Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Sep 10 - 07:37 PM Rap's note to self: Put in extra thick foam padding under the stairs. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 10 - 08:05 PM Falling down on the job is not permitted after retirement, Rapaire; knock it off,. It's very bad for morale. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 19 Sep 10 - 08:34 PM It also causes various skin abrasions and bruises, not to mention headaches. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 10 - 10:44 PM Well, of course it does, silly. You have to deal with gravity FIRST, THEN fall. Otherwise it gets all messed up. It's like forgetting the Norse mnemonic--rape, pillage THEN burn. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Sep 10 - 10:48 PM You just took a trip, Rapaire, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to fall because of it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 10 - 10:24 AM It was supposed to be a trip in the Fall, not a fall from a trip. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 10 - 10:39 AM Well I'm going to the doctor today anyway, so there! (The appt. was scheduled back before I left, so it's no big deal.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Sep 10 - 10:59 AM Oh, I get it! He fell as a way to make it a "value added" part of the exam. Gives the doctor more problems to work with so Rap can get more for his co-pay. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Sep 10 - 11:03 AM My sympathies, Rapaire. I fell off a ladder about a week and a half ago whilst cleaning the eavestroughs. I don't recommend doing this! I was lucky, though, cos I landed the right way and suffered no notable injuries. If Chongo had been visiting, it never woulda happened. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 10 - 12:32 PM Alas, the Falls of the House of Mom!! Come on you guys--refresh your training in Gravity 101. Remember that? Where you used table-edges and chair legs to struggle to a standing position, and fell to a crawling position every time you wanted to go somewhere? Falling off of things is juvenile and irresponsible!! AND illegal. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Sep 10 - 01:11 PM Oh, sure, it's fine for you to talk, Mr Perfect! ;-) I suppose YOU've never accidentally flushed YOUR glasses or YOUR contacts down the toilet, have you? Ha! Thought so! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Sep 10 - 01:18 PM On a serious note (I know, they're rare) if you read the public record for the coroner you'll see a fair smattering of the cause of death as a "head injury, short fall." So take it easy out there, everyone! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 20 Sep 10 - 01:33 PM Rap tripped and fell? Hope nothing serious comes out of it. May I suggest putting the padding on TOP of the stairs? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 10 - 03:30 PM Amos: I just now ordered the weapons with which we shall fight our duel at Getaway. So that you are sure that I haven't screwed with them, they are being sent to Janie directly from the Armory. After you have been shish kabobed enough they will go into the Silent Auction, still stained with your gore and none of my own. Mom won't be there to save you, either! Your friend, R |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 10 - 04:21 PM Dear Rapaire: I could not tell from your post whether you were proposing a simple assault and battery, the resort of a common thug, or whether you were under the misimpression we had an appointment to battle on the field of honor. For your edification (1) we have no such appointment and (2) we have between us no grounds to merit such an appointment, and finally, (3) there is no such field at the Getaway. It's not that kind of place. I will not fight you, will not choose weapons, will not be lured into insulting you to justify such crude mechanisms, and will not take umbrage at any manipulations you choose to resort to in order to try and bring me into your over-heated, combative world. I will not offer you any gore, and no-one is likely to offer you any bush, either. But we will be glad to swap music with you. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 10 - 04:26 PM is 3 7 5 7 3A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 10 - 05:43 PM I refer you, cher Amos, to your PM of 14 Jun 2010 02:17 PM (Mudcat Time). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 10 - 06:44 PM Aha!! Thank you, good sir. Now that I know you will be lying in wait for me hoping to catch me near the Field of Offer, I shall be forewarned, and thus four-armed. Your cause is lost, I assure you. You, having been trained on the field of Honor, do not know how to do battle on the Field of Offer, which is the nearest thing we've got down there. It's honor and Offer, and honor and Offer, and so on... A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 10 - 08:12 PM Geez, that picture brings back memories of when I was young...I think that was yesterday afternoon. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 10 - 09:36 PM You shall, of course, come to the workshop Severn and I are doing? Should you not, I will be forced to crash yours and sing way off key. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 10 - 09:38 PM By the way, on my recent journeying we stopped in at the Trading Post immediately opposite the road to the Little Big Horn Battlefield. While there I saw some very nice Indian baskets that were made in Pakistan. I mention this because it seems rather odd on a couple of levels. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Sep 10 - 11:26 PM I saw some rather nice Navajo rugs made in Pakistan at a rug stall in an antique mall here in Texas a while back. I know the feeling you're talking about. