ZOMG PONIES!!!1

Not getting recognized by you lot definately counts as a blessing.

For sustained pondering, I recommend typing "Robyn Hilton" into Google Images. My own favorite line that movie was Gene Wilder's... *Recalling his violent days as the quickdraw gunslinger, "The Waco Kid", he leans his chair back and looks into the distance.* "I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille."

Oh I thought you said random vacuum flatulance. btw you one of ours? *stares suspiciously* </font>

Nutty tasting sprout.

What brought that on? Or should I say up? Michael </font>

Someone owes GJK 50 bucks...

I was online and reading the day JJR suddenly and inexplicably got a burr up his rear end over some neutral or even sympathetic comment Michael made to him in the midst of a maelstrom of negative comments of the usual sort he had a habit of provoking in the General Forum. Why JJR latched on to MD as the one to badger and belittle out of everybody is a mystery to me, but it seems to me to have lead to his undoing here.

Indeed, "friends", nothing about this pale clone of the original was to be taken seriously.

Goodbye, "Friend". It's interesting that he still fawns on you JJ, though this might be just a part of his ruse.

Come on fhqwhgads... I see you jocking me! Trying to play like... U No Me! I don't know who it is... But it probably is fhqwhgads. My nomination for TtE's Theme Song

Speaking of which... NIGEL SHIFTRIGHT. Now there was a good comic. "Some old coot in an MG was firing darts at me!" - 'Baron von Stockbroker', BMW driver, to traffic cop.

Reminds me of Car and Driver (or is it Road and Track?) and their reader-submitted mail section of the magazine. Man of Few Words (MOFW).

Hi, Ma and Grandma! Wish I had a .sig as big as war's.

From a 14,000-er no less! Anyway, just to chime in with my $0.02, this is indeed a big non-starter as, furthermore, Adm. Canaris was feeding the Spainards with the straight dope: that Hitler's vaunted war machine lacked the economic moxie behind it needed for staying power and that the mind behind it all was erratic. Hitler definately tried to tempt Franco into becoming a full-fleged Axis flunky, but Franco shrewdly responded with a list of demands and conditions so long that Hitler was to remark he'd rather visit the dentist than Franco ever again!

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and drops excriment all over the place like a duck, is it a duck?

*clears throat* VE Day was 8 May, 1945. The plutonium implosion bomb principle was tested 16 July 1945. A bit late, no? http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Tests/Trinity.html I don't recall when they first had enough metallic U-235 to make one gun-type bomb. But I doubt it was even in April '45. As it was, LeMay was asked to curb his firebombing campaign in order to leave some cities intact to drop the atom bombs on. When you think about that, the minor role the bomb played in the greater scheme of the war really sinks in. Of course, it was of great importance for everything afterwards.

Are you serious? What would be the point of that?</font>

How about these two counterfactuals put together? 1) Earlier closing of the Falaise Gap. (But just how much more complete a victory would this have been? The ramifications?) 2) Horrocks cuts off the line of retreat of the 15th Army prior to Market Garden. I'm recalling Horrocks saying after the war that in hindsight this missed opportunity was his greatest blunder. I think (2) would have been of greater impact. That could have made Mardet Garden much easier to pull off and made a clearance of the Scheldt to make Antwerp usable unnecessary (and Antwerp would have been vital to fully exploiting a sucessful Market Garden).

The Bard sayeth... We have seen the legions of sad ghost-hacked (sock) puppets. I ask, who or what is the Puppet Master?

Yep, someone has a lot to answer for with the introduction of id, the squareroot of minus one! But then again, I just prefer to take out my frustrations out on my fellow cesspoolers. Mace </font>

So you haven't advanced to the level where you need to take off your socks to continue counting? </font>

Hating and baiting Michael Dorosh. It's the hottest growth industry of the 00's.

Aaaaaahhhhh, but he's a mathematician! I think we should keep him so he can tell us of mathematical things like klein bottles and stuff! Mace </font>

JJ, you keep getting caught in the situation of coming to the rescue when things get out of hand and playing favorites when one side butts up against another. Let's not beat around the bush. SCers get the kid gloves on your fora, while CMers and Cesspoolers in particular often got the knife soon after any disagreement arises. If you want to play the role of Alex, you need to instill a little more discipline amongst your droogs.
