This is the only newsgroup I've ever been in where a post meant to be
funny - penguin on a polar sleeping polar bear with cymbals, can turn
into a discussion about (1) penguins can't fly (2) penguins aren't
located at the North Pole (3) Pigs can't fly either.

It is crazy the way NG threads take on a life of there own, but it has
been a problem with Usenet since it's creation. I am sure you have seen
this joke before.

Question: How many subscribers to a newsgroup does it take to change a light
bulb?

Answer: 275

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

27 to flame posters for spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing
light bulbs

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

44 to ask what is a "FAQ"

2 to post reasons why the light bulb burning out is the result of a
government conspiracy

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

43 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs"

8 to accuse posters of being pedophiles

6 to file abuse reports on posters for posting off-topic

20 to accuse the OP of being a troll

1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months later and start the whole
thing all over again!!!!!!

Yeah - I have. Slightly different, but essentially the same.

Even after all these years, it still amazes me.

Nah - I have a ton of things I have to do this weekend - a little
SWMBO stuff and some brush clearing. Maybe head up to the lake this
evening, but that's unlikely.

Maybe Monday or Tuesday - go chase some albies.

Today is a wheelbarrow day. Carrying a couple yards of topsoil to the back
yard in the hopes I can get a decent lawn back there. It's something I go
through almost every year. It never works, but I keep hoping. The trouble
is the nine big oaks in the back yard. I'm on a 1/3rd acre lot, so that
will give you an idea of why I can't get grass to grow well back there.

But, it keeps me off the streets!

Adding the front yard will get me up to twelve big oaks, a magnolia, and a

It's the local culture.

Due to the procalimed intent of certain posters, the negligence of a
few others, and miscommunication between most of the rest the
"interpersonal" cyber relationships between posters to rec.boats are
generally very tense indeed.

There's an element of trust that needs to be in place before humor can
evolve, especially when that "humor" involves personal remarks about
other posters. Not the case with the polar/penguin deal, but you
launched it into this environment and the result isn't all that
surprising.

This is a pretty funny group- that is if you consider watching people
beat each other up over everything in sight entertaining. Certain
people do, and their influence is pervasive here.

yard in the hopes I can get a decent lawn back there. It's something I
go
through almost every year. It never works, but I keep hoping. The
trouble
is the nine big oaks in the back yard. I'm on a 1/3rd acre lot, so
that
will give you an idea of why I can't get grass to grow well back
there.

But, it keeps me off the streets!

Take it to rec.gardens, Mr. Hypocrite.


I figured you'd crosspost it over there anyway.

Harry has you well trained in the calling of names, doesn't he?

This has nothing to do with Harry. You ask people to do certain things,
but
you do the opposite. I'm stating a fact. You are a hypocrite.


This appelation is due to my name-calling? My cross-posting? My political
or religious flame fest initiations?

No. It's due to your endless whining about OT posts and your endless
recommendations that certain discussions be taken to other newsgroups. But,
you seem OK with posting OT crap yourself.

Hypocrite.

You want a real laugh (though it may make you puke, too), go back to any
couple of days in which Herring, Smithers, BAR, Dan, or any of the other
useless a**holes here have a relatively high number of posts. Count up
their on-topic posts (few and far between) and their posts in which they
try to insult other posters. I would bet the latter, the insults, far
outnumber the on topic posts. Herring, for example, typically had
something snotty to post against certain other posters, no matter what
the subject of the post, and "Reggie," in his entire existence here, has
added virtually nothing original to the newsgroup dataset. Then you have
the absolute pigs, like Dan and BAR, who are still in teh seventh grade.

Have fun. If you dare.

Actually not. I saw JohnH's post when Don posted his reply to it and find
no humor in it.......an adult man posting profanities here including the "f"
word and calling folks retards and morons.

Here it is again if you missed it:

They were simply expanding on your humorous post. Please don't take it
personally and start calling them goddamned morons or ****ing retards!

My good friends brother suffers from Down Syndrome. He has celebrated his
50th birthday but will soon be leaving us and meeting his maker.

Calling people retarded is a low blow to folks with brothers, sisters, sons
and daughters suffering through those symptons. This includes folks
choosing to call someone here "retardo"...........(did you hear me Harry?)

I did not find JohnH's post funny in any way. In fact it was something I
would expect from a 12 year old.




Actually, for that very reason (and I said so), I changed Reggie's
official last name to Re-TURD-o. I figured the turds of the world would
welcome him, and they have.

9/22/07 The narcissistic asshole finally admits he reads all of the
post and has an empty killfile!

That's the first step, Harry! Good boy!

At some point, you should install a spell checker so you don't post
something like you did here ever again. You look dumber than usual.


Cheers!
Dan

Ouch, relax man.. It was two weeks ago. Anyway, today is not a fishing
day, it is a stable day. It's no fun outdoors if there ain't no poo on
yer shoe ;)

OT, sometimes. Political/religious trolls for flamefests? Show me.

You know there's a difference between a post about your weight, and a post
about Clinton or Bush. Don't pretend otherwise.

Call names, Doug. Show Harry what a hero you can be!

That's not an insult...that's a representation of hope for this country
and what it used to stand for. Fewer modern, hard-right evangelical
Republicans and more moderate, reasonable, centrist Republicans...means
forward motion for the country.

Where've you been? Have you not seen the phrase 'Reggie Retardo' used over
and over by your hero? Where was all your 'concern' about your good
friend's brother?

Be careful, Doug may call you a hypocrite!
