Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 18 Jul 21 - 07:01 PM WHEN the 'arf-made recruity goes out to the East 'E acts like a babe an' 'e drinks like a beast, An' 'e wonders because 'e is frequent deceased Ere 'e's fit for to serve as a soldier. Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, So-oldier of the Queen! Now all you recruities what's drafted to-day, You shut up your rag-box an' 'ark to my lay, An' I'll sing you a soldier as far as I may: A soldier what's fit for a soldier. Fit, fit, fit for a soldier . . . First mind you steer clear o' the grog-sellers' huts, For they sell you Fixed Bay'nets that rots out your guts - Ay, drink that 'ud eat the live steel from your butts - An' it's bad for the young British soldier. Bad, bad, bad for the soldier . . . When the cholera comes - as it will past a doubt - Keep out of the wet and don't go on the shout, For the sickness gets in as the liquor dies out, An' it crumples the young British soldier. Crum-, crum-, crumples the soldier . . . But the worst o' your foes is the sun over'ead: You must wear your 'elmet for all that is said: If 'e finds you uncovered 'e'll knock you down dead, An' you'll die like a fool of a soldier. Fool, fool, fool of a soldier . . . If you're cast for fatigue by a sergeant unkind, Don't grouse like a woman nor crack on nor blind; Be handy and civil, and then you will find That it's beer for the young British soldier. Beer, beer, beer for the soldier . . . Now, if you must marry, take care she is old - A troop-sergeant's widow's the nicest I'm told, For beauty won't help if your rations is cold, Nor love ain't enough for a soldier. 'Nough, 'nough, 'nough for a soldier . . . If the wife should go wrong with a comrade, be loath To shoot when you catch 'em - you'll swing, on my oath! - Make 'im take 'er and keep 'er: that's Hell for them both, An' you're shut o' the curse of a soldier. Curse, curse, curse of a soldier . . . When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck, Don't look nor take 'eed at the man that is struck, Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck And march to your front like a soldier. Front, front, front like a soldier . . . When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch, Don't call your Martini a cross-eyed old bitch; She's human as you are - you treat her as sich, An' she'll fight for the young British soldier. Fight, fight, fight for the soldier . . . When shakin' their bustles like ladies so fine, The guns o' the enemy wheel into line, Shoot low at the limbers an' don't mind the shine, For noise never startles the soldier. Start-, start-, startles the soldier . . . If your officer's dead and the sergeants look white, Remember it's ruin to run from a fight: So take open order, lie down, and sit tight, And wait for supports like a soldier. Wait, wait, wait like a soldier . . . When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, And the women come out to cut up what remains, Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains An' go to your Gawd like a soldier. Go, go, go like a soldier, Go, go, go like a soldier, Go, go, go like a soldier, So-oldier of the Queen! |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 19 Jul 21 - 06:32 AM Writ large is the phrase thats writ large today. Everyone's getting infected with Delta writ large. Delta is more contagious writ large. But anti vaxers are blind to whats writ large. The most absurd little big lies are writ large for them. Olympic money makers will not attemd. Facebook executives are in quarantine. Politicians get vaccine in secret. Writ large are the lies of yesterday that discourage common sense today. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 19 Jul 21 - 01:51 PM The Paralympic rules for wheelchair golf are rather short sighted. The contestants are allowed caddies but no assistance whatsoever with their chairs to navigate the course. In practice Wayne Cummingham of the Ireland team became stuck in a sandtrap and if he was in competition would have had to concede if he had been pulled out. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 20 Jul 21 - 07:25 PM The post cold war is being waged with invisible beamed weapons like those that cause the Havana Syndrome and are deployed in every city with a US presence. When it comes time to retaliate a simple hack will cause the users to be exposed to fatal levels of radiation by their own emmiters. All Russian embassies will be X rayed continually and Putin will be sub gamma rayed from orbit to avoid detection. Its the kind of war you set to simmer and wait until everyone is well done. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 21 Jul 21 - 07:50 AM X-Men Magneto has officially re-instated President Trump President by decree. Magneto and Wolverine also say that the vaccine does magnetize the human body but on the plus side interfers with the Bill Gates Microchips in the bloodstream. Rumors fly Fast and Furious that Donald Trump is an X-Man but the nature of his mutant super powers remain secret, says Steve Bannon. Historian Rapparee has evidence Trump is Thanos who has callouses around his soul so thick that nothing penetrates his brain although hate can still be extruded by an ass hole of the soul. Hmmm Ass hole of the soul...That could be the title of next tell all book. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 21 Jul 21 - 04:31 PM and it was palodromic. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 21 Jul 21 - 06:13 PM Palindrome, yes, but it's not at all Prime. However, 2224 is the gene that encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the production of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The resulting product, farnesyl pyrophosphate, is a key intermediate in cholesterol and sterol biosynthesis, a substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, and a ligand or agonist for certain hormone receptors and growth receptors. Drugs that inhibit this enzyme prevent the post-translational modifications of small GTPases and have been used to treat diseases related to bone resorption. Multiple pseudogenes have been found on chromosomes 1, 7, 14, 15, 21 and X. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Ain'tcha glad to know this? |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 21 Jul 21 - 06:47 PM The genome project is down the street on Darnstown Rd. The information in DNA is mostly for complex protien formation. We used to call it junk DNA in the dark ages. Now with the advent of exogenetic info, my mind reels. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 21 Jul 21 - 10:16 PM DNA specialists and experts from the Idaho Legion have determined that the DNA of those living around Washington, DC have been contaminated with DNA of space aliens, specifically those from Rigel 14. This disappears when they have been absent for no fewer than 20 consecutive days. