From: Peace Peekabo, I Almost See You by Ogden Nash Middle-aged life is merry, and I love to lead it, But there comes a day when your eyes are all right but your arm isn't long enough to hold the telephone book where you can read it, And your friends get jocular, so you go to the oculist, And of all your friends he is the joculist, So over his facetiousness let us skim, Only noting that he has been waiting for you ever since you said Good evening to his grandfather clock under the impression that it was him, And you look at his chart and it says SHRDLU QWERTYOP, and you say Well, why SHRDNTLU QWERTYOP? and he says one set of glasses won't do. You need two. One for reading Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason and Keats's "Endymion" with, And the other for walking around without saying Hello to strange wymion with. So you spend your time taking off your seeing glasses to put on your reading glasses, and then remembering that your reading glasses are upstairs or in the car, And then you can't find your seeing glasses again because without them on you can't see where they are. Enough of such mishaps, they would try the patience of an ox, I prefer to forget both pairs of glasses and pass my declining years saluting strange women and grandfather clocks. |

18 Jun 07 - 09:48 PM (#2080620) Subject: RE: . From: Bill D Ancestral habits and a very early tradition have led us to preserve, as the unit of time, a unit connected with the earth's movement; and the unit to-day adopted is, as we know, the sexagesimal second of mean time. This magnitude, thus defined by the conditions of a natural motion which may itself be modified, does not seem to offer all the guarantees desirable from the point of view of invariability. It is certain that all the friction exercised on the earth--by the tides, for instance--must slowly lengthen the duration of the day, and must influence the movement of the earth round the sun. Such influence is certainly very slight, but it nevertheless gives an unfortunately arbitrary character to the unit adopted. .....and not only that, it takes a hell of a big dog to weigh a ton! what was the question, again? |

20 Jun 07 - 04:42 AM (#2081902) Subject: RE: . From: the lemonade lady The Final Proof: Global Warming is a Man-Made DisasterThe Final Proof: Global Warming is a Man-Made Disaster. by Steve Connor. Scientists have found the first unequivocal link between man-made greenhouse gases ... The first of the three Milankovitch Cycles is the Earth's eccentricity. Eccentricity is, simply, the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This constantly fluctuating, orbital shape ranges between more and less elliptical (0 to 5% ellipticity) on a cycle of about 100,000 years. These oscillations, from more elliptic to less elliptic, are of prime importance to glaciation in that it alters the distance from the Earth to the Sun, thus changing the distance the Sun's short wave radiation must travel to reach Earth, subsequently reducing or increasing the amount of radiation received at the Earth's surface in different seasons. let's suppose man knows best, and the earth is warming at an exagerated rate (well, except for the southern hemisphere which rather negates the concept of "global warming"), and instituting laws and regulations limiting people's freedoms is the best for all of humanity (like the Kyoto protocols adopted by Europe which has seen a marked increase in green house gasses, or GHG's, since ratification, while the U.S. has managed to reduce GHG's without instituting Kyoto), and producing dubious studies,designed to make us believe that paying taxes feels as good mentally as getting laid, preparing the mindless masses for huge tax increases in order to save mankind from our own foolish, global warming ways. Let's all jump on the global warming bandwagon and step up to the tectonic plate, so to speak, and put our money where our mouth is. Tax it all. Which is nonsense? Sal |

From: Rapparee That night your great guns, unawares, Shook all our coffins as we lay, And broke the chancel window-squares, We thought it was the Judgement-day And sat upright.

Till God cried, "No; It's gunnery practice out at sea Just as before you went below; The world is as it used to be: "All nations striving strong to make Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters They do no more for Christés sake Than you who are helpless in such matters.

