Public apology to hamster - I'm sorry, I got you confused with one of the other trolls following me from thread to thread - you are not a troll. Keep up the good work!

Dear Andy,

Just because someone puts forward the idea that what you post might be deemed a collectable by garbologists doesn't mean they are a troll. You used to post some reasonable stuff. It started going downhill during the recent gold spike, but you had the wisdom to keep quiet for a couple of weeks when things turned sour.

Now your bowels seem to have opened up again... you appear to have nothing whatsoever sensible to say. Gold worth $71,538 per ounce? OK - either buy my 606 Krugerrands at that price or climb back into your hole.

Maybe your posts are supposed to be humorous. I know humor, and that ain't it.

Maybe they are the mad ramblings of a lunatic. They certainly appear that way to me and some other "trolls" who are following you.

If you do reply to this, try to remember that profanities are the mark of an immature personality that has been backed into a corner. They are in effect saying "I've lost the argument - at least let me call you names". You appear to have received a brand new Oxford Dictionary of Expletives for your birthday.

You have NO sense of humour. Why bug me if you are not a troll? And on it goes...

Definitions of profanity:

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English Language is the word "FUCK." It is the one magical word, which, just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love and hate. In language, "FUCK" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John). It can be an active verb (John really gives a fuck) or passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck); or an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), and as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful): as you can see, there are very few words with the versatility of "FUCK." The listing below shows the versatility of the word and gives some serving suggestions you might like to try when the vicar comes to tea.

It's fucked - It doesn't work; it has broken.

I'm fucked - I am tired; I am drunk; I have a hangover; I am not prepared to do this (I'm fucked if I'm going to do this); I am in trouble.

I'm fucked off - I am unhappy about the situation, the person, the music, etc..

Fuck off - Please go away; I don't believe you; That is incorrect; no.

Wanna fuck? - I am desirous of engaging in sexual union with you.

Fuck All - Nothing. eg., I know fuck all.

Fuck me! - I am surprised; I am desirous of engaging in sexual union with you.

Fuck you! - I do not like you; I do not like what you have just said or done.

Fuck this! - I am no longer prepared to put up with this situation. eg., Fuck this for a game of toy soldiers.

Fuck it! - Whoops, I seem to have made a mistake.

Holy Fuck! - See 'fuck me!'

Fuckpiece - My girlfriend, wife, mistress, boyfriend; penis, woman's bits.

Fucker - Bad person. Sometimes prefixed with 'mother-' (He is an evil mother-fucker); someone who engages in sexual intercourse frequently.

A very versatile word indeed. The list above might not be complete and we apologise for any ommissions. The Fulchester Underwater Canoing Klubb cannot be held responsible for any consequence of use of this word in any of these or any other contexts.

Here are some moments in history in which the word Fuck was used.

Michelangelo: "You want me to paint what on the fucking ceiling"

George Custer: "Holy fuck -- fucking indians"

Mayor of Hiroshima: "What the fuck was that?"

Captain of the Titanic: "What fucking iceberg?"

Oliver North: "You're all fucking liars!" Chubby Brown: "Who the fuck is Alice?" Eddie Murphy: "Fuck you, Fuck you, and Fuck you. Who's next?"

Ayrton Senna: "Oh fuck!"

Einstein: "Any fucker can understand that"

I fucking like that.

LOL!! Good one Andy Capp!

Hey fuck off, not a troll, or hamster or whoever you are!

You either don't know Andy very well or you don't understand the British. He's a good bloke and I think you are taking his rather colorful language too seriously. This is how they speak among friends, and it isn't mean to be offensive, just honest in a very expressive way.

When a British person is truly angry at you they will verbally tear you to shreds in such a very polite and witty fashion that you won't even realize you've been had until you can figure out what they said.

Lighten up, or I'll have to show you what a Hawk can do to a hamster.

(Andy, you can call me an asshole anytime, but if a troll does it, I'll bite their head off!)

(*V*)

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 01, 1999.

Thank You Hawk, I couldn't have put it better myself :)

I thinks it's a cultural thing.

I happen to come from the Oliver Reed school of Brit, not the Lawrence Olivier :)

To put things in perspective, I regard this forum as being like a bunch of people down the pub discussing the issues of the day and solving the world's problems. There's nothing wrong with a little swearing to make your point, and there's nothing wrong with drinking a few pints too.

I've lived in America for nearly seven years now and it still amazes me about the above two things...

