Ed Dolan's Fifth and Final Farewell to Freaking ARBR!
GOD wrote:
Perry Butler is not a bad bloke, but he is mired in conventional thinking. I have tried to shake him out of his doldrums, but it has been a losing battle. He likes to call me names when he can't think of what else to do. He is a fellow Minnesotan so I feel rather badly that we do not get along better. All he needs to do really is just to grow up a bit and lose his childish defense mechanisms. Eddie, Only a "childish" liar like you would call himself GOD. It's obvious who needs to "grow up a bit and lose his childish defense mechanisms." When was the last time you didn't get the last defensive word in; I can't recall a time. You are the King of Defense! Enjoy, Perry B PS, being a "fellow Minnesotan" has nothing to do with my distain for people like you who lie. |

There you can discuss presta valves vs. schraeder valves... Dear DOG, There is no such thing as a "schraeder valve". What proof do you have to support this contention? A search of industrial suppliers reveals a null result for "schraeder valve", but many sources of "Schrader valves". Anyone claiming divinity should be aware of this. Here is a nice selection of Schrader valves from a descendent of the company that invented said valve: http://www.schrader-bridgeport.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=1341&location_id=1147. Nice valves. Robust. Tough. Valves real men would want on their inner tubes. Not wimpy Presta valves (aka the French valve) whose main appeal would be to technowienies and skinny assed bicycle racing freaks. $kip is obviously a "Fred". It would not surprise me if the labels on his tires were not aligned with the valve stems. Of course I align the tire label with the valve stem. It's a time saver locating the stem in the unlikely event of a flat plus it just wouldn't look right to me otherwise. I also carefully inspect the tire carcass and tape before installing a new tube (no I don't patch the puncture hole [a patch by definition is a temporary repair]). I take these additional steps so I won't be troubled by repeated flats and for safety's sake. I doesn't take much extra time or money to do things right. "Inner tube patching is a very old, well established technology, and is quite reliable if done properly" - Sheldon Brown [1] Enough said, unless one wishes to disagree with Mr. Brown. P.S. Oh yeah, I also carefully refold my maps the way they were originally intended to be folded. If you ever get around to adopting real children other than your three "orphans" you could show them how to do these kinds of things. If one lives in Chicagoland [2], it is practical two have two IDOT state maps, with one folded backwards. Why would I want to adopt children? They are noisy, disruptive, destructive and altogether uncivilized. The old European upper classes had the right idea - hire a nanny to take care of them at an early age, and then ship them off to boarding school until they reach adulthood. It is a sign of the intellectual and moral decay in the United States that landlords are allowed to discriminate against cats, but not children. [1] http://www.sheldonbrown.com/flats.html. [2] An area with a population roughly equivalent to such countries as B*lg**m, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, and Serbia/Montenegro. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley |

Ed Dolan's Fifth and Final Farewell to Freaking ARBR!
I am presently using the Google Groups web site and my posts seem to be
all screwed up. It even apears that I may be top posting! Perish the thought. Also, no more spell check. I wonder if it is possible to get a spell check that will work when you are on a web site like Google Groups. Only a "childish" liar like you would call himself GOD. It is all part of my self parody, something you have never understood. But keep on with the liar bit. That is something you would know all about since it is your chief claim to fame on this group. It's obvious who needs to "grow up a bit and lose his childish defense mechanisms." When was the last time you didn't get the last defensive word in; I can't recall a time. You are the King of Defense! I resolved from day one that I was never going to let idiots get the last word with me, even if I have to stoop to their abysmal low level. Too bad you had to learn this the hard way. PS, being a "fellow Minnesotan" has nothing to do with my distain for people like you who lie. Distain should be disdain. Here is Perry Butler at his best. He has no loyalty to fellow Minnesotans and he reverts to his customary name calling at the drop of a hat. But Minnesota is full of slobs like him. They aspire to the middle class but never quite get there. Upper class genteel snobs like me are beyond him. I ought to be living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan where I would only consort with my peers, not low lifes like Perry Butler. There, instead of wasting my time posting to this freaking newsgroup, I could be attending concerts, operas and ballets and pursuing the intellectual and artistic life. GOD |

The old European upper classes had the right idea - hire a nanny to take care of them at an early age, and then ship them off to boarding school until they reach adulthood. I had to look twice to make sure that I hadn't written the above myself. Children are the price that men pay to have a sex partner at their beck and call, and when you fall out of love, which happens soon enough, then the children are all that remain to remind you that maybe it was worthwhile after all. It is a sign of the intellectual and moral decay in the United States that landlords are allowed to discriminate against cats, but not children. I have so many cats that there is not a landlord in the land who would have me. It is really not possible to have very many dogs, but cats are not much trouble and before you know it you can easily have a dozen or so. GOD |

Dear DOG, When using the Google interface to access Usenet, first click on the "Preview" button then the "Edit Message" button, after using the "Reply" function. I used to know how to post via Google, but I had forgotten how after using my Outlook Express newsreader for a couple of years. It seems to post properly via Google website that you have to do a lot of copying and pasting in your reply. I will only use Google as a back up when my OE newsreader is all screwed up. I sometimes wonder if others have as much trouble with their computers as I do. I note that when I take my computer into the shop for a repair, that I cannot get it back for less than $100. Hells Bells! I am spending more on these freaking computers than I ever spent on my bikes. Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota |
