Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 30 Apr 10 - 12:48 AM The ducks were not in order and it was a sudden decision based upon health considerations (mine -- her father found out, there was some talk about "filling [my] hide full of lead" and something about being "jerked to Jesus"). I have been spending A LOT of time dealing with various bureaucracies, federal, state, and local as well as making certain mah shootin' ahrns are in good shape, no strangers are hanging around when I go out, stuff like that. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 30 Apr 10 - 12:44 AM Today a consortium meeting, tomorrow presenting at a state conference, then a symphony concert performance on Saturday. Life has gotten WAAAAY too busy since Rapaire left. I'm just glad he finally told MOM. I was worried I might spill the beans and then everyone would skid around as if on ball bearings. If it was up to me he'd still have his nose to the grindstone, using his enormous pencil to subdue the masses. Eiseley |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Apr 10 - 12:06 AM So you saved the news of retiring for a whole month? What were you thinking? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Apr 10 - 11:30 PM Shane says he will face you in a chug-a-lug contest ANY TIME. And he says that he will "deviastate" you and "leave you layin' on the floor in total flippin' defeat". |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Apr 10 - 11:23 PM Congratulations, Manne Once of Bookes. NOW what do we do with you? We'll have to revamp all our paradigms!! And you never told MOM!!! The sheer unspeakable viper's toothiness of it!! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Apr 10 - 10:41 PM And if that scum-hole Shame thinks that retiring means I'm old and decrepit, the other day I shot 50 out of 50 possible points, 10X (that means each round went into the tiniest inner circle of the target), not once but five times in succession. I'm teaching knife and stick fighting, as well as reviewing the local Marine Reserves in hand-to-hand combat. I probably couldn't outrun him though, since he's had so much practice in running away. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Apr 10 - 09:47 PM I know that I'm gonna quit. No, wait, I did quit. I retired March 24 but I didn't tell Mom because she would have made a cake and everything. Eiseley knew because I'm not her boss anymore and she has to go through life without a moral compass or direction, a waif wandering the wilderness of bibliographic wisdom. I really did. Retire, I mean. Now I'm busier than I was before I retired. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Apr 10 - 08:43 PM I use nothing else (at home, anyway). A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Apr 10 - 07:27 PM Playing with Safari this evening. I read the Jobs discussion of Adobe and decided to give this a whirl. It doesn't block my access to MOM, so so far, so good. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Apr 10 - 06:55 PM Since the medium is the massage (as McLuhan REALLY entitled his book), Mom has always been on television. Also radio, heliograph, telegraph, printed media, manuscripts, cuneiform, graffiti, smoke signals, chiseled into stone, painted on walls, in the spoken word.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Apr 10 - 05:58 PM Hey!! Mom's on TELEVISION!! (Ignore the ad) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Apr 10 - 03:20 PM I suggest we use good, solid, native words, words that are here legally and have a better pedigree than English. Words like wowawah, daabida, and pêhéve'ót. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Apr 10 - 02:35 PM Depends on which use of the word you are looking at. It varies with context, much as any overworked, underpaid word does. THe ones you REALLY want to watch out for are the words that are in the country illegally, having snuck in from other countries, like "rights", "justice"...things like that. Damn Europeans. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: MMario Date: 29 Apr 10 - 11:03 AM Stilly quoted Kinky as saying " I'm an old school, independent Democrat." and also "I'm for efficient government, government that works for the people" Aren't these two statements mutually exclusive? As far as I can tell most of my life "democrat" has equaled "more government; more spending, less decisions in the hands of the people" |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 29 Apr 10 - 10:16 AM Oh, Mom! What AM I going to do with you? Down at the bottom again, and covered with random traces of marmite! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 29 Apr 10 - 12:05 AM I like Kinky. At least he speaks plainly. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Apr 10 - 10:05 PM MOM wants to know if you read Kinky's latest essay?
Indeed, the Democrats and the Republicans have become the bullies of the playground. They amply fulfill my definition of politics: poly means more than one, and ticks are blood-sucking parasites. Click here, y'all |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Apr 10 - 09:05 PM No, that's the neighbor's house that has the permanent red light in front. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Apr 10 - 07:10 PM ...or Pocatello, where the one traffic light is right outside Rapaire's place and is gone haywire--it never changes from red. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Apr 10 - 06:03 PM Well, I was starting to believe that San Diego had become one of those one-traffic light towns like LA or Mendon. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 28 Apr 10 - 04:16 PM Yea, verily yea! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Apr 10 - 04:15 PM Those adjectives, nouns and verbs. They'll get you every time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Apr 10 - 03:54 PM Sorry for being unclear to you, sir--I thought you had graduated English 101. To re-phrase at your proper reading level: "The sky is blue. The breezes are gentle. The birds are Hope this helps. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Apr 10 - 03:09 PM It's CALLED a "traffic light", Amos. It's that red-yellow-green thing at intersections. You should specify which traffic light you mean. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 28 Apr 10 - 01:30 PM We had a sprinkle this morning, too--but it was liquid and clear, and not very hard; now the sun is out and the sky is blue, the breezes gentle, the birds deliriously busy, the traffic light and the roads good. A |

