We use the tall tumblers, btw.

Cuervo. Good enough?
You want lime and salt with that? Or just a great muckin' big glass of drug with water back?
I thought Lara was a single malt lady, LaPhroaig, to be precise. I lifted a bottle from the Rumpus room just for her.
So - come here often?

{{Fender strat guitar lick - and a good one too}}
Toin it up....
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama

Looks like I'll be in the Wheaton area about the middle of June. Depends upon when Jep makes his annual pilgrimage to the Keys. He plans - tentatively - to hit the Keys the
first week in June. I expect that he'll hit Charleston around the middle of June so that he and Boomer can do sonme serious picking and grinning. I plan to meet him there
then and will ride back with him from there.
If Jep's plans hold, I should be in Wheaton around the first week in June. I've alerted my family, the Raifords, that I'll be there around them. Still waiting on Jep to let me
know when he plans to hit Charleston. (No sense calling Lee since he refuses to answer if his Caller ID doesn't show someone that he knows. Donnie will answer if he's at
home when the call comes in, though.)
Looking forward to seeing you and Birdz. (One of Lee's sons is a bartender in a ichi ban joint, so we should be able to have a terrific meet.)

I just back from Tacoma, WA, and I'm here to tell you that there really is no there there.
I was there on St. Pat's day, and there was NOTHING going on, anywhere. The bar I went to was nearly empty.... the bartender didn'tknow how to pout Guinness, in spite of
my quite petulant instructions. Ileft at 9:00pm and halved the clinetele...
It reminded me of El Paso - just dead.

I'm looking forward to it. When I came up last year, I was concentrating on family that I had heard about but never met. Lee is my mother's age -6 months, and he last saw
me in 1937 when I was a baby. He has six kids in the Wheaton area, and I had a ball with them last year, What a hoot!

Speaking of family never met, my grandfather evidently had a child out of wedlock before he married my grandmother.
About 10 years ago, my mother's half sister called her out of the blue and announced her presence.
Well... THAT was quite an interesting period. She and her family turned out to be terrific people - garlic farmers (no shit) in Wyoming.

Life's funny ain't it?
You never know what you have until you lose it.
Nothing makes you want to express the depth of your feelins so much as the passing of the very moment it becomes too late.
For those who go through life unhappy, life goes by too slow. For those who enjoy it, life goes by too fast.
Life is to be savored, but we only come to truly understand that when there is precious little time left to savor.
This also holds true, for all the good things in life that by virtue of the 'saying,' must, and do, come to an end.
Youth is most definitley wasted on the young.
Nothing warms like the quiet company of an old, dear friend.
If you could go around twice, things like the closing of this board and the loss of relationships nurtured here, wouldn't be nearly as devastating as it is.
Forever is an incredibly long time.

Okay, G4 in the juke box:
Oh, list to the tale of a poor Irish harper
And scorn not the strings in his old withered hand
But remember these fingers could once move more sharper
To waken the echoes of his dear native land
How I long for to muse on the days of my boyhood
Though four score and three years have fled by since then
Still it gives sweet reflections, as every young joy should
That merry-hearted boys make the best of old men
At wake or at fair I would twirl my shillelagh
And trip through the jigs with my brogues bound with straw
And all the pretty maidens from the village, the valley
Loved the bold Phelim Brady, the bard of Armagh
And when sergeant Death's cold arms shall embrace me
Oh lull me to sleep with sweet Erin Go Bragh
By the side of my Kathleen, my own love, then place me
And forget Phelim Brady, the bard of Armagh

I was in Brownsville, down at the tip of Texas, doing God knows what. Something to do with immigration, drug busts, money laundering or maybe NAFTA. Real high crimes
and misdemeanor.
It had been a dusty day, scribbling down the lies told me and I returned to the Holiday Inn a thirsty man. It's a funny thing on the border, but the beer on tap was
Budweiser. You could throw a rock south and hit a Tecate can. But Bud is the choice in the Holiday Inn.
It was cold and wet and I ordered another. It was just past happy hour and the band was warming up. It was a three-piece tejano band and some guy on synthesizer. They
played some norteno ballads, some hotter tunes, then turned it over for requests.
A thick-shouldered Hispanic guy got up from his booth, walking intently if unsteadily toward the band. His enanmorta sat demurely in the booth, smiling shyly and
sucking down Bud like it was holy water.
The band leader nodded. The guy wheeled around and headed for the booth, smiling like a man with a mission.
As the band vamped an intro, the leader stepped to the microphone and sang, "Fillin's. Nutin' more than fillin's..."
I ordered a six pack to go and went to my room. I didn't want to ruin the poor bastards chances of getting lucky by laughing hystirically.

Life is exploding with humor wherever you are. It just takes the ability to see circumstances from a different perspective than that which is expected of you.

I'll share a Bushmills with ya... and Yeats:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem, waiting to be born?
Throw that across your chest.

Yeats?
Too Cool...
My favorite song... From a cult classic called Knightrider...
Sittin' here alone in my father's home,
Tomorrow I'll be gone,
I'll be on my own.
To the hills as a child I'll go,
But I'd rather be a wanderer than to never grow at all.
In my soul I saw life sleeping,
Waitin' to be born,
I'm here for weepin'.
Deep inside I can feel her dance,
Go and run to me lover, touch my innocence.
I see that life is an open road,
There'll be people stay,
And people go.
And you know it pains me so,
To think I'm just learnin' how
To let go...
Pity there's just emptiness,
tho with sorrow there comes joy,
And I woulda rather died in a hurricane,
Than to never know the storm.
See my tears, I can taste them,
as my castle walls do fall,
Oh but I would let go,
I'd never hold it all...
Castle crumble,
But I'd never hold it all......

