Golf course geese are usually good eating but they may be fatty. Try to limit them to once a week. I tried a goose once, in Germany where they're common at Christmastime. (Gosh, I hope my mention of Christmas didn't **** off anyone.) Anyway, it was atrocious. My kid took the first bite, which she spit out. I sent her to her room. I then took my first bite, which I spit out. So, I called my daughter, apologized for trying to make her eat the stuff, and we had hamburgers for Christmas dinner. Some years ago, my wife and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in New Orleans. The concierge at the little hotel where we were staying recommended a Thanksgiving holiday buffet at one of the old, famous New Orleans hotel restaurants, I forgot which one. Anyway, we went. The food was indeed fabulous, everything beautiful and properly prepared. There was a roast goose there, so I asked one of the servers to slice off a piece for me. It looked okay and it smelled okay, but I didn't care much for the taste. To me, it tasted overly fatty and gamey. That was the first and only time I tried roasted goose. The hotel where we have always stayed in New Orleans: http://www.lerichelieuhotel.com/ If you like reasonably small hotels with real furniture in the rooms and no cookie-cutter-ness anywhere, this is the place to stay. Free parking on site, too, and within walking distance of a lot to see. Harry, do you feel a strong need to reply to every post I may make? I don't like hotels. I don't like bed bugs. I don't like dirty beds. I enjoy my RV, and get a lot of use from same. Just think.... $1500. Not a bad little sum. Just for acting somewhat mature. You could probably do it. Hehehe. All the cheap skates aren't on hockey players, eh, herring? The idea of traveling on the road all day and then spending the night in a little sardine can camper...naw. Sorry, Herring, not interested in your bet. Here's another reason why: there are many ways for you to wiggle out of it. Not with Tim holding our money, Harry. John, I could very easily refrain from insulting anyone here, directly or, as you do it usually, indirectly. Unlike you, I am in control of myself. If I were making such a bet, I wouldn't need Tim to hold my money or yours. You know where I live and I know where you live. I'll make you a counterbet. I'll bet you I can refrain from making a negative comment about any poster here for, say, two weeks. You can bet me I can't do that. At the end of the two weeks, if I have fulfilled the bet, you can send me $1500 cash. If not, I'll send you $1500 cash. By cash, I mean cash, genuine cashier's check, postal money orders... of the realm. That's the entire bet. Take it or leave it. What you do in that two week period or beyond is up to you and not part of the bet. I don't give a flying **** how you behave here. Accept or reject. Gee, two whole weeks? Wow. You're really sure of your capabilities, aren't you? Here's my counter-counter bet. We put up $1500, the money to be held by Tim. We eackh refrain from making negative comments about any other poster here for, say, until we can't control ourselves any longer. The first person to lose control and make a negative comment loses the bet. Tim sends the $3000 to wherever the winner chooses. Put something on the line besides your big mouth. Sorry, Herring...I'd only go for a fixed time period. You think two weeks is too short? Fine. Make it a month. And the bet is on my behavior, not yours. As I stated, I don't give a **** how you behave. You're free to do as you wish. The bet is on how I behave. As I said earlier, accept or reject. And I don't need Tim to hold your money or mine. If you lose I would expect you to pay up, directly. If you reject, which I am sure you will do, just move on with your moronic bets and continue to behave like the asshole you are. Accept or reject. Simple. Pffftt. Yeah, when someone was going to hold the money, you were absent. Now that you will be able to weasel out of paying, you are up for a bet all of a sudden... Right... Sorry, little ****, but I stated prior to your announcement regarding Tim I had no need of Tim holding "the bets." Herring seems hell-bent on "controlling" my behavior here with a bet. I, on the other hand, don't give a **** how he behaves here or anywhere else, so there's no reason for me to place a bet on how he behaves. My bet makes it real easy on him. I either don't insult anyone here for a month, in which case he loses, or I do insult here, in which case he wins. It's not dependent upon anyone else. Why are you getting into this? You couldn't raise $1500 cash to save the life of a blood relative. |

Sorry, bub, but as much as I dislike herring, I do believe he has the integrity to pay off on this bet if he takes it, which I doubt he will. I wouldn't trust a turd like you to go to the store for me with $2.00 and come back with a set of shoelaces. Oh...without getting into houses, one of which is in NE Florida and I own solely (and is worth three times what you claim yours is worth), I am one of three partners in a very successful strip shopping mall on the Boston Post Road in Connecticut. I've mentioned this before. It's the former boat store property. It is "worth" many many times what your one bathroom house with the motorcycle in the kitchen is worth. Oh, wait, I forgot...I also inherited a two bedroom condo in southeast Florida north of Ft. Lauderdale where my mother lived in her retirement and where two of my aged aunts now live. I have no idea what that place is worth; the aunts have lived there for nearly 18 years rent free. It's probably worth what you claim your house it worth. Oh...it has two bathrooms and no motorcycles in the kitchen. Have a nice day, little man. Oh...and get a job. |

