The teddy's and the spartans are having so much fun up there in Info& I thought I'd make a big deal out of it.

With *cracks like:

...was axe a question

-and-

...was hammer home the answer

It's good to see all that good nature needling going on.

Anyone else got any gasoline for this fire?

Sorry, I just can't match it...

I thought you were just blowing smoke. I should've given that one the third degree. All I can expect now is the cold sholder.

Posted By: TEd Remington Got any gasoline? - 05/01/04 11:43 PM
Oh, goody, I can't refusee, as I have a flare for things like this.

I knew we could count on the horses mouth to be here. The writing was on the wall.

Perhaps I should start quoting Burns.

Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: Got any gasoline? - 05/03/04 09:21 PM
this is some blistering repartee.

Posted By: RhubarbCommando Re: Got any gasoline? - 05/03/04 09:24 PM
Well, eta, it has certainly brought a spark of life to the thread

Posted By: Coffeebean Re: Got any gasoline? - 05/03/04 09:33 PM
No fuelin'!

Just you bea content with what's we's a-writin', gal!

Hot diggity! We sure got these coals glowing and the steaks are starting to sizzle!

George?

Montgomery?

********

For a while there, we were firing on all cylinders. It looks like we ran out of gas. Someone needed to give this thing a kick-start.

It's my fault, musick - I've just been arson about.

can't hold a candle to you, Rhuby...

this thread has taken a shocking turn.. I think further posting might be electricfying. maybe we should pull the plug on it now.

Ah, no! Not now I'm all wired up for it! I'm just going to charge ahead and go with the current, producing revolting puns. As I am father to wit, so I am pére to puns.

ohm......

Posted By: musick Re: Perhaps I should start quoting Burns. - 05/11/04 04:47 PM
Watt did you say?

Posted By: of troy this is topic seems well grounded, now - 05/11/04 05:08 PM
Volta be next? the current flow seems headed for the ground.

There's a loose connection somewhere . . . although I usually try to insulate myself from such things, someone relayed the information to me that this was all my fault! But I re-fuse to believe it, just for starters.

Posted By: of troy Re: this is topic seems well grounded, now - 05/11/04 09:54 PM
i dunno, CB, i think you have generated some new ideas. between you and the commando, i think there is an amp-le supply
loved learning this about you--i am pere to .. very well done!

Well, helen, it is because you made the switch to electrify this thread - I've just put a plug in the gap.
So, c'mon, guys - socket to me.

now there's a spark!

Now that's what I'd call a lightning response, eta!

well, thanks! I was alternating between that and another.

Posted By: of troy Re: this is topic seems well grounded, now - 05/13/04 05:20 PM
What you didn't go directly to the point?

what sort of circuitous route did you take? what impeded your resistance? Could you be LED a better way?

Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: come on baby, light my fire - 05/13/04 05:36 PM
I seem to have fallen into a series of responses...

Posted By: AnnaStrophic Re: come on baby, light my fire - 05/13/04 06:34 PM
Watt?

Posted By: of troy Re: come on baby, light my fire - 05/13/04 06:44 PM
could be worse.. you could be in a parallel world.

Posted By: musick Got a light? - 05/21/04 03:37 PM
It's time to switch this to the 'on' position. Y'all're starting to look like 'deer in headlights'.
Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: Got a light? - 05/21/04 04:21 PM
I don't zinc we need to put up with this battery, copper...

Posted By: musick Re: Got a light? - 05/22/04 06:18 PM
I'm just tryin' to getch'all charged up.

Posted By: RhubarbCommando Re: Got a light? - 05/24/04 11:42 AM
last time I was involved with, battery, copper and charge, I ended up in a cell

Posted By: Capfka Re: Got a light? - 05/24/04 07:46 PM
Dry or wet? It's easy to be positive about the first and negative about the second, don't you find?

Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: Got a light? - 05/24/04 08:04 PM
I guess Rhuby, that was on account of bad conduct?

Posted By: TEd Remington I ended up in a cell - 05/24/04 08:23 PM
Hardly, I suspect, a current event. IN fact, I would imagine it was a faraday ago. Perhaps not back in the days of Coulombus, but Watt do I know for certain? Did you sit in the cell and chant Ohm until you were bailed out? Here bail would have been set by a circuit court judge, but I suspect you have another name for your magistrates back in the ohm country.

Posted By: RhubarbCommando Re: I ended up in a cell - 05/25/04 06:10 PM
In short, I remained static, for this was all for which I had the capacity. They tried to pylon the charges, but a wire to my lawyer ensured that the potential for electrocution as a punishment was averted.

Posted By: consuelo That must have crimped your style - 05/26/04 03:04 AM
That's a new twist.

Posted By: TEd Remington the potential for electrocution - 05/26/04 03:46 PM
I recoiled in horror when I saw this, but then in thinking about it I realized they would hardly have had grounds. Earthy comments, perhaps, but not grounds. I'm certain you;ll remember this unless some trauma happened which would spark gaps in your memory. Of course there's always the flux of time to take into consideration, but having met you I know that you combat time with some resistance.

I usually read poetry when I'm feeling old. You might try odes to see if they work for you.

Which reminds me of one of my better efforts some years ago. A friend of mine bought an ancient funerary urn while in Athens, and I was able to get his wife to give me the charge slip for it. I framed it for him for his birthday, and he still proudly displays the frame with the title: Owed on a Grecian Urn. True story.

Posted By: RhubarbCommando What's a Greek Urn? - 05/26/04 09:17 PM
- twenty years ago, it was about 50,000 drachma a day, I believe.

Posted By: AnnaStrophic How do you say - 05/26/04 09:38 PM
et tu, Bingley in Greek?

Posted By: Bingley Re: How do you say - 05/27/04 01:29 AM
kai su

Posted By: Coffeebean Re: How do you say - 05/27/04 05:11 PM
This thread sure has some live parts to it!

I thought I'd be back in a flash but was de-energized and decided to take a journey, man. It was a blast!

Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: How do you say - 05/27/04 05:20 PM
still going...

Posted By: AnnaStrophic kai su, - 05/27/04 06:02 PM
Bingley?

Posted By: Bingley Re: kai su, - 05/28/04 02:35 AM
kai su is the Greek for et tu. Suetonius gives Julius Caesar's last words as being in Greek: kai su teknon (and/even you (my) son).

Bingley
Posted By: AnnaStrophic Re: kai su, Bingley? - 05/28/04 06:19 PM
Yeah, I figured that out, when I asked you and you replied. My troubles come from your engaging in the pun fest. Hence the rhetorical question.

Posted By: musick Nobody knows the troubles you've seen - 05/30/04 03:42 PM
All seriesness aside, no need for short tempers. Time to hook this thing back up.

"breaker, breaker, 19, I think someone tripped up on that one..."

Posted By: Zed Re: Nobody knows the troubles you've seen - 05/31/04 08:54 PM
A shocking display of frivolty among the cyberspace e-lite.

very illuminating, zed...