Our cat has suddenly become fascinated with the sink in our master bathroom. She now hides at the steps as we leave in the morning, hoping to sneak into our room, and
thence to the bathroom.
Unfortunately, if the sink isn't dripping (she likes to paw at the stream), she punishes us by peeing on the bed.
It's her new game. She's seems to be ahead on points, since we shut the door before we leave, and she has managed to sneak under our bed with alarming frequency.

it always takes one to know one stranger
maybe we're just wiser now

Set 'em up all round, Ishtar!
Please.
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend...
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
No more *Politics* today...
... Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?...
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I (thought) I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friends we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts our dreams are still the same....
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.... [Nessus2] - 01:44pm Mar 24, 2001 EST (#163 of 1117)

Pride of Man
Turn around and go back down
Back the way you came
Can't you see that flash of fire
Ten times brighter than the day
And behold, a mighty city
Broken in the dust again
Oh, God! The pride of man
Broken in the dust again
Turn around and go back down
Back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste
Egypt's buried in her shame
The mighty men are beaten down
The kings have fallen in the ways
Oh, God! The pride of man
Broken in the dust again
Turn around and go back down
Back down the way you came
Terror is on ever'y side
Lo, the leaders are dismayed
Those who put their faith in fire
In fire their faith shall be repaid
Oh, God! The pride of man
Broken in the dust again
(Instumental break)
Turn around and go back down
Back down the way you came
Shout a warning to the nations
That the sword of God is raised.
On Babylon that mighty city
Rich in treasure, wide in fame
It shall cause thy tower to fall
And make it be a pyre of flame
Oh, God! The pride of man
Broken in the dust again
Oh, thou that dwell on many waters
Rich in treasure, wide in fame
Bow unto a god of gold
Thy pride of might shall be thy shame
Oh, God! The pride of man
Broken in the dust again
And only God can lead the people
Back into the earth again
Bridge
Thy Holy Mountain be restored
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord

Then there's my old friend Jim Post from my folk singing days:
Lord, I Want to Go Back to California
(Jim Post)
Last night, I dreamt I died and went to Heaven
I must admit I really was surprised
They led me through the Pearly Gates
Right down the golden streets
Everybody was busy working their ass off
Singing "Amazing Grace."
After 5,000 years, I got tired of that singing
Religious music was ringing in my sleep
It ain't no fun, you know
To own a ton of gold
All your neighbors have the same
CHORUS
Lord, I wanta go back to California
I want to hang out with the weirdos on the street
I visit Tennessee twice a year
Drink Colorado's cold Coors beer
My old lady makes pie that'll roll your socks down
Stew that'll keep coming around to visit me, Yeah!
So I went looking for a little bit o' sweet country music
But every time I found what I thought was a country music bar
There'd be a fifty voice choir singing higher and higher and (falsetto)higher
All the ladies had 1950's hairdos
All the men had flattops, "Love It Or Leave It" tattoos
Billy Graham moved into the castle next door
Oral Roberts already lived down the street
So I streaked it twice a day
Oral begged me to come in and pray
"Put your hand on the radio, feel the spirit, God needs a dollar."
Chorus
Spoken:
So, I went looking for the old, gray-headed Man With the long gray beard
And I said, "Mr. Damn,"-He dug I called him by the last name
I said, "Mr. Damn, I appreciate what you're trying to do here,
But Heaven's not for me, Hell, I'd rather be buried somewhere back on Earth's sweet soil."
He said, "Son, what makes you think you're in Heaven?
You cut down Heaven's 5,000 year-old redwood trees.
You exchanged it for silver and gold, and you let your crude oil overflow
Killing all the little bitty fish in Heaven's sea."
Chorus

I don't remember who wrote More, but I consider it one of the great love songs.
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life, will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never lived before
But my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

babbling,
I grew up in Maplewood, N.J. (near the Oranges.) It was a pretty good place to live before the advent of the two car family.
Newark used to have three main ethnic groups; Jews, blacks and Italians. When they moved out of the city, they moved to different suburbs, the Italians to Irvington, the
Jews to South Orange, and the Blacks to East Orange. My last few years in High School the Italians were starting to move farther out, to the next ring of suburbs, which was
where I lived. The Italian kids and the hippy kids were pretty different, culturally, but they did have one thing in common--they all used the word "fuckin'" alot!
I lived for a while in Ohio but it was pretty boring compared to the East Coast so I ended up moving to the D.C. area.

GW's Tips on Thread-starting
nessus: The secret of a successful thread is to start out with an eye-catching, or controversial topic, e.g, "Top 10 reasons to avoid sex with Republican women"........."Is Islam
the Religion of Satan?".........
Then (and here's the real secret)....you have to nurse your thread along.
A thread is very much like a newborn child. Right after it's born, it's unable to take care of itself. You must step in at just the right moments (perhaps after it's slipped back
to 9th or 10th place on the list) and give it a boost...a jolt.....a post that gets the discussion going again.
But no, I never believed in keeping a thread going with flames or insults. A true thread master would never stoop to that. Flames have their place, of course, but there's
always some post on the thread topic that you can respond to in a provocative way that gets the discussion going again.
You do this a few times and, before you know it, your thread is hitting the 75th post, the 100th post.......and onward and upward.

One way to keep alive your thread is you have to post often to your own thread. I generally start a thread and want to hear from others. Most of the times it doesn't work.
Another trick is to refer qusetions to people in particular rather than make a general post; poeple like that you pay attention to them.

I got a bunch of angry responses from dittoheads accusing me of wanting to see Rush disappear but that he was going to be here forever--and so on.

Guinness is nature's most nearly perfect food. And unlike most places in the states, we know how to pull one.
You fill the pint glass about 2/3 up, and then let is settle. Then fill it the rest of the way and allow that to settle. Takes about five minutes, if you don't mind the wait.
Buffalo wings? 16 oz of Crystal Louisiana hot sauce and a stick of butter, warmed. Wings deep fried a golden brown and then the sauce is poured over them. No breading.
Krafts Chunkey Bleu Cheese dressing and sliced carrots and celery.

Substitute some Melinda's Habanero sauce for the Crystal, but don't use just the Melinda's by itself at first. Mix it with the Crystal until you find the right heat level for you.
BTW, Crystal hot sauce is Emeril Lagasse's favorite hot sauce. Mine, too. Durkee's is also very good.

Okay ... I guess I should pay up ...
Next time you're in Boston, try a little place called Pomodoro on Hanover Street in the North End. About 20 chairs -- that's CHAIRS, not TABLES -- in the whole place, so call
ahead, especially on weekends. Two cooks, one waitress, very casual. Outstanding food!
And save room for dessert ... 'cause when you walk out of the place, you'll be face-to-face with Mike's Pastry right across the street.

I've had Tex-Mex in Dallas, El Paso, San Antonio, and Santa Fe. I've had people tell me the problem is I've never had real Mexican food, and promptly fed it to me. What I've

If you ever get the chance, though, try something (anything!) with authentic mole (pronounced moe-lay) sauce on it. I don't know if that's considered Tex-Mex, but it's the
acid test. If you don't absolutely fall in love at first bite with whatever's drenched in this chile and chocolate concoction then Taco Time should thank their lucky stars that
you give them a second thought. *G*

With respect to the mantel, it must have crashed under his weight by now so it hardly seems a problem. I have a raised marble hearth in front of my fireplace on which he

It's a funny part of human nature, Nessus...
The lead tanks are approaching the city. The troops have retreated back to the embassy, where the dutiful are shredding documents. There's a long line for exit visas to
other places, other lands. And the helicopter's rotors are slowly turning. The end is nigh...
So, what happens? In the streets, the folk are turning mean, settling old grudges, nursing old wounds.
Life is like the closing day of a war. Or high school. It's for something that my only two recurring nightmares involve being sent back to high school or getting drafted
again.