You should see the mess they've made of the fairways at the golf course. This year seems much worse than I've seen it before. I've hit one with a ball and and I know a few others that have too. I hope you killed it. And, I hope it wasn't swimming at the time. That could cost a stroke. There's no amount of dead geese worth a penalty stroke. That is one advantage of not keeping score. ;-) The only rule about killing a goose is someone should dress it out and eat it. Waste not, want not. Golf course geese are usually good eating but they may be fatty. Try to limit them to once a week. I tried a goose once, in Germany where they're common at Christmastime. (Gosh, I hope my mention of Christmas didn't **** off anyone.) Anyway, it was atrocious. My kid took the first bite, which she spit out. I sent her to her room. I then took my first bite, which I spit out. So, I called my daughter, apologized for trying to make her eat the stuff, and we had hamburgers for Christmas dinner. Some years ago, my wife and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in New Orleans. The concierge at the little hotel where we were staying recommended a Thanksgiving holiday buffet at one of the old, famous New Orleans hotel restaurants, I forgot which one. Anyway, we went. The food was indeed fabulous, everything beautiful and properly prepared. There was a roast goose there, so I asked one of the servers to slice off a piece for me. It looked okay and it smelled okay, but I didn't care much for the taste. To me, it tasted overly fatty and gamey. That was the first and only time I tried roasted goose. The hotel where we have always stayed in New Orleans: http://www.lerichelieuhotel.com/ If you like reasonably small hotels with real furniture in the rooms and no cookie-cutter-ness anywhere, this is the place to stay. Free parking on site, too, and within walking distance of a lot to see. Harry, do you feel a strong need to reply to every post I may make? I don't like hotels. I don't like bed bugs. I don't like dirty beds. I enjoy my RV, and get a lot of use from same. Just think.... $1500. Not a bad little sum. Just for acting somewhat mature. You could probably do it. Hehehe. All the cheap skates aren't on hockey players, eh, herring? The idea of traveling on the road all day and then spending the night in a little sardine can camper...naw. Sorry, Herring, not interested in your bet. Here's another reason why: there are many ways for you to wiggle out of it. Not with Tim holding our money, Harry. John, I could very easily refrain from insulting anyone here, directly or, as you do it usually, indirectly. Unlike you, I am in control of myself. If I were making such a bet, I wouldn't need Tim to hold my money or yours. You know where I live and I know where you live. I'll make you a counterbet. I'll bet you I can refrain from making a negative comment about any poster here for, say, two weeks. You can bet me I can't do that. At the end of the two weeks, if I have fulfilled the bet, you can send me $1500 cash. If not, I'll send you $1500 cash. By cash, I mean cash, genuine cashier's check, postal money orders... of the realm. That's the entire bet. Take it or leave it. What you do in that two week period or beyond is up to you and not part of the bet. I don't give a flying **** how you behave here. Accept or reject. Gee, two whole weeks? Wow. You're really sure of your capabilities, aren't you? Here's my counter-counter bet. We put up $1500, the money to be held by Tim. We eackh refrain from making negative comments about any other poster here for, say, until we can't control ourselves any longer. The first person to lose control and make a negative comment loses the bet. Tim sends the $3000 to wherever the winner chooses. Put something on the line besides your big mouth. Sorry, Herring...I'd only go for a fixed time period. You think two weeks is too short? Fine. Make it a month. And the bet is on my behavior, not yours. As I stated, I don't give a **** how you behave. You're free to do as you wish. The bet is on how I behave. As I said earlier, accept or reject. And I don't need Tim to hold your money or mine. If you lose I would expect you to pay up, directly. If you reject, which I am sure you will do, just move on with your moronic bets and continue to behave like the asshole you are. Accept or reject. Simple. Pffftt. Yeah, when someone was going to hold the money, you were absent. Now that you will be able to weasel out of paying, you are up for a bet all of a sudden... Right... Sorry, little ****, but I stated prior to your announcement regarding Tim I had no need of Tim holding "the bets." Herring seems hell-bent on "controlling" my behavior here with a bet. I, on the other hand, don't give a **** how he behaves here or anywhere else, so there's no reason for me to place a bet on how he behaves. My bet makes it real easy on him. I either don't insult anyone here for a month, in which case he loses, or I do insult here, in which case he wins. It's not dependent upon anyone else. Why are you getting into this? You couldn't raise $1500 cash to save the life of a blood relative. Wanna bet? How about your home against mine. Mine just appraised at 240,000 and is paid for... Got a house to put up, or are you just making **** up again...? Monopoly, right here in River City! What's next for you, Scotty? Measuring the length of your penis and comparing it to the others? |

Be that as it may, none of that trading had anything to do with the investments of retiree funds the company handled. Not a single dollar was "bilked" from any "ULLICO retirees."