It will be warmer when I blow the trumpet (if indeed I ever do; for you are men, And rest eternal sorely need)." So down we lay again. "I wonder, Will the world ever saner be," Said one, "than when He sent us under In our indifferent century!" And many a skeleton shook his head. "Instead of preaching forty year," My neighbour Parson Thirdly said, "I wish I had stuck to pipes and beer." Again the guns disturbed the hour, Roaring their readiness to avenge, As far inland as Stourton Tower, And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge. |

His parents never more can see him In this world of grief and pain, And Oh! they will not forget him While on earth they do remain. On one bright and pleasant morning His uncle thought it would be nice To take his dear little nephew Down to play upon a raft, Where he was to work upon it, An this little child would company be -- The raft the water rushed around it, Yet he the danger did not see. This little child knew no danger -- Its little soul was free from sin -- He was looking in the water, When, alas, this child fell in. Beneath the raft the water took him, For the current was so strong, And before they could rescue him He was drowned and was gone. Oh! how sad were his kind parents When they saw their drowned child, As they brought him from the water, It almost made their hearts grow wild. Oh! how mournful was the parting From that little infant son. Friends, I pray you, all take warning, Be careful of your little ones. |

From: JennyO I had a friend who was divorced and had had a number of 'interesting' relationships with men she had met, including one she had been involved with for a couple of years, and who had been helping her renovate her house. He rang one day to say he just had to 'jump in the shower' and then he'd be over - and she never heard from him again. She decided to write a book based on her assorted bizarre experiences, and was going to call it "Love in the Middle Ages". I haven't seen her for a while, so I don't know if she ever wrote it. |

There have been several BNP threads on Mudcat, and they have all ended in acrimony, so that's possibly why your previous posts were deleted. Also can't see what good signing a petition will do, when did the authorities ever take any notice of petitions? Giok |

14 Jul 07 - 12:42 PM (#2102490) Subject: RE: . From: Jeri Guest, you're right - wrong place. If a local newspaper wants input from local people, a load of opinions from folks from all over the globe who heard about it on a USA based website and want to butt in aren't going to actually make the poll less effective. In fact, outsourcing the voting will likely make the opposition look weak and desperate. I think the posts were likely deleted because of what Giok said. A thread about the BNP is an instant flame war. |

And there aren't enough mean-ees left anymore sometimes to form a strong union--a bad thing in a Republican administration. But, as usual, I digress...... |

If it had meant anything to me, I should have saved it for someone to whom it was important, who could have posted and still written it off as a meaningless act and therefore felt self justification. Infact, whoever made the meaningless claim on #400 can go ahead and claim it if it really means that much to you. But these are not The Days Of '49 and the only claim jumpers that ever get dealt with in the old fashioned manner in here steal copyrights, so I will leave this post in the Public Domain and any prospective prospector who wants to can tie their horse or mule to it. If there's more than one claimant, than the two of you can find a way to take your pick or your shovel and take your pick (or else your shovel, take your pick....or else take.....Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, YOU guys figure it out, maybe at ten paces). And be careful! Those things are sharp and can cause some damaage! Do you realize what a pick will do to, say, a nose or your teeth when shovel come to push? |