It is just SOOOOO un-PC to even *mention* the above...

i.e. drinking. Half the folks on this forum that look aghast at my drinking are probably the same ones that will skulk into a liquor store and emerge victorious with brown paper bag to sneak home and drink in lonely silence...

Catch ya later Hawk...

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), November 01, 1999.

The Oliver Reed school, not Laurence Olivier! Bwahaha hahah haa!!

I know EXACTLY what you're saying Andy. Had some British friends when I lived in L.A., and they were some of the best, honest guys I ever knew. I miss going to some of the good British pubs, tossin darts, and sippin that Watneys, my favorite of the darker brews, and man what a buzz! Well, don't put up with any crap from wankers my friend, just continue to be yourself. Cheers!

Because I am an immature personality, I have a child-like conscience and am feeling so fucking guilty because I did not give credit to the site at which I pinched the definitions above. Here it is and thank you very much.

Welcome to the Fulchester Underwater Canoing Klubb

fuck.co.uk What the fuck?

As you can see, fuck.co.uk is the home of the well known and respected Fulchester Underwater Canoing Klubb. Fuck resulted in a change of the UK domain naming rules which allowed potentially offensive names into the UK domain. Possibly the most offensive of these words happened to coincide with our Klubb's initials so here we are. We are possibly the only fuck domain on the internet.

CD, the science of garbology is not to be laughed at, especially not out loud, very rude It is a very serious subject and given respectability by many officials and persons of importance and is even mentioned in the same breath as Art Auctions. I think you stand chastized.

Garbologist to Address Waste Management Seminar Conducts Archeological Studies of Landfills

Dr. William Rathje, Founder and Director of the University of Arizona Garbage Project, will present the keynote address at the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Recycling Board annual seminar on Friday, November 20th. The seminar, which is open to the public, will be held at Centennial Hall, located at 22292 Foothill Boulevard in Hayward, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

Dr. Rathje, who conducts anthropological research on modern landfills, is the co-author of a new book: Use Less Stuff: Environmental Solutions for Who We Really Are.

Other highlights of the Seminar will include:

An examination of issues surrounding extended manufacturer responsibility for proper disposal of products, featuring representatives of the private sector and the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance.

A presentation on the new recycling/garbage paradigm in City of Oakland offices.

An art auction sponsored by the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse Second Chance/First Chance program.

The seminar will be attended by Bay Area elected officials, public agency staff, representatives of the recycling and waste hauling industries and other interested parties. It is a public meeting of the Alameda County Waste Management Authority & Recycling Board, the public agency charged with reducing the amount of materials sent to landfill through waste prevention and recycling programs.

No doubt about it. I stand chastized. (And rightfully so!)

-- CD (not@here.com), November 01, 1999.

The first part of Fulchester Underwater Canoing Klubb's "definitions" sounds suspiciously like part of George Carlin's old "Seven Dirty Words" routine. But, what the fuck. If he doesn't care, I don't.

Hey Andy, Im not a troll, just dont like your meaningless posts and Brit fag attitude. Like others have stated before, you label all of your detractors as trolls and thats BS. Now we have the a**hole @, going by the handle Hawk and teaming up with you on every issue. Are you starting to get the picture? You have lost what little credibility you might have had and by reverting to your gay anguish mode we are seeing the real Andy. Pitueee!

-- Andy (is@not.dandy), November 01, 1999.

This post above is a good example of meaningless. It is also a good example of homophobia. I think she is just jealous and should stand chastized.

-- An Immature Personality (Backed@into.a.corner), November 01, 1999.

Andy, you know in your heart that everyone that disagrees with you is not a troll. i am not a troll. A year ago, I believed things would be bad. Really bad. But over the last year, many things have been fixed. I disagree with your philosophy on the market. It may go down some, but y2k has largely been factored in already. The bear fund is not necessarily the place to be now. Maybe in a few years. After the first of the year, the boogie man will have been seen as no big problem, and the market will be up big time. I'm noty a prophet. Its just good old fashioned logic. If this makes me a troll, I apologize. Just try to get the big picture.

-- jb smith (joebobsmith@yahoo.com), November 01, 1999.

OK jb

I'm with you on this - I REALLY hope you are right.

However, I'm a computer pro, 22 years in the business, worked all over the world. My experience, knowledge and contacts all tell me that the rollover and it's aftermath will be "bad".

Fingers crossed.
