Patch Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Originally posted by Abbott: [serious] Patchy, I apologize if you thought I was referring to you as a bitch, that was not the case. I actually thought you were a man and a Lawyer for some reason which gave double the bite as I am not to fond of Lawyers. However Nidan1 does seem to shine a light where Lawyers are concerned. Good luck with your photographs. My apologies. Nick Abbott [/serious] Thanks for the apology. I've been mistaken for a man before. It happens in the Cesspool. It's kind of hard to see in all the muck. No I'm not a Lawyer....Lawyer is the Lawyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grow gooseberries, red currants, pink currants, white currants, black currants, red raspberries, black raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and grapes. Are grapes a berry? Yum!

Joe First off, I don't remember it being a hard slam. Maybe my skin, like my ankles, is too thick to be overly bothered by these things. But I know the point you're making. The thing that bothers me the most, however, is that my name is included not only in the same post as his name, but in the same paragraph! *shudders* Joe Shaw, have you no mercy? </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugged Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: I don't imagine that much has changed either; farmers are still at the mercy of the elements. Thankfully, though, due to genetic modification of foods, farmers have more of an edge now than in the 1800s. Now, some seeds and plants are stronger and more resistant to disease. If GM foods were around way back then, I might not be in Canada, Joe might not be in the US and I might not have family in Australia. Hmm, fancy that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 If GM foods were around way back then, I might not be in Canada, Joe might not be in the US If it actually worked that way. Cascading changes mean that one relative doing something different in the 1800s means that the likelihood of great greats never meeting is increased, ditto greats, or someone along the line, and quite simply, Joe Shaw is never born. Oh. The humanity. The odds against all his predecessors displacing across the ocean to the same place and hooking up with the same people is ...well bad example; pick a family not known for their inbreeding, I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 And here we see the violence inherent in the system. I am but a man ... granted a man possessed of qualities not normally seen in ordinary men. A man called to greatness, a man OF the hour, much like Old Tom Fool of VMI who became, in the right hour and at the precise place ... Old Blue Light, Stonewall Jackson. But still ... a man. A man who, when called by his sacred DUTY to perform his appointed task, hesitated not an instant but leapt to the task come what may. And, by so doing, placed myself in the sights of those men who skulk about in gillie suits, those men who have no honor, no dignity and no DUTY. But I do not complain, not even when ATTACKED by one who HAS honor and dignity and a sense of duty. Attacked by the one I would defend. Not even when the attack was in the form of a viciously repeated calumny of dubious veracity with, and this is key, NO PHOTOS! Silverware indeed ... And Grog Dorosh, after I took pity on him and actually called him ... ON MY DIME ... to interview him for the podcast. Oh he was all sweetness and light THEN, he was complimentary THEN, butter woudn't have melted in his mouth THEN. Do I belittle him because he is Canahockian ... well, I do but that's completely different. I think the legal term is Lhasa Apso or somefink.

Joe Shaw Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 MrSpkr has returned, and just in time to give CMSF the benefit of the sceanario design firm of Ker Dessel*. It'll be like old times buddy ... except that it is, of course, new times and new game. I've got an idea though, what do you know about the Syrian Girl Scouts ... I'm thinking of this one scenario where the US storms into this village and ... <small> they probably think we're joking ... but we're Ker Dessel* ... we go where others fear to tread!</small> The Arab Region of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts has 13 Member Organizations. There are 160,000 Girl Guides in the region today. The Arab Region also has 5 Countries Working Towards Membership (Iraq, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, Palestine). Joe * Ker Dessel - When it's called a setup for a reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
