  1. Happy New Year Guys -

    Tiddling on Tom's turf, old Edgy hedged:

    Quoted message said:

    one liners [sic] will not cut it here in the long run.

    Ah, but in the short run, they may be at least as amusing
    as seeing how many times one poster can screw up simple
    compound words; is he going for another record?

    Quoted message said:

    ... same old lame brain [sic] musings ... don't over do
    [sic] it ... nutty as a fruit cake [sic] ... Stern is
    a scum bag [sic - again] ...

    This newsgroup has seen typos, errors and misdemeanors -
    does this qualify as a compound felony?

    Quoted message said:

    Are you also a Jew scumbag?

    Can a compound word properly spelled be considered
    circumcised?

    Quoted message said:

    I do regard myself as worthy of being placed along side
    [sic - yes, yet again] all those King Edwards.

    Close, but no cigar...

    Quoted message said:

    I have been accused of being [a minor nuisance] myself
    from time to time.

    Who said "minor"?

    Quoted message said:

    I am the funniest guy I know.

    FUNNY: 1. Ha-ha. 2. EWW-WW! GROSS!

    - or -

    It's the internet; smell doesn't count. Maybe a JPG or an
    MP3 would help make the point?

    Quoted message said:

    We have a street here in town that is named Strait Avenue.

    Is that where all the gay bars are?

    Quoted message said:

    Learn how to read why don't you. [sic]

    Learn how to punctuate; why don't you? E.g.,

    Quoted message said:

    The world would be infinitely better off if [liberals]
    would like lemmings go to the sea and thereby perish.

    Liberals like lemmings, most go to the sea at some point
    in their lives, and sooner or later they all perish -
    though not usually by the sea. But hey - two and a half
    out of three ain't bad.

    Quoted message said:

    ... there are still some few souls on Usenet who do not
    think I am such a bad fellow.

    If this is the hidden clue to our mystery movie of the
    week, I'm guessing: Never So Few.

    Quoted message said:

    I NEVER [all caps sic] go to links referred to me by
    those I do not trust.

    Of course many net noodges don't realize that most
    websites they visit have simple monitors which create
    semi-permanent records of statistics for visiting surfers
    (including data such as their IP addresses) so that it's
    fairly easy for a website operator (like me) to see which
    pages have been visited from a given ISP and geographic
    area, like... oops, this is getting pretty long for a
    one-liner, isn't it?

    Quoted message said:

    I have a closed mind on the subject and I refuse to
    entertain any new thoughts on the matter.

    I believe that says it all; we'd like to thank Edgy for
    his participation, and if anyone wants any further input,
    we'll be real sure to send him an email. Anyone else -
    please feel free to add your own quick quips to this
    thread (off-topic, but apparently more and more mainstream
    lately). Have fun!

    Regards,
    Wayne

    Simple compound words are for simpletons like Wayne Leggett (LoGo). Great
    Ones like Ed Dolan are above and beyond such mundane considerations.

    Scum bag or scumbag - all one and the same. But Jew scumbags are the worst
    sort of scum bags as is well known. Ever hear of Howard Stern?

    Nay, we do not want to have any pictures on Usenet. That is the province of

    Nope, there is no way the Poet of [censored] can possibly write a message to
    newsgroup without referencing either sex or [censored].

    We do not have any Gays at all in my neck of the woods. That kind of thing
    is reserved for the likes of Wayne Leggett who knows about it and could no
    doubt tell us a thing or two about how that world functions. Poets are
    notoriously sissified if not actually gay.

    It is my impression that lemmings periodically go to the sea and drown, thus
    ridding the world of too many lemmings. If only liberals would go and do
    likewise.

    I can always count on Wayne Leggett to return to a source of inspiration,
    namely me.

    Great Ones like Ed Dolan use capitals whenever it suits their fancy.
    However, this is not for lessor mortals like Wayne Leggett.

    It will always pay anyone to view anything that the Great Ed Dolan has
    written, no matter the newsgroup. And it is all for free too.

    Emails will be ignored because Great Ones like Ed Dolan only write for an

    castigating my inferiors such as Wayne Leggett, the Poet of [censored].

  3. Hey guys -

    I think I'm beginning to see why Tom thinks this is so
    much fun. Thus queried Sorneye:

    Quoted message said:

    Prolix?

    Chinese clone of a yuppy wristwatch? Improved version of
    a popular over-the-counter ointment for delayed sexual
    gratification - with New Tongue Tingling Taste?

    He who has delusions of being above:

    Quoted message said:

    ... lessor mortals...

