BS: Cheering up poor Shane...

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Jul 08 - 10:19 PM Well, since we started I've talked to a librarian over in Wyoming who shot for Olympic pistol qualification. Besides, this IS the Old West.... (We shoot on a range using a 25 yard "cell" with high berms and backstop. The "open" range runs from 25 to 650 yards and has the side of a mountain as a backstop. The targets are, initially ballistic urethane "spinners" so there is no chance of lead "backspatter". And not a dime of it is at taxpayer expense.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Gurney Date: 03 Jul 08 - 10:07 PM I've heard of shopkeepers having weapons, but Librarians??? Bet Shane would have staged his breakdown elsewhere if he'd heard that. Good grief. "I'm sorry, this book should have been back last week." BANG. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Jul 08 - 06:57 PM I know what will cheer old "Shane" up! Our Library's pistol team may be shooting as early as next week! I know that he'd like to know that: six women on the firing line and myself coaching them! |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: gnu Date: 03 Jul 08 - 01:42 PM Next week is good for Dale and Del if you need character references. Hmmmm... on second thought.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Jul 08 - 12:42 PM Flippin' bummer, eh? I think the trial is scheduled for next week sometime. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Jul 08 - 08:56 AM When's his trial coming up? Will he plead guilty? If a jury or judge finds him guilty will he be rescued by his friends, the illegal aliens? Or will he have a good lawyer who will help him beat the rap in spite of the witnesses, the security camera tapes, his fingerprints all over everything, the bloody footprint, the blood-soaked gloves, the ax with hairs stuck to it by matted blood, the ballistics evidence, the semen-soaked blue dress, the tire tracks, the skid marks in his underwear, the defense cuts, and the confession he gave the cops which was witnessed by the Pope, the Premier, and Officer Dana? Stay tuned. And "Shane": they're building that gallows for someone else, okay? People who do what you've done get life without parole in almost half the cases, so don't worry about the hammering and the ropes stretching outside your cell. It's possibly for someone else, maybe. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 08 - 10:04 PM I'll bet knowing that he missed Canada Day would cheer him up! I suppose it was nothing but beer, barbecues and watermelon, like the 4th of July is in the US. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 08 - 06:52 PM Tasers are the stuff to use now On hosers in the local hoosegow A jolt or two will do the trick When a hoser is bedded in the nick Like "Shane" McBride of great renown Who destroyed the library in the town. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 02 Jul 08 - 04:11 PM I think an introduction to a sawed off broom handle by the local constabulary should do a lot to improve his attitude. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: IWTATBM Date: 02 Jul 08 - 03:45 PM If you are serious about cheering up Shane help him to achieve his goal of getting 85 billion posts on his thread. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jul 08 - 01:21 PM LOL! Perfect. Just the kind of belly laugh Shane needs right now. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 08 - 01:17 PM THIS classic hoser video would cheer him up! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jul 08 - 01:12 PM My GAWD, Rapaire! That is about the most awful sight I've seen in...in.... Well, for a long, long time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 08 - 12:55 PM YOU, Little Hawk, are the one who caused the Board of Trustees of the Help A Hoser Foundation to change their minds and move "Shane" way down the list. THAT led directly to his destruction of the Public Library in Blind River and his current predicament. I am not a member of the Board and had no part in their decision. If YOU, Little Hawk, had not shot your mouth off "Shane" would be living in hoser heaven now. Perhaps if I sent some friends to visit him...wait, he doesn't have any. Never mind, I'll think of something else. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jul 08 - 12:35 PM Yes. I can even use sophisticated words like "jejeune" now with serene aplomb and confidence... ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 02 Jul 08 - 12:30 PM AIn't it great how LH's vocabulary has improved since he started associating with them high-falutin types over on thuh MOAB? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jul 08 - 12:27 PM Have you not given any thought to how Shane must feel, Rapaire? Are you not moved by pity or compassion for that lad as he cools his heels in the lockup? Fie, sir! Fie! |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 02 Jul 08 - 12:21 PM It's a great way to handle contempt of court. Ole Karl Rove oughta to try it out on hisself. Might teach him a little respect. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 08 - 12:02 PM We studied these in Library Administration in Library School as ways of getting overdue books back. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 08 - 09:20 AM How about the one for peine forte et dure? After that you'll always play and sing flat: Because you stand mute you are to be taken to the yard of the place when you have been confined and there laid upon the ground, your hands and feet tied to four stakes or rings, and all of the weight that you can bear and more laid upon your body, and on the first day you may have all of the water you wish from the source closest to the prison door but no bread, and on the second all of the bread left from previous days that you can eat but no water, and each day more weight is to be added, and so to continue until you plead or die. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 08 - 11:11 PM Ya gotta wonder about the misbegotten sods who composed those sentences, let alone those who carried them out. I mean the sentences you are quoting from court, not your own sentences, of course....1 A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 01 Jul 08 - 10:43 PM She's probably more into something like: ...and to be whipped by a lash well laid on upon your naked back by the executioner, at the back of a cart pulled through every street, lane and alley of the city.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 08 - 10:30 PM Just wait until F. Cheryl finds out about the drawing and quartering. It will go one fo wo ways. Either she'll have a psycho fit and tear the Blind RIver jailhouse down with her bare hands and leave the deppidies lying around nursing their nuts....or the notion of a drawing and quartering will turn her on so bad she'll put in a request for vacation time on the appointed date... not sure which.

