You pulling legs today, Squirrely?

If it's true, that would tend to strengthen thinking that it could be related to computer problems ...

if this keeps up I'll have to start putting

-- spider (spider0@usa.net), February 29, 2000.

Why would this be a troll? This really happened. It says so right at the top of this post.

And here I thot that Squirrel KING was nuts@upinatree...

BTW, does "simultaneously" mean parallel landings or serial? Maybe they were practicing for one of those synchronized swimming type events at the Olympics this year?

FOX NEWS WIRES FAIL TO REPORT AFTER 12:00

Well, Squirrel Hunter is now up in a cell relaytower these days; guess he gets a better view or connections this way.

Suggest Squirrel Hunter file a defamation of character suit against the unnamed troll imposter who perpetrated this bogus thread. Perhaps Sysops has an idea who it is.

Yeah, it was just after they finished their chemtrail routes...

Since it _is_ leap year day, in the spirit of Pirates of Penzance:

I am the very model of an MD-80 fallible I fly the skies both to and fro and spray the sheeple equable Then to divert attention from conspiracies immutable My inner workings fall apart, to crashes I am vulnerable

Obstensibly you'll never see, in simple synchronicity 9 MD-80's guarantee . . . (oops censored by the P.T.B.s!)

Let's try that with formatting this time! (I hope...)

This was no troll post~ THIS is the REAL ME, it's true.

No, it's not you.

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (Marietta, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), February 29, 2000.

Squirrel Hunter, if that's really you, you're going to have to give a link in order to claim credit for your prediction.

-- Mikey2k (mikey2k@he.wont.eat.it), February 29, 2000.

How about links to old SK and SH threads? I still don't think the addy is right.

-- Brooks (brooksbie@hotmail.com), February 29, 2000.

It is really ME!!! I am not an imposter! I am myself. See: >"<

Sorry. STILL looking for the link ..... just hang on. Give me a few days. My prediction came true though. Honest.

-- Squirrel Hunter (nuts@upina.cellrelaytower), February 29, 2000.


It was embedded pigeons.

Yeah, right :)

-- Lurkess (Lurkess@Lurking.XNet), February 29, 2000.

This post by so called "Mr. Squirrel" pleads for us to give him " a few DAYS to find the thread?". No self respecting reliable poster would ask for "days". Bogus poster

-- Instant (bre@kfast.com), February 29, 2000.

Real poster. You're right about the self-respect part though!

Gotcha MARA! Gotcha A&L!

I'm off to the BALL!

THIS WAS REALLY ME!!!!!!!!

This is getting out of hand!! Listen: if this is not really me, then the real me will enter a post saying that this is NOT really me/him. But HE/I won't, because I AM HE.

AWWRIGHT?!!!

Yer busted, Laura. Squirrel Hunter has NEVER misspelled his name that way.

-- Had it with (the@LL.troll), February 29, 2000.

TrollBuster,

Hey, great catch!! LL again! WTF???

I'm curious why SH didn't didn't get his shorts in a twist over the "stealing" of his addy.

Oops. Please delete one of them there didn'ts. Obviously a Leap Day problem ;-)

Well, if you all go to the Air Force story about, you'll see that this could be no JOKE!!! The Air Force is ground planes to check out stablizer problems. As to any troll who thinks that posting false news and then revelling in someone's believing the information-- that's what I call sociopathic. A scoiopath who thinks that the people here are nuts? Oh, good luck...

-- Mara (MaraWayne@aol.com), March 01, 2000.

my shorts ainpt in a twist becuase this was me. Called light humor.

-- Squirrel Hunter (nuts@upina.cellrelaytower), March 01, 2000.

By the way, Mara, I apologize if I caught you off guard. I was lampooning my own February predictions for the MD-80, and playing catch-up. Mea culpa.

-- Squirrel Hunter (nuts@upina.cellrelaytower), March 01, 2000.

Now SH, that really wasn't necessary.

-- Mikey2k (mikey2k@he.wont.eat.it), March 01, 2000.

Since Squirrel Hunter started out as a troll here, his behavior on this thread appears completely consistent with himself. Because he's made sense and behaved once in a while, some people have now assumed him to be a legitimate and serious poster. Tsk tsk.

And the mispellings are consistent also.

You deserve a dIETerish lecture, SH.
