A word of advice, Dru. Don't try the same thing if you should forget your swim trunks.

I'm waiting for trask to comment on disabled sex.

Off_white, I like your palindrome. That one is new to me.

I am afraid to say this, but none of you are using any compelling arguments as to why erik should be "defrocked", for want of a better word. People insult each other on this board; so what? The question is whether he is letting personal vendettas influence his enforcement of the "terms of service" for this site. I'm not taking a stand on erik other than to say there is evidence that Dwayner's treatment has been personalized.

Won't you credit him for the teensyest bit of integrity? You got to remember he is a man of unrestrained impulses. His reasoning side lags behind is randy side.

I suggest you contact Ade, a fellow countryman. He's got the time too.

Wow, trask actually admitted to what amounts to honor or integrity. I didn't know you had it in you. Just joking.

Use a "no-knot" hitch. You wrap the rope around a large diameter (>>10 the rope diameter) bollard at least four times.

I thought this thread was going to be about Putin arresting the head of the largest oil company in Russia. There's a story.

Like it or not, erik, as a moderator you should be holding yourself to a higher standard.

Hey, you got out, so good on yer mate!

Saw it the minute trask posted it. He knew it wouldn't take off without my involvement. So after lunch, I thought, "What the hell?"

Someone has to play good cop so that the bad cop seems badder. Okay?

Yours wouldn't weigh that much, trask, owing to empty space.

In Canada, even radar detectors are illegal, are they not?

Erik, if you are responding publicly to a private e-mail, then that is not kosher. At least let us know what it was he said.

Minx

The test violates the Rule of One, which states that only one variable be tested at a time. Sounded to me as though there were always two knots in the test, so one would have to break before the other.

Uh, isn't this device slightly illegal?

How did the Donovan song Mellow Yellow get its name?

This was discussed. The metal wands are said to melt out too quickly and fall over compared to the bamboo ones. Isn't that right, To-the-Top?

Good luck, sir.

You butt pirates ought to take the advice of Henry Purcell gave over three hundred years ago: "Man is for the woman made, And the woman made for man; As the spur is for the jade, As the scabbard for the blade, As for digging is the spade, As for liquor is the can, So man is for the woman made, And the woman made for man. As the scepter to be sway'd, As for night's the serenade, As for pudding is the pan, And to cool us is the fan, So man is for the woman made, And the woman made for man. Be she widow, wife or maid, Be she wanton, be she stayed, Be she well or ill array'd, Whore, bawd or harridan, Yet man is for the woman made, And the woman made for man."

Beck, you always wear a funny hat.
