Que? Yeah I know, but I'm an incurable typo pouncer. Please excuse my
lameness. Anyway, yes, he will take a pass, and he will stir up people
desperately trying to expose his factual incorrectness, and they will
overstep the bounds of plausibilty, and we will have more bull****.

The posers who post here wish they could ski anytime they wanted, and
rag
on those of us who can.

You and I are going to differ on this, and that's okay. But in the
words of Janis Joplin: "Freedom's just another word for nothing left
to lose." And you can see how far that got her.

Well, Kris Kristofferson actually. Janis too, but Kris wrote it.

Good catch. Okay: Heroin overdose or starring in "Convoy" with Ali
McGraw. I'm not sure which is worse.

Not entirely sure what you are asking here. When did he do it? Got me, I'm
not really that big a Kris fan. I'm almost certain the song is about 10
years older than Convoy. MAybe more, now that i think about it, Janis was
dead about 7 years before Convoy and I don't think it was particularily new
when she covered it. Did Kris do a heroin overdose? Suppose I could google
it but maybe someone else is curious enough to do that.

Wait till Scott takes a round through the que.

Why? Who cares?

Well, nobody, actually, but some of us wonder what a que is.


A misspelling of the word queue. ( I think thats close)

I guessed that might be it, but then "takes a round through the que"
seems even more problematical.

Well, Jeffy and I disagree on the premise that living in a ski town is
*all
that*, and I wasn't suggesting you apologize for *everything* (and
there's
been some doozies like "sucrotic vs sucrositic") I'm just saying the
snowbank/elevation comparison between your house and downtown
Jackson is a bit of a cheap shot.

Take elevation and all that out of it. I was comparing where he lived
and claimed I didn't have what it takes to live, to where I
lived. Simple as that. Some other folks ran with it, but that's the
way the world twists.

Well, they should probably apologize as well. And I'm fine with your
comparison, and Jeffy should probably have known that, for as
bitchin'
as a guy can be on usenet, there's always someone who can do you
one better. Another reason I try to leave my situation out of these
sort of arguments.



It's about
where you live.

Well yeah. I can look out my livingroom window and tell you that. But
I'm not going to gloat. It's ungentlemanly and characteristic of
those
I like to make fun of.

There you are wrong again. You can't gloat because I would never live
there. Not my style. Just like you would not live where I do. Like
you'd **** in an outhouse. Posting pictures and talking about what you
enjoy about where you are or what makes it hard is not gloating. And
if I claimed you lived in the desert and didn't know what water was,
and you posted a picture of a lake out your door, that would not be
gloating. If I said your wife was ugly and you posted a picture, that
would not be gloating. Telling others they don't have what it takes,
is. See the subtle difference?

In the 12-15 years I've been reading your posts on usenet, I've kinda
noticed maybe a small pattern of gloatishness. Perhaps I'm projecting.

BTW, I'd love to see pictures of your
house and out your window. And your wife is ugly.

Meh. Best to leave people guessing, they'd just photochop the
pictures to make fun of me. I mean I would. And it's against my
nature, which is kinda secretive. I should be more open. But I'm not.

And I could post up the things that I enjoy or make my life hard, but
the things I enjoy are most peoples' nightmares, and my problems
are trivial nothings compared to what many people face. And there's
confidentiality, man. And uncertainty. And real life problems.

Really, it's best that I restrict myself to making rude comments to
Horvath.

Jeffy could do that. And it would elevate him. There is no dishonor
in
apologizing when you know you have rubbed people the wrong way,
or made an unfair comparison in an attempt to expose them for what
they are.

But you know, Jeffy is what he is. Behaving like him isn't going to
change him.

Maybe not, But when you teach kindergarten, you don't quote
Sartre. You have to talk to them in a way they understand. The other
methods have been tried. Did that work? It's not like reasoning
works. So far nothing has worked.

I think there's hope for Jeffy. And I think there would be a lot more
if there weren't so many people hanging on his every word, looking
for
a way to prove him factually wrong. It's like a disease that people
get
when they spend time on usenet. Snipe. Snipe. Snipe. It's not a
surprise that he's become combative.

Jeff has certain flair for hyperbole, and a looseness with language
that
makes him easy to disagree with, but does that make him a bad
person? On usenet it sure seems to.

And don't think I'm singling you out here, klaus, cause I'm really
talking to the whole cast of idiots here. Let's show people a little
more
love and understanding when they make their cries for attention.

Scott has an obvious agenda and
pulls the less.. hmmmm.. what's the right word.. uninformed, into his
little web, to tag team with him by making them feel they are also
victims, making himself feel justified. It's a nasty circle. And Jeffy
has played that part to a T. People tried to reason with him, but that
won't go very far, because Jeff has his own issues. Scoot has no shame
or sense of propriety. I was hoping Jeff did. Looks like I was
wrong. So I guess I'll come clean and apologize. I'm sorry Jeff. I
don't have what it takes to live in Jackson. I could never live within
ten minutes of a KMart.

There you go. And Jeff, unlike klaus, I have no standards, but my
employer would allow me to work remote, so I could live in Jackson.
But I don't want to. And if I really wanted to ski anytime, I could
retire and re-arrange my life to do that, but again, I don't want to.
More
pow for you that way.

And Godspeed to all those of the OG that have died and have been
disrespected by the likes of those who should be apologizing. I, too
skied with many of them, back in the days before the boundaries were
expanded in RSA.

Yeay! let us draw a flagon of mead and sing their praises!

I really miss Hugh sometimes. May he be figure 11'ing at mach speed.

He was really a really, really decent guy.

Oh no no no, nothing that complicated. So the outcome of having
freedom
(nothing left to lose) is either a heroin overdose (Janis) or acting
in a really,
really bad movie (Kris.)
