Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Bunnhabhain Date: 10 Mar 05 - 08:12 PM Following from this linkage of MOAB to the entire universe, we can say with some confidence that the universe is closed. MOAB comes back to the same points, often after only a short period of time. Now this implies that MOAB is closed. We can now expand this result to the cosmological scale, and prove without doubt the Universe is closed. This result is of vast importance to all sorts of astronomers, and Shatner. I'm willing to share my Nobel prize with Bee-Dubya-ell, and list in references all prominent in the creation of MOAB ( Miniture Observable Astronomical Benchmark ) And any smart arses pointing out (1) MOAB is not closed, as closed things have big red labels on, or (2) We wander round in circles, not inhabit a closed phase space, will be silenced with a potent rutabaga based neurotoxin.

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 10 Mar 05 - 06:56 PM By the way, like the Universe itself, BS is not only expanding, but doing so at an ever-accelerating rate. It took almost three full months, from May 5th to August 3rd, for the first thousand MOAB posts to accumulate. But if one counts back a thousand posts from today, one finds that BS is now being posted to this thread at a rate of a thousand posts every forty-seven days! That's almost twice as fast as the rate for the first thousand posts! At the current rate of acceleration, we should be posting a thousand posts of pure BS per day by 2016. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 10 Mar 05 - 01:59 PM Yes, there are. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Mar 05 - 01:14 PM Does anyone know - Are there any documented cases of people dying from "cat glare"? they can certainly deal out the lethal looking stares. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Mar 05 - 01:10 PM I'd say they have become non-existant. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bunnahabhain Date: 10 Mar 05 - 01:07 PM Shirley? Boer war? Wasn't she in something about the Zulu war. 30 odd years earlier. Or am I just totally confused? BTW, What odds on Rapier getting 6776? Men of Harlech, stop your dreaming, Can't you see their spear points gleaming, See their warriors pendants streaming, To this battlefield. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Mar 05 - 01:06 PM are you implying that some of us attempt to post certain significant posts based on the number of the post? What a silly idea! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rustic Rebel Date: 10 Mar 05 - 01:04 PM Dear mother, You are very entertaining and generous. You are dedicated to the spirit of laugh and even though I'm not into chasing the numbers you graciously presented me with a fine gift. I thank you, I want to spank you and I want to see Dismas Dyfydd blow himself with that orange noodle. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Mar 05 - 12:57 PM BTW - SRS - some segments of this culture know the Boer War though other then Shirley. But usually still cinema |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bunnahabhain Date: 10 Mar 05 - 12:16 PM Any real house has many tin openers. Real ones, the little tools on pen-knives, hammer and chisel, Ice-axe, Shotgun, etc. How many depends on what state you want the contents in..... Bunnhabhian |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Mar 05 - 12:09 PM so - anyone willing to distract me with stupid conversation? Live still bites. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Mar 05 - 10:53 AM What happened? Did he wander out of the house one day with the can opener in his hand? Amos, drive safe, and report in when you can! Mom expects it! SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Acme Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:05 PM I was going to shift the subject back over to the more silly/sexy side of things and started a search for a sexy warrior. I came up with this instead. Not to diminish the valor or the man or his culture, I was looking at the expression in his eyes when I decided to keep this photo--he looks like he'd be right at home on the MOAB. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 09 Mar 05 - 08:52 PM BTW I am off-line for perhaps four days. See ya when I do. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 09 Mar 05 - 07:55 PM I don't need swords. I have three chainsaws. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Layah Date: 09 Mar 05 - 06:40 PM That's why I do highland dancing. Swords! I wanna do more sword dancing. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bunnahabhain Date: 09 Mar 05 - 06:17 PM I'll stick to my nice blunt swords for Highland dancing. Easy way to break yourself, without even touching the things... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 09 Mar 05 - 04:45 PM Well, I have to admit that my younger brother took a broken epee and made me a main gauche out of it. He cut away the bell guard and reversed it, so that it formed a U shape with which you can catch and twist a blade out of your opponents hand -- or, since it IS pointed, stick him with the 12 inch blace. The handle is turned walnut, the pommel is an old epee pommel. He made two others at the same time for the College's drama department -- these didn't have points. My brother Tony has an even dozen swords; Ted has at least three pointy and/or sharp ones (including a Phillipine beheading sword), a couple sabers, three or four foils, and two epees that used to belong to me. I only have my cavalry saber and, now, an epee coming. And I only have the saber because my brothers bought for me, and they only did that so that I wouldn't be the odd man out. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Layah Date: 09 Mar 05 - 03:53 PM The swords I fence with are much too large to punch through a mask if the tip broke off. I somehow doubt that makes them less dangerous, despite the stupid amounts of protection I wear. I tried some foil fencing, but it just didn't compare to the historical fencing I do. In historical fencing I use a dagger in my offhand, so I get two pointy things! The sword I fence with is not so pretty though, being cheap and much used, very dented slightly rusty bell gaurd. I also have a shiny pretty Spanish rapier that I certainly do not fence with. Much too pretty, plus the blade is wrong. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Mar 05 - 03:17 PM which is why I, peasant in origin and station that I am, don't touch that type of sharp pointy things. Her Majesty would not approve. She would probably even stop coming to my archery range. It doesn't due to upset the Queen. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 09 Mar 05 - 03:10 PM See, Layah, gentlefolk are schooled in arms. A sword, and the ability to use it without poking out someone's eye, has long been the mark of a gentleman or gentlewoman. The sword I just ordered has a simple ambidexterous handle, a bell guard 120 mm. across, and two quillons (rings) inside the guard. It will come with a blunt point, and I'll put a rubber tip on it. Now, I could file the point to a point. That would certainly liven up the bouts at the Pocatello Fencing Club. Even though sport fencing has an accident rate so low that the insurance companies don't bother with it, accidents can happen. A Russian fencer, a Major in the army, was fencing in Rome in (I think) 1987. He was one of the best in the world, but the tip of his opponents blade broke and in a thrust the now-sharp tip entered the mesh of the mask AND the Major's eye AND penetrated 17 mm. into his brain. He was on life support for the three days it took the Russian team to capture the Gold. The fencing world was in mourning. Then there's Peter Westbrook.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Layah Date: 09 Mar 05 - 01:42 PM I find swords much more interesting than pretty girls, French or otherwise. I could understand if the males around here held a different opinion though. I nice swept hilt rapier...mm.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 09 Mar 05 - 01:11 PM Actually and all truth aside, I've just ordered an Italian School epee/rapier. It should be delivered by a specially trained and uniformed lackey next week. I think I'll get a French one later. And I'm not going to put out anybody's eye, either. If they annoy me I may grind a point.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Mar 05 - 01:05 PM But the maintainence on French Maids is expensive - and time consuming! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bunnahabhain Date: 09 Mar 05 - 12:56 PM How about a French maid? Pretty and can do the dishes.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Mar 05 - 12:54 PM but they are good for picking up trash and dirty clothes. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Layah Date: 09 Mar 05 - 12:43 PM I go in for the sharp and pointy pretty , but not so good for dealing with dirty dishes I suppose |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Mar 05 - 12:06 PM I want one of these or two. They'd look great on either side of the driveway. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:53 AM Oh Rapaire, go outside if you're gonna whine. I don't even HAVE a .22 anymore -- haven't had one since I was a kid. You think MOAB is MADE of money or something? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bunnahabhain Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:53 AM Well, it is very pretty. But at that kind of money, you're going to have to bring some fresh meat in with it to help pay for it. Hit it or go hungry... |
