BS: The Mother of all BS threads

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 04 - 09:06 AM Death isn't the deciding factor. No -- there IS "being" thoughout. I'm not qualified for the sisyphus award, really -- I am not that fond of rock and roll. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Mar 04 - 09:03 AM Never thought of that, Bee-dubya, but with some of the kids I know it wouldn't be a bad idea. Their parents, too. And I only gave the Sissy to SRS in only one category. I have no problem with Amos getting it as "Best Heavy Roller" or something. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 29 Mar 04 - 07:57 AM Dang! I've been gone all weekend except for a brief check-in and I was wanting to respond to Amos' post "So am I the appointed heavy lifter these days?" by giving him the Sisyphus Award. Then I get here and Rap's already given it to SRS. Shouldn't "Send the kids to be...." be "Send the kids to become...."? Aren't we becoming right up until the moment of death? Surely SRS isn't suggesting we off the kids! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 04 - 12:18 AM LOL!! For me, it was the Episopalian minister accompanying my mother and arriving unexpectedly. Don't even remember why?!! But it was a hasty retreat at a tender age; and I still argue for Bergsonian. Rousseau being entirely too serious! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Mar 04 - 12:10 AM I mildly disapprove of all the foregoing... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Mar 04 - 12:06 AM Of course, you could both be on the wrong track entirely. We were just practicing our Shakespeare. Hamlet. A little soliloquizing. To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Mar 04 - 11:03 PM A "Camus clause" sounds like someone who visits at Christmas. "Send the kids to be..." sounds more Rosseauean to me -- blank slate all that. The promise of youth, inherently unfinished...ah, I remember some unfinished things from my youth...I wonder if she finally got dressed or if even now she is awaiting my return...damned inconvenient for her father to arrive that way, fresh from duck hunting and with a shotgun in hand...I almost sprained my ankle diving out the window...good thing I saved my pants, though...well, perhaps I go see when I go back that way next...oh, wait, she'd be about as old as I am now...I'm still a kid, but she'd be an old lady, probably...nah, I'll let her keep her fond memories of me.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 04 - 10:49 PM "Send the kids to be" would probably have been a slip of elan vtal or a Bergsonian slip, n'est-ce pas?. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Mar 04 - 09:34 PM A Heideggerian slip? A Sartre slip? A Merleau-Ponty or a Nietzsche slip? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, do you think? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Mar 04 - 07:59 PM Could it have been an Existentialist typo? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 04 - 07:41 PM I thinnk Freudian typos and Existentiallism are mutually exclusive. Anyway, I must decline the invitation to attent the three-way swing. For one thing, it doesn't s who the three of us are supposed to swing with. I am leery of swinging with strangers ever since an early childhood playground accident. But thanks, SRS. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Mar 04 - 05:27 PM Freudian typo. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Mar 04 - 03:23 PM SRS, I wasn't aware of your existentialism. "Send the kids to be...." How very philosophical. JP Sartre and A. Camus and even M. Heidigger would have approved. Congratulations. I'm going to nominate you for the Sisyphus Award in the "Best Existential Post To MOAB In Awhile (Juvenile Division)" division. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Mar 04 - 01:03 PM Wow! Maybe I finally killed the MOAB. Got the last word. Stopped those guys in their tracks. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Mar 04 - 11:29 AM to Mudcat's first three-way-swing, featuring Amos, Rapaire, and Bee-Dubya-Ell. Send the kids to be before proceeding with this thread. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 04 - 10:57 AM OK!! I just didn't want to haul this long thread up from the bottom three times in a row! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Mar 04 - 10:41 AM No, me! Me! Me! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 04 - 11:40 PM So am I the appointed heavy lifter these days? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 04 - 10:36 AM It didn't expire, Rapire, you just used up all the rides on it. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Mar 04 - 09:53 AM I suppose I could get remarried to my current wife. Would that work? Our marriage license did expire some years back. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 04 - 12:22 AM Aw, BWL, you're just making excuses and you know it. Let us hear when you want to say what you honestly feel, man... A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 26 Mar 04 - 09:43 PM Sorry, Rap, I'm still in mourning for Bubba Bubba. Talk to me after a year has gone by. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Pussy Galore Date: 26 Mar 04 - 04:54 PM And he loves cats! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 26 Mar 04 - 04:12 PM Brucie not female? Well -- I wouldn't go THAT far...he certainly gives it all he's got! But there are some orgnic varieties in these parts make him look like mere shadowstuff. