Why don't you go visit your mom? Maybe she'd instill some sociability in
you.

Have I said something to offend you today?

I did!
I'm as sociable as they come.
Yes!


What did I say to you that was offensive, Don?

In my case, I'm infirm today and living in the bedroom.
Loose bowels? :)

Liver biopsy yesterday. They clipped a couple of nerves and it hurts
like hell.


You allow them to cut your liver, but won't allow the doctors to stick a
tube up your ass. The ass-scope would hurt much less. ;)


Actually, I was surprized at how easy and simple the whole procedure
was. In and out in nothing flat. Little slit, little CO2, snip, sewn
up and a short time recovering.

Pretty cool. Problem came later as the local wore off - move this way
or that way and I felt like I was being stabbed with a red hot poker.

But I feel MUCH bettererer this morning.


Quit thinking up excuses and get a colonoscopy.

Let me see if I understand this: The way Christmas is observed in
this country is in no way related to religion. It's all theatre and
commercialism. Millions of people never set foot in a church except
for weddings & funerals, and yet they "celebrate" by hanging lights
and spending money because they're being told to. Or, they're
afraid their kids will feel left out if they find out what their
friends got as gifts.

And you're focused on ONE strange observance of the holiday, a
parade in Florida? Are you drunk again?
Do you celebrate Christmas?
Interesting question. Why do you ask?
Just answer the question.

Tell me why you're asking, and I'll answer the question. Make sure it's
the real reason, or your fun's over.
What's the matter Dougie, you can't answer a simple question?

Just answer the question.



Your fun is now officially over. Even you don't know why you asked the
question.


My fun never stops when you are around.

Just answer the question.



You're sounding desperate. You must have a point to make, and I know what it
is. But, let's hear YOUR version.

zzzzzzzzzz......

Turn around, go out to the hallway, turn left, and go in the 4th door on the
right. That's the toddler class. Enjoy. Come back when you're big.

John, here's another eye witness to the same phenomenon;

a Protestant pastor "writhing and dieing on a cross" in a Christmas
parade in Central FL. Either Harry and this nice little old Episcopal
lady are in a conspiracy- or he really saw what he claims to have
seen.


http://1episcopalvoice.blogspot.com/...ntroversy.html

And the fact that there was a lot of negatives and controversy of this
one
case, tells me the JC on a Cross can not be a very common or even a rare
event at a Christmas parade. Especially since was the wrong time of
year
for the crucifixion.

That's three times for the episcopal in central florida.

Doesn't count.

I'm focused on nothing. It's Harry's story. I happen not to believe it.
You

Then, be quiet. Thank you.

Good luck.

Er, by the way, was it WinXP or Vista operating system? And don't
tell us it was Mac OS X based.

I took the family and out of town friends down to the Atlanta
Aquarium over Thanksgiving weekend. They had a large flat panel
screen of some reef fish. One screen had a Win error message on the
screen. I should have taken a photo.


Got proof?


No I don't, but you can call the Georgia Aquarium at 404-581-4000, they
will probably be able to tell you what OS they use also. It was at the
entrance to the Ocean Reef display at about 1:30 pm.




I'm not that interested in you, Atlanta, or the aquarium, since you're
just another of the anonymous a**holes who plague this newsgroup.


Harry, why did you ask him about proof, and then come back with this
garbage after he was kind enough to give you the information to answer your
request?
