Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 01:06 PM I do. It can be summarized as: Siddown, shut up, and give me you money or Baby Jesus will pee on you. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 May 10 - 01:05 PM MOM! No explaining needed! I spend a lot more time outside than inside, is all. The sun sometimes makes your brain a little dizzy. I can barely keep up with all of these retirees who need to go get a job! Another one! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 May 10 - 12:56 PM IT's a pity you don't have a viable theology to throw into the malarkey stew which you are peddling. You could outstrip the POpe. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: MMario Date: 25 May 10 - 12:45 PM He could be a politician. That seems to be a necessary talent for them. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 12:20 PM As for "redeeming social value" it keeps quite a few people employed in colleges and universities instead of having them hang out in low dives* and rob convenience stores. *Some do this anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 12:17 PM Amos, Amos, Amos.... I have a degree in English Literature. We were trained to see in writings that which is hidden from others who are less enlightened. For example, Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep And doesn't know where to find them. Leave them alone and they'll come home, Wagging their tails behind them. No one can deny that this is, on the surface, a simple children's rhyme. Dig deeper and you will find a tale of a young lass who was betrayed by a callous lover (probably of the Upper Classes) and is now pregnant; unless she interferes with the pregnancy her "sin" will "come home" (vide passim. "chickens come home to roost" et al.) and happily (for the child or children will know nothing of their mother's "sin") coo in the cradle. ALL writing, all communication, contains deeper levels than appear on the surface, even this one. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 May 10 - 12:03 PM Rapaire: Your endless well of talent in the fine art of twisting and distorting reality never ceases to impress me. It is a pity, really, that such a skill has no redeeming soicial value. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 11:03 AM Amos, I urge you to seek psychiatric help quickly if not sooner. Forcing Mom to "submit" to your libidinous urges indicates a deep-seated and quite ugly defect in your character. Herr Doktor Liebenscheiss could perhaps have helped you were he not currently undergoing therapy himself at the NYCFTTS. Please, seek help -- if not for your own sake, do it for Mom. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 May 10 - 09:37 AM Gliding like a fallen leaf, Mom sinks toward the bottom. Quick! Hit "Submit". |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 12:30 AM But how does it explain my love of bayoneting people while I play the Scottish pipes? It's like my favorite song: Take the town and kill the people Rape and pillage, loot and burn, Be very careful how you do things, Be sure to do them each in turn. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 25 May 10 - 12:29 AM Do you have to act German to Rolf? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 12:21 AM Well, one good reason I gave up Rolfing was the diarrhetic aspects of it, or whatever Amos said it was. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 25 May 10 - 12:18 AM OK, Rap is explained. Now, how to explain Stilly..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 25 May 10 - 12:17 AM Well, at least, the trumpet....and his affinity for the Legion Hovel.....and the wmd's.....and the Three Musketeers costume.... Not to over simplify.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 25 May 10 - 12:12 AM Rapaire and Primal Screaming.....explains a lot. Eh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 25 May 10 - 12:12 AM 35,800!!!!!!!!!! And it's mine, I tell you! Mine! (laughing maniacally...) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 25 May 10 - 12:08 AM Yeah, the more you pay the better you feel about it. ;-D I hate to think what Woody Allen has paid his shrink over the years... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 25 May 10 - 12:05 AM Thank you, Adam West. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 25 May 10 - 12:01 AM Primal scream = get in touch with your inner Id. Pay me $500 for the weekend, plus another $500-$1000 for the Resort/Spa accomodations, and let your narcissistic Id run riot. Fees high enough to guarantee a guilt-free weekend. I mean, after-all, if you put up that much money, you deserve it. Right? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 11:47 PM Never fear, Janie. I used to watch the old Batman TV show, you know, back when it was still fun? When it had that Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na....BATMAN!!!! music...? Anyway, Batman saved his and Robin's sanity once whilst undergoing the Chinese water torture by The Penguin....they did so by reciting the multiplication tables backwards. I took note. By doing the same thing whenever I am subjected to a barrage of psuedo-intellectual Southern California psychobabble, I am rendered absolutely immune to its normally deadly effects (it turns the human brain to chowder!). The Batman technique is like a psychic force field that blocks all forms of asinine BS. Amos can do me no harm at all, I assure you. I have spiked his artillery and stilled the thunder in his goozle. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 24 May 10 - 11:34 PM Back, LH. Back, I say! Do not fall into the dichotomous trap laid out for you by The Amos! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 24 May 10 - 11:31 PM Ida Rolfe, who founded Rolfing had been a Dianeticist back in the Fifties, I am told. Primal Scream, now, that's something I never studied up on. How did it work for you? S |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 11:23 PM Sounds like my Mother's dog...except for the introspection part. ;-D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 10:56 PM I was into Rolfing, myself, but then I took up Primal Screaming when I became a library director. Now I'm into Sleep Therapy and deep introspection. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 24 May 10 - 10:55 PM three five seven nine and one, odd is odd and odd is one. Have to hurry, 'deed I do else this post should end in two. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 10:51 PM He is not my projection, Amos, he is one of my many creations. There is a difference, you know, between a projection and a creation. If you had not succumbed years ago to the artifices of psuedo-intellectual Southern California psychobabble, you would know exactly what I mean. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 24 May 10 - 09:23 PM Actually, This is a better photo. Eiseley |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 09:19 PM Enough of this casting of idiocy! I confess that I did not give Eiseley's son an AK-74. I gave him an RPG-16. It's just more, I dunno, Idaho. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 May 10 - 07:38 PM You can look further than Shane for idiocy. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Dubya, the examples are ample (and mostly GOP. . . ) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 24 May 10 - 06:59 PM How could you say that, LH? I mean, when he is your own projection? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 06:18 PM Shane is living proof that there is no limit to idiocy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 06:14 PM To idiocy. I give them the benefit of a doubt, feeble though that benefit was at the time and is now. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 06:00 PM To what? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 24 May 10 - 05:56 PM I don't get why you redacted the word "idiots". Is there no limit? A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 04:54 PM The bullets vary, from copper-jacketed lead to tracer to a "penetrator" round with a tungsten rod centered in a steel core and capped with lead. I was shooting black powder at a public range in Indiana once and two fellas were on the 100 yard range shooting a) a crew-served WW2 German heavy MG32, tripod mounted, belt fed, machine gun and, b) an AK-47 on full auto doing an "assault walk." Now I've always felt that crew-served weapons or anything that fires full-auto isn't just for hunting anymore, but I minded my own business. Eventually the I don't know if he did or not, but a few minutes later the State Police came around. I was packing up and demonstrated to the cops that I didn't do it -- it's easy to demonstrate your innocence when you're shooting something from the mid-19th Century and the bullet is obviously Not From Then. By then the others had left, but I suppose the police got their names from the range sign-in sheet. I hope they did, anyway. I've always thought too that if you want to fire machine guns you should join the military. They can better afford the ammunition. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 24 May 10 - 02:09 PM Got me to wonderin what the weights are of the bullet and powder after I read that the muzle velocity is 900 mps. Tried a few sites, no go. Not that it matters... just curious. A throwback from my days growin up with them gun-totin heroes on yer TV. Plus, I grew up in a military family with a dad that was a Small Arms expert. (A 38 Parachuten on full auto will bring game wardens from a ways off in Ontario. Good story. Especcially when Dad told them that he and the lads heard the machine pistol from "that way" and pointed up the road from whence the wardens had come.) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 01:41 PM The AK-74 is chambered for 5.45 x 39 Russian. I experienced a moment of numeric dyslexia. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 01:27 PM Eiseley spoke about shooting "plastic bottles" last evening. "Plastic bottles" in Idahoese means "elk." They're out of season right now, but hey! this is Idaho, baby! What she was saying is that she and her boys shot at least two elk or something of the elk ilk. Perhaps something in the line of the downy-haired Idaho silk elk ilk. I just hope it wasn't a diseased decoy, you know, a sick slick silk elk ilk. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 24 May 10 - 01:26 PM Rap... "5.54 mm" TELL me that's a typo! Tsk, tsk! Jus funnin, bud. Is the safety on? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 11:51 AM Now, the girls...girls didn't have many role models in those old movies and TV shows who were normally seen carrying a gun, so naturally girls were not generally interested in playing with guns either. The only female role model in that sense that I can think of back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s was Annie Oakley, who gained fame in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. When you think about it, there's been quite a blurring of the once strongly separated gender roles in society. Young women are now much more inclined to adopt aggressive or assertive behaviours that were formerly seen almost exclusively as "male"...and in today's movies you see any number of female "action" heroes who play the kind of heroic roles once played almost exclusively by men. The girls aren't there just to scream, faint, and get rescued any longer. ;-D |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 11:43 AM Well, when I was a kid we did play with all those things too, of course, Stilly, but there was no greater joy for a young boy than to get hold of a BB gun, and I'll tell you why: because we all grew up on adventure movies and TV westerns, and in them our heroes were firing off guns, that's why. Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Wyatt Earp, Jungle Jim, etc...they were all guys toting guns, okay? So a boy's natural sense of adventure was directly tied to toting a gun. Believe me, if BB guns had been available when Tom Sawyer was a kid, every boy in America would have wanted one desperately. ;-D |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 May 10 - 11:33 AM Whatever happened to kids playing with old fashioned toys like sling shots? Pea shooters? Boomerangs? Balls and bats? All create projectiles or are rapidly moving objects that can break things, hurt when they hit, and do major property damage. But they're down a few levels in the scale of deadly force. Generally. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 10 - 11:27 AM That gun, Rapaire, is the lineal descendant of the Germ MP-44, which is the gun I posted the picture of. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 11:16 AM Hey, it was only an AK-74. 5.54 mm Russian. What you think I am? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 24 May 10 - 10:48 AM How noble is yon Rapaire, to tender such knowledge and power into the questing hands of one so young!! Oh, cheers and hurrahs for the towering figure of BooqieManne, who has delivered a lethal weapon into the hands of a child. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 09:51 AM Tell them for me that rolling over onto a rifle, pistol or blade ain't exactly conducive to sleep -- roll over on a wad of keys and a cell phone and you'll get a faint idea of what it's like. And if you suffer from enuresis you have to clean it in the morning -- not to mention what the guy in the bottom bunk might feel about you. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 May 10 - 12:42 AM Stick you your guns, Mom! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 23 May 10 - 11:20 PM There's BLM land about two blocks away from the house, so tonight the intrepid hunters and I clambered up the steep path and shot two plastic bottles to death up in the hills. The boys are trying to convince me to let them sleep with their weapons. Nope! Eiseley |
