This Is A Boring Newsgroup

Around here, our bass mommas give up their eggs in late May or early June. I caught this confused specimen, sitting on a bed, in the second week of July - that is damned strange for these parts.

Sometimes boors can be quite entertaining -- well,in a crude and oafish way. Their attire does tend to provide 'fair warning', however -- they wear boormuda shorts in inappropriate places.

A boor is not necessarily a bore; but, frequently he _is_ a bur.

If you prefer, we can discuss the distinction between being 'a cad', and 'caddy'.

Don't forget, a person who gets impaled by the tusks of a male pig is boared.

Corporations like Enron, Adelphia, MCI, get into trouble because all their directors are bored members.

Not to mention that if the aforementioned pig, in a fit of tedium, stuck his tusk through a plank used for entering a ship, you would then have a bored-boar-bored boarding-board.

Does that help clear things up? Or is it like the overly-successful anti- H-bomb rally? At which there was a profusion of confusion?

OK. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. It was a joke.

I am humbled. I have posted dozens of messages here. They have included OT, On Topic, advice, humour and not a little foul language.

Apparently Tom Watson has read none of them, or he would know me.

I have had a most unpleasant private post from Tom. I am assuming that was NOT a joke, or it could have been posted in public, along with a lot of the other chaff that goes on here.

Tom. You made a joke about how quiet the group was. I thought I would fix that.

IT WAS A JOKE. I am sorry I offended you.

I will leave it at that, but I really have to wonder at the thin skin of the group, considering the sort of stuff that floats around here. AS A JOKE.

OK. On reflection, I will assume that the private email that I received from "Tom Watson", implying fisticuffs should I ever get near enough, was a malicious joke, and that he was not simply publicly seeming to be a nice guy, and dong his knuckle-dragging in private, in order to protect his net image.

Well my joke part was my own cussing... no offence... Alex

gotcha

(btw - id'a used a tubfour on your sorry butt - it'd a been a nice walnut one though)

Damn.... Now that's what I call diplomacy in action........;-)

Go to your room.

While sitting around singing Kumbaya?

"There! Much better.."

Oh hell yes!

And I know all the words.

'course there's only about three words.