16 Jul 07 - 09:07 AM (#2104114) Subject: RE: . From: Rapparee I'd tell you some of the jokes of the tombstone-making and gravedigging trades, but you'd think I was a REAL sicko. Instead, I offer this touching poem: The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill Robert W. Service I took a contract to bury the body Of blasphemous Bill MacKie, Whenever, wherever or whatsoever The manner of death he die -- Whether he die in the light o' day Or under the peak-faced moon; In cabin or dance-hall, camp or dive, Mucklucks or patent shoon; On velvet tundra or virgin peak, By glacier, drift or draw; In muskeg hollow or canyon gloom, By avalanche, fang or claw; By battle, murder or sudden wealth, By pestilence, hooch or lead -- I swore on the Book I would follow and look Till I found my tombless dead. For Bill was a dainty kind of cuss, And his mind was mighty sot On a dinky patch with flowers and grass In a civilized bone-yard lot. And where he died or how he died, It didn't matter a damn So long as he had a grave with frills And a tombstone "epigram". So I promised him, and he paid the price In good cheechako coin (Which the same I blowed in that very night Down in the Tenderloin). Then I painted a three-foot slab of pine: "Here lies poor Bill MacKie", And I hung it up on my cabin wall And I waited for Bill to die. Years passed away, and at last one day Came a squaw with a story strange, Of a long-deserted line of traps 'Way back of the Bighorn range; Of a little hut by the great divide, And a white man stiff and still, Lying there by his lonesome self, And I figured it must be Bill. So I thought of the contract I'd made with him, And I took down from the shelf The swell black box with the silver plate He'd picked out for hisself; And I packed it full of grub and "hooch", And I slung it on the sleigh; Then I harnessed up my team of dogs And was off at dawn of day. You know what it's like in the Yukon wild When it's sixty-nine below; When the ice-worms wriggle their purple heads Through the crust of the pale blue snow; When the pine-trees crack like little guns In the silence of the wood, And the icicles hang down like tusks Under the parka hood; When the stove-pipe smoke breaks sudden off, And the sky is weirdly lit, And the careless feel of a bit of steel Burns like a red-hot spit; When the mercury is a frozen ball, And the frost-fiend stalks to kill -- Well, it was just like that that day when I Set out to look for Bill. Oh, the awful hush that seemed to crush Me down on every hand, As I blundered blind with a trail to find Through that blank and bitter land; Half dazed, half crazed in the winter wild, With its grim heart-breaking woes, And the ruthless strife for a grip on life That only the sourdough knows! North by the compass, North I pressed; River and peak and plain Passed like a dream I slept to lose And I waked to dream again. River and plain and mighty peak -- And who could stand unawed? As their summits blazed, he could stand undazed At the foot of the throne of God. North, aye, North, through a land accurst, Shunned by the scouring brutes, And all I heard was my own harsh word And the whine of the malamutes, Till at last I came to a cabin squat, Built in the side of a hill, And I burst in the door, and there on the floor, Frozen to death, lay Bill. Ice, white ice, like a winding-sheet, Sheathing each smoke-grimed wall; Ice on the stove-pipe, ice on the bed, Ice gleaming over all; Sparkling ice on the dead man's chest, Glittering ice in his hair, Ice on his fingers, ice in his heart, Ice in his glassy stare; Hard as a log and trussed like a frog, With his arms and legs outspread. I gazed at the coffin I'd brought for him, And I gazed at the gruesome dead, And at last I spoke: "Bill liked his joke; But still, goldarn his eyes, A man had ought to consider his mates In the way he goes and dies." Have you ever stood in an Arctic hut In the shadow of the Pole, With a little coffin six by three And a grief you can't control? Have you ever sat by a frozen corpse That looks at you with a grin, And that seems to say: "You may try all day, But you'll never jam me in"? I'm not a man of the quitting kind, But I never felt so blue As I sat there gazing at that stiff And studying what I'd do. Then I rose and I kicked off the husky dogs That were nosing round about, And I lit a roaring fire in the stove, And I started to thaw Bill out. Well, I thawed and thawed for thirteen days, But it didn't seem no good; His arms and legs stuck out like pegs, As if they was made of wood. Till at last I said: "It ain't no use -- He's froze too hard to thaw; He's obstinate, and he won't lie straight, So I guess I got to -- saw." So I sawed off poor Bill's arms and legs, And I laid him snug and straight In the little coffin he picked hisself, With the dinky silver plate; And I came nigh near to shedding a tear As I nailed him safely down; Then I stowed him away in my Yukon sleigh, And I started back to town. So I buried him as the contract was In a narrow grave and deep, And there he's waiting the Great Clean-up, When the Judgment sluice-heads sweep; And I smoke my pipe and I meditate In the light of the Midnight Sun, And sometimes I wonder if they was, The awful things I done. And as I sit and the parson talks, Expounding of the Law, I often think of poor old Bill -- And how hard he was to saw. |

16 Jul 07 - 03:22 PM (#2104466) Subject: RE: . From: Rapparee As my good ol' buddy Gus once said, "Ego iam errorem puto, quam antea veritatem putabam: utrum recte existimem, a te praesente audire cupio. In. primis summum errorem puto, omnipotentem Deum, in quo una nobis spes est, ex aliqua parte violabilem, aut coinquinabilem, aut corruptibilem credere. Hoc vestram haeresim affirmare scio; non quidem verbis. quibus nunc usus sum: nam et vos interrogati confitemini Deum esse incorruptibilem et omnino. inviolabilem et incoinquinabilem; sed cum coeperitis caetera exponere, cogimini eum corruptibilem, penetrabilem, et coinquinabilem profiteri. Dicitis enim aliam nescio quam gentem tenebrarum adversus Dei regnum rebellasse: Deum autem omnipotentem, cum videret quanta labes et vastitas immineret regnis suis, nisi aliquid adversae genti opponeret, et ei resisteret, misisse hanc virtutem, de cuius commixtione cum malo et tenebrarum gente mundus sit fabricatus. Hinc esse quod hic animae bonae laborant, serviunt, errant, corrumpuntur: ut necessarium haberent liberatorem, qui eas ab errore purgaret, et a commixtione solveret, et a servitute liberaret. Hoc ego nefas puto credere, Deum omnipotentem aliquam adversam gentem timuisse, aut necessitatem esse passum, ut nos in aerumnas praecipitaret." Ain't it the truth, though? Ain't it the bloody truth! |