Isn't it amusing how we all set different standards for our measurement of self-worth? For some of us it is knowing we have achieved some standard of educational
accomplishment and for others it lies in the balance in our checking account.
When I was young I would have made a pact with the devil if he would have given me the ability to be a world class half mile flat track motorcycle racer. Now that seems so
unimportant to me that I smile at the thought.
Our dreams play out the things in our lives that still trouble us and help keep us from all becoming too neurotic. Mine seem to be dealing with a lack of control in the
working environment which is why I went into management.

The entire saga of trying to get on Sherrie's board:
Monday afternoon I e-mailed Sherrie, Lara, Duh, Maggie, and Char to say I hadn't received an invitation or a link to Sherrie's new place. Sherrie e-mailed back to say
she'd sent five invitations. I hadn't received any of them. Maggie sent me the URL. I tried it and it wouldn't load. Later that afternoon somebody sent me the global URL. It
loaded. I tried to sign on with it and got (1st) a notice that the name was taken with a suggestion to try another, and (2nd) an error message when I tried another. The error
message itself has a place to click to contact the site administrator and asks that you include a copy of the error message. I did that, and have heard nothing.
Monday night Lara e-mailed me to say she had sent me several invitations to the site. I received none of them. Sherrie and I connected by instant message and she gave
me the specific URL to her site. I tried again to log on, using MsRobbie. I was told the name was taken. Then I tried MzRobbie, MizRobbie, and just plain Robbie. I was often
told the name was taken, and to try another. I went through that list, sometimes being told the name was taken, and sometimes getting an error message. Sherrie and I
began to suspect it's because I'm on AOL, so she tried logging herself on from her AOL account and it worked. So, evidently, it's not AOL. One time it appeared MzRobbie had
worked, but Sherrie sat on her site administrator spot for an hour or more, and no application appeared.
Tuesday I tried again, and got a variety of the above responses (either "name taken" or an error message). Wardaddy, on my behalf, contacted Panama Hank, who said it
was probably because I'm on AOL.
Wednesday Wardaddy e-mailed me with the site URL again. I tried it again, using MsRobbie ("name taken"), then LeiMsRob (error message).
If any of you can make sense of an error message, here it is:

To MsRobbie, re 550
I don't think it is AOL, because AOL is really just Netscape with a small wrapper. (You can tell from the "Mozilla" reference, with was the heart of Mosaic and Netscape.)
There are several possibilities that come to mind.
One is that it may be trying to place a "cookie" on your machine, to store info for your next login, and your machine may have security set too high for the operation. Try
setting the security options as low as possible.
Another is that people may be giving you a URL that is past the page where you initiate the creation of a new login page. A test for that is for someone who has succeeded, to
create login for you, and then just tell you the name and password.
Whoever is administering the board can easily look to see if these names you tried really are already used. I think it is more likely that you actually succeeded in registering
already, and that the message is being generated because you are trying to login under more than one name, and it is generating a conflict in the cookie at your site. I
suggest you look for the cookie on your machine, and consider deleting it. In IE it is a seperate file, but with Netscape it is simply a few additional lines in the "cookie" file.
Sorry I can not be more helpful, but it is hard to know without more to go on.
Does this look infected to you? [Duh_] - 07:00pm Mar 28, 2001 EST (#553 of 1117)

Fine girl you are!

And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Now when we're out a-sailing and you are far behind
Fine letters will I write to you with the secrets of my mind,
The secrets of my mind, my girl, you're the girl that I adore,
And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more
Oh now the storm is raging and we are far from shore;
The poor old ship she's sinking fast and the riggings they are tore.
The night is dark and dreary, we can scarcely see the moon,
But still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
It's now the storm is over and we are safe on shore
We'll drink a toast to the Holy Ground and the girls that we adore.
We'll drink strong ale and porter and we'll make the taproom roar,
And when our money is all spent we'll go to sea once more.
You’re the girl I do adore
And I still live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!!

To Duh, re 553,
I don't think that AOL is MS IE based, because after Netscape started the action against MS with the DOJ, it was AOL that continued it after Netscape was sold. I am failrly sure
it was AOL that bought Netscape.
But it interesting that MS IE is based on Mosaic, that was created by the same people that later made Netscape. So both browsers have some commonality.

OK, I'm confused....which one of you is Miss Pig Mouth and which is the Board Bitch?
babblingbrook was "Miss Pig Mouth" and I was the "Board Bitch".
Noble distinctions from a Rabid Republican if ever I heard one...

Two Irishmen were sitting in a pub.
"And where might you be from?" he first asks.
"From County Kerry," the second says.
"Saints be. I'm from County Kerry. Ballyhane. Let me buy you a drink."
"A miracle! I'm from Ballyhane," the second said. "Now it's my round. And what parish might you be in?"
"St. Brigit's."
"Glory with us, that was my parish too." Let me buy you a drink.
Another man in the pub, watching the conversation unfold, asked the publican," What is this all about?"
The pub owner wiped at the bar with a rag. "Oh, never mind them," he snorted. "That's just the O'Leary twins again."

A Texan, a Californian, and Oregonian are out riding horses.
The Texan pulls out an expensive bottle of Whiskey, takes a long draught then another and suddenly throws it into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the bottle in midair.
The Californian looks at him and says "What are you doing? That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!"
The Texan says, "In Texas, there is plenty of whiskey and the bottles are cheap."
A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Californian pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the champagne into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it
in midair.
The Oregonian can't believe his eyes, "What the heck did you do that for? That was a perfectly good bottle of champagne!"
The Californian says, "In California, we have plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."
So, awhile later, the Oregonian pulls out a bottle of Widmer Hefeweizen. He opens it, takes a sip, then another, then chugs the whole bottle. He then puts the bottle in his
saddle bag, pulls out his gun, turns around and shoots the Californian.
The Texan, shocked, says, "Why the hell did you do that?!"
The Oregonian replies, "In Oregon, we have plenty of Californians and the bottles are worth a nickel."

OK, but I'm warnin' ya....incoming blonde joke!!!
A blonde went to the appliance store sale and found a bargain. "I would like to buy this TV," she told the salesman. "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.
She hurried home and dyed her hair, then came back and again told the salesman "I would like to buy this TV." "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied. "Darn, he
recognized me," she thought.
She went for a complete disguise this time; haircut and new color, new outfit, big sunglasses, then waited a few days before she again approached the salesman. "I would like
to buy this TV." "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.
Frustrated, she exclaimed, "How do you know I'm a blonde?"
"Because that's a microwave," he replied.

A few months ago, a boss received this memo from his blonde secretary:
TO: Mr. Boss
FROM: Blondie
RE: Changing Calendars from Y2K
Dear Mr. Boss:
I hope that I haven't misunderstood your instructions because, to be honest, none of this Y to K problem made much sense to me. At any rate, I have finished the conversion
of all of the months on all of the company calendars for next year. The calendars have returned from the printer and are ready to be distributed with the following new
months:
Januark
Februark
Mak
Julk
I also changed all the days of each week to:
Sundak
Mondak
Tuesdak
Wednesdak
Thursdak
Fridak
Saturdak
We are now Y to K compliant. Have a nice dak!!!

And another incoming blonde bombshell....
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the
first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. A short time later, the blonde came
to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked.
"Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

At a pharmacy, a blonde asked to use the infant scale to weigh the baby she held in her arms. The clerk explained that the device was out for repairs, but said that she would
figure the infant's weight by weighing the woman and baby together on the adult scale, then weighing the mother alone and subtracting the second amount from the first.
"That won't work," countered the blonde. "I'm not the mother, I'm the aunt."

This one is.... you decide.
Three couples went in to see the minister to see how to become members of his church. The minister said that they would have to go without sex for two weeks and then
come back and tell him how it went.
The first couple was retired, the second couple was middle aged and the final couple was newlywed.
Two weeks went by, and the couples returned to the minister. The retired couple said it was no problem at all. The middle-aged couple said it was tough for the first week, but
after that, it was no problem. The newlyweds said it was fine until she dropped the can of paint.
''Can of PAINT!'' exclaimed the minister. ''Yeah,'' said the newlywed man. ''She dropped the can and when she bent over to pick it up I had to have her right there and then.
Lust took over.'' The minister just shook his head and said that they were not welcome in the church.
''That's okay,'' said the man. ''We're not welcome in Home Depot either.''

What to not say to the nice policeman.
I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
Hey, you must've been doing about 125 mph to keep up with me! Good Job!
I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
Bad cop! No doughnut!
You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence.
Wow, you look just like the guy in the picture on my girlfriend's nightstand.
Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonald's?
I pay your salary!
So, uh, you on the take or what?
Gee, Officer! That's terrific! The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other car around--that's how far ahead of me they are.
What do you mean, "Have I been drinking?" You're the trained specialist.
Well, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off my lap and got lodged between the brake pedal and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of
control.
Hey, is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this .44 magnum!

A recent news story detailed a medical implant which offers women the chance to experience orgasms with the press of a button. Tiny electrodes are implanted into the
spine and a small signal generator in the skin under the buttocks. The patient then controls the sensation with a handheld remote. Side Effects of the New Orgasm Implant:
Dramatic increase in the number of women seen hanging out at Radio Shack.
Cosmopolitan magazine folds due to a drastic shortage of cover story headlines.
Dad: now surfs with two remotes. Mom: never complains.

Four surgeons were sitting around discussing who they like to operate on.
The first surgeon said, "I like operating on librarians. When you open them up everything is in alphabetical order".
The second surgeon said, "I like operating on accountants. When you open them up everything is in numerical order".
The third surgeon said, "I like operating on electricians. When you open them up everything is color coded.
The fourth surgeon said, "I like operating on lawyers".
The other three surgeons looked at each other in disbelief. One of them asked why.
The fourth surgeon replied, "Because they are heartless, gutless, spineless, and their ass and head are interchangeable".

One day, Gramma sent her grandson Johnny down to the water hole to get some water for cooking dinner. As he was dipping the bucket in, he saw two big eyes looking back
at him. He dropped the bucket and hightailed it for Gramma's kitchen.
"Well now, where's my bucket and where's my water?" Gramma asked him.
"I can't get any water from that water hole, Gramma" exclaimed Johnny.
"There's a BIG ol' alligator down there!"
"Now don't you mind that ol' alligator, Johnny. He's been there for a few years now, and he's never hurt no one. Why, he's probably as scared of you as you are of him!"
"Well, Gramma," replied Johnny, "if he's as scared of me as I am of him, then that water ain't fit to drink!"

Thanks for all your support. It’s a real pleasure to see you all helping turn my hum drum little establishment into 1000 poster. I’m very flattered by the attention, and I
hope y’all are having fun, too.
However, if it means we’re going to be nasty to each other, then I’d just as soon pass on 1000. This is a haven. Every one is welcome here and we will be nice to each other
(regardless of how hypocritical it makes us feel). I was even civil to Russell (altho’ I refused to run him a tab). I have no way to enforce this other than to appeal to your
better natures, and point out that there are 128 other threads where you can cut each other up.
That’s not to say that a little gentle ribbing is out of order, but you know what I mean.

My son is currently hooked on flatulence humor.
He gets it from his dad, but I'm trying to teach him that endless, seccessive repetition is not funny. The surprise factor is a major component.
To which he says, "Oh, yeah? What about Blazing Saddles?"

One last gas post ...
My brother once had a dog named "Popeye". Popeye was fed a lot of table scraps, with infamous repercussions.
Popeye's training began with my brother reacting sternly to these repercussions with something like: "POPEYE! WHAT'D YOU DO?" Whereupon, Popeye would get up and
leave the room, head hanging, tail between legs, thoroughly rebuked for his rude behavior.
Of course, this training came in handy when someone else in the room (usually my brother) suffered similar dietary repercussions, followed by my brother's stern rebuke
of Popeye and Popeye's prompt departure.
It wasn't long before the verbal rebuke became unnecessary. Popeye's nose would tell him what to do, and Popeye would just get up and leave the room, head hung in
shame -- regardless of the source of the repercussion.
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the expression, "Man's Best Friend."

HINT: Do not use beer in the water pan. Trust me.
Hickory and pecan are good. The cooking times in the cookbook that come with the smoker are very accurate. Finishing the pork off in heavy foil for the last hour is what
we do. Put some of the basting liquid from the spray bottle in the foild with the meat. Makes it very tender. (Mix white vinegar 7:1 with tap water and spray the meat once
every half hoour or so.)

