Thank you for being whatever you are...

[Joe Guy]

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone here for adding another dimension to my life and keeping me more than entertained.

Where else could I find in one place a group comprised of lawyers with & without egos, some very helpful geeks, war veterans, a mad scientist(?), a nurse with a seriously warped attitude, a local Business Consultant, individuals in various stages of recovery, a foreign mental ward screw ( ), a witty & intelligent fowl, an obviously knowledgeable musician who doesn't boast, a confusing but sincere defender of liberty, a fun & smartassed tow truck driver/mechanic, a bald-headed manic freak that home schooled his kids and a few other people who I can't figure out what the hell they are about?

I probably left some of you out of this, but that doesn't mean anything.

Thanks for being there... everyone....

(edited to change "they hell" to "the hell")

[Joe Guy]

And then of course there is me...

A completely fictional person created by you.

[Rick]

Of course I got left out, I always do.

Grade school all over again...

[Gob]

You're missing Quaddy, aren't you Joe, admit it!

[Joe Guy]

Of course I got left out, I always do.

I thought you might be a geek. But, if not, you're one of those "other people who I can't figure out what the hell they are about".

So you were included.

[TPFKA@W]

And of course the stalker....

[Miles]

Gee I finally found someplace I fit in.

[Lord Jim]

Well Joe, a little shout out here....

[Gob]

Should we run a quiz to guess what keld does to earn his beer vouchers?

I'm guessing a saggarmaker's bottom knocker.

I might take a shot at that as a vote if I had any idea what it meant.

[Rick]

It's a crock and bull story...

[Timster]

I am Not "manic". Fuck you very much.

I'm inviting members to guess what Keld does to earn a living.

My guess was this;

What's My Line? was a Classic British television panel game from the 1950's. Contestants with unusual occupations sign in, perform a mime of the job that they do, then field yes-or-no questions from four celebrities aiming to work out the contestant's job.

The weirdest occupation on the programme is widely believed to be a "saggar maker's bottom knocker". Saggars are used to hold and protect pottery during kiln-firing, and by placing various substances in a saggar it is possible to produce dramatic visual effects on the finished pottery.

Producing saggars to the correct specifications required was a skilled job and needs a craftsman - the saggar maker. However, making the bases of the saggars is a less skilled job which can be left to a lesser craftsman, namely the saggar maker's bottom knocker, who makes the bottom of the saggar by placing clay in a metal hoop and literally knocking it into shape.

Okay, I was wrong.

You're a mellow dude who keeps his opinions to himself because he doesn't want to step on anyone's toes and upset them.

You spend most of your time meditating to the artificially reproduced sounds of a babbling brook while fondling the beads you were given by the Dali Lama when you traveled to Tibet in 1989.

You have a collection of Osmond Brothers records and hope to some day meet Madonna and show her the tattoo on your back.

You are a 21st century man with a 20th century way of looking a things.

If you were any more laid back you would put us all to sleep when you write a post. You have the hypnotic effect on people that is similar to the result of listening to a Perry Como record while reading Leonard Cohen lyrics.

You are an uninteresting little bore of a person...

[Rick]

Dang Timbob, I know I really missed something when I didn't make it to Kathmandu like I had wanted.

Hepatitis be damned ( I don't have it a friend of mine got it when he visited I got skeert)...

I'm inviting members to guess what Keld does to earn a living.

Picking lobsters from Sofia Vergara's arse.

[Rick]

Them would be crabs...
