<p>Sharp as a bowlingball.</p>
<p>FS and CGM arguing. This thread has stooped to truly unprecedented lows.</p>
<p>ilovebeer, </p>
<p>Back to your first love, you’re getting ornery again.</p>
<p>Putting aside the question of Westmoreland’s faith, if you’re co-sponsoring a bill, doesn’t it behoove you to study up on the key elements? Like what the Commandments say.</p>
<p>If you don’t know, or can’t remember, most of them, how could you discuss why they’re important? Not boning up on these is, at the very least, a sign of being ill-prepared. I’ll bet there are 10,000 Sunday school kids from his district alone who could held a better discussion on the subject.</p>
<p>Dadguy,</p>
<p>Again, I agree with your post. Probably, ADD or Booze, what else could explain it–under a Wiccan spell?</p>
<p>A good brew is a joy forever. “Ornery” eh? Looks like you have been getting back to the thesaurus. Anyway, how can you disagree with what I said?</p>
<p>
No, it’s nice to those so disposed and sadly endures as no more than a piisser; in short, it suits you. </p>
<p>As for “ornery,” you need either a mentor or editor to become familiar with the working end of the term (neither of which seems evident in your posts); however, that being the case, a cheap dictionary will do, sudsmen.</p>
<p>
It looks like I am not the one who needs the dictionary.</p>
<p>
Yea I am impressed by your editing skills, which seems to be limited to using a comma quite a few times.</p>
<p>“Ornery” is not as pompous as it sounds. It is merely an informal adjective that denotes bad-temperedness and combativeness. </p>
<p>I am a logophile, and have been involved in many disputes over the meaning of terms and my excessive use of esoteric ones. I am not impressed by the random insertion of such esoteric terms for the purpose of affecting intelligence. Rather than fawn in the presence of wiseacres, I am truly impressed by those who can use esoteric terms where they are apposite: in places where their particular meanings are demanded. Substituting “utilize” for every instance of “use” only threatens to confine the definition of the former to that of the latter.</p>
<p>"I think in the context of displaying a document, or replica, of historical significance which is accepted by all as a basis for the creation of our country and our laws by our founding fathers, it is appropriate to display the Ten Commandments along with the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and other historically important documents.</p>
<p>Yes, but WHICH 10 Commandments? The Egyptian morality code or the set inscribed on the tablets and set in the Ark itself, which (the 8th commandment) call for the decapitation of unredeemed donkey children?</p>
<p>ILAGB,</p>
<p>Try spelling the following word correctly in your next post and see what happens wordsmith: piisser</p>
<p>Get it, slugger?</p>
<p>P1sser. Wasn’t so hard was it sweetheart? Put that thesaurus to work eh?</p>
<p>Hadnt really considered p-one-isser. Having up until now confined my writing habit to the actual letters in the alphabet your innovation at first glance seems messy; clearly, I hadnt considered the audience for this sort of fancy numerology amongst esoteric medievalists and jubilant drunks. </p>
<p>I stand corrected.</p>
<p>It is scary that a congressman would blindly support a bill that they don’t understand…that they will push an agenda they haven’t read…that they will vote for something they are clueless about</p>
<p>bet that hasn’t happened much lately</p>
<p>Offering complimentary copies ot “USA Today” at the local pub, I suspect.</p>
<p>
A skill you haven’t quite mastered yet.</p>
<p>You know what, I take back what I said about CGM and FS. Nothing can top the above posts.</p>
<p>FS, you’re killing me and your opponent. lol.</p>
<p>I am not even sure what FS meant…it is connected HOW?</p>
<p>If FS doesn’t have a point to make, she uses big words, convulted logic, and very strange metaphors, allusions, and references to distract that she has no point</p>
<p>Tis fine with me</p>
<p>For us to be opponents, we would have to be in the same game, and I don’t think we are</p>
<p>Sometimes being smart means being able to convey a message that makes some sort of sense</p>
<p>In message board speak, this big word, convoluted circumlocution is called “word salad”. FS has already labeled me as “sharp as a bowling bowl” for pointing this out. I found that endearing. </p>
<p>Somewhere in those tossed salad messages, I usually find her point, but she must have missed clarity of expression in Dartmouth English 101.</p>

<p>Thanks for the youtube link. I thought it was mildly amusing until Samuel L. Jackson appeared as the burning bush. Then I was ROTFLMAO!! Thanks.</p>