Another example of those evil, greedy corporations. Oh wait, sorry, not evil. You work(ed) for them. ----------------- Oh my, this narrative sure sounds different from yours. I guess it's a matter of whose ox got gored: Incorruptible labor legends Samuel Gompers and George Meany must be spinning in their graves. After becoming the first president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1886, Mr. Gompers founded the Union Labor Life Insurance Co. (now the major subsidiary of the ULLICO holding company) in 1925 in order to provide affordable insurance and other financial services to union members. Mr. Meany, who became the first president of the merged AFL-CIO in 1955 and served in that capacity for a quarter-century, worked inexhaustibly to eliminate corruption within the labor movement — which included expelling the Teamsters from the AFL-CIO in 1957. That same year, the AFL-CIO adopted a rule mandating the expulsion of any union official invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid scrutiny in a corruption case. Last week, former ULLICO Chairman and CEO Robert Georgine took the Fifth during a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing. The committee is investigating a massive ULLICO insider-dealing scandal that has engulfed many of organized labor’s most powerful bosses, including Morton Bahr (president of the Communications Workers of America), Douglas McCarron (general president of the carpenters) and Martin Maddaloni (president of the plumbers and pipe-fitters). Mr. Georgine himself headed the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department from 1974-2000. It was during the end of his tenure at the AFL-CIO that Mr. Georgine enticed numerous of his ULLICO board colleagues and officers into a secretive surefire get-rich-quick scheme that eventually netted the self-dealers nearly $14 million in profits. The ULLICO scandal can be traced to its early investment in Global Crossing, the same once-high-flying-now-bankrupt telecom that turned a $100,000 investment by Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe into a $18 million pot of gold. Like Mr. McAuliffe, the labor leaders cashed in their Global Crossing-related profits before the firm went over the cliff, taking $50 billion worth of other shareholders’ investments with it. In February 1997, the privately owned ULLICO invested $7.5 million in the predecessor firm of Global Crossing, which went public in September 1998. By 1999, ULLICO’s investment in Global Crossing was worth well over $1 billion, and it became the driving force behind ULLICO’s share price, which was adjusted annually to reflect its net worth. With Global Crossing’s stock price soaring throughout 1998 and 1999, ULLICO’s share price would be adjusted accordingly, a process that occurred each May based on ULLICO’s book value on Dec. 31. In 1998 and 1999, Mr. Georgine secretly offered directors and officers exclusive opportunities to purchase a total of 8,000 shares of ULLICO stock before the annual adjustment of its stock price was made. (Union pension funds, which held the vast majority of ULLICO’s stock, were virtually shut out of the surefire get-rich-quick scheme.) In a Dec. 17, 1999 confidential memo, for example, Mr. Georgine offered the union directors and officers the opportunity to purchase 4,000 shares of ULLICO stock at $54 per share. Global Crossing closed at $52.56 (nearly two-and-a-half times its year-earlier price of $22.50) on Dec. 16, 1999, the day before Mr. Georgine wrote his confidential memo. Thus, it was a certainty that ULLICO’s share price would soar when it was reassessed two weeks later. As it happened, the ULLICO shares purchased for $54 jumped in value to $146 after the annual share-price adjustment. In March 2000, however, Global Crossing’s stock price began to fall. By December 2000, it had plummeted below $15 a share. Global Crossing’s collapse would adversely affect ULLICO’s share price in a very big way. (But, not to worry if you were a ULLICO officer or director.) During December 2000 and January 2001, ULLICO repurchased more than 200,000 shares from its union-boss directors and officers at $146 per share. Shares purchased by the bosses a year earlier at $54 were redeemed at $146, yielding a profit of nearly $100 per share, even though Global Crossing’s share price had plunged, necessitating a huge markdown in ULLICO’s share price. Mr. Georgine netted a pre-tax profit of $840,000, while Mr. McCarron collected $420,000. Mr. Maddaloni reportedly pocketed nearly $250,000. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney was a member of ULLICO’s board, but he did not participate in the self-dealing. As the scandal progressed in recent months, Mr. Sweeney played an important role, with mixed success, in pressuring directors and officers to return their ill-gotten gains. But where was he when the skullduggery was taking place? As a board member, he almost certainly had to know about Mr. Georgine’s scheme long before it became public during the spring last year. Why didn’t Mr. Sweeney blow the whistle on this corruption? After all, it was Mr. Sweeney who declared: “Enron exposed what many of us have been saying: The boards of directors that are charged with acting in the interest of investors and the public are riddled with greed, self-dealing and plain selfishness.” As Damon Silvers, the counsel to ULLICO’s new chairman and an associate general counsel of the AFL-CIO, told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, “Our company was the victim of serious misconduct during the period from 1998 to 2002.” Where was ULLICO board member John Sweeney from 1998 through the better part of 2002 as his fellow board members were looting his company at the expense of union pension funds? Some answers would be welcome. |

We can only guess who's money he's been spending on boats, decks, and gas grills lately. Probably got his mits into all that payoff money Obama gave the labor unions and auto manufacturers retirements fund payoffs... Listen up, Scotty Ingersoll. I know you are dumber than a pile of dog ****, and I know you've seen this before, but obviously you didn't understand it. *No* retiree whose retirement was in any way secured by ULLICO's investments of pension funds lost a penny of their retirement's value or income because of alleged "insider" stock transactions. Members of the ULLICO board of directors and a few very senior staff people (and I was not part of either of those groups) were allowed to purchase and sell shares of ULLICO stock. Some of them made serious dinero over what could have been called insider stock trading, if ULLICO had been a publicly owned company. But, ULLICO was and is a closed corporation whose shares are closely held, mostly by those in the pension fund business. Those who made those profits shouldn't have done it, even though the firm's outside counsel said they could, and they had to pay back the profits they made. Be that as it may, none of that trading had anything to do with the investments of retiree funds the company handled. Not a single dollar was "bilked" from any "ULLICO retirees." Another example of those evil, greedy corporations. Oh wait, sorry, not evil. You work(ed) for them. ----------------- Oh my, this narrative sure sounds different from yours. I guess it's a matter of whose ox got gored: Incorruptible labor legends Samuel Gompers and George Meany must be spinning in their graves. After becoming the first president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1886, Mr. Gompers founded the Union Labor Life Insurance Co. (now the major subsidiary of the ULLICO holding company) in 1925 in order to provide affordable insurance and other financial services to union members. Mr. Meany, who became the first president of the merged AFL-CIO in 1955 and served in that capacity for a quarter-century, worked inexhaustibly to eliminate corruption within the labor movement — which included expelling the Teamsters from the AFL-CIO in 1957. That same year, the AFL-CIO adopted a rule mandating the expulsion of any union official invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid scrutiny in a corruption case. Last week, former ULLICO Chairman and CEO Robert Georgine took the Fifth during a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing. The committee is investigating a massive ULLICO insider-dealing scandal that has engulfed many of organized labor’s most powerful bosses, including Morton Bahr (president of the Communications Workers of America), Douglas McCarron (general president of the carpenters) and Martin Maddaloni (president of the plumbers and pipe-fitters). Mr. Georgine himself headed the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department from 1974-2000. It was during the end of his tenure at the AFL-CIO that Mr. Georgine enticed numerous of his ULLICO board colleagues and officers into a secretive surefire get-rich-quick scheme that eventually netted the self-dealers nearly $14 million in profits. The ULLICO scandal can be traced to its early investment in Global Crossing, the same once-high-flying-now-bankrupt telecom that turned a $100,000 investment by Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe into a $18 million pot of gold. Like Mr. McAuliffe, the labor leaders cashed in their Global Crossing-related profits before the firm went over the cliff, taking $50 billion worth of other shareholders’ investments with it. In February 1997, the privately owned ULLICO invested $7.5 million in the predecessor firm of Global Crossing, which went public in September 1998. By 1999, ULLICO’s investment in Global Crossing was worth well over $1 billion, and it became the driving force behind ULLICO’s share price, which was adjusted annually to reflect its net worth. With Global Crossing’s stock price soaring throughout 1998 and 1999, ULLICO’s share price would be adjusted accordingly, a process that occurred each May based on ULLICO’s book value on Dec. 31. In 1998 and 1999, Mr. Georgine secretly offered directors and officers exclusive opportunities to purchase a total of 8,000 shares of ULLICO stock before the annual adjustment of its stock price was made. (Union pension funds, which held the vast majority of ULLICO’s stock, were virtually shut out of the surefire get-rich-quick scheme.) In a Dec. 17, 1999 confidential memo, for example, Mr. Georgine offered the union directors and officers the opportunity to purchase 4,000 shares of ULLICO stock at $54 per share. Global Crossing closed at $52.56 (nearly two-and-a-half times its year-earlier price of $22.50) on Dec. 16, 1999, the day before Mr. Georgine wrote his confidential memo. Thus, it was a certainty that ULLICO’s share price would soar when it was reassessed two weeks later. As it happened, the ULLICO shares purchased for $54 jumped in value to $146 after the annual share-price adjustment. In March 2000, however, Global Crossing’s stock price began to fall. By December 2000, it had plummeted below $15 a share. Global Crossing’s collapse would adversely affect ULLICO’s share price in a very big way. (But, not to worry if you were a ULLICO officer or director.) During December 2000 and January 2001, ULLICO repurchased more than 200,000 shares from its union-boss directors and officers at $146 per share. Shares purchased by the bosses a year earlier at $54 were redeemed at $146, yielding a profit of nearly $100 per share, even though Global Crossing’s share price had plunged, necessitating a huge markdown in ULLICO’s share price. Mr. Georgine netted a pre-tax profit of $840,000, while Mr. McCarron collected $420,000. Mr. Maddaloni reportedly pocketed nearly $250,000. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney was a member of ULLICO’s board, but he did not participate in the self-dealing. As the scandal progressed in recent months, Mr. Sweeney played an important role, with mixed success, in pressuring directors and officers to return their ill-gotten gains. But where was he when the skullduggery was taking place? As a board member, he almost certainly had to know about Mr. Georgine’s scheme long before it became public during the spring last year. Why didn’t Mr. Sweeney blow the whistle on this corruption? After all, it was Mr. Sweeney who declared: “Enron exposed what many of us have been saying: The boards of directors that are charged with acting in the interest of investors and the public are riddled with greed, self-dealing and plain selfishness.” As Damon Silvers, the counsel to ULLICO’s new chairman and an associate general counsel of the AFL-CIO, told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, “Our company was the victim of serious misconduct during the period from 1998 to 2002.” Where was ULLICO board member John Sweeney from 1998 through the better part of 2002 as his fellow board members were looting his company at the expense of union pension funds? Some answers would be welcome. That impugns Harry's integrity. It can't be true. |

I hope you killed it. And, I hope it wasn't swimming at the time. That could cost a stroke. There's no amount of dead geese worth a penalty stroke. That is one advantage of not keeping score. ;-) The only rule about killing a goose is someone should dress it out and eat it. Waste not, want not. Golf course geese are usually good eating but they may be fatty. Try to limit them to once a week. I tried a goose once, in Germany where they're common at Christmastime. (Gosh, I hope my mention of Christmas didn't **** off anyone.) Anyway, it was atrocious. My kid took the first bite, which she spit out. I sent her to her room. I then took my first bite, which I spit out. So, I called my daughter, apologized for trying to make her eat the stuff, and we had hamburgers for Christmas dinner. Some