But before that I do part with her,

And breaked her on his knee,

It's still a good idea to finish your pork off in heavy foil.
The first thing that I ever cooked in my first water smoker was a four pound ribeye. Tasted like prime rib and was just as tender.
Try finishing off a chicken with a good Polish sausage coiled on its breast for the last hour of cooking. Turkey comes out of a water smoker juicy and tender, too.
Onions and lemons are good in the water pan. They give the meat a nice flavor.

Never tried one of those things, actually. I just throw the sucker on.
Actually, I don't think that it would make any difference. The smoke and the steam get into the inside of the chicken or turkey anyway. I just loosely stuff a trukey and don't
sew it up. With a chicken, I just leave the cavity empty and open. The smoke gives them a wonderful flavor and they're so tender that you won't be able to believe it when
you bite into one.
A smoked turkey is actually good, if you can believe it. Otherwise, I hate turkey. Smoked I can make exceptions for, though.

THE BASTARD KING OF ENGLAND, Apocryphally attributed to Rudyard Kipling
Oh, the minstrels sing of an English King of many long years ago
Who ruled his land with an iron hand though his mind was weak and low.
He love to shag the royal stag that roamed the royal wood,
But better yet to lie in bed and pull the royal pud.
His only outer garment was a dirty undershirt
That managed to hide the royal pride but couldn't hide the dirt.
Chorus:
He was wild and woolly and full of fleas
And his terrible tool hung down to his knees---
God bless the Bastard king of England.
Oh, the Queen of Spain was an amorous Jane,
And a sprightly dame was she;
Who loved to fool with the royal tool
Of the King across the sea.
So she sent a royal message by a royal messenger
To ask the King to bring his ding and spend a night with her.
(Cho.)
When Philip of France heard this, by chance
He declared, before his court:
"The Queen prefers my rival, because my dong is short."
So he sent the Count of Zippity-Zap to slip the Queen a dose of the clap
To pass it to the Bastard King of England.
(Cho.)
When the King of England heard of this, he was walking through his halls
And he up and swore by the royal whore that he'd have the Frenchman's balls
He offered up both half his lands and a piece of the Queen Hortense
To any British subject who'd de-nut the King of France.
(Cho.)
Well the Earl of Sussex heard of this and straight-aways went to France
Where he swore he was a fairy, so the King let down his pants,
He knotted a thong around that prong, and jumped on his horse, and rode along
And dragged him to the bastard king of England.
(Cho.)
When the King of England saw this sight, he shit all over the floor,
For during the ride, his rival's pride had stretched a yard or more
Then the merry maids of England, came down from London town
And shouted 'round the castle walls "To Hell with the British crown!"
And Philip of France usurped the throne, his scepter was the royal bone
By which he'd bitched the bastard King of England!
(Cho.)

Here's the Oscar Brand version that I learned in about 1960:
Now the minstrels sing of an English king of many long years ago,
He ruled his land with an iron hand tho’ his morals were weak and low
His only outer garment was a dirty yellow shirt with which he tried to hide his hide
But he couldn’t hide the dirt
Chorus:
He was dirty and lousy and full of fleas
But he had his women by twos and threes
God bless the Bastard King of Eng-ga-land!
Now, the Queen of Spain was an amorous Jane a lascivious wench was she
She longed to play in her loving way with the king across the sea
So she sent a royal messenger by the Royal Messenger
To invite the King of Eng-ga-land down to spend the night with her
Cho.
When Philip of France heard it by chance he declared before his court
The Queen prefers my rival just because I’m somewhat short
So he sent the Count of Zippity Zap to give the Queen a dose of clap
To pass it on to the Bastard King of Eng-ga-land
Cho.
When the King of England heard the news, he cursed the Gallic Farce
He up and swore by the Royal Whore that he’d have the Frenchman’s ass.
He offered half the Royal Purse and piece of Queen Hortense
To any loyal subject who’d undo the King of France
Cho.
So the Earl of Sussex jumped on his horse and straightway galloped to France
Where in a dash, he stripped the sash from Philip's pajama pants
And in front of a throng, he slipped on a thong, jumped on his horse and galloped along
Dragging the Frenchman back to Merry Eng-ga-land
Cho.
When the King of England saw the sight, he fell in a faint on the floor
For during the ride, the Frenchman’s hide was stretched a yard or more
And all the maids of England came down to London town
And shouted around the battlements, "To Hell with the British Crown!"
Last Chorus:
So Philip of France usurped the throne
His scepter was the Royal Bone
With which he bitched the Bastard King of England
God bless the Bastard King of Eng-ga-land!

Just for you, Dave:
In about 1880, a black cowboy named "Bones" Hooks rode up from East Texas into the Panhandle of Texas on his mule, "Dinamite" (his spelling). He was a super cowboy and a
wonderful and very popular range cook. His chili was to die for, as they say. It was legendary.
In Amarillo, at an old cowboys' reunion, Bones cooked up a pot o' red. When it was time to eat, he said this prayer over his chili: Most of the old cowboys were too stove up to
kneel, so they bowed their heads where they stood
"Lord, God, You know us old cowhands is forgetful. Sometimes, I can't even recollect what happened yestiddy. We is forgetful. We just know
daylight and dark, summer, fall, winter, and spring. But I sure hope we don't never forget to thank You before we is about to eat a mess of good
chili.
"We don't know why, in Your wisdom, You been so doggone good to us. The heathen Chinee don't have no chili, ever. The Frenchmens is left out.
The Rooshians don't know no more about chili than a hog does about a side saddle. Even the Meskins don't get a good whiff of it unless they stay
around here.
"Chili eaters is some of Your chosen people. We don't know why You so doggone good to us. But, Lord, god, don't never think we ain't grateful for
this chili we about to eat.

Checking in! Good gawd, Nessus, such a successful thread. Why didn't you start this earlier?
I'm seeing some handles I haven't seen in some time. The left-coasters are probably going to come in later to really whoop things up, but I'm afraid I'll be long asleep. I will
definately be here tomorrow for the close.

