27 Nov 10 - 12:06 AM (#3041234) Subject: RE: BS: Why so few BS threads??? From: Little Hawk Or would be if Russia had sold it to the British instead of to the USA... I think there is a paucity of BS threads partly because we've worn out most of the good subject matter...and people are getting fatigued by the endless "argument" threads (politics and religion). I would start some new Chongo adventure if I had the time, but I'm kinda short on time at present, so it'll have to wait. Say...HERE's an idea! Break up the MOABS thread into about 25 separate threads. This would restore the BS section to more appropriate dimensions at once. |

27 Nov 10 - 02:19 PM (#3041549) Subject: RE: BS: Why so few BS threads??? From: Ed T Why so few BS threads? The economy is bad, so people are making adjustments to their lives. This includes making love more frequently, instead of starting new threads mon Mudcat. Just a guess? |

27 Nov 10 - 02:50 PM (#3041571) Subject: RE: BS: Why so few BS threads??? From: gnu Seriously, it is a poser. I know personally that I am full of shit, as are a lot of others here at The Café (and you know who you are) but as to why I am not sharing that gift to a greater extent escapes me. Except that it's still really cold here... and winter hasn't even truely taken hold. Ed T... re making love more frequently... what's a few minutes in a 24 hour day? |

27 Nov 10 - 08:38 PM (#3041729) Subject: RE: BS: Why so few BS threads??? From: JohnInKansas Nancy - I rather thought that this thread was the result of Bobert being unable to leave any complaint unanswered, and was his response to the complaint about "too many BS threads." We seem also to have had fewer "copycat threads" recently; but examined closely this thread quite likely is a somewhat more sophisticated use of that genre. Some may not understand that the copy cat thread that appears to be a mere bit of nonsense actually is (sometimes) a fairly advanced method of changing the apparent subject in order to subtly address an original topic "a little slantwise." Of course, sometimes a copycat thread is just a bit of nonsense; but the difference is easily recognized in most cases. As our resident master of lurking, scheming, and warped, bent, and twisted argument, Bobert has led us in his usual fashion (or at least in one of the styles he sometimes assumes) into what could be a more rational discussion - since here the topic title is a sensible question rather than an obvious complaint. Of course, I could be wrong. John |

28 Nov 10 - 11:17 AM (#3042004) Subject: RE: BS: Why so few BS threads??? From: Amos Maybe, but not necessarily the good china. Anyway, the paucity of BS threads is due to the huge number of mediocre BS threads. A |

Bear in mind that unlike Eiseley, you need not read the whole thing (although if you do you will become Enlightened). |