years ago, my wife and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in New Orleans. The concierge at the little hotel where we were staying recommended a Thanksgiving holiday buffet at one of the old, famous New Orleans hotel restaurants, I forgot which one. Anyway, we went. The food was indeed fabulous, everything beautiful and properly prepared. There was a roast goose there, so I asked one of the servers to slice off a piece for me. It looked okay and it smelled okay, but I didn't care much for the taste. To me, it tasted overly fatty and gamey. That was the first and only time I tried roasted goose. The hotel where we have always stayed in New Orleans: http://www.lerichelieuhotel.com/ If you like reasonably small hotels with real furniture in the rooms and no cookie-cutter-ness anywhere, this is the place to stay. Free parking on site, too, and within walking distance of a lot to see. Harry, do you feel a strong need to reply to every post I may make? I don't like hotels. I don't like bed bugs. I don't like dirty beds. I enjoy my RV, and get a lot of use from same. Just think.... $1500. Not a bad little sum. Just for acting somewhat mature. You could probably do it. Hehehe. All the cheap skates aren't on hockey players, eh, herring? The idea of traveling on the road all day and then spending the night in a little sardine can camper...naw. Sorry, Herring, not interested in your bet. Here's another reason why: there are many ways for you to wiggle out of it. Not with Tim holding our money, Harry. John, I could very easily refrain from insulting anyone here, directly or, as you do it usually, indirectly. Unlike you, I am in control of myself. If I were making such a bet, I wouldn't need Tim to hold my money or yours. You know where I live and I know where you live. I'll make you a counterbet. I'll bet you I can refrain from making a negative comment about any poster here for, say, two weeks. You can bet me I can't do that. At the end of the two weeks, if I have fulfilled the bet, you can send me $1500 cash. If not, I'll send you $1500 cash. By cash, I mean cash, genuine cashier's check, postal money orders... of the realm. That's the entire bet. Take it or leave it. What you do in that two week period or beyond is up to you and not part of the bet. I don't give a flying **** how you behave here. Accept or reject. Gee, two whole weeks? Wow. You're really sure of your capabilities, aren't you? Here's my counter-counter bet. We put up $1500, the money to be held by Tim. We eackh refrain from making negative comments about any other poster here for, say, until we can't control ourselves any longer. The first person to lose control and make a negative comment loses the bet. Tim sends the $3000 to wherever the winner chooses. Put something on the line besides your big mouth. Sorry, Herring...I'd only go for a fixed time period. You think two weeks is too short? Fine. Make it a month. And the bet is on my behavior, not yours. As I stated, I don't give a **** how you behave. You're free to do as you wish. The bet is on how I behave. As I said earlier, accept or reject. And I don't need Tim to hold your money or mine. If you lose I would expect you to pay up, directly. If you reject, which I am sure you will do, just move on with your moronic bets and continue to behave like the asshole you are. Accept or reject. Simple. Five years, Harry. Go for it. Just to make it easy, we'll say 31 December, 2015. That gives you a few free weeks. He has to live that long. He'll weasel out. |

I hope you killed it. And, I hope it wasn't swimming at the time. That could cost a stroke. There's no amount of dead geese worth a penalty stroke. That is one advantage of not keeping score. ;-) The only rule about killing a goose is someone should dress it out and eat it. Waste not, want not. Golf course geese are usually good eating but they may be fatty. Try to limit them to once a week. I tried a goose once, in Germany where they're common at Christmastime. (Gosh, I hope my mention of Christmas didn't **** off anyone.) Anyway, it was atrocious. My kid took the first bite, which she spit out. I sent her to her room. I then took my first bite, which I spit out. So, I called my daughter, apologized for trying to make her eat the stuff, and we had hamburgers for Christmas dinner. Some years ago, my wife and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in New Orleans. The concierge at the little hotel where we were staying recommended a Thanksgiving holiday buffet at one of the old, famous New Orleans hotel restaurants, I forgot which one. Anyway, we went.

It looked okay and it smelled okay, but I didn't care much for the taste. To me, it tasted overly fatty and gamey. That was the first and only time I tried roasted goose. The hotel where we have always stayed in New Orleans: http://www.lerichelieuhotel.com/ If you like reasonably small hotels with real furniture in the rooms and no cookie-cutter-ness anywhere, this is the place to stay. Free parking on site, too, and within walking distance of a lot to see. Harry, do you feel a strong need to reply to every post I may make? I don't like hotels. I don't like bed bugs. I don't like dirty beds. I enjoy my RV, and get a lot of use from same. Just think.... $1500. Not a bad little sum. Just for acting somewhat mature. You could probably do it. Hehehe. All the cheap skates aren't on hockey players, eh, herring? The idea of traveling on the road all day and then spending the night in a little sardine can camper...naw. Sorry, Herring, not interested in your bet. Here's another reason why: there are many ways for you to wiggle out of it. Not with Tim holding our money, Harry. John, I could very easily refrain from insulting anyone here, directly or, as you do it usually, indirectly. Unlike you, I am in control of myself. If I were making such a bet, I wouldn't need Tim to hold my money or yours. You know where I live and I know where you live. I'll make you a counterbet. I'll bet you I can refrain from making a negative comment about any poster here for, say, two weeks. You can bet me I can't do that. At the end of the two weeks, if I have fulfilled the bet, you can send me $1500 cash. If not, I'll send you $1500 cash. By cash, I mean cash, genuine cashier's check, postal money orders... of the realm. That's the entire bet. Take it or leave it. What you do in that two week period or beyond is up to you and not part of the bet. I don't give a flying **** how you behave here. Accept or reject. Gee, two whole weeks? Wow. You're really sure of your capabilities, aren't you? Here's my counter-counter bet. We put up $1500, the money to be held by Tim. We eackh refrain from making negative comments about any other poster here for, say, until we can't control ourselves any longer. The first person to lose control and make a negative comment loses the bet. Tim sends the $3000 to wherever the winner chooses. Put something on the line besides your big mouth. Sorry, Herring...I'd only go for a fixed time period. You think two weeks is too short? Fine. Make it a month. And the bet is on my behavior, not yours. As I stated, I don't give a **** how you behave. You're free to do as you wish. The bet is on how I behave. As I said earlier, accept or reject. And I don't need Tim to hold your money or mine. If you lose I would expect you to pay up, directly. If you reject, which I am sure you will do, just move on with your moronic bets and continue to behave like the asshole you are. Accept or reject. Simple. Five years, Harry. Go for it. Just to make it easy, we'll say 31 December, 2015. That gives you a few free weeks. Yeah, I figured you wouldn't really have the stones. *I* wouldn't have the stones? You're admitting you lack the maturity and discipline to control your behavior for a decent amount of time? No, Herring, I was simply declaring you haven't the stones to back up your mouth, as it were. And I also had stated earlier I wasn't interested in negotiating with you. It was a take or or leave it. You left it. If I had your maturity, discipline, and integrity, I'd have chosen the same course you did. Herring, I'll be glad to refrain from making negative comments about other posters here...forever. As soon as I receive and cash your check for $1500 Ball's in your court, ****head. Go for it... ...or not. Ah, I suppose I should believe you. After all, you've given no reason for anyone here to doubt your integrity. But damn...'forever'? Hell, five years would have been plenty. |

At the end of the two weeks, if I have fulfilled the bet, you can send me $1500 cash. If not, I'll send you $1500 cash. By cash, I mean cash, genuine cashier's check, postal money orders... of the realm. That's the entire bet. Take it or leave it. What you do in that two week period or beyond is up to you and not part of the bet. I don't give a flying **** how you behave here. Accept or reject. Gee, two whole weeks? Wow. You're really sure of your capabilities, aren't you? Here's my counter-counter bet. We put up $1500, the money to be held by Tim. We eackh refrain from making negative comments about any other poster here for, say, until we can't control ourselves any longer. The first person to lose control and make a negative comment loses the bet. Tim sends the $3000 to wherever the winner chooses. Put something on the line besides your big mouth. Sorry, Herring...I'd only go for a fixed time period. You think two weeks is too short? Fine. Make it a month. And the bet is on my behavior, not yours. As I stated, I don't give a **** how you behave. You're free to do as you wish. The bet is on how I behave. As I said earlier, accept or reject. And I don't need Tim to hold your money or mine. If you lose I would expect you to pay up, directly. If you reject, which I am sure you will do, just move on with your moronic bets and continue to behave like the asshole you are. Accept or reject. Simple. Five years, Harry. Go for it. Just to make it easy, we'll say 31 December, 2015. That gives you a few free weeks. Yeah, I figured you wouldn't really have the stones. *I* wouldn't have the stones? You're admitting you lack the maturity and discipline to control your behavior for a decent amount of time? No, Herring, I was simply declaring you haven't the stones to back up your mouth, as it were. And I also had stated earlier I wasn't interested in negotiating with you. It was a take or or leave it. You left it. If I had your maturity, discipline, and integrity, I'd have chosen the same course you did. Herring, I'll be glad to refrain from making negative comments about other posters here...forever. As soon as I receive and cash your check for $1500 Ball's in your court, ****head. Go for it... ...or not. Ah, I suppose I should believe you. After all, you've given no reason for anyone here to doubt your integrity. But damn...'forever'? Hell, five years would have been plenty. Forever, Herring. As soon as I get your check. Go ahead, pussy out. Psst, Harry, YOU are the one that pussied out. Let's try again, with that I'm loogy ****. You put up $500, I'll put up $500 and I'll prove who I am. If I'm loogy, you get the $1000, if I'm not, I get it. THAT is how a wager works. Care to try? Wow. Loogy the Spoofer changed his handle to Spooker. Well, into the trash you, Loogy Spooker. Just for the record, Loogy Spooker, I don't care whether you are Loogy or the result of parthenogenesis from the leftovers of one of Alice B. Toklas' brownies. You're still the same sort of stupid piece of ****. You remind me and others of Loogy. That's good enough, Loogy Spooker. Now, buh-bye. |

They do. I work at an airport where they have hired the feds as hitmen. They spray the eggs so that new generations don't hatch and for the ones that don't get it, they carry 12 gauge finalizers...... A goose poops like an elephant.... No ****. No - lots of ****. You should see the mess they've made of the fairways at the golf course. This year seems much worse than I've seen it before. I've hit one with a ball and and I know a few others that have too. I hope you killed it. And, I hope it wasn't swimming at the time. That could cost a stroke. There's no amount of dead geese worth a penalty stroke. That is one advantage of not keeping score. ;-) The only rule about killing a goose is someone should dress it out and eat it. Waste not, want not. Golf course geese are usually good eating but they may be fatty. Try to limit them to once a week. I tried a goose once, in Germany where they're common at Christmastime. (Gosh, I hope my mention of Christmas didn't **** off anyone.) Anyway, it was atrocious. My kid took the first bite, which she spit out. I sent her to her room. I then took my first bite, which I spit out. So, I called my daughter, apologized for trying to make her eat the stuff, and we had hamburgers for Christmas dinner. Some years ago, my wife and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in New Orleans. The concierge at the little hotel where we were staying recommended a Thanksgiving holiday buffet at one of the old, famous New Orleans hotel restaurants, I forgot which one. Anyway, we went. The food was indeed fabulous, everything beautiful and properly prepared. There was a roast goose there, so I asked one of the servers to slice off a piece for me. It looked okay and it smelled okay, but I didn't care much for the taste. To me, it tasted overly fatty and gamey. That was the first and only time I tried roasted goose. The hotel where we have always stayed in New Orleans: http://www.lerichelieuhotel.com/ If you like reasonably small hotels with real furniture in the rooms and no cookie-cutter-ness anywhere, this is the place to stay. Free parking on site, too, and within walking distance of a lot to see. Harry, do you feel a strong need to reply to every post I may make? I don't like hotels. I don't like bed bugs. I don't like dirty beds. I enjoy my RV, and get a lot of use from same. Just think.... $1500. Not a bad little sum. Just for acting somewhat mature. You could probably do it. Hehehe. All the cheap skates aren't on hockey players, eh, herring? The idea of traveling on the road all day and then spending the night in a little sardine can camper...naw. Sorry, Herring, not interested in your bet. Here's another reason why: there are many ways for you to wiggle out of it. Not with Tim holding our money, Harry. John, I could very easily refrain from insulting anyone here, directly or, as you do it usually, indirectly. Unlike you, I am in control of myself. If I were making such a bet, I wouldn't need Tim to hold my money or yours. You know where I live and I know where you live. I'll make you a counterbet. I'll bet you I can refrain from making a negative comment about any poster here for, say, two weeks. You can bet me I can't do that.
