Two of them have done it just lately. Amos the Prophet a night or two ago and now Mikey_Max.
I swear they coordinate this stuff or crib off each other or something.

It's all downhill from there.
Thanks for the heads ups.

I rather like phrases like "during the middle of the last century" or "this has a fin de siècle air about it" or the like.

I am usually just a lurker on these threads, and am glad to see your tagline, as it does distinguish you from that other poster on the CREVO threads...I actually was able to keep the two of you separate in my mind, but your tagline just makes it much easier...

But not as funny as watching the evo's lose their mind as they were consistently trashed by G3K. He had a way of getting them wound-up. Indeed, look how wound up somebody gets!
I will repeat it again, you lying piece of garbage.
Oh, wait! That's g3k talking to dbeebs in your first link.

...then how do you explain homosexuality, which necessarily yields a state of reproductive stasis. ...Fitness applies to species (or other groupings), not individuals. Ants and bees seem to do quite well with over 99% of the individuals being sterile. Individual homosexuals may not have their genes passed on but that has no more bearing on human evolution than the failure of many heterosexuals to bear children.
Non-breeders may be useful.

1) they are the same person, or
2) they share a common source.
Note that Howard Phillips used the same phrase in an article....

Of course the main problem we have up here in the Great White North is melt damage during the 3 week long summer. Is it true that you can tell the upper class neighborhoods in Canada by their indoor Curling Rinks.... the lower classes have to contend with the proverbial outdoor rink in th back yard!
To: furball4paws
That's not what my wife says.

The century mark really has a big impact on perceived age. My grandson gives me that 'holy cow you're old' look when I mention things I did the previous century. Anything that happened in the 20th is ancient history to him. Every time I hear 'at the end of the last century' I automatically pop back to the 19th. I may never get used to this being alive in the 21st century.[sigh]

By then, they'll be labeling things as the "crime of the century!" the way they did with Leopold & Loeb back ... when was it ... the 1920s?

"Is it true that you can tell the upper class neighborhoods in Canada by their indoor Curling Rinks.... the lower classes have to contend with the proverbial outdoor rink in th back yard! No longer. There is an indoor curling rink on every second corner. The back yard rinks are for hockey. Too many people want to play hockey on too few indoor hockey rinks.

Peter of course castigates "ignorant" people. That is those people who refuse to listen to proper teaching authority.

Nothing like making claims when only the first 20% of the century has gone by. Journalists [disgusted look on my face]. If the news is boring, spin it as fast as possible.

Is that enough? Infrequent bathing and tendency to sex with camels.

Sorry, I really didn't mean that. The set up was just too perfect. Now I'm sure some creo will use that as proof of my bigotry.
Oh well, I've already been called a Nazi and a Communist.