Fond memories of this place prevail. I'll be here tomorrow until the bitter end, but tonight is the last hurrah. I wish I could say something reflective and profound right
now.
The best I can do is to say that I've learned a lot, made friends and enemies, worked out anxiety and frustration, joy and camaraderie. I have felt free to express my opinion.
I've been happy, sad, moved, and sickened. But most of all, I've been a part of this electronic community and that's an experience I'll never forget. Thanks to everybody.

okay...so it's spam and I already posted it in the RR...but this thread needs to bust 1000 before I go to bed. LOL
I don't have a goodbye for anyone because I know I'll see most of you at other sites, and I've got a vast collection of e-mail addresses.
I will say that I'll miss this venue for more reasons than I can count, but here's a few...
In 5 years, I've learned to be passionate on issues about which I'd either been lukewarm or indifferent when I arrived.
I've learned that if you think a comment is snide, it probably was. :)
I've learned that we'll have to pry AOL out of Robbie's cold, dead fingers.
I've learned that most of the people I call friends here are people with whom I'd have become friends if I'd met them in "real" life.
I've learned that my online persona is very different from my real life persona...in many ways.
I've learned that if you think a comment is snide, it may not have been. *g* (The medium has its limitations)
I've learned not to put an automatic apostrophe in "its" every time I type it.
I've learned that sliced coffee is the only way to wake up.
There's about 16 hours left in the old place...and I'm going to sleep through about 7 of those, then work through 8 more...that leaves me an hour tomorrow afternoon to come
in and say last goodbyes...but that sounds like a bad idea...
I really don't want to be in the middle of composing some brilliant or not-so-brilliant post and click "Post A Message" only to have run out of time. That would be too
depressing...so I likely will stop by tomorrow to read the goodbyes, but tonight is my swan song at TOL.
It's been inredibly fun, unbelievably infuriating, astonishingly enlightening, and, even as an Atheist, I consider myself blessed to have discovered this little corner of the
Internet world, and to have had the good sense to stick around for 5 years (off and on, LOL!).
A small token of my affection:
when in those darkest moods i find my musing
arrested by most bleak and waning hope,
addled further yet by thoughts confusing
the audacity required beyond my scope;
my mettle leaves me low, my courage craven
and waives my ardor more, my fervor less
until i cede my last remaining haven
and think of you all and how i have been blest
for in the least of such deliberations,
as when sweet heralds praise the day begun
my thoughts acquit all sign of consternation
and light my soul as day is lit by sun.
in this you are the wardens of my smile
entrancing all your precious hearts beguile.

Bob Dylan is a whining ass who only occasionally, and probably accidentally, writes some decent lyrics, but you can't tell until somebody else sings them. He plays
ear-splitting harmonica in between his whiny lyrics and people think it's brilliant.

Well, Nessus' thread has reached 1000 posts, and I've got to get to bed...
An old Irish blessing for the road...
"May your coffin be made of sturdy oak, and may the acorn from which it grows be not yet planted."
A thousand "thank you's" for the thousand laughs...
Until next time...

I'm bombarding you with Dylan… LOL
I can hear the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me.
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain.
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
He's always off somewhere when I need him most.
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is a-tellin' me I love ya still.
I come back to the town from the flaming moon
I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon.
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore I finally
disappear?
Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes.
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go I'll follow them.
I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you I'm not free.
How long must I suffer such abuse
Won't you let me see you smile one time before I turn you
loose?
I've given up the game, I've got to leave,
The pot of gold is only make-believe.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
My head tells me it's time to make a change
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
One more time at midnight, near the wall
Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it.
Goodbye and good luck to all. [Blackricco] - 01:45am Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1019 of 1117)

My, who was that gentlemen leaving the bar in tassles?
Bob Dylan is a whining ass who only occasionally, and probably accidentally, writes some decent lyrics, but you can't tell until somebody else sings them. He
plays ear-splitting harmonica in between his whiny lyrics and people think it's brilliant.
Two observations: Dylan is brilliant. Someone gets crabby on too much champagne.
Oh, the hell with it...I love ya, Ms R even if you don't like Dylan. You too Rhi and Ricco.
Open bar for the rest of the day. What are they gonna do, shut down the board?

Peter Cammann [streamline] - 08:47am Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1040 of 1117)
Good morning Susan. Nice to see you, Natrona. Um, you too Herb.
Dave, my friend. How are you today?
This is it, kidz. The very last day and I'm actually feeling pretty upbeat for the first time in a while. What the hey. It's been a great run and today is going to be all about fun
and games.
So, let the games begin!
A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot. The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said, "The parrot to the left costs 500 dollars."
"Why does that parrot cost so much?" the man wondered.
The owner replied, "Well, it knows how to use a computer."
The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.
"That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system."
Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot.
"That one costs 2,000 dollars."
"And what does that one do?" the man asked.
The owner replied, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a thing, but the other two call him boss!"
No! The cow did that one, honest! [BARRY F SULLIVAN] - 08:48am Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1041 of 1117)
Good mourning. Its the last beer that makes you fall down, not the seventh.
Anton [Anton] - 08:52am Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1042 of 1117)
I know Dave loves this one:
"Goodbye my friends, it's hard to die
When birds are singing in the sky....
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun,
But the wine and the songs like the seasons are all gone."
Like another song says:
"We'll meet again....
Don't know where, don't know when..."
Well, maybe we do know "where and when"!
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.... [Nessus2] - 08:55am Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1043 of 1117)
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!
I hope you had fun. I certainly have.
Quite a party I missed last night (Mrs. Nessus insisted on company in bed – a pretty good offer).
Mark Twain and Christopher Robin dropped in (two of my most favorite people). I suppose that I will have to remain in ignorance as to their real identities.
We learned that Ricco and Duh, whatever other sterling qualities they may possess can’t count. Duh gets the 1000 post prize anyway, - which is ALL THE CRAWDAD PO’BOYS
SHE CAN EAT!!!!
That sequence reminded me of an old joke:
Mr. Bones: Mr. Jones ask me what the secret of comedy is.
Mr. Jones: Okay. What is the secret of - Mr. Bones: Timing.
It’s better spoken, I suppose.
Good greif!! Could this be the end of Ricco?
Herb, here’s a wash cloth.
Cool, we have a 1000 post thread. Woudn’t it be just like Dave to turn it off at 3:59? Post with no data, my ass!
Actiually, that woudn't be like dave at all.
You guys are the BEST. This has been so much fun.
Nessus
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.... [Nessus2] - 08:56am Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1044 of 1117)

