Beans,
Always keep a bag of Rieces Pieces on hand for such situations.
Just go out to where that bridge was. Hang a Rieces Pieces bag filled with rocks about 8 feet over the raging water. Head back to the house leaving a trail of Reices Pieces behind you. Drop the last few in front of Junior.
Problem Solved.:lol:

Can you give us the Cliff Notes Summary? In English? And WTF does it have to do with Friday/Crusoe?Quote:

BTW: Isn't the title of a book normally written in italicized title case? Remy, you jokester, you threw me off by not italicizing the name of the book in title case. :lol: Were you just trying to fool all of us?
Please see:
The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. (i.e., Les E'léments De Style par William Strunk, Jr.)
Book Summary: Asserting that one must first know the rules to break them, this classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer. Intended for use in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature, it gives in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style and concentrates attention on the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated. :chair:
Résumé du livre: Affirmer que l'on doit d'abord connaître les règles de briser eux, ce classique est un livre de référence incontournable pour tout étudiant consciencieux et écrivain. Conçu pour être utilisé dans lequel la pratique de la composition est combinée avec l'étude de la littérature, il donne en résumé les principales exigences d'espace de plaine de style anglais et se concentre l'attention sur les règles d'usage et les principes de composition les plus fréquemment violés. :chair:
I have discovered that alone is the productive way to go. with a group of people, every task, every toil,every failure, turns into a finger pointing free-for-all. and if a group "leader" is'nt an extreemly careful leader the group will mutiny,and ive even seen 7 people go thier own way because none of them could decide who was the more capable.one wanted a river exit, one wanted to follow a ridge line over to another "miners" valley, thinking of an open road.and another wanted to follow a southerly direction, disregarding topography and obstructions. unless your group trusts you without question your group will cause problems. even if its to simply carry a bucket of water.they gripe and tell you how hard it was for them to get the last bucket.Ilike it by my self.Quote:

Are YOU so inadequate that you have to resort to name calling? Can't debate or discuss the actual issue?
Here's some Latin for you, young man: Argumentum ad Hominem. Add it to your French vocabulary.
Definition: Argumentum ad Hominem - (abusive and circumstantial): the fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument. Often the argument is characterized simply as a personal attack.
ARE YOU REALLY A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, OR DO YOU JUST PLAY THE ROLE ON THE FORUM?
For a guy who professes to be intelligent, you disappointed me, Remy. Name calling. How juvenile. You're not really an intellectual lightweight, are you, Remy?
Sarge-
Maybe he didnt survive?
I'll close this thread if I think I have too, but I've sent a PM to Ken & I think he'll drop it. Shoot,I thought my "flaming war with Destroying Angel" was bad!:3: C'mon you guys, take a step back, take a deep breath, & have a glass of cow urine on me!:lol::lol::lol:
Ahhh, Remy, name calling again, I see.Quote:

