Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 08 - 05:36 PM Let me preface the following by saying I think this is a very bad idea. "Anaesthetic drugs might soon be used to numb a different sort of pain - flushing out harrowing memories before they take hold and post-traumatic stress disorder develops. The advance stems from the discovery that low doses of anaesthetics can block the formation of memories associated with emotive images". I do not think burying pain harder, either chemically or psychically, is the right way to recover from it. The experience is not going to go away because of anaesthesia, is my guess. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Mar 08 - 06:09 PM No. My pain is mine, I have to live with it. It's part of what made me me. You can't have it, except to share it a little. And drugs of any sort CANNOT have it. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 08 - 06:43 PM YAAAYYY FOR RAPAIRE! I take back all the stupid things you ever said. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Mar 08 - 07:47 PM I wasn't making fun of Conrad, Stilly. I was making fun of H.P. Lovecraft. I have always imagined, by the way, that his initials stood for "Herbert Paisely"....which I think would have suited his old-maidish style of horror writing perfectly. |

Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Oh the wit was running low and cold, And the humor it was rare We was forced to stoke Mom's boiler up With a cheap line from Rapaire, poor boy, A cheap line from Rapaire. Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Now the galley was all out of chow, An' the crew was out of talk, So we scraped the bilge for some long lost rot Had been lost by Little Hawk, me boys Some rot from Little Hawk Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Oh the cook she was a buxom gal, Who was often prone to rage. And the only one who could talk her down, Was our Stilly River Sage, you know. 'Twas Stilly River Sage. Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Now we lost old Tweed in Buffalo And khandu in Port Rye. And we could not tell where BeeDubyaEll Had let his moorings fly, the sod, He had let his moorings fly. Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Well, the mule she is a surly cuss She won't eat corn or hay But I'll tell ya whut We will whip her butt 'Till we get to 23 Kay, me lads All the way to 23 Kay! Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Now I'm sorry things are looking slow, 'Cuz I'd rather run than creep, But if this is how it has tuh go, I'll just go and get some sleep, me lads, I'll go below and sleep. Oh, the MOAB she was running slow The BS, it was thin We was all reduced to two-word posts And we did not think we'd win, me lads We weren't sure we could win Hammacher Johnson de Long Songs from the Lardy Country Logbottom and Spittle, pubs.

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: MMario Date: 28 Mar 08 - 09:08 AM Eight inches of snow on my car this morning. That's wrong. very wrong. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Mar 08 - 09:11 AM You shouldn't have answered that spam ad that said, "You can have 8 inches!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 09:24 AM HE thought it meant column inches. MM, why not move to California? We had eight inches of bright sunshine falling in the night. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: MMario Date: 28 Mar 08 - 09:26 AM sunshine at night? I didn't think California was above the arctic circle... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 10:50 AM Well, you should think of such things, although we are not. It keeps the mind flexible and fit for adventure. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Mar 08 - 11:23 AM I'm into my second batch of daffodils now. I think we're due for rain, but the cold is over, though this doesn't rule out "chilly." We awoke to the smell of grass fires this morning, though I think they're not local, we're smelling burning grass in Mexico or way out in West Texas. Amazing how far the wind will blow that smoke and still have the strong smell. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 03:54 PM Odd--that's what some people used to call me, when I was in my strapping bloom. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 05:32 PM Love Craft, I mean... A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Mar 08 - 06:49 PM And how long ago was that? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 06:50 PM A few minutes.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Mar 08 - 06:58 PM Hmm. Well, that means you have begun the long and unavoidable decline, the slow slide into obsolescence. Like Pat Boone and Neil Diamond. Like Paul Anka. Like George Bush. But at least you can reflect on past glories and bask a bit in the remembrance. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 07:41 PM Sure!! When I catch up with you, we'll talk. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Mar 08 - 08:00 PM I thought they called you...oh, wait. That's what they called "Shane." Just never mind. I just remembered the name by which you were known from New Guinea to Nome. To keep it from those who might misunderstand, I'll put it here in The Secret Mudcat Code: Amos |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 08:09 PM Damn. Just keep it to yourself, pal. I have a reputation to remember. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 08 - 11:35 PM Well, g'night one and all. May the MOAB be with you and the Force keep you safe until we meet again. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Mar 08 - 11:57 PM Sleep tight, if that's where you're headed. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 08 - 11:48 AM Well, I did sleep tight and fel peachy today. I'm on the patch for a while still, until I finish thrashing my Nicotinic Daemans from the Dark Side of the Protoplasm. I have a lovely new car which gives me joy. We did the sound checks and trial video for the house concert with Andrew Calhoun next weekend, and I have reviewed the trust and healthcare directives and trust documents from the lawyer, and the amendments seem in order. I have completed an important transition in the novel, which gives me great satisfaction. I fixed BBW's electric heating pad, got through another twenty pages of Through Masai Land, a conceited but riveting tale of one of the first dozen English (well, Scots) explorers to penetrate the Masai country around Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro and survive to tell the tale, and BBW's fever has broken so it looks like she will be over her cold soon. Der liff is der gut. Ja??? A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Mar 08 - 01:05 PM Well, I got up. Now we're going out to buy me some tee shirts and some other stuff we need. Probably going to get a HUGE Visa bill in the mail, too. I set off the smoke detectors fixing breakfast, dropped a book in the bathroom in a rather spectacular fashion, dropped a sharp knife point down on the kitchen counter, and completed a pleasing transition from undressed to dressed. Even though they're still downstairs I haven't smoked a pipe since 1985; it's easy to give up smoking when a) you have pneumonia and b) your wife becomes VERY insistent about it. Ah well, off to the stores. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 08 - 01:42 PM Yeah, I quit when I had pneumonia, too... :D A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 08 - 06:08 PM But I will never quit our Mom!!! Never!!! You hear me, now!!! You gotcher ears on??? Nev.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Mar 08 - 07:15 PM Nice round number there, Amos. 22888. I just got in from a tour of a library unlike any other. A private library in Dallas. Whew! Our Friends of the Library rode over in buses, and as we left we had to go around the block to get lined up for a left turn--that "block" we went around had a lake and park and fountains in it, along with some very high dollar homes. I bought my lotto ticket for tonight on the way home. . . |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 08 - 07:31 PM If the numbers bring you untold wealth, for which you have my prayers, I want a round-trip ticket to your new port of call. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Mar 08 - 07:40 PM How would you like to be the first to our Capital Campaign? We'd name a bathroom or something after you. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 08 - 10:09 PM Hmmm.... I bite my tongue in your general direction, sir!! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Mar 08 - 10:21 PM Just picture it: The Amos Memorial Roof Insulation! The Little Hawk Memorial Low-Water-Use Urinal! The SRS Memorial Childrens' Room! Or...perhaps you'd like to donate in memory of someone else: The King Khandu Memorial Women's Room! The Bee-Dubya-Ell Memorial Air Conditioning Compressors! The Tweed Memorial Garage Door Opener! The possibilities are endless.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Mar 08 - 10:38 PM Well...good save, sir. A MOAB Wing would be nice...but, you'd have to figure out how to explain what it stood for or they'd wonder why it was in Pocatello. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Mar 08 - 10:56 PM I heard somewhere that Pocatello is the acne capital of the world. Is it true? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Mar 08 - 11:20 PM Absolutely! Pocatello has more and better acne than anywhere else in this solar sytem! We revel in it! What's acne? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 30 Mar 08 - 10:40 AM Ooo! Little Hawk!!! WAKE UP!!! You don't want to miss this!!!!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Mar 08 - 11:13 AM Hey Mom, today's the day I finally have to do something about the washer drain. I need to do some laundry. I'm starting with a small snake from the neighbor, and if that doesn't work, Home Depot, here I come. Stinky work. I'd rather be digging a new flower bed. :-/ |
