Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Jun 11 - 03:25 PM No no no, it's Intergarlic overload. Too much garlic, not too much lard. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 30 Jun 11 - 03:11 PM Intergalactic Overlard? That sounds like some kind of gelatinous ooze, or maybe a pudding of sorts. Eiseley |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 30 Jun 11 - 02:52 PM To know only what is true Is to open the soul to BS. Here, knowing only BS, We open our souls to what is true. Sound preposterous? The possibilities are endless. Lyon Pheryl-Cattes, Poems My Mother Wouldn't Have Thought Of Lyttle Bytobuhl, London, 1923 |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 30 Jun 11 - 12:26 PM Q.E.D. I said that. I made me say it. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jun 11 - 10:41 AM Yes, it is. (I made you say that.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Jun 11 - 07:13 PM It is crystal clear, herein, that some self-referential loops are more jejune, obdurate and specious than others. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 11 - 06:59 PM "Send in the Examiners." Oh, right! I created this "Intergargleatic Overlard" anyway, just as I created everything else. As for Shame and I doing some sort of soul-sharing gig, I'd know about it if it were true. Shame is the result of a bit of undigested applejack I had one evening -- he was created when I got sick to my stomach. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jun 11 - 05:57 PM "Oversouled himself" Heh! Heh! ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 29 Jun 11 - 05:43 PM More like overshoe. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Jun 11 - 05:30 PM Hey, Shane!! Hiya Chongo--how's the simian old thing? Hangin' in there!! Hyar hyar. Say, ya seen Rapparee? We were do for a showdown of wits. Oh, him? I heard he emulsified or somp'n What? Whaddya mean?? He just evaporated one day, pffsssst!! Just like that!! It was his own fault though! Why? Whaddhe do? Well, I heard he oversouled himself. Boddaboing, boddabang! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jun 11 - 02:58 PM By the way, I know a man (?) named Shane and he is under the extremely false impression that ALL women desire him! That degree of presumption more or less equals the grandiosity of Rapparee's exaggerated view of himself and his place in the Universe. Perhaps these two individuals are psychically linked at the Oversoul level! That could explain their instinctive deep antipathy toward one another, as each one finds the reflection of himself in the other to be intolerable. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jun 11 - 02:48 PM That is a great comfort. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Intergalactic Overlord Date: 29 Jun 11 - 01:12 PM This Raparree creature actually seems to believe that it created everyone and everything. Perhaps it is deluding itself, but perhaps I should send some Examiners to determine the truth of the matter. They can repair self-delusion, but if it is more than that I will have to step in. In the meantime, have courage and continue with your petty lives knowing that I will care for you. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 11 - 10:18 AM Quiet down now, my creations. Don't fight or I'll have to stop thinking of you for a few moments and you know what THAT would mean -- your brief nonexistence. If you doubt this, remember what happened to Martin Gibson. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Jun 11 - 09:51 AM What? Keep YOU amused??? I thought you were here to keep US amused!!! THere's been a terrible misunderstanding!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jun 11 - 01:41 AM That was lovely, Rapparee! Thanks. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Jun 11 - 12:13 AM Well, if you REALLY want to change the subject, you could talk about DAD/S. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 29 Jun 11 - 12:03 AM As I said, Rapparee, you may enjoy just such a long-haired beauty. I'll bet Pat wouldn't mind at all. Eiseley |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 11 - 07:24 PM Fine. Here's a blonde floozie for LH's edification and enjoyment. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 28 Jun 11 - 06:09 PM Right back atcha you Uppity Canuck. Pretty snooty talk from up there in Ontario. I'd expect that from Lotus Land but not from The Great Lacks Region. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Jun 11 - 06:02 PM Ach! The ennui. Really, gentlemen, you must come up with something more diverting to sustain my interest in this thread, rather than maundering on endlessly about "Mom". I know you can do better than that. Don't disappoint me. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 11 - 03:49 PM IF our MOM was ever seen in the company of floozies, it was only because she was trying to persuadfe them to walk a better path and see the error of their ways, much as I do with Rapparree. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 11 - 02:21 PM Both the floozies AND the brass knucks. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 28 Jun 11 - 02:12 PM She's redfished? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 11 - 12:52 PM Mom without her blackjack is like a fish without a bicycle. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Jun 11 - 11:24 AM Which? Caught her with brass knuckles, or caught her with floozies? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 11 - 09:41 AM Poor, poor Mom. Alone and palely loitering amidst the bar girls and the beer. And Mom? next time you go slumming, leave your blackjack and brass knuckles at home. You know what the nice policeman said he'd do the next time he caught you with them. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 11 - 11:12 PM She meant to say, "...what kind of friends you are." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 11 - 07:29 PM I started a separate thread just for her. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 27 Jun 11 - 07:06 PM Thank you, thank you, thank you! What kind friends you are. Eiseley |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Jun 11 - 10:13 AM Mutant fruit flies have helped solve one of the biggest puzzles in genetics: how the stress of starvation or drug addiction can pass on its ill effects to the sufferer's children and grandchildren. Stress is thought to cause "epigenetic" changes that do not alter the sequence of DNA but leave chemical marks on genes that dictate how active they are. Previous studies have shown that if mice are stressed for two weeks after birth, their offspring will show signs of depression and anxiety, despite enjoying the usual levels of maternal care. And there is mounting evidence that common health problems including diabetes, obesity, mental illness and even fear could be the result of stress on parents and grandparents. However, until now attempts to identify changes in inherited DNA that might explain how these effects are passed on have failed. Now, Shunsuke Ishii at the Riken Tsukuba Institute in Ibaraki, Japan, and colleagues have identified a molecular mechanism by which the effects of stress can be handed down without altering genes or DNA. (New Scientist) Most interesting--inheritable stress!! The says a lot about memetic patterns in families, indirectly. Big hmmmmmm. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Jun 11 - 09:44 AM Janie, I've been loading recorded books into the "library" for such things in Windows Media Player for my mp3 player. And then I lost the mp3 player. The files are still here. Do you have a DVD drive or a BluRay drive on your computer? I can load up some of these and send them along. Agatha Christie, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, Georgette Heyer (yes! Those old regency novels from the 1960s and 70s are turning up on recorded books. I haven't listened to any yet, though I read them all when I was a teen). I'm kicking myself over the player. Maybe it fell out on the shuttle bus at work. I need to see if there is a lost and found. It might be right here in plain sight in the house - it's so small, and my house is so cluttered - you see the problem. I looked in my pickup, it isn't in any of the crevices around the seat. At least some of these files would go to some good! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Jun 11 - 09:19 AM I can send you an electronic file you will enjoy if you have something to read it on! A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Janie Date: 26 Jun 11 - 09:10 PM Wow, fambly -it are amazin' we is so tuned in to the same wave links as to eschew all the silly Vampire novels and spin-offs on the books on CD rack at Cracker Barrel. All together now, diahrhect all our thought waves as one to "Cracker Barrel" to cause some new interesting books to appear as I seem to have made enough trips north over the last 6 months to have exhausted the supply and now am reduced to Scott Trudow novels to accompany me on my weekly journey. How about some good non-fiction, or some new, top-notch "young adult" fantasy or sci-fi? Come on, Magical MOAB, you can do it. Don't reduce my options to Sarah Palin's memoir in the non-fiction category. Puleeeeseeeeee! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Jun 11 - 09:01 PM Shane was menaced by what may have been a werewolf on one occasion when he was lost in the woods near Blind River. Fortunately, he escaped. Or it may be that his personal "aura" proved too strong for the creature and it opted to leave him alone. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 26 Jun 11 - 11:35 AM With so much preparation against an attack by werewolves, I am sure you will fall to the rapacious appetites of a Kraken instead. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 26 Jun 11 - 10:09 AM You can never tell when you might be attacked by a rabid werewolf. It's best to be prepared. I also carry a silver dagger, a blunderbuss loaded with silver shot, and bathe daily in silver nitrate solution followed by an applications of garlic oil. So far it's been very effective. Not even a cold, much less a werewolf, and people always respect my "personal space." |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Jun 11 - 06:06 AM That must be quite a load off your mind... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jun 11 - 11:59 PM So now you're the happy WANDerer. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 25 Jun 11 - 11:25 PM I saw Eiseley today and she returned my Silver Wand. No longer am I subject to lycanthrohydrophobia, as my silver wand protects me from rabid werewolves (loup-garous rabiques to our Cajun friends, Northern Neighbors and folks south of Paris). |