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 Jul 21 - 09:06 AM Extreme weather is being covered by weathermen like infotainment. Their agenda is to not alarm but to feel good since things could be worse. Now that the world is more accustomed to the new normal of simultneous pandemic, eruptions, extinctions, floods, super storms, fires, tsunamis, meltdowns, sinkholes, and artic zombie fires, now is the time for a mighty ELE asteroid impact. We are so well accustomed to the unusual that an ultimate challenge will be so normalized, people will hardly miss facebook, electricty and food and water. There will some relief to not have to worry about things like ransomware, vaccines and democracy anymore. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 Jul 21 - 09:27 AM There will also be no need to worry about dogs in hot cars, crumpets, staying afloat, olympics and whats for dinner. Carrion will be the ubiquitous bill of fare. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 Jul 21 - 07:38 PM Arrested development in America could be its down fall. The insurrectionist mind is a teenager but with a gun to simulate manhood. I know I ask too many questions and speak out of turn but I am not a teenager. I do not believe the latest conspiracy theory or need to simulate manhood. It is written 'judge not' but I am judgemental. "Being judgemental to me just means I have standards." Fran |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Jul 21 - 06:45 AM Cliff driving is putting stress on many State resources to recover and treat the victims of cliff driving. Cliff driving advocates say they prefer dangerous freedoms to safe mandates. The Mayor of Withering View Georgia says he will nix any moves to ban cliff driving but at the same time do not expect any ambulance or hospital care. Now that many children are perishing inside SUV's that take the 'plunge' it is surprising that the fatality numbers are still going up. The anti cliff driving folks blame a lack of common sense that drives people to kill ones self and others. Bill Barnone, a cliff driver survivor and internet influencer says on Facebook "You can die from safe driving. There is nothing like driving over a cliff." ." |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Jul 21 - 11:25 PM real news we are having a bird mortality event in the area. everyone is supposed to remove bird feeders. the birds have no balance and there eyes are crusty before they die. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Jul 21 - 08:54 AM I am not trying my darndest, damnedest or grandest. After 40 years of cartooning my mind churns them out a mile a minute. I picture the future armchair archeologist as a highly developed cockroach with similar human foibles. To put the cartoons in prose is easier than drawing and is automatic like breathing - but = its time for breath control. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Jul 21 - 11:34 AM I fixed your Fran link a few posts down (it was missing the last digit.) Bird die-off has been a problem since last year and some is attributed to people at home looking for distraction so they put out bird feeders and bird baths that weren't properly cleaned between refills. I read about biologists who work out in the huge fields of power-generating windmills and they look for birds and bats killed by the blades. They have dogs finding and retrieving the carcasses in the fields that are planted all around the windmills. The nature of the dogs need to be particularly playful. My Cookie would be good at that job. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Jul 21 - 02:00 PM Thanks I need a lot of help as a fractured genius as I believe most of us are. The parts I am missing, like being unable to speak another language and coding are filled in by others. I even married so that I could have a translator for my empty parts. There is a portrait of Bach holding a fugue fragment as he wryly grins. It demonstrates a palindromic harmony that is non linear. I see time as non linear and shapes in hyperspace and other things easier than most people while I am an idiot in some other disciplines. For those not on friendly terms with diversity will find all this unlikely but it has always been this way. Such is the nature of unique dyslexia. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jul 21 - 02:03 AM Don, going back a couple of posts, I've been scanning slides from an artists' collection at a local museum, and the two artists whose slides I'm scanning were interested in painting all sorts of things. There was a folder with a set of composers' portraits, and having grown up with classical music, I recognized them so added the names to the metadata. So, not BS, just interesting overlap. They made reference to the most popular images when they created their paintings of these artists, and added some human 3D characteristics. For example, it's clear that George Fridric Handel is probably wearing a wig in the historic photos, but in their portrait, the forehead shadow at the hairline is such that you can see a more human person who happens to be wearing a wig. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 25 Jul 21 - 08:55 AM Jacques Loussier interprets Bach in straight forward jazz themes. I have another way to interpret Bach by progressively extracting notes from the quick runs to resolve on the longer chords. For example using the first violin solo sonata The resulting etheral chord changes are far different than the linear violin version. The melting change from one chord to the next can be done only on keyboard or ensemble and is fun and cosmic. |

And even though I walked dusty streets at High Noon I didn't get in any gunfights or even a hearty game of rock-paper-scissors. It was hot, hot, hot and the smoke from the West Coast fires was bothersome both there and here at home. Sure would like more than a minor spit of rain! |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: keberoxu Date: 31 Jul 21 - 08:38 PM There are some REALLY funny things in literature, from Europe, about St. Martin's feast time. Like Friedrich Rückert's poem ... I'm mightily tempted to post it ... "O heiliger Martine ... " it's a hilarious description of getting the parish feast going, right down to the goose for dinner, the pouring rain outside, and how 'Saint Catherine is coming next, so put the fiddles away already.' |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 03 Aug 21 - 07:03 AM "Get Posting! Do it in memory of Amos, at the very least!" Really? I know we all have selective memories but I vividly recall the last of Amos posts. He deeply regretted the time he spent posting so much to the exclusion of time spent with family and priorities. When time is short we all could do bargaining such as wishing 30,000+ hours back to use differently, but to attribute it to "do it to the memory of...", it should at least be a true memory. There is nothing wrong with taking a word from the wise and managing time more wisely. Besides, the posts of the past have virtually disappeared for reasons I do not fully understand. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 03 Aug 21 - 09:30 PM This. Fortunately I didn't have to shell out better than USD 3,300 for it. I got it from the VA Hospital in Salt Lake City. It not only has a built-in cell phone to send data to the SLC folks, but they can reprogram it remotely. YES! I can be remotely reprogrammed. |