|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: MMario Date: 28 Apr 10 - 11:01 AM Your point? I believe you live north of where I live, and it ain't unusual for us to have snow in may. Our frost free date is the END of May. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Eiseley Date: 28 Apr 10 - 10:57 AM On the way up the trail to school, Will and I ate snow off of the sagebrush bushes. Then there was a VW bug whose snow had slipped down and it looked like the folds of a marble curtain hanging over the engine area. So we had a walk full of deliciousness and beauty! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 28 Apr 10 - 10:51 AM It s****d last night. Not a lot, but it s****d. And s**w is a chance every day through the weekend. It's nearly MAY, ferchrissakes! S**w! |

|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 11:37 PM Well, your imagination of Little Hawk's imaginary character isn't necessarily true, is it? You could have got it wrong in some way. I mean it could happen! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Apr 10 - 11:15 PM Shame isn't gruesome, nor is he disgusting. He's actually both, as well as being a (fortunately dead-ended) pollution and corruption of the human gene pool. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Apr 10 - 11:09 PM Is it only Tuesday? Darn. I took a nap and dreamed it was Friday already. Bummer |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 10:54 PM If there is a conflict between your gruesome depiction of Shane and Little Hwk's disgusting one, which one should we believe in? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Apr 10 - 02:34 PM You know, Shame is also bald. Completely bald, if you follow me, due to an accident he had while playing with a sledge hammer and a tree stump when he was young. What everyone thinks is hair is really dirt, corn and wheat smut, and various bodily excretions. He also sings (if you can call it that) a very high soprano. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 01:26 PM As we kept our Mother up by posting! Three Five and Three |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 01:25 PM And the Three-Five-Three was but two away... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 01:24 PM Oh it was a fair and a pleasant day Out of San Diego I was coasting... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 01:09 PM Shanes sense of humor is subtle and nuanced, with a delicate, pervasive energy. It kind of grows on you, like a metastasizing carcinoma, if you know what I mean. A |

I have hair to, like, die for, eh? But Don is bald on top! Bald on top! Bald on top! He whweres a flippin' baseball cap to hide it but everybuddy knows! Ha! Ha! Ha! - Shane |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 27 Apr 10 - 12:54 PM I always did say there's no Conn like an old Conn. And no Conn man like an old Conn man. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Blind DRunk in Blind River Date: 27 Apr 10 - 12:50 PM Peeple who are cool do not play the flippin' trumpet! Trust me. If I was to shew you flipheads all the mega-flippin' tallentes I have and my sphechule abyllit...aybelli...the things I can do...if I was to flippin' do THAT then youse would all just stand their with yer mouths hangin' opne in flippin' astunnishment!

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Eiseley Date: 27 Apr 10 - 12:48 PM Yep. Yamaha, one previous owner, not too many dents. I haven't examined it closely enough to find a year. Here are some historic horns. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Apr 10 - 12:37 PM My trumpet was made by the C. G. Conn Company in 1929. I'll bet Tom's is newer. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Eiseley Date: 27 Apr 10 - 12:21 PM Ha ha. My typing can blare out in more decibels, too when I type the html codes in backwards! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: GUEST,Eiseley Date: 27 Apr 10 - 11:00 AM Tom plays the trumpet because it's the loudest instrument available through the school. His singing voice is fine, but trumpets can blare out more decibels. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 27 Apr 10 - 10:44 AM Does Tom play trumpet so he can't sing? That's why my mother forced me to learn the Divine Instrument, the Instrument of God Almighty, the One Most Pleasing To Her Or Him. |
