Just in case anyone is wondering about El Pope's Spanish, here's the translation:

The guest Martin Gibson, You are as useless as teats in a bull. All know that Marty announces under its own name. It has the balls that do not do it.

i agree with Brucie. why do people have to insult someone's wife?

Believe it or not, I do draw the line. Using a fake name or a handle seems to be what most do here. I would never use my real name in this or in any forum as Don Firth does. Good or bad, why would anyone want to expose their real self to the world as someone who even remotely associates with all of this quirkiness.

Don, I've not done it, but wouldn't it make you feel weird if someone did a Google or Yahoo search on your name and it took someone here to Mudcat or wherever else you post and everyone saw all of YOUR very real self co-habitating with many usual Internet varmints?

How about ignoring that sort of post completely. If there was no reaction at all there is a possibility that the person in question would give up and find another forum to bother. It is rather frustrating tryng to follow what could be an interesting discussion only to have it spoilt by this type of thing.

The problem is that there are some people (and I use that term with reservations) who hide behind anonymity, or an equally anonymous "handle," and say things that, were they to make such remarks to someone in person, the next thing they'd be doing is crawling around on the floor looking for their teeth.

That kind of anonymity brings out the true nature of some people (once again, the term with reservations):   foul-minded, foul-mouthed bullies who are much too cowardly to face the consequences of their utterances, so they make them anonymously in places like this. It's obvious that these—well—people (although I really hesitate to classify them has human beings) have managed to find their level. Right about crotch height.

The Mudcat seems to have become infested lately with some particularly nasty parasites.

As to the thread, I must admit that Freda Underhill gets me POed. She never loses her cool, is always thoughtful, has a great sense of humour, considers what she writes and its effect/affect on people, and it pisses me off that people can be so level-headed. They don't write 'em like that anymore.

One essential for a "good insulter" would be the ability to nose out some characteristic of the person being insulted, preferably one about which they feel a bit insecure, and use that as the basis for the insult, rather than just throwing out random off-the-shelf abuse. If an insult isn't in some way accurate, it's got no real force.

So, for exmple, to get back to the playground, there'd be no sense in calling someone who didn't wear glasses "old four-eyes".

Being a "good insulter" isn't something of which I'd pride myself.

But remember "Martin Gibson" is a fictitious character, who has only been in existence since December 2002. So that kind of playground stuff is pretty advanced for someone of that age, even if he'd hardly qualify as being a "good insulter".

Just making a lateral enquiry here... is Charles Shaw the only manufacturer of wine available in the US or is it just because it's the most recogisable/ popular or something?

(I mean, there are many, many, different, fantastic Californian winemakers products available here in UK .. is all/most US wine exported?)

Just curious ...
Keen on Merlot too :)

Don, Have no idea what a Lutheran is either. Was it started by Lex Luther? Or Luther Van Dross. Wait, I think it was Luther Perkins, who was Johnny Cash's original boom-chucka-boom guitarist.

They don't teach that story in any of the religious schools I've been affiliated with.

Jeeze, Marty, I've known the story about Rabbi Loew and the Golem for years, and I'm a Lutheran.

Sweet wine!?? Fruity in nose and flavor, yes, but sweet??

Yeah, Doug, I don't think I've had a drink of hard liquor for years (other than a dram of Drambuie from time to time, and an occasional beer on a hot afternoon, which is nowhere near hard liquor). Barbara and I have a glass from the stock of Charles Shaw that we keep on hand maybe two or three times a week with dinner and, of course, when we have guests. A moderate amount of red wine is supposed to Roto-Rooter the plaque out of one's veins and arteries. At last!! Something you enjoy that's actually good for you!

We like a fairly wide variety, but the Merlot is excellent.

Don: no doubt about it in my opinion. Until my step-daughter introduced me to Charles Shaw I was a confirmed Vodka drinker. On the rocks with a splash of water. The night I tasted Charles Shaw (Merlot is my preference)I stopped drinking Vodka or any other hard liquor (well a spot of Hennessee, neat, on rare occasions).

Billericay's National Champion

Billericay Scrabble Club member Bob Flack has become the British Mensa's national Scrabble Champion. An IQ of 159 and studying the clubs lists of highest scoring words from the clubs monthly newsletters helped put Bob into the finals. Bob was invincible, easily beating all the competition in a best out of three games fina         


LEFT IN THE DARK

Powerful storms hit Essex and left many residents of Billericay without power and telephones lines.

The county of Essex almost grinded to a halt as many roads were blocked by fallen trees and motorists were urged to stay at home unless their trips were absolutely necessary when 90mph winds battered the county. Ramsden Heath, and Billericay amongst other towns and villages were forced to use candle light and gas appliances, with many households not having power restored for days.

Actually in the light of "Martin Gibson" reminding people that the real person behind the curtain has virtually nothing in common with the "prson" who pops up here raging away in various directions, perhaps it's not so surprising.

So "Martin Gibson" presents as a middle-aged Jewish man living in Chicago, who might be expected to have heard the story of the Golem at some time. But for all we know the real person could be, for example, a Presbyterian granny living in Billericay, who very likely wouldn't have...

AHA, Doug!

We may not see eye to eye on things political, but when comes to wines, we are in complete agreement! My wife, Barbara, who often haunts our local Trader Joe's (actual, they have several stores in Seattle), discovered Charles Shaw wines and we've been buying it ever since, both for our own enjoyment and for when we entertain. Here's a pretty informative web site about it (BLICKY). I lift a glass and drink to your health.

Well, well, well. Judging from the posts above, Marty, you seem to be the primary off-pisser around here.

Commercial offering possible therapy follows:—

Follow Doug's recommendation and give Charles Shaw wines a try, Marty. They're sold exclusively at Trader Joe's, but there are Trader Joe's stores in Chicago. They are excellent, and startlingly inexpensive, considering how good they are. Apparently there is nothing about them that is inconsistent with kosher laws, because I have a number of Jewish friends and acquaintances (sophisticated, well-educated, and cosmopolitan, all) who are also very fond of them. One friend (who hosted frequent song-fests in his home for years and, although he is gone now, his wife continues to do so) said once that he will not have Mogen David in the house. He told me that he drank it when he was younger and didn't know any better. According to him, it tastes like grape flavored syrup.

Now, don't say that Doug and I never did anything for you, Marty. Enjoy. Mellow out a little.