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 01 Jul 08 - 07:22 PM More than they have or can raise, legally or otherwise. And I do not fear, for the Idaho Legion protects me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: gnu Date: 01 Jul 08 - 05:44 PM Well, Dale did. And he's pissed. Just called. Him and Del got the truck back an headed straight fer the Legion in Minto and then the Legion in Chipman. They got a bunch of donations fer the bail. Some even gave cash on the spot.... well, loose change. The keeps warn't even phased on accounta they are pissed too. Soon as the donated loads of pulp and firewood get dropped off and paid fer, they will be on thier way ta post. How much is the bail? |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Jul 08 - 05:30 PM Holy flip. I hope Shane does not read that. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: gnu Date: 01 Jul 08 - 05:12 PM Cocksmokin and hangin? Fer bustin up a PC? It wasn't a Mac, man! Pull yerself, together eh? |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 01 Jul 08 - 05:06 PM Here's a little recitation that should cheer up Poor Old "Shane": It is the sentence of this Court that you, "Shane" McBride, be taken from hence back to the place of confinement, and on Tuesday next you be taken to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck until you are almost dead and then cut down, you privy members are to be cut off and burnt before you face and you shall then be drawn and your offal likewise burnt, and then your head stricken from your body and placed upon a spike over the main gate to the City of Blind River, and your body divided into four parts to be disposed of as the Premier of Canada shall see fit, and may God have mercy upon your soul. I just betcha that hearing that will cheer him right up! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Jul 08 - 01:46 PM Interesting way to look at it, Amos. I think you may be right. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 08 - 01:44 PM LOL!!! That's God's way of bringing about a closely-knit community from many mansions, Little Hawk. It's all good. It is only our tiny, blinkered mindsets. focused on unimportant worldly goals on a very small section of the playing field, that makes them seem otherwise. IF we could see the Truth, surely we would admire it and find Joy therein. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Jul 08 - 01:34 PM It isn't all good. Have you seen the traffic in Los Angeles? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 08 - 01:32 PM Whatever....I'm easy. California, ya know? Laid back. Like, the flow is groovy, man, and it's all good. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Celtaddict Date: 01 Jul 08 - 01:06 PM Amos, are you bragging or complaining? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 01 Jul 08 - 12:50 PM Maybe he's fibbing. Maybe he's a high-tension liar. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 08 - 10:12 AM LH's act is a prime example -- all this assertion of tension!! I am looking all over for it, and find none. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: gnu Date: 01 Jul 08 - 09:30 AM What's that got to do with a big old belly flop? There's surface tension fer ya! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 01 Jul 08 - 08:49 AM Here's an abstract -- maybe this can help explain Amos's tension: While the Triezenberg-Zwanzig (TZ) formula and a modified version introduced by Wertheim both relate the surface tension of a liquid-vapor interface to interfacial correlation functions, they appear to support very different models of interface structure. We resolve this paradox by showing that although the Wertheim and the TZ formulas are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit, their underlying physics as well as their range of validity is different. The former is valid only on very long length scales (requiring system sizes much larger than the capillary length), while the latter continues to be relatively accurate down to scales of the order of the bulk correlation length. Thus the TZ formula is consistent both with the capillary wave model, which gives correlation functions affected by the long-wavelength interface fluctuations that occur in a large system, and with the classical van der Waals picture, which holds for small system sizes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Jun 08 - 11:26 PM I see that the tension is getting to you, Amos. Your typos have increased by 32% in the last few hours. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Gurney Date: 30 Jun 08 - 06:28 PM Who'd want access to bo-no-nos? Bonobos, yes, were I that sort of primate! |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 30 Jun 08 - 05:56 PM Congo, think of your karma, man. A voluntary act of trans-species kindness like that could win you Big Banana Points with the Chief Celestial Chimp, and access to all his Bright Attendant Bononos. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 30 Jun 08 - 05:01 PM Maybe even 500... - Chongo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: gnu Date: 30 Jun 08 - 04:56 PM Gonna raise him 300? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 30 Jun 08 - 04:55 PM That chump needs to be dangled by one foot from a nice high tree branch maybe 300 feet up in the canopy so's he can get a brand new perspective on the natural order of things. After that, I'd be willin' to teach him whatever he wants to know...but I ain't doin' it for free. - Chongo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Jun 08 - 03:35 PM He could certainly improve Shane's card game, I would think. Chongo's a natural when it comes to playing cards and maintaining the old poker face. I'm not sure, though, that Shane would accept direction from a chimp. He's quite prejudiced, you know. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jun 08 - 01:08 PM Hmmm...maybe Chongo could train "Shane" so that when "Shane" gets out he'd have a career awaiting him. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 08 - 10:31 PM He plays ukelele doesn't he? Chongo, I mean, not "Shane." "Shane" can't even play his cards right. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jun 08 - 09:19 AM Boy, you guys are really asking for it, aren't you? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 08 - 11:30 PM Oh, especially if he brought his little tin cup.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Cheering up poor Shane... From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 08 - 11:07 PM I'll bet that if Chongo met Shane and Chongo did some of his antics and tricks, like backflips and walking on his hands and wearing that cute little fez while riding his little bicycle, it would cheer Shane right up. |
