I suppose it could be said that you are raising a moot point. Badger

Of course this pre-supposes the idea that we need and or want someone on this list who "says it like it is". I thought that insulting people was funny when I was in high school, but then I grew up. As did, to use your term, 99% of the population. A suggestion Derek, why don't you take your routine someplace else. I know, one of those stand up comedy nightclubs. We will let an impartial jury decide whether you're funny or not. Do they enjoy getting it straight from the horse's mouth or think, like many of us, that it's coming from the other end of the horse... Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and you'll go on tour and get rich. However I suggest you keep your day job.

Gentlemen, gentlemen please: You have all treated Badger most in a manner most unbefitting. To say "Badger YOU are the remaining 1%!" or "Badger-You ARE an IDIOT!" is so beneath his wit that I am surprised he dignified such comments with a response. Instead, I humbly offer the following for your consideration: "Look, he's winding up the watch of his wit, by and by it will strike." "Why dost thou converse with that trunk of humours, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with the pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that grey Iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years?" "You repent not in ashes and sackcloth, but in new silk and old sack." "You are a knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in a way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deni'st the least syllable of they addition." "The world's large tongue proclaims you for a man replete with mocks; full of comparisons and wounding flouts, which you on all estate will execute that lie within the mercy of your wit." Now see? Isn't that better? Kindest regards, Alan Campbell

I'am amazed that my question, has caused such controversy. I have taken no offence and am safe in the knowledge that having stripped my TC ( 1 original owner ) down to the last nut and bolt , and having rebuilt it painstakingly back to original in the past five years, I am allowed at least one stupid question. I agree lets end the debate here please. Charles

Our group NEEDS to have the guys like Badger. He is our relief valve. hat goes two ways. When we get all too serious about what is our obby, Badger reminds us to LIGHTEN UP. Also, when we get all too rivolous, he is the one that gets us back on track. Since I have not een any comments from Badger lately, I am a little worried. Maybe hose who may take offense at Badger's have quieted him. That would urprise me, but if it has, iligitimae non carburundum. Or is that arberatorum? As Jimmy Buffett might be paraphrased, "Come back, Badger. We promise ot to shoot you out of the sky."