After Buffy got out on the plains he nailed several vampires, which is how he got the name Buffy the Vampire Nailer. Yah see, his last name was Bill and his first name was Buffalo 'cuz he wuz named after the city in New York. His daddy was named Wild, Wild Bill. An' I wouldn't lie none about any of that. Specially about the Earp boys. They wuz pure trouble: Burp, Urp, Purp, and Wyatt. He was the youngest. Never could shoot worth anything, so 'most every day he'd lose fiver er ten dollars to Buffy. Buffy couldn't shoot either, but he could do it better'n Wyatt. We'd put 'em inside a barn and bet who which one could hit it inside of a hunert shots. |

Remembering what the general had said, he lined up his troop and ordered: "Everyone whose mother is alive, please take one step forward - NOT SO FAST, MILLER!" |

21 Jul 07 - 09:08 PM (#2108407) Subject: RE: . From: Severn Back in line, Private Peace! Your thread's survived and is back from the grave! I was a passenger in a car that was pulled over in Washington DC once by an OFFICER whose last name was Peace. Officer Peace, the Peace Officer. Said so right on his badge. I wasn't going to push it and ask him if his first name was Warren, lest he'd issue a Warren for my arrest. He'd seen the damnfool driver passing around a newly-opened wine bottle and drinking from it at a stop light. He took the three of us to a Police Station and then let us go to walk back to the car to "sober up". We finally got to the club just in time to see Tom Rush. I never found out who the opening act was....... We'd not gotten to drink much, so he was still at the point of being an Officer, rather than an Ossifer, and he WAS a gentleman, as befits a Man Of Peace, even one who carries a piece. |

There's lots of us fighting and striving, for seat down in the old A.C.T. But if I've got a seat in my trousers, and a missus to work for me…. Chorus Now give me a nail and a hammer, and a picture to hang on the wall And give me a strong step ladder, you know that I might fall, And give me a couple of waiters, and a barrel of good old Bass Ale And I bet you I'll hang up that picture, if somebody drives the nail.

27 Jul 07 - 03:27 AM (#2112371) Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Aw are we doing comedy songs then? Here's my rewrite of The Sally Gardens (The Sadly Gardens) It was down by the Sadly Gardens, my love and I did meet, As she crossed the Sadly Gardens, with bad breath- and smelly feet. The odour was so ran--cid, I could smell her from the pa--rk bench, Her best friend never told her, she had such an awful stench. In a field down by the river, my fat love raised her arms, Three inches of hair in her armpits, did not add to her charms. Tattoos all over her body, made her look much worse than weird, And the warts on her nose and earlobes, drew my eyes from off her beard. It was down by the Sadly Gardens, my love and I did meet, As she crossed the Sadly Gardens, with bad breath- and smelly feet. I would not want any another, so no oth--er wi-ll I find, She is hairy and smelly and ugly, but we all know love is blind. Version by Mike Hill Nov 2006 Such a sweet sounding song...Best wishes, Mike. |

27 Jul 07 - 09:21 AM (#2112559) Subject: RE: . From: Rapparee Too, too interesting. Let's restore some balance here! For an atom or molecule in which two transitions are driven by laser beams, a three-state model is used. Transitions among the three states are caused only by the oscillating electric fields of the laser beams. The amplitudes and detunings of the two laser beams, which are various functions of the time, appear in the Schrödinger equation for the atom or molecule. In certain cases, the Schrödinger equation can be solved analytically, to find transition probabilities and the probability of no transition. This is done by using Clausen's special function, or by assuming that the sum of the two detunings is zero at all times. Conditions for complete transfer of the population from the ground state to an excited state are obtained from the analytic solutions. |
