I was thinking more the use and misuse of language than social skiills
between Anthony and Humpty (let alone Bill Clinton). But we can hope for a great fall, can't we? Humpty had his. Anthony can't get high enough to fall, call he? Do you think his apartment is in the basement, and his sim starts off at - 8 feet agl? I was drinking a cup of coffee when read where he wrote he sims because he liikes to fly! Ut's not nice for a lady to exhale coffee thru her nose, darn it! Even better, he programs his flights, he says, so that they are done mostly on autopilot. So as I understand it, you sit and drink beer while the computer does everything. What a life! On Jan 5, 2:23*pm, "John Mazor" wrote: "Tina" wrote in message ... John, are you suggesting there is a linkage here -- Bill Clinton, MX whatever, and Humpty Dumpty? It really is beginning to make sense now, thanks for the insight. Nah. *Doo-Doo Happens, so most things are just coincidence. For example, Anthony is no Bill Clinton when it comes to attracting women, let alone plain old social skills. *Speculation on any physical similarity between him and Humpty Dumpty is just that for now, although the Vegas betting line that he's a dead ringer for the Egg Man is 8 to 5. For a more incisive read into Anthony's mindset, check the E.M. Forster short story "The Machine Stops". *Written in 1909, it's an amazingly prescient cautionary tale written well before the Internet was even a gleam in ARPA's eye. *Anthony would be be one of those who couldn't make it out, though. On Jan 5, 1:24 pm, "John Mazor" wrote: "Tina" wrote in message ... MX has been known to defy conventional use of words many times. Reading his posts is more or less like seeing a turn signal used in Boston: all you can be sure of is the lamp isn't burned out. In his case you can be sure he still has a connection the the 'net. Playing Humpty Dumpty with words - "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." - leaves enough wiggle room to deny anything and everything. On Jan 5, 10:41 am, "John Mazor" wrote: "Mxsmanic" wrote in message .. . John Mazor writes: No matter how much you tout the value of opinion ... I don't assert that opinions are valuable, because their value is very low. However, all opinions have an equal value, and that is the important point. ... to the point of claiming that "my opinion is irrefutable because it's an opinion," opinion isn't fact.. I haven't said this, although others have said essentially the equivalent. It's a fact that simming isn't flying. That depends on what you consider flying. Is being a passenger in an aircraft flying? Is moving through the air without flapping wings flying? Answer carefully. That depends on what your definition of "is" is. Answer carefully.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
