Subject: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Mar 10 - 02:53 AM I've started this thread for two reasons: 1. There's no damned way I'm going to sit and wait for "The Mother of All BS Threads" to load. 2. I was hoping someone could give me a brief summary of what has been covered so far in The Mother of All BS Threads." Charles |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: Janie Date: 26 Mar 10 - 03:04 AM Oh dear. "Mother" is not to be rushed. Nor is she linear. She also happens to be summary averse. Load the last 50 posts. Read the last 5 posts. Or 4 posts. Or 3 posts. Or 2 posts. Or 1 post. Or read nothing at all, and just write BS according to your fancy. Or just type "wtf?" Ma loves you, no matter wtf. Post what you will -or don't will |

Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Mar 10 - 12:25 PM You can get the silly damn thing to load by clicking on the thingies to the right rather than on the thread title. You'll get a list of numbered sections of the thread. Click on one of the numbers. It will load reasonably fast. You can then read it and you will discover that the MOABS thread is nothing more than a gigantic excuse for a bunch of restless minds to amuse themselves each day by typing a bunch of ridiculous BS that doesn't matter anyway. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: VirginiaTam Date: 26 Mar 10 - 02:23 PM Yes, just click on the little asterisk beside the number of posts and not the thread title itself and you will then be able to see the last page of posts. There will be a numbered list of pages along the top so you can read in sections, if you so wish to read backwards. As LH said, it is just random (often wonderful) thoughts and some silliness. But it is so entertaining. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Mar 10 - 02:34 PM That it is. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: PoppaGator Date: 26 Mar 10 - 04:49 PM I have never yet entered the world of MOABS. I defy anyone to persuade me otherwise. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Mar 10 - 05:03 PM PoppaGator, I could arrange a visit from a local APP representative, a nice personable chimpanzee in a business suit who will explain to you why Chongo Chimp should be your next president. Are you persuaded now? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Mar 10 - 05:32 PM As I contemplate a heap Of feces five miles deep I wonder where's the smartest place to start? I back up and turn around And head for distant higher ground Where breathing doesn't jeopardize my heart Then I turn and look around At that steaming, fetid mound And I wonder'd why'd I ever wander there For the world is filled with beauty And it's every person's duty To light a match when they befoul the air Some notes on the above: 1. I wrote the first three lines, got stuck, thought about offering them as a song challenge. Then, little by little it started coming to me. It's about why I'm never going to open the "Mother" thread, of course, and it stayed that way until the final three lines came to me and became the justification for the whole thing. 2. I don't know why about half of the lyrics I write fit the tune "My Darling Nellie Gray," but it seems they do. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Mar 10 - 05:45 PM I just noticed the redundancy of the fourth and seventh lines. Let me see: As I contemplate a heap Of feces five miles deep I wonder where's the smartest place to start? I back up and turn around And head for distant higher ground Where breathing doesn't jeopardize my heart Then, one final glance around At that steaming, fetid mound, And I wondered why I'd ever wandered there For the world is filled with beauty And it's every person's duty To light a match when they befoul the air Oh, well.

Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Mar 10 - 07:24 PM Omigawd! I've done it now. I'll be looking over my shoulder for the thread creep politzei: I posted lyrics and suggested a tune that fits them in a (shudder) B.S.thread. Max! Joe! Have mercy! Charles |

Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: Ebbie Date: 26 Mar 10 - 09:34 PM Poppagator, stay put. I go over there at times and I don't see a spot in the pool large enough to jump in. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: Rapparee Date: 26 Mar 10 - 10:23 PM The pool is infinite, so whenever any visits or even stays more room is added. Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Muthah of all BS threads. From: VirginiaTam Date: 27 Mar 10 - 06:37 AM Little Hawk ...a nice personable chimpanzee in a business suit who will explain to you why Chongo Chimp should be your next president. Are you persuaded now? That threat is enough to compel even the staunchest monkey lover to hide in MOABS forever. Not the Chongo for Prez bit, but the nice personable Chimpanzee in a business suit? Would that be and off the rack suit or a really expensive Italian tailored suit? Makes all the difference you see, cuz off the rack means he is safe ordinary chappie or chimpie. But the Italian jobbie... well it smacks of the MOB. I need coffee now to steady my nerves. |