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how ol’ Buckeye’s threads would make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those keyboards dance
And maybe they'd be flaming for a while
But the end of March it made me shiver
with every keystroke I delivered,
Bad news in the header,
Nothing could have stopped me deader,
I can't remember if I cried
when I read about Time’s selfish side
But something touched me deep inside,
The day Pathfinder, died.
CHORUS
So, bye, bye Mr. partisan guy
Point my browser to the bookmark but the connection died.
And them good ol' techs were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day the boards die.
This will be the day the boards die.
Did you write the thread above?
And is your face in the book of Duh?
And Rich Pasma prattles so.
Now do you believe in click ‘n’scroll
Can Tortdog save your mortal soul?
And can you teach Bear how to type real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with Jim
'Cause I saw your flaming war with him
You both blew off the rules
And we all fell off our stools
There was a looney leftist baiting Hank
Who questioned conrad and drew a blank
But I knew that that was in the tank....
The day Pathfinder died.
CHORUS
Now for 4 years we've been on our own
Since Marcus left for parts unknown.
But that's not how it is at Time.
And then Dave became our king and queen
But in that role he was seldom seen
And his posts they looked like yours and mine.
And when the King was lying down
Russell would up and torch the town
And on the boards they never learned.
Russell always would return
And while Fiat wrote a book on Marx
Sherrie practiced with her darts
And we all giggled in the dark
The day Pathfinder died.
CHORUS
Herb and Otis stuck it to the POTUS.
If Birdz was mean we didn?t notice.
Eighty threads and climbing fast.
Speedway landed on his ass,
Ray quoted laws already passed.
And history told by Kirk was just a gas.
Now the warming earth was in review
While Regal said it wasn’t news.
We nearly pissed our pants,
When Dean did his colored dance.
And Algore tried to take the field,
The Texas Gov. refused to yield.
And we all argued if he didn’t steal,
To The day Pathfinder died.
CHORUS
Oh and there we were in cyber space,
With everyone pleading out their case,
And Y-Sam impeached Jackson once again.
So come on, Ricco’s nimble, Blue Lime’s quick,
McMurray is our nation schtick
And streamline is everybody’s friend.
Oh but when we read a spin doc’s phrase
Our answers would go on for days.
No campaign clerk could yell,
As loud or write so well.
But against the Nanny stood all of us,
The lame, the blind, the right wing nuts.
We're all bozos on this bus.
The day pathfinder died.
CHORUS
I met a girl with handle blue,
I asked about the folks we knew,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I clicked my bookmark where the board was found.
I searched and looked, and cruised around.
But the screen there said I’m sorry, page not found.
And on the net, some posters screamed
Some flamers died and the rest were steamed.
But none of them were jokin’,
The links had all been broken.
And the three that I admire most
Duh and Libby and the RR host
They’ve all gone somewhere else to post...
The day Pathfinder died.
So, bye, bye Mr. partisan guy
Point my browser to the bookmark but the connection died.
And them good ol' techs were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day the boards die.
This will be the day the boards die.

Well, it's time for an old woody Guthrie number, Talking Guitar Blues. It's on a treasured old Cisco Houston LP with Ccisco playing about thirteen of Woody's songs. That was
his last album before the lung cancer killed him.
Talking Guitar Blues
If you want to get in trouble, I'll tell you how to do it
Just get you a guitar, and then you're into it
Practice all day and half the night
Folks 'll tell you never will get it right
Always fussin' at you, grousing
Won't let you practice,
Tryin' to run you out into the henhouse
Bought me a guitar 'bout a year ago
The fellow said I'd learn in week or so
Then he gave a book and a pick or two
nd he said, "Here it is, Bud, it's up to you."
That dirty dog--charged me four-ninety-five
Every bit o' money I had
Cotton pickin' money
Since I'd already spent my dough
I didn't want it to go to waste, you know
So I took that guitar and that book and all
Went down home where the grass grows tall
Down there in Virginia
ood place to be if you've got a guitar
Don't amount to much if you ain't
Well, for weeks and weeks I labored hard
Just tryin' to learn those few main chords
The book said it was easy as A B C
But, Damn! my fingers is a-killin' me!
Got sore on the ends
Couldn't mush the strings down
Felt dis-gusted--wanted to quit
Well, I practiced hard both night and day
I could see my Maw's hair was turnin'' gray
Her face was lined with dis-content
Said her patience was damned near spent
She was agitated and nervous
Wanted to scream
My sister she took it the worst of all
'Cause she got married that comin' fall
Said it was love, but I got my doubts
I think that guitar drove her out
She's a game gal, though
Just couldn't take it
Said there's a limit to everything
Well, Paw he took it a different way
He said, "Son, you can turn your Maw's hair gray
And drive your sister away from home
But either you or me is goin' roamin',
And I ain't leavin', boy"
Said, "I never intended to.
You figure it out."
Well, I did--kinda quick.
Well, next day after my clothes were packed
I slung that guitar 'cross my back
And I grabbed me the end of a long gray train
To search this world for my share of fame
But I ain't found any
Nothin' but hardship, heartaches and handouts

I'll be in Austin, watching the final act of "Who Killed Madalyn Murray O'Hair" today. But I just wanted to say, one last time, thanks.
Liberal. Conservative. Looney. Rich. Poor. Suave. Ricco. You've all meant much to me. And made this all an incredible experience.
Give yourself a hand.

Sadly Seattle has more issues to face than the lack of carne asada
It rains up there. Always. Never stops.
Traffic sucks.
Coffee sucks.
Crowded.
Did I mention that it rains a lot up there?

Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home
Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
Bell flight fourteen you now can land
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home

This seems like as good a place as any to call in the dogs, hose down the fire and head on back to the truck..
I have to go do groceries. When I return, it will be over.
Sometime this summer, I will be threading my way along the banks of one of my favorite little ribbons of falling water in the SW Wisconsin dairy country, staying low and
stalking rising brown trout with a fly rod. I'll have a seat on a bankside log to change flies or simply to rest a spell. It is then that some episode from these boards and these
times will come to mind. I'll remember something somebody said here and I'll laugh right out loud, in front of God, the world and the dozen Holesteins I'm sharing the
meadow with. Then I'll recall something said by another and I'll get all indignant and wrathy again.
Then I'll remember that it is gone and I'll be a little bit sad. But in the sadness will be a whole lot of gratitude for the good fortune to have been present for it all.
And then I'll go find another riser..
Dave: In a job where there were no pre-existing standards, you made the template for doing it right, IMO. I'd have been in a tower with a rifle long ago, if it were me.
Godspeed and Good Luck to all. We will never have *this* again, but I will be around from time to time at some of the substitutes that have popped up and hope to see many of
you there..
God Bless till then..

Well, I'll try....
Many thanks to all who joined me in the many discussions we had over the years.
I am not going to even try to list people I enjoyed debating. In fact, I really enjoyed the give and take with just about everyone, even the ostensibly obnoxious ones. I
certainly will not list those. They know who they are - all three of them.
I will certainly miss those who do not choose to join us elsewhere but I say, please do so that we can keep the conversations going.
Damn, I hate this!!!!