    Now seems to have found a new target for his vapid
    vitriol: those who lease property. Is nothing sacred?
    Maybe 'the funniest guy he knows' was trying to make
    a pun? I'd bet not, since he assures us in his own
    words:

    [quote="Quoted message"][I] am not capable of wit. Alas, I can only do low
    grades of parody.[/quote]

    How true! I'm thinking maybe F, at most D-minus. In any
    case it has to make you a little nervous when this
    greatest of all:

    Quoted message said:

    ... scoudrels [sic] who can't manage words...



    tells us he's thinking about:

    Quoted message said:

    ... castigating my inferiors...



    If anyone here ever expects to go on a ride with Edgy
    (rashly assuming that he ever does ride with real people
    as opposed to imaginary friends such as 'nget'😉, forget
    the helmet debate; think athletic cups!

    Quoted message said:

    We do not have any Gays at all in my neck of the woods.



    That's odd, since Gay is a fairly common name. Or did ol'
    Edgy capitalize the slang term for a male homosexual as
    a token of respect? Another little Freudian slip, maybe?

    Quoted message said:

    Perry Butler says something that intrgues [sic] me.
    Please go into some detail on how Ed Gin is compettive
    [sic] with me...



    He uses both i's when he's spell checking?

    Quoted message said:

    ... what I know about it all you could put in a thimble
    with room to spare.



    Hallelujah, brothers! Can I hear an 'AMEN!'?

    Quoted message said:

    Great Ones like Ed Dolan only write for an audience of
    hundreds.



    Wow! I know about 'nget', but I had no idea Ed's Multiple
    Personality Disorder had deteriorated into such a serious
    stage.

    Quoted message said:

    It amazes me that you and some others are not able see
    the situation as I see it.



    Isn't that very close to the classical clinical definition
    of insanity?

    He who has delusions of being above:

    Lesser, lessor, it is all the same to the Great One. But Wayne Leggett
    should always strive to be correct because he never has anything to say that
    anyone would want to read. When that is the case, then at least correctness
    can count for something, however minor.

    [quote="Quoted message"]Now seems to have found a new target for his vapid

    Nothing but a typo. I do not know why my spell check does not pick up stuff
    like this. An interesting thing about most typos is that they do not impede
    understanding at all. You really have to mess up a word before you cannot
    get its meaning.

  10. Hey team -

    He who claims one of his posts is "full of profundity"
    (though it's really just more prolixity) asks (maybe?):

    Quoted message said:

    Who should I ask pray tell. [sic]

    If Edgy meant to write "Who should I ask/pray/tell?"
    the answer is: Ask Jeeves; pray to God (whomever or
    whatever he thinks that might be) - but only tell it
    to your most intimate sexual partner (which of course
    for him is: the hand).

    Quoted message said:

    ... did I already say that once or twice before. [sic]

    No. Whatever 'that' was, most likely he's said it 365
    times or so within the last year. As a matter of actual
    record, he has posed this same query at least 15 times.

    Quoted message said:

    Today we have grown lazy and dependent and we want the
    government to do as much as possible for us... I want
    someone else who is expert in the [helmet] subject to

    We're sorry; the Prez may look into that very soon, but
    he's been a little confused lately since he fell off his

    DNA was still dancing naked in the moonlight during the

    "engaging in various housekeeping chores", and no sane
    person really believes that the actual human being

    Totally out of character, the TROLL actually used a
    question mark for this obviously rhetorical question;
    why is that I wonder?

    Did anyone else think Edgy is edging a bit closer to the
    brink of total irrationality when he posted (not a link
    but the entire text of) a very dull, very LO-O-O-ONG
    non-original poem, for no good reason that I could see,
    until I saw (another Freudian slip?) this stanza:

    Quoted message said:

    I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be[, but]
    one that will do [to] start a scene or two... Full of
    high sentence, but a bit obtuse... at times, the Fool.

    If he really hoped:

    Quoted message said:

    It might inspire [Wayne] to do what poets do best - to
    remind us of our mortality.

    Again, I have to wonder if he really, simply doesn't
    understand the difference between Edgar Poe and Edward
    Lear. Oh well, to remind him, I'm offering not one but
    five lines, inspired by the camel toe subtopic in the
    latest helmet thread, but trying to get a little closer
    back to the major focus of this newsgroup, of course:

    A woman, nude - RECUMBENT - on the bed,
    Her legs apart, grinned lewdly up at Ed.
    He blanched! Temptation reared its evil head...
    But nothing else came up. The lady said,
    "Oh, now I see why you have never wed."

    Keep smiling,
    Wayne

    unless you are bound by ego
    riding a bike is highly valued as a way to experience and sample the
    edo" - G. Daniels

    Speaking of the edo, I now have over 6000 posts to ARBR. And there is not
    one of them that is a one-liner. I am prolix if nothing else. Mr. Sherman
    should not have changed his email address like the gypsy that he is. But it
    doesn't matter, I was fated to overtake him in any event. No Dane can
    compete with an Irishman when it comes to garrulousness.