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 10 - 11:32 PM Well, that does seem odd. The Amerindians who ran the Post were sending out to Pakistan for them? Or were they being used to smuggle IEDs into the country? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 21 Sep 10 - 06:40 AM Outsourcing to Pakistan? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 21 Sep 10 - 09:43 AM Ah, let's just say that these baskets were a LOT less expensive than the locally made items. I saw a beautiful bolo tie on the trip -- silver and turquoise, of course -- and thought I'd check the price. $768.00 US. I didn't get it, but I did get a silver belt buckle with a rattlesnake on it to commemorate my recent participation in the snake-throwing event. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 10 - 10:51 AM You shall, of course, come to the workshop Severn and I are doing? Should you not, I will be forced to crash yours and sing way off key. Well, of course, you would be no such thing--your dire consequence is entirely elective and voluntary on your part, and couching it in these terms is merely small-minded manipulation (or at least your best effort at it). But in spite of the hazards to which it means exposing myself I shall drop by your workshop on Recrudescent Prepubescence in Musical Expression and see if I can muster up some applause. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 10 - 02:15 PM A new angle on the ancient rituals of Honor brings insight into why the Getaway has only a Field of Offer. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 21 Sep 10 - 03:13 PM Amos, my workshop is on "The Influence of Bavarian Lederhosen On The Great Scots Bagpipes." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 21 Sep 10 - 03:19 PM Excuse me, that should be "The Great Scots WAR pipes". Besides, when your vocal range is four octaves and your musical pitch is absolutely perfect (as mine is), it's impossible to sing off key. You can sing in a range only heard by dogs, true, but you're on key. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 10 - 03:28 PM Well, your workshop is already a smashing success having inspired me to coin the deathless phrase "Recrudescent prepubescence". It should go down in history (and most other subjects) on the merit of that fact alone. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Sep 10 - 03:52 PM Sounds like the Getaway is going to be kind of noisy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 10 - 04:16 PM It will be highly musical noise, Stilly; see Rapaire's note about his perfect (but inaudible) pitch. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Sep 10 - 05:08 PM Shane suffered from RP (Recrudescent prepubescence) until around age 13. He now suffers from Recrudescent Postpubescence (RP). It's even worse! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 21 Sep 10 - 05:30 PM I sometimes suffer from postpost syndrome, especially the next morn. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 21 Sep 10 - 05:44 PM Is a syndrome like an aerodrome? Do you go there to syn? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 21 Sep 10 - 06:09 PM In my case, sometimes, it's post syn. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 10 - 06:46 PM In a fit of recrudescent syn I have signed up to go hear none other than Christine Lavin sing Friday night. I have loved her stuff for years. I sometimes suffer from premature procrastination, and go around postponing things sooner than I should. My closest friends all forgive me, though. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 21 Sep 10 - 10:04 PM Is she the one who sings Bob Dylan songs to a Latin beat? (In passing: I saw a sign for a casino in Montana advertising that Ozzy Osbourne and Bob Dylan would be appearing there. The picture was of Mary Travers.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 10 - 10:28 PM She's the author of such classics as "What Was I Thinking", "Harrison Ford", and "The Kind of Love You Never Recover From". I have never heard sing Dylan, and she's a white-haired lady, who does not look Latina. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 22 Sep 10 - 12:05 AM I really prefer Dylan Thomas. Eiseley |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 22 Sep 10 - 10:09 AM My first green love. (A mogul catches Lily Smalls in the washhouse). But see, his Brilliantness drank himself to death. How cool was that? Not very. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 22 Sep 10 - 10:27 AM So did Brendan Behan. So did my great-uncle Albert. (Well, syphilis helped him along, as did drowning. He always said to stick to whiskey, because water could kill you and he was right.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 22 Sep 10 - 10:28 AM Oh, heck, I'll take it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 22 Sep 10 - 11:31 AM I know, I know. It's your birthright. You deserve it. It's only right you should have it. Etc., etc., etc. But Rapaire, those are ALL rationalizations and justifications. They'll just make it harder and harder for you to get off the Wheel, man! A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Sep 10 - 11:49 AM Is he on wheels now? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 22 Sep 10 - 12:52 PM Sept. 22, 2010: For the first time in almost 20 years, northern autumn is beginning on the night of a full Moon. The coincidence sets the stage for a "Super Harvest Moon" and a must-see sky show to mark the change of seasons. The action begins at sunset on Sept 22nd, the last day of northern summer. As the sun sinks in the west, bringing the season to a close, the full Harvest Moon will rise in the east, heralding the start of fall. The two sources of light will mix together to create a kind of 360-degree, summer-autumn twilight glow that is only seen on rare occasions. |
