I respect and admire Mr. SWilson's grammar. So much so that I've now
written *two* entire posts about him tonight.

And how do you know? Have you ever shot heroin in a dumpster?

I have, and I'm here to tell you that the bullets just scatter the
powder everywhere.

Ah. Same feeling I get when I lose a game of Uno to my six year old. IOW,
losing at some things is proper. ;-)

Someone brought (dry) smoked salmon into the office today. Great flavor. Do
you think smoking eliminates the chemicals the fish picked up in Lake
Michigan???

Where did you think the smoke comes from? ;-)

Could you distinguish Chevy, Ford, Chrysler?

Yes, but then it adds the chemicals that have been bio-accumulating over
the past few decades in the trees of Michigan.

He does have a wife! She works at an M&M factory.

I'm pleased to see you no longer top-posting. Maybe you'll snip a

Not only that, but she's the Lead Proofreader on the production line.
That means we get all of the Ws, Es, and 3s that they would otherwise

Y'all are overlooking the possiblilty that there *is* a rule and a sign and
all that, *and* that it is ridiculous.

Maybe the rule is for the benefit of the mylar balloon vendor in the gift
shop. Or some well meaning clueless person heard about latex allergies and
decided there needs to be a rule. Or maybe it is for the benefit of the
nurses who have developed a sensitivity to latex from years of occupational
exposure to it and have now managed to get a "latex free zone".

Not all that new. I think the procedure has been around for ten years
or so, but it's just recently become affordable. There's a doctor in
my town who'll do the procedure for $299 per eye, but you have to have
a coupon.

(smile) I think the joke was it's not Latex, but Lisix or something
like that.

Silly Kevin, obfuscating again.

It's not exactly keeping score. See, for every post you make to
alt.religion.kibology, Kibo will donate 32 cents to the Bill Gates
Turkey Gravy Soda Foundation, which, among other things, funds new
hairpieces for impoverished children suffering from dropsy.

It's because Kevin has decided that he is going to "show" us "what trolling really
is" since we don't use the term correctly. He no longer has any real interest in
this newsgroup, as a barbecue newsgroup. I'm *not* totally convinced that some of
our recent visitors are not actually put up to it by Kevin. Of course, I will be
asked to provide proof, but this is just an idea that I came up with when I read
several of his recent posts. It's *my* opinion that I might change, or I might
not

Yup.

Will you be taking that mind-reading act on the road anytime soon?
Say, to the county fair?

>I'm *not* totally convinced that some of

Guilty as charged. I followed up to a crossposted thread with some
silly nonsense, and folks from other groups just about tripped over
themselves to correct me. (Or do you mean the people from
alt.religion.kibology? They don't need any coercion or encouragement;
all they need is a whiff of the chum in the water.)

Um . . . okay.

>It's *my* opinion that I might change, or I might not

It's also my opinion that you might change or might not.
