Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:16 PM flattop... the most amazing thing about dogcrap is its ability for delayed attack. You can be ambushed in the morning and not know it until you're sitting at your desk after coffee break, wondering if one of your co-workers is experiencing gastric distress. Completely demoralizing! |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:22 PM He's talking about the "Declared Victory", Alex. |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: mousethief Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:31 PM I'm confused. The "Declared Victory" was bullshit, not dogshit. Alex |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:33 PM Yeah. The war of 1812 was another one that really didn't go terribly well (if you consider its original main objective: to take Canada, then called British North America), but it was hailed as a great victory. Mind you, it wasn't the complete and utter failure that Vietnam was... I think flattop was just trying to screw around with our minds or provoke some sort of immoderate response. My big disappointment was discovering that this thread had nothing to do with Bob Dylan. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:42 PM Actually, I think Dylan stepped in a pile of Old English Sheepdog poop right before his Albert Hall appearance in 1966. That's why he looks so uncomfortable and cranky in Don't Look Back. |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:43 PM I thought it was never declared a war; "just" a Conflict. BTW don't cows have 4 stomachs? Alex Trebek said so on a recent Jeopardy! show. So what happens if you give a cow some of that Japanese beer from Song Challenge! part 28? |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: mousethief Date: 20 Jun 01 - 01:44 PM Sharon, it doesn't bear thinking about. Yeah, the war of 1812 was another great American victory. Or would have been, if the Canadians had only KEPT Detroit. Alex |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: GUEST,Kim C no cookie Date: 20 Jun 01 - 02:12 PM Yes indeed, I think we need to find a way to collect expelled methane and use it for fuel. It seems to me that I have heard that people in the early days of gas lighting, actually did use methane. I will have to check that out. |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 01 - 02:35 PM Race cars run on methane, Kim. Maybe that's what they mean by "horsepower"? |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: gnu Date: 20 Jun 01 - 03:16 PM Detroit ? Would you consider taking Windsor ? Then, just maybe, we could afford to buy American made auto's. Free trade my ass ! BTW, I buy only North American made stuff if I can, but it's beating the heck out of my finances. Sorry for the creep. |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 21 Jun 01 - 04:20 AM I don't want to prolong this thread (well, perhaps just keep the (methane) flame alive till Spaw gets out of hospital!) but I read yesterday that New Zealand has had a proposal to tax farmers per head of cattle, sheep, whatever, as a global warming tax on methane emissions! Wait till the IRS get to Cletus and the Reg boys! RtS (hold the beans, mam, my tax bill's due) |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Kim C Date: 21 Jun 01 - 10:01 AM If race cars run on methane, why not real cars? |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Mark Cohen Date: 21 Jun 01 - 06:28 PM Kim, the "natural gas" that the gas utilities in many communities use IS methane. See? You didn't know how smart you were... Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Amos Date: 22 Jun 01 - 10:03 AM First, "blow me down" doesn't refer to wind blowing sailors off decks, but knocking them down with a fist or a belay-pin as a means of discipline and incentive, I believe. It has nothing to do with oral exercises on strange locations. Following from a page about the old shanty: "Blow the Man Down was originally a halyard shanty. Law on the high seas was basically rule with a Fist, and "Blow" refers to knocking a man down with a fist, belaying pin or capstan bar. Chief Mates in Western Ocean ships were known as "blowers", second mates as "strikers" and third mates as "greasers". " Though Spaw is most renowned for flatus |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Mickey191 Date: 22 Jun 01 - 10:20 AM Billy Connelly Story: Queen Elizabeth was in A horse Drawn Coach with the visiting King of Tonga. One of the horses farrrrrrrrted loudly & long. The Queen said, Oh I'm sorry! The King said, "I thought it was the horse." |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Amos Date: 23 Jun 01 - 01:41 AM Well, so did I! In fact didn't you even SAY it was a horse?? Why was she apologizing for the horse? Why kind of a Quee is going to go around apologizing for the digestive processes of farm animals? I mean, what, didn't they have anything to TALK about? Or were they both so darned awestruck each by the others' Majesty that they dodn't want to communicate anything for feare of disrupting the Royal Tranquility?? What the hell -- do we really want such darned fragile beings as our Monarchs? I am sure Tonga is not a hotspot of news, but anyone with half a brain could at least keep her Royal Humility laugjing overe the differences!! And it was the horse anyway!!! For that matter why didn't HE apologize for the horse, seeing that he was the only one who recognized the horse fart!! She evidently thought she'd had something to do with the sound effect. No I have heard of stiff upper lips, and people acting frozen from the neck up and so on, but I don't believe I have ever met a human being so benumbed by their own circumstances that they could not detect the passage of a horse-sized fart from their very own internal cavities!!! Well perhaps she honestly believe that she had no such cavities due to her majestic legacy? Sort of a residual of the old Divine Right days? Oh, where is Mark Twain when we really NEED him?? Regards, A |

Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: Mickey191 Date: 23 Jun 01 - 12:08 PM Amos Dear Heart, You sound as if a good fart (yours) would do you a world of good. Try it- you might feel better. I'm sure the horse did. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Blowing in the wind... From: CarolC Date: 23 Jun 01 - 01:20 PM Amos, maybe it was her horse and she was apologizing for it. But what I want to know is, where was her royal apologizer? It would have been his job to apologize for both Queen and horse. |