    I believe I will likely remain the all-time champion poster from a single
    email address to ARBR for some time to come provided I keep up the good work
    of course.

    Did anyone else think Edgy is edging a bit closer to the
    brink of total irrationality when he posted (not a link
    but the entire text of) a very dull, very LO-O-O-ONG
    non-original poem, for no good reason that I could see,
    until I saw (another Freudian slip?) this stanza:

    Quoted message said:

    I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be[, but]
    one that will do [to] start a scene or two... Full of
    high sentence, but a bit obtuse... at times, the Fool.

    No, No, it is too much! Here we have the ultimate idiocy, a total moron
    taking an editing pen to a masterpiece. It would be like me trying to
    improve upon Beethoven. It is just too much for a person to stand.

    Here is the complete stanza as it should be read:

    No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
    Am an attendant lord, one that will do
    To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
    Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
    Deferential, glad to be of use,
    Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
    Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
    At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-
    Almost, at times, the Fool.

    T.S. Eliot - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

    I posted this poem in its entirety because it is considered one of the 20th
    century's greatest pieces of verse. It is required reading in all English
    departments everywhere in the world. Classes of students will spend many
    weeks just dissecting this one poem and discussing it endlessly. It is very
    exciting to do this and most students love it.

    When I want someone to really read something important, I will not post a
    link. I will instead post exactly what it is that I want to be read.

    Wayne will never know how much I am laughing at him for thinking this poem,
    "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", is long and dull. Such stupidty is
    truly breathtaking. But it is always good to get the measure of a man.

    I grow old . I grow old .
    I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

    Guess I should have finished your post before firing off a follow-up.
    Are you now going to ask me to limit my responses to one per post?

    It does seem that Ed has lightened up on the ol' vino, perhaps given
    it up as he has stated. Most of his posts have a greater clarity than
    those leading up to his latest 'final farewell'.

    Heck (can you tell how tempted I was to use 'Hell's Bells' here?), I
    don't mind Ed when he's being close to civil. I only wish we had more
    active members in this group so his voice would be a smaller

    All that is ever required is that the relevant complete passages be quoted,
    something that you never do. I do that because I am not a scoundrel like you
    are.

    However, you should just do one of my posts at a time. More than one and we
    lose everyone, including me. But your damnable paraphrasing and selective
    quotations really turns everyone off. See how others post here and go and do
    likewise. I do not think you have the brains God gave you. What happened?
    Did you lose them doing drugs?

    style. Get used to it.

    Quoted message said:

    I do not consider those to be posts at all. Anyone but Wayne Leggett would
    know that [censored] deserves nothing but [censored] in return. Since that is what Ed
    Gin was doing, I returned the favor. But all of this is way too complex for
    a poor poet who has nothing but ass and sex on his pea size brain.
    [...]

    The rest of Wayne's message is nothing but garbage and I can't be bothered
    with it. He will have to learn to post here like everyone else. He ought to
    know that if I am not reading what he is writing, then that means no one is.

    One other thing - until he stops with the paraphrasing and the selective
    quotations, I will just resort to my usual mode of calling him out for what
    he is and let it go at that. Life is to short to waste on fools like him.
    Even NYC, a newbie to this group, knows how to write a post a hundred times
    better than Wayne. Heaven's to Betsy, if you are going to be a troll like
    Wayne, then at least try to be an amusing one. All those [ brackets ] are
    insane!

    I only use that on bona fide idiots. I may start using that on Wayne Leggett
    too if he doesn't learn to post properly.

    Wayne is not an idiot, but in some ways he is worse than an idiot. He knows
    better, yet he does it anyway - just to make himself look good. He has no
    regard for the reader at all. Even I find it difficult to read him.

    What is really strange is that he has an eye for what looks good in verse,
    but it is completely lacking when it comes to what looks good in simple
    written prose. Very strange indeed.

    A little emotional content goes a long ways on a group such as this. The

    All of my many final farewells have been about telling everyone to go to
    Hell. The clarity is crystal clear to all but the deaf and blind.

    It is good to be civil when others are also. However, when confronted with
    incivility, the best recourse is to get even more uncivil. Then when it gets
    really nasty, it is best to give them the old heave-ho with something like

    Have a look at the above mess as given by Wayne. All those brackets are
    insane. He is trying to paraphrase me but messing it up so badly that no one
    can make head nor tail out of it. He needs to stop with all the selective
    quotations and post like everyone else here does. He simply does not have
    the brains to know how to edit properly.

    Like all poets, Wayne Leggett is severely limited in general intelligence.
    He is like a musician that way. They only know one thing, however badly, and
    everything else in life is a mystery to them. He is a bit of a wordsmith,
    but that is all he is.
