had lots of lovely beds and planters. Our neigbor, Bud, was a lawn freak. While our lawn was adequate, his was the kind of which a greenskeeper would be jealous. The turf was so thick and the Kentucky Bluegrass so lush and dense that you couldn't see the top of your shoes. It sprang right back into shape after you moved on. Bud was a railroader like my Dad and had an irregular schedule but mornings when he was home you'd see him out in his yard at 6 AM. He would sit on his honches with a plastic bucket at his side pulling weeds by hand. No one else ever saw any weeds so the neighborhood joke was that he was removing the individual blades of grass he didn't like. Fanatic is not too strong a word. Somewhere or another Bud read about processed sewage and it's great value as a fertilizer so he had to have some. He talked it up in the little conclaves of men who would pass an evening together standing in front of someone's house and playing the Jones game. Whatever Bud had was, in his words, "the best gawdamn whatever it was you can buy." And so it was his sewage was delivered and spread and we all looked on waiting to see how this great new idea could possibly make his lawn better. For blocks around people would walk past daily or gawk out their car windows waiting anxiously for the first sign of change. The change came seemingly all at once and as fate would have it when Bud was out on a run. I myself remember my Old Man laughing his ass off as he perused the crop of young tomato plants rising up in the sunlight. By the time Bud got home it was quite a sight. Funny thing though...As much as Bud later complained about it, the next few weeks as he removed each and every tomato plant individually, squatting down with his trusty blue plastic bucket at his side, may have been the happiest days of his life.

25 Aug 05 - 08:43 PM (#1549868) Subject: RE: BS: For all those who wish to spell 'turd'. From: Don(Wyziwyg)T The Fable of the Migrant Bird. Tune: The Dalesman's Litany. Words by Paul Haines. Copyright 1984. Adapted from an anonymous office broadsheet. A little bird set out one day an his migrant winter flight, He'd been delayed in flying south, out larking late at night, When flying up in high snow clouds, his wings began to freeze, And he fell to earth in a farmer's field collapsing on his knees. Just as he was about to slip into death's last frozen sleep, Young Buttercup came wandering up, all for to take a peep, And seeing the birdy on the ground, a-shivering where he lay, Young Buttercup raised up her tail, crapped on him, and walked away. As this steaming heap of warm fresh shit began to thaw the birdy, He roused himself, and from death's door, awoke and 'came quite sturdy, He chirped a song of happy mirth, though his movements were restricted, By the gooey lump of hot manure, that to his wings was stickted. Hearing this merry chirping sound, sly Felix from the farmhouse, Slipped through the cat-flap in the door, and swift as any fieldmouse, He hooked the birdy from the mound, and wiped him on the grass, And, when he was all nice and clean, he gobbled him up fast. The moral of this tale is clear, and conclusion now it lends, That he who gets you out of the shit, he may not be your friend, And he that comes and craps on you, he may not be your foe, But if you're warm and happy in a pile of shit, then keep your big mouth closed. Shambles, please read and inwardly digest. Don T. |

From: Joe Offer I was afraid this was going to be another one of those threads that was all full of Shambles shit. I'm glad it's not, because I want to talk turds. In fact, I want to complain about turds. And I certainly hope to get some sympathy. I went to my computer room today to check on the latest developments at Good Old Mudcat, and stepped over the gate that's supposed to keep my stepson's Shih-tzus (shit-sues) from taking their dumps on my carpet. As I stepped over the gate, my foot that was on solid ground slipped from under me - because one of those little shaggy doggies had left me a present outside the gate. Now, I was all dressed up for a meeting, wearing white pants and dress shoes - but the shoes smelled too bad for the meeting. So, that's my turd story. I demand sympathy. Or at least, I expect the kid to clean my shoes. Shambles, get to work!!!! -Joe Offer- |

27 Aug 05 - 03:58 PM (#1550976) Subject: RE: BS: For all those who wish to spell 'turd'. From: Jeri I like the idea of a 'turd' prefix. If people think that talking about fecal forms is more interesting and productive than the subject, the thread could be re-named. This would also allow those who didn't want to continuously see the title to filter out turds so the thread would not be involuntarily imposed upon them without their consent. And if 'turd' doesn't float (Great...now I have 'Mockingbird' stuck in my head. If that little turd don't float, mama's gonna buy you a little row boat, and if that little boat won't row, mama's gonna find Mr. Tidy Bowl, and if that little man is blue, maybe woad'll make poo blue too, etc) I've been thinking for a long time (since this morning) that we ought to have a 'thread job' prefix for any 'help the troll get off' thread. |

It is indeed dangerous not to treat The Shambles with the respect it deserves. But vessels should not really come to too much harm - if they do give it the respect it deserves. And it is a place that provides much joy and pleasure to those who do treat it with the respect it deserves - who will say that it is a feature where some of the very best sea fishing on the entire South Coast is to be found. |

From: The Shambles Short-term dynamics and maintenance processes of headland-associated sandbanks: Shambles Bank, English Channel, UK Abstract The short-term (over a spring tidal cycle) dynamics of a headland-associated sandbank (Shambles Bank, English Channel) are investigated, by means of field measurements (synchronous data, using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and repeated side-scan sonar imagery) and two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic and sediment transport models. The dynamics of the bank are described in terms of along- and cross-bank velocity components, sand transport pathways and bedform asymmetries.The results showed the occurrence of a net bedload convergent zone along the crest of the bank as a result of anti-clockwise veering of sediment transport towards the crest. This transport pattern is suggested to be the result of the dynamic interplay between two distinct tidally related processes acting over the sandbank, during each phase of the tidal cycle: (a) the formation and different stages of a transient tidal eddy that drives bedload movement during the flood phase of the tide and (b) the bottom-friction induced by the presence of the sandbank that governs the bedload transport dynamics during the ebb phase of the tidal cycle. |