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 26 Mar 04 - 03:38 PM Amos, are you implying that Bee-dubya isn't, well, female???? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Skipjack K8 Date: 26 Mar 04 - 02:24 PM I'm worried that my contribution is a little premature, and that this fledgling thread still might not catch on. I'm also a certified thread killer, so this has probably consigned this thread to Davy Jones' Locker. That's an each-way bet to kill this mother. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 26 Mar 04 - 01:34 PM There you have it, TV Viewers -- it is suddenly revealed that BWL was merely pulling strings to set me up in an effort to dump Rapaire his own self. Now, I know that affairs of the heart are complicated and tricky -- but we have to maintain stability here. So you boys go off and have your tete-a-tete and sort out the destiny of your relationship and I'll go one dreaming about the womenfolk of Mudcat far and wide. Some further, and some wider... 'Kay? Thanks. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 26 Mar 04 - 01:26 PM But, Bee-dubya, what about us? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 25 Mar 04 - 08:45 PM See, just like an old married couple. Bitch, bitch, bitch about nothing of any consequence and then, BOOM! "I love you!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 08:13 PM I love ya, man. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 Mar 04 - 08:04 PM I'm a true pod! Nothing psuedo about me! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:20 PM And, just BTW, what the hell do you mean PSEUDO-intellectual?? I am an intellectual. Rapaire is a pseudopod. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Shlio Date: 25 Mar 04 - 06:51 PM On the other hand...Who would post to MOAB ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 Mar 04 - 06:50 PM And I'm stunningly good looking. 2400!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 06:47 PM Excellent, excellent idea, with only one fatal flaw. I'm ugly. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Shlio Date: 25 Mar 04 - 06:26 PM Well, it would mean that they could have their cosy DNA and soap chats in the privacy of their own home...stop giving us poor readers headaches... Sounds like a good idea! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 25 Mar 04 - 05:27 PM After reading several of Amos and Rapaire's little pseudo-intellectual sparring matches I've come to an inescapable conclusion: You guys really should get married. Think about it! We haven't yet had a MOAB wedding! It'd be fun. We could send out invitations. Khandu could preside and Joe Offer could give away the bride. We could do it live in the Mudchat room if we wanted. Yeah, I know, Amos and Rapaire are probably gonna make with a buncha "but I'm already married" noise and "but I'm not gay" crap. So, get friggin' divorces! People do it all the time for helluva lot worse reasons. And don't worry about the gay thing. You guys are too old for sex of any kind anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 01:05 PM Hellenic Hint # 3: Don't use scouring powder on young boys, Rapire. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 Mar 04 - 01:01 PM Hellenic Hint #2: Have Amos pick up the soap for you. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 25 Mar 04 - 12:14 PM You live on this thread don't you, Amos? :-) Mr Chongo is getting restless. He wants to do another story. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 11:57 AM Rapire: See this reference A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 Mar 04 - 11:42 AM Hellenic hint: Just let the soap lay there on the floor. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 11:31 AM Little Hawk has succumbed to the delusion that he is still a primate. This is a great loss to the MOAB, as his lucid rationalisms will be buried in the language of the lizard-brained Silverbacks and we will not be able to understand him. On the other hand, think of the disk space we'll save! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 25 Mar 04 - 11:12 AM N'hurgy! N'hurgy! Nyaaaahhhh!!! Wacka! Wacka! Freeble. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 09:02 AM Hellenic Hint: Don't use scouring powder on large wooden horses as it causes those within to sneeze. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Tweed Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:40 AM DNA Discorses?? Pitiful!...a mos' pitimous attempt at BS. Surely thar must be someone wif a Hellenic Hint fore the use obv scouring powder to remove corns and callussez.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 Mar 04 - 04:48 PM I suppose that could be. I understand, from the article I read on it, that Musscheiss's methodology was to to count the number of genetic pentagroups in the DNA segment and multiply, in base 10, by 5. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 24 Mar 04 - 04:34 PM Obviously Liebenscheiss and Mussscheiss disagree by an order of magnitude. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 24 Mar 04 - 03:42 PM That's Musscheiss's figure, Amos, not mine. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 24 Mar 04 - 02:51 PM I don't think pi x 10^37 is right, Rapaire. Where did you get that figure from? I am sure it is an order of magnitude high. A |
