I decided to deliberately ignore this entire tempest in the VN teapot for at least a week until the "did not/did so" stuff sort of settles out.


I'll check back later.

Toad is someone I consider to be a true "statesman" on this BBS.

Toad is one of the people here I admire most.

Me too. I just watched "Catch Me if You Can", and if I ever meet him, would not be ashamed to ask for an autograph. Well, if he puts on a Airline Captain uniform that is, that bird hunting outfit with a tie was kinda Liberace meets Laz.

Elementary, my dear chums.

Only three possibilities:

All of these new accusations are true.

All of these new accusations are false.

Some of these new accusations are true, while some of them are false.

One thing looks certain to me: the general public won't know anything much about those possibilities for at least a week, maybe more.

On my list of things to worry about tomorrow, this issue is......... let me see...........



yep, it's not even on the list.

Sorry, Creamo. I don't do autographs. Well, not for free.

And my freshly pressed uniform is already on the mannequin in my "I love me room"; I couldn't bear to wear it and wrinkle it.

The tie? You don't have the pic in the top hat and tails, just the one with the tie? Thorns are tough on a tux, btw. Just a heads up.

Going to the con? I can fit you into my worship schedule for 5 minutes right after Nash's half hour.l I think. Have your people call my people.

I remember watching TV on 9-11-01 live............
when everything was live and chaotic.  There was a reporter live on the air, Dan Rather asked him about the situation......

(i'm not quoting exactly here, just personal reflection)

"Do you see bodies, are there people jumping from the buildings?"

I remember watching this live on 9-11 and turning the channel in disgust.


Anyone watch the dumb movie "hero" and the reporter in the office asked the reporter on the scene about the airline crash, and basiclly the asked the same question, and the scene that followed?...I think it was Alan Alda and Dustin Hoffman?????

I have not watched Dan Rather or CBS news since.

It was very unprofessional

Tap, you should have seen him on Letterman right after 9/11. He broke down in tears trying to describe what happened that day. If you have any doubts abouth Rather, watch that interview. It is one of the images of 9/11 I'll always remember. It really hit home then... they hurt us, they hurt us bad.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Yup and Letterman was gonna go on cancel, for like, a week and who knows how much more... ("how can you do comedy in the face of this?")

It was the mayor G, Rather et al that told him to get back out there... In the name of Normalcy.... weird times.

Fahget Rather...

Seein' Dave come out and try to talk about that watermelon would make the toughest of us kinda, cry. Er it did.