God, it's like a morgue around here. Let's have some fiddle and banjo music.
Come single belle and beau, to me now pay attention
And love, I'll plainly show, is the divil's own invention.
For once I fell in love with a damsel most bewitchin'
Miss Henrietta Bell, down in Captain Kelly's kitchen.
Chorus
To my toora loora la, my toora loora laddy
Ri toora loora la, ri toora loora laddy.
At the age of seventeen, I was 'prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green, where Miss Bell for tea would go, sir
Her manners were so free, she set me heart a-twitchin'
She invited me to tea, down in Captain Kelly's kitchen.
Chorus
Next Sunday bein' the day we were to have the flare-up
I dressed myself quite gay, an' I frizzed and oiled me hair up
The Captain had no wife, he had gone out a-fishin'
So we kicked up high life, below-stairs in the kitchen.
Chorus
Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table
She served me tea and cakes --- I ate while I was able,
I ate cakes, drank punch and tea, till my side had got a stitch in
And the hours flew quick away, while coortin' in the kitchen.
Chorus
With my arms around her waist, I kissed - she hinted marriage
To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage!
Her looks told me full well that moment she was wishin'
That I'd get out to Hell, or at least far from the kitchen.
Chorus
She flew up off my knees, full seven feet or higher
And over heads and heels, threw me slap into the fire
My new Repealers coat, that I'd bought from Mrs. Stichen
With a thirty-shilling note, went to blazes in the kitchen.
Chorus
I grieved to see my duds, all besmeared with smoke and ashes
When a tub of dirty suds, right in my face she dashes.
As I lay on the floor, still the water she kept pitchin'
Till the footman broke the door, and marched into the kitchen.
Chorus
When the Captain came downstairs, and seen my situation
In spite of all my prayers I was marched off to the station
For me they'd take no bail, tho' to get home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the tale of how I got into the kitchen.
Chorus
I said she did invite me, but she gave a flat denial
For assault she did indict me, and I was sent for trial.
She swore I robbed the house, in spite of all her screechin'
And I got six months hard, for my coortin' in the kitchen.
Chorus

NBA's coming Memphis? Crime's already too high. [wardaddy] - 03:17pm Mar 30, 2001 EST (#1106 of 1117)
From the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's first Circle album:
Head It On back To Bowlegs
SPOKEN: There used to be this old guy named Woody-Woody was an Indian. He came from this town in Oklahoma named Bowlegs. And he used to have this
saying, used to say when things got real lousy-I mean real lousy- - all you had to do was just put out the fire, call in the dogs and head it on back to Bowlegs.
That's what this tune's about, heading it on back to Bowlegs.
Sometimes, things don't work out, but that's how life is, son
All them little miseries will keep you on the run
Some morning you may wake up with your face down in the eggs
CHORUS:
Well, just put out the fire, Call in the dogs
And head it on back to Bowlegs,
Put out the fire,
Call in the dogs,
And head it on back to Bowlegs
Well, lots of people in this world are trying to make a buck
Some folks ride in limousines while others just drive them old Peterbilt trucks.
Just remember that old saying 'bout the round holes and square pegs
CHORUS:
Briidge:
There's no use trying to be what you're not
Why not take some advice from me even tho' I ain't no McCartney
Well, the moral of this story escapes me at this time
I've been too busy sittin' here just trying to make it rhyme
I'm a crazy drunken fool, and when I finish off this keg
CHORUS:
I'm gonna piss on the fire
Call in the dogs and head it on back to Bowlegs
Piss on the fire
Call in the dogs and head it on back to Bowlegs

One mo’ time:
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how ol’ Buckeye’s threads would make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those keyboards dance
And maybe they'd be flaming for a while
But the end of March it made me shiver
with every keystroke I delivered,
Bad news in the header,
Nothing could have stopped me deader,
I can't remember if I cried
when I read about Time’s selfish side
But something touched me deep inside,
The day Pathfinder, died.
CHORUS
So, bye, bye Mr. partisan guy
Point my browser to the bookmark but the connection died.
And them good ol' techs were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day the boards die.
This will be the day the boards die.
Did you write the thread above?
And is your face in the book of Duh?
And Rich Pasma prattles so.
Now do you believe in click ‘n’scroll
Can Tortdog save your mortal soul?
And can you teach Bear how to type real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with Jim
'Cause I saw your flaming war with him
You both blew off the rules
And we all fell off our stools
There was a looney leftist baiting Hank
Who questioned conrad and drew a blank
But I knew that that was in the tank....
The day Pathfinder died.
CHORUS
Now for 4 years we've been on our own
Since Marcus left for parts unknown.
But that's not how it is at Time.
And then Dave became our king and queen But in that role he was seldom seen
And his posts they looked like yours and mine.
And when the King was lying down
Russell would up and torch the town
And on the boards they never learned.
Russell always would return
And while Fiat wrote a book on Marx
Sherrie practiced with her darts
And we all giggled in the dark
The day Pathfinder died.
CHORUS
Herb and Otis stuck it to the POTUS.
If Birdz was mean we didn?t notice.
Eighty threads and climbing fast.
Speedway landed on his ass,
Ray quoted laws already passed.
And history told by Kirk was just a gas. Now the warming earth was in review
While Regal said it wasn’t news.
We nearly pissed our pants,
When Dean did his colored dance.
And Algore tried to take the field,
The Texas Gov. refused to yield.
And we all argued if he didn’t steal,
To The day Pathfinder died.
CHORUS
Oh and there we were in cyber space,
With everyone pleading out their case,
And Y-Sam impeached Jackson once again.
So come on, Ricco’s nimble, Blue Lime’s quick,
McMurray is our nation schtick
And streamline is everybody’s friend.
Oh but when we read a spin doc’s phrase
Our answers would go on for days.
No campaign clerk could yell,
As loud or write so well.
But against the Nanny stood all of us,
The lame, the blind, the right wing nuts.
We're all bozos on this bus.
The day pathfinder died.
CHORUS
I met a girl with handle blue,
I asked about the folks we knew,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I clicked my bookmark where the board was found.
I searched and looked, and cruised around.
But the screen there said I’m sorry, page not found.
And on the net, some posters screamed
Some flamers died and the rest were steamed.
But none of them were jokin’,
The links had all been broken.
And the three that I admire most
Duh and Libby and the RR host
They’ve all gone somewhere else to post...
The day Pathfinder died.
So, bye, bye Mr. partisan guy
Point my browser to the bookmark but the connection died.
And them good ol' techs were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day the boards die.
This will be the day the boards die.
