Blimey!

If we just edge the picnic table a little way over this way, we can watch both threads from here.

Anyone want anything to throw?

"no big deal" was meant in sort of an historical or cosmic sense. It's always best to take the long view. This is just an ongoing annoyance.


But there's a package for me at the post office I think it might be that first edition of The Treason of Isengard from Abebooks.

If you wouldn't mind pushing me up there you can use the blades on my wheels to slice those tomatoes.

*push* *shove* *push*

Thanks kea , but the real life thing called beer dragged me away Make that wine an Ben, there's a good lass?

On a slightly more serious note, in t'other thread, our new dipstick claimed English as its first language (I'm sure that's not spelt rightly). Given the presentation, do we think its a) very young, but has picked up the gist of some long words, or b) adult but went to an inter-city comp?

it is, dear.

My guess is very young, there is a certain puppyish charm to him. Mind you, he *is* subscribed to this thread, so we shouldn't talk too loudly behind his back.

Want something to eat to go with that?

B

adult but went to an inter-city comp?



one love

Wassup, blicky?

(Want some or some ?)

B

>> adult but went to an inter-city comp? <<

yeah blicky, those are the places where they train people to be content with their station in life.

(Quick Ben, push faster!)

No ta dear, makes the ale taste funny.

It is possible to be adult and go to an inter-city comp. Hard work, but possible.

Why, is she going to birth another thread?

Wha'ppen sister.

Time for this little badger to climb the wooden hill.

Just got a job in an inner city comp and happen to have been educated in one (well when I was there or bakers cut bakcs werent closing the schools through strikes or just plain closing the school). Anyway I'm going to leave Kerr alone tonight.

one love

Ah. No offence meant auld Blicky, just an off-the-cuff remark.

I'm sure there's some admirable inter-city comps. Not to mention admirable comps in general. I was just relying on sterotypes for a cheap joke, sorry an' all that.

i am an adult who had very little education as a child.
mostly self taught, but have some skills in MCP MCSE, managment and care in the community.

i do have a puppy ish quality, but normally only women and queers think that.

i still have the ruling vote though. i earn more money.
i can hire more staff. i can in essence pay for my will to be conducted exactly as i wish.

also i have spent most of my adult life with the love of a wonderfull woman.

i may be a moron, but i have a rich and fruitfull life.

if i do die, then i bet my epitaph will be better than thao.

and just to put the boot in, i am in the world top 15% of contributers to the seti at home program, which i feel is important to humanity.

"i am in the world top 15% of contributers to the seti at home
program, which i feel is important to humanity."

Which means, in my experience, that you have an unloved computer that doesn't get enough use.

I think your puppyish GiGGY and Im not a woman or on the other bus...,but hey life is about new experiences so who knows for the future.

one love

Indeed Blicky. I would type that sign, but I think my entire family would ex-communicate me So I'll go for-

"Peace, and long life"

Dear anhaga,
I'm not disturbed by racialist ideas in LOTR. The good guys occupy the northwestern corner of the world, surrounded by sea. Mordor controls the ways further south from Minas Tirith and east from Mirkwood. Sauron is a a twisted Maia, a fallen angel, who will do anything to get revenge on those he hates. If the Southrons and the Easterlings work for Sauron, it seems to me only because he has seduced them, controls the information they get about his enemies, and considering what would happen if to their countries if they p*ssed him off, they might think it smart not to irritate him. They are effectively slaves.

I feel we shouldn't worry about the uses people may have for Tolkien's work, to support their own mental sickness of race hatred. They had no problem managing to support it a hundred years before LOTR, and no doubt will contine doing it forever.
