Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 03 Nov 18 - 11:27 AM I'm all for Musketeers of any stamp. Bathos, not so much, but at least it can sometimes be blamed on some catastrophe or the disruption caused by one misguided That's why Mom keeps going. Sooner or later her >58,000 bits of flawless literary production will be released on the world and cause an intellectual revolution not seen on Earth since the Enlightenment, or Luther's Ninety-five Theses, or the day Llewellyn W. Thudpucker left his native home. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 03 Nov 18 - 10:40 AM Don, if the berries are magenta, they're American Beautyberry. If they're blue, they're Chinese Sapphire Berry. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 03 Nov 18 - 09:51 AM Hey I've got beauty berries but they are more vine like than shrubs. I was told they are Chinese sapphire berries. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Nov 18 - 09:36 AM What is the point? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 02 Nov 18 - 10:43 PM Or of Athos, Aramis, or Porthos, for that matter? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 02 Nov 18 - 09:39 PM Amos, what is your opinion on bathos? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 02 Nov 18 - 06:06 PM I'm not sure it's possible to execute a lantana short of totally uprooting it. I call what I do to my lantanas and American Beautyberries "dead-heading with extreme prejudice". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Nov 18 - 05:20 PM The book went into a new printing after that video went viral. I executed a lantana hedge in my back yard this afternoon. This is a suitable activity for a fall day. What isn't suitable are the xmas commercials that are turning up NOW on television. And the ornaments and holiday music-playing displays in the stores. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 02 Nov 18 - 05:17 PM Pathos is NOT funny. No, it's not! Of all the things that are funny in the world, pathos comes in a begrudging last. Apathy and pathos, man. They oughta be taken out and shot, or at least trained. I've spent too much time fielding raucous noises on FB, and the pathetic inability to see, think, communicate or understand that infests those rivers of babble are just NOT funny. No, they are NOT. I am telling Mom. She'll tell 'em what for. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 02 Nov 18 - 10:27 AM I attended the Rap Seminar on advanced bullshitting. Did you know he was behind the whole Beanie Baby craze? A good leg will fall; a straight back will stoop; a black beard will turn white; a full scalp will grow bald; a fair face will wither; a full eye will wax hollow: but a good Bull Shit is the sun and the earth. 'his credo' |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Nov 18 - 09:46 AM That's a show stopper! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 01 Nov 18 - 09:43 PM My wife who quilts discovered a stain proof fabric so sensually smooth it has inspired a new xmas product. After a few versions I call it the grab bag pussy purse. It is way better than the pussy hats. Many women love idea of leaving their pussy at home while they go about their business and if they have any need of their pussy they just go home and take it out of the drawer. It comes in numerous sizes; camel toe (large) vertical smile (medium) and cutie pie (small). They come in 4 colors and a selection of optional trim or just go naked - for that shaved look. They can be thrown in the wash or for very old ones can be dry cleaned. Its a delight to hear them snap open and shut. Target passed but Walmart likes them. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Nov 18 - 09:27 PM I just listened to it, Gary. Good song. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 01 Nov 18 - 07:44 PM Why ain't LEJ in MOAB? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 01 Nov 18 - 06:31 PM The voice is as friendly and familiar as family and the song is tiptop shelf. It brought me back 50 years. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 01 Nov 18 - 05:02 PM First inscription was : From the get-go you have been there for me, for us, for the forest, for the earth. All my best, Charles. The inscription on the numbered copy : Keep fighting the good fight Gary. All my best, Charles. If you are on Facebook and want to understand what is happening (horribly) in our forests, search "NB Forestry Information". Read the 'about'. Same goes for "Frack". I wrote this song for Charles about five years ago. LEJ did the honours for me (some of you know I lost my ability to play and sing a while back). Please read the first comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaHWhdfn5zY |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 01 Nov 18 - 11:50 AM Chief among the "deplorables" of the world, with the Chongo cluster following close second. BTW, whatever happened to Cletus the Hamster? Or is he the explanation for the stench in the basement, stuck behind the wallboarding and rotting? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Nov 18 - 11:34 AM You dare to refer to the McBrides as "worthless"???? Oh, "Yer in trouble now, eh?" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 01 Nov 18 - 10:19 AM The Wikipedia page for "McBride" links to pages for seven place names, two business enterprises, and three fictional characters (of whom Shane is NOT one). There are no pages for any living McBrides! I interpret this as an indication of the overall worthlessness of members of the McBride clan in general. The towns called "McBride" were probably so named as warnings that travelers passing through should take extra precautions to safeguard their valuables. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 31 Oct 18 - 09:09 PM Sounds like you spotted signs of the McBride clan on your trip, Rap. I hope you got photos. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 31 Oct 18 - 07:37 PM We were driving through the small town of Myopic River, Oregon when I saw a store called "McBride's Insulation." The sign on the door read, "Shane McBride, Owner/Foundered [sic] 1926." The rust-decorated pickup out front had bumper stickers with such things as "Gas-Grass-Ass/Nobody Rides Free", "CALL ME! 1-800-BIG-STUD", and "We Have No Shame Here" on them. I have no idea what it was all about; the town was only 423 people according to the sign at the town line. I cannot conceive of THE Shame's relatives crossing the plains in a wagon or coming by boat except as stowaways or surviving the vigilantes if they did make it. In another town there was a historical marker for "Rutledge's Hotel." Apparently it was a rooming house for working women and was run by a woman from England. It closed in 1957. I think that was in Malchance. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 31 Oct 18 - 07:08 PM I was startin t'worry. With the caravans of MS 13, Small Pox, Leprosy and all. I've had pre existing renditions. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: keberoxu Date: 31 Oct 18 - 06:41 PM Talking of Blind River, I was driving near the Providence Rhode Island airport yesterday, that would be West Warwick rather than Providence as such, and went past a storefront with a big sign that read SHANE'S AWARDS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 31 Oct 18 - 06:07 PM Truly, if the need to purchase a new car should arise again during my lifetime, I shall make it a point to consider the sound produced by opening the door with the remote fob as part of my prepurchase evaluation. Randolph Scott would never have owned a car that went "plip" when its door was unlocked. It harkens back to the complaint I had with telephones back in the landline days. There was no way to hear their ringtones before buying. It was only when the first call came in that you discovered you had purchased something that sounded like an anemic cricket with laryngitis. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 31 Oct 18 - 05:16 PM And those sodden good for nothings outta Blind River remember you and yearn for their revenge because you won the heart of Officer Cupcake, when they wanted it. As for plipping and chunking, Sir WL, that is entirely too much information. Chunk your own if you have to but keep it to yourself! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Oct 18 - 10:18 PM Chongo remembers you! Not fondly, perhaps, but he does remember you. Kind of like how I remember that really bad toothache I had back in 1958. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 30 Oct 18 - 09:31 PM Ignored. Unrecognized. I explore the mighty Columbia River and do many other deeds both thrilling and courageous and am yet ignored. I'd leap off the bridge and end it all in the Portneuf River except that it ain't all that deep and I might sprain an ankle and could even get my socks wet. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 30 Oct 18 - 09:01 AM Once there was a MOABite famous, Quite famous for deeds, for singing and rhyme, Quiet and shy, and quite a bit humble, He quietly screamed, " I'M BACK!!!! and about time!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Oct 18 - 06:47 PM I heard "Gary" and a few words I knew, and recognize "roman." Like he said in the text below, "ce roman est pour vous!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Oct 18 - 03:41 PM It was the sound hoofbeats, Hoofbeats on the cobbled street Ringing ever louder That made the bold Rapaire retreat. He'd heard the deaths of bandits Of bandits drawn and quartered Often glorified in song ANd he nearly lost his water. He put up his sword and pistol An old pistol,black and long And he headed for the basement stairs And dragged his Mom along. They quailed down in that basement The moldy basement, dank and cold Flinching from those hoofbeats And feeling frail, and old. So ends the glorious story Highwayman's story, rich with lies Hiding in a dingy basement From hoofbeats which never quite go by. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: keberoxu Date: 29 Oct 18 - 01:15 PM Come on upstairs, MOM, the basement is no place for you to hang about in. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: gnu Date: 27 Oct 18 - 05:59 PM Got a second copy of the English version from one of my heroes, Charles Theriault. Unexpected. Numbered. #2. He sent me #2!!! Brought tears to my eyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8dfBDRzpdI |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Oct 18 - 03:20 PM Hi, Mom! I thought of something brilliant and compelling to post here earlier today, but I got busy with other things and totally forgot what it was. So, I'll just post something else (using Mom's privileged private posting protocol): "Something Else" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 27 Oct 18 - 12:52 PM I was last in line when they dispensed smart So in consolation I was given a talent to see beyond and around corners Now there is nothing left to warn about and my talent is worn out The future will be read as history and the warnings are a waste. All good things must end and the gifts will be swallowed by rifts. As more move from aspiational to operational friends will be set adrift It was not the best way to touch lives but it was my way. The time to go has now arrived I told you so now I must go away. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: keberoxu Date: 27 Oct 18 - 12:17 PM Glad to see Amos feeling so much more like his old self. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 26 Oct 18 - 10:34 PM Said Rapparree to his better half My life is just a constant gaff Whether I post north or south, My foot ends up within my mouth! I post on Facebook, though it's lame But the result is still the same! Oh, what will make these posts behave And bring me the glory that I crave!? Said his BEtter Half to Rapparree Dear lad, it's simple as can be To save your name from posts that fall 'is better not to post at all! Then none will know, when round they come If you are wise or you are dumb! They won't know what to make of you If you desist from dropping clues. And so, dear man, I'll tell you what Just keep your mouth and your keyboard shut! And everyone will soon agree "That Rapp's as smart as smart can be". Just take this wise advice from me And none with you will disagree! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: keberoxu Date: 26 Oct 18 - 07:23 PM And again. Rapparee and his better half need their vacation after all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: keberoxu Date: 24 Oct 18 - 06:22 PM Easing MOM to the top of the queue again. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 23 Oct 18 - 10:43 PM WHere would Mom be without her Guardian Angel? :D I just did another well-received Open Mic poetry gig and a song performance. Lo and behold, some old timer in the back asked for "The Golden Vanity", and of course he was immediately obliged. Now I am going to retire AGAIN, which gets tedious but seems to be a regular requirement of this vie en viand. Life in Meat Alley. An Uber driver for the brain of a seeing-eye dog or something. :D Blessings on Mom and all her ilk and kith! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 Oct 18 - 09:54 PM The musical notes are there now. You accidentally posted that in the Jane's Rainbow thread (Confusing the heck out of them!). I sent that one (with the notes in view) over here and tossed the question mark version. :) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 23 Oct 18 - 08:00 PM I came in 4th place at cross country bowling. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 23 Oct 18 - 07:28 PM Mom! Why did my musical notes get turned into question marks? They were musical notes in "preview". No question about it. |
|
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 23 Oct 18 - 06:47 PM ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫ When Mom's down and troubled And she needs a helping hand... ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫ Wait a minute! I don't do that song. In fact, I don't even like that song. Just drag your ass up, Mom! You want serenading? Ask someone else. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 21 Oct 18 - 03:31 PM Idea for a new sport: Extreme Multi-tasking Participants would perform two difficult and seemingly incompatible tasks like playing a Bach fugue while baking a pineapple-upside-down cake. Scores would be based on the relative difficulties of the individual tasks, the degree to which the two tasks interfere with each other, and the participants' ability to speak in coherent sentences upon completion of the tasks. I can see the potential for entire cable television networks dedicated to it, to say nothing of the surefire Olympic medals to be won by device-addicted Millenials. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Donuel Date: 21 Oct 18 - 02:27 PM Some believe that when gluons pair up they develop a reverse momentum of PULL. Which we call gravity |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Oct 18 - 12:33 PM However, calculating the precise internal properties of pions and other hadrons is extremely difficult and so physicists have not had a good understanding of the contributions of gluons to pion momenta. We understand the contribution of Gluon to "pion momenta," though it's usually expressed as "pee on" and usually happens quickly (momenta) on the carpet. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 21 Oct 18 - 10:58 AM And Gluon manages to contribute that 30% to the momentum of pions while not taking a break from humping Rap's leg! Add multi-tasking to the ever-growing list of the cosmic duckdog's multifarious talents! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 21 Oct 18 - 10:00 AM Aha! It is JUST as I always suspected! Gluons account for much more pion momentum than previously thought. |
