Model Forum / General / Railroads / September 2008The BIG one - I've been shot
Regular readers will remember that I promised you all a BIG one. At last I've managed to sum up the courage to publish this photo. Some say you will need a sick bag to view this one - and they are just the kind ones! Here it is http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p52922253.html Having asked you to send in your various captions after I've posted photos of our members (and visitors) I must now stand in the firing line myself. So this is the next 'caption competition'. I know I probably don't have to tell you that you can be a rude as you like. I'll publish the ones that are suitable for general consumption with the final one being posted to the site. This time the decision is *mine* P.S. Don't forget that Broke Brick Mountain and The Ashley, Danville and Deanstown layouts are at Firle Village hall, East Sussex on Monday 25th August (which just happens to be my birthday!!)

Gibbet's don't "twist slowly in the wind" since they tend to be attached by a short series of links to the gibbet post. They may sway in the wind, but twisting is a degree of freedom denied to them.

Well, I can spell "thought". > Yet every time you open your > gob to declaim, you end up inserting your foot in the orifice. Does that > explain why your voice is muffled when you sit down? Poor sad little jealous Brit. Your eglatatian idea that anyone who dares to stand above the crowd should be cut down to size is one that doesn't fly here in the States: ask any of the hundreds of thousands of talented folks from Britain who emigrated over here, where we admire and reward those who are well above average, and don't put up with bullshit like class limitations on how far you're allowed to rise in society or on the pay-scale. (And those Brits have almost universally done quite well here, thank you.) The fact that your social, political, and taxation systems have chased *huge* numbers of your best and brightest to other lands where they can acheive their potential without limits -provided only that they're willing to work hard- largely accounts for the position you now find yourselves in: I.E. a country that doesn't work very well since most of it's smart folks left. So rave on, little man. Nobody with more than three functioning neurons cares what you think or say, and unless you can come up with something a lot more sensible -or even just plain more entertaining- than you have so far, I doubt I'll even bother to read your posts. > (Hint: When you fail to understand what commonly hangs from a gibbet > and "twists slowly in the wind" -and then try to make fun of another > poster because *you* didn't understand the allusion- you aren't making > *him* look bad.) Other than gibbets is there anything else you don't understand? Have you actually seen a gibbet or a gibbet post? Perhaps you should learn the difference between a gibbet and the gallows.

Okay, let's see about those, shall we? Functions to date: successful (A) instructor at the University of California, (B) musician, (C) luthier, (D) graphic artist, (E) live music radio show host, (F) investor. Communications: Successful freelance *and* technical writer. See also "musician" and "graphic artist", above. Retired at age 56 to my hilltop home where I do pretty much exactly what I want to do, all day and every day. So you were saying? > I know some seriously *odd* people with > *very* high IQs. "Odd* in this context simply means that you don't understand why they do what they do. And this is not surprising. > The very fact you are boasting about it on usenet makes me think you might > just be the sort of person I'm thinking about... Sorry, but "boasting" is unprovoked egoboo. I was simply replying factually to the poster who was trying to be clever by suggesting that model railroaders are universally dumb.

The only thing that can matter is how one reacts to one's peers. And you're not doing very well in that respect all.

"They" being who, exactly? Mensa? TNS? An independent cognitive psychologist? Or The Usenet Troll School of Self-Declared Makey-Uppy Qualifications? It's a pretty unremarkable score but I'd still like to see if you can back up the claim. Who conducted the test and when? Please scan the certificate or letter confirming the result and post a link here. It shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of such a talented man. > "They" being who, exactly? Mensa? TNS?

The most significant achievements of "Twibil The Big Giant Brain" are to construct things from matchsticks and to play with toy trains. Making up IQ scores or repeating what he was told by the Scientologists is hardly unusual behaviour for the self-deluded.

Well, he is a taxi driver, so it is more nearly on topic in uk.transport than most of Doug's posts. Colin Bignell How about "c.nt"? Having experienced similar comments & remarks about some of my posts on other groups & forums I was in two minds about getting involved in this but :- 1) Mike, I am sure, does not need me or anyone else to fight his corner for him 2) If you don't like Mike and / or his posts why read them ? He is however a regular contributor to the group. 3) To me Mikes posts and his website take a slightly different slant on the 'normal' model rail site. Different in a good way. 4) His posts are a bit of harmless fun .... the man has a sense of humour ..... not to some peoples liking but ! 5) Do the people think for one moment their use of profanity will stop Mike posting in the future ?

He is > > however a regular contributor to the group. > > No he's not. Never seen him before. Nor you either. Got it now .... you're a TROLL ! I found this description of one of these strange, to me, creatures :- " If you've spent any time in chat rooms, bulletin boards or posting on Usenet you may have already come across one of these troublesome creatures. Often suffering from a mutant strain of compulsive posting disorder, a troll's basic mission in life is to mischievously manufacture inflammatory opinions in an attempt to stir up disharmony and discord. The most common breed of troll seeks attention by enthusiastically posting up a stream of drivel or by being clumsily provocative. Ignore them. The worst thing you can do is to try and engage them in rational debate as this only encourages them to hang around. And once they find themselves the centre of attention, they inevitably become more and more 'controversial' before building up to a crescendo of abuse, followed by a theatrical flounce. But these are mere bagatelle compared to the Nasty Troll. Like an unruly two year old in a perpetual temper tantrum, these destructive keyboard bullies want to break everything and spoil everyone's fun. A Nasty Troll has no redeeming features whatsoever and they'll employ every dirty-no-good trick in the book in their tedious quest to wreck an online community. This usually includes hurling around oceans of gratuitous abuse and defamatory comments, all delivered via a range of anonymous identities - with a few forged ones thrown in for good measure. Sharp eyed bulletin board editors can usually ban 'bad bwoy' trolls before they can cause too much trouble, but on unmoderated newsgroups the damage can be terminal, with some communities giving up in the face of relentless attacks Although an audacious and cunning troll can sometimes earn the begrudging respect of its target audience, such levels of sophistication are rarer than a Swansea City goal, and for most people trolls are an irritation they could live without.

So this is the next 'caption competition'. Staff of the Natural History Museum investigate claims that "the missing link" has been found alive in uk.transport. A spokesman said "There may even be a number of adults and juveniles in some kind of social or family group. The really exciting news is that they posses what we would recognise as rudimentary language skills. It seems they must have had contact with higher humans sometime during the Anglo- Saxon period but then withdrew into the denser forested areas. They obviously do not have the brain capacity to develop the language further. It seems that the ongoing march of development, possibly linked with global warming, has brought them out into the open again". |