Yes, Remy, I will measure I.Q.s with you. I know where I stand on the standard deviation curve, and, again, the law of averages suggests that even though you MAY be well above 110 yourself, although I suspect you are not, I will still have you smoked by at least 30 points regardless. Yep, my I.Q.'s that high, Remy. How about low man pays for a 4 week vacation for 2 for the other? Can you afford that bet, Remy? I have no fear of losing this one, and I'd enjoy having someone like you pay for my honeymoon.
Yes, Remy, as you admit, you are arrogant. You are VERY arrogant. But, you have no reason to be based on the personal attacks and invalid assumptions you wrote in your last post.
Let's see......
"Unsatisfied wife?" Remy, do you suffer from a reading disability or comprehension problem? I've NEVER said I was married, Remy. I'm engaged, Remy, and, since she's planning the wedding, I would suspect that she's still satisfied. MY, my, my. What did you think you'd gain by stating (incorrectly, as usual) that I had an unsatisfied wife, anyway? Have you ever taken a course in Logic, Remy? Your debating skills are pathetic. Have you ever taken a Debating course, Remy?
Just where DID you go to school, Remy? Was the admissions application printed on the inside of a matchbook? Wherever you went, DEMAND A REFUND, REMY!!!
Moronic Beagles? Remy, Remy, Remy. My Beagles may not be the brightest creatures in the world. I'll agree with that. Do you feel good knowing that you're probably brighter than they are? Do you feel SUPERIOR to my beagles, Remy? Tell us about it. Take your time and explain yourself. We're here to HELP YOU, Remy.
BTW - Did your classmates pick on you in school, Remy? Are you getting ANGRY with me, Remy? Do you want to hurt me, Remy? Do you want to hurt YOURSELF, Remy? Have you EVER tried to hurt yourself, Remy? How do you feel about your mother, Remy? REMY, PLEASE NOTE THAT I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT YOU OR YOUR MOTHER HERE - I'M ONLY ASKING THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I WANT TO UNDERSTAND, OKAY, REMY?
Remy, are you REALLY a mental health professional? Do you interact with your patients in the same manner in which you conduct yourself here?
PLEEEEEZE. Explain yourself and make us understand. We are your friends, Remy, and, once again, we are here to help you.
Dang main...this is heatin' up. I think your both a couple of pompous windbags. And, if you ever met on a golf course you'd start a hot and bothered BROMANCE. You guys are only arguing, because your so much alike. Ha ha ha ha
I really just wanted to try the word "BROMANCE" out. Its a pretty good word...I just needed a situation to dazzle the crowd with it... this context seemed to work.
As far as the Homoerotic allusion, I can't help myself. I am very immature. That combined with my below average IQ forces me to regularly blurt out sexual innuendos, be they referencing relationships with animals, men or whatever.
Also, I am a hick....you got me there. But, so what, I keep myself stimulated.
Remy, Remy, Remy!!!! Still the name calling!!! Can't you do BETTER THAN THAT????.Quote:

Who else on the Forum do you believe to be a "sexually frustrated faggot," Remy?
Why did you feel it necessary to call MY FRIEND, JASON, a "hick", Remy. Even if Jason were a hick (which implies uneducated, which he certainly is not) would it make you feel superior to call him that name, Remy?
Why did you tell Jason to go "touch himself," Remy? Is that what your Mommy and Daddy told YOU to do when you were bothering them?
What "mood" are you referring to, Remy? PLEEEEZE tell me that you're not getting sexually aroused by this, ARE YOU REMY????
In all honesty I don't fit in, in any circles...educated or not. Cultured and Educated people always view me as a redneck...or hick if you prefer.True Redneck hickoids view me as a hippie type.
So, I guess I'll just invent a word to describe me like our Shadoran friend.
How about "Green Neck"
1/2 Hillbilly...1/2 Hippie.
Lastly, you got me...I am sexually frustrated. But, I'm saving up my money!

You have chosen to live a lifestyle that many living in the so called "cultured" world would truly enjoy if they only had the courage to make the break from where they now stand. I'm talking about folks who dread getting up and going to work each day. Certainly, you don't feel that way.
Remy's arrogance and his depricating remarks toward others are merely attempts to compensate for his own feelings of inferiority and to intimidate those who may otherwise challenge him.
Arguing with Remy is like shooting goldfish in a teacup with a 12 guage. No challenge whatsoever.
Really, he's a sad little man. Look at his significant other in the pic he posted. Does SHE look happy? She looks like she's zoned out on something or other. How could anyone be happy living with a narcissist? And yes, if you can't tell, the odds are quite strong that Remy is a narcissist. Narcissists love to belittle others, and they are NOT nice people. Remy seems to meet all of the criteria. Check the DSM IV-R. Remy can explain what that book is all about. Can't you, Remy?
(Remy, let me help you on this one if you've forgotten: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV-Revised (DSM IV-R) is a guide for assessing and diagnosing mental disorders that are known in the world.
Ken
Education is relative really....I have a college degree (BS). But, its from a small state university. I feel educated....but, to an Ivy League PHD....I am just another hick.
I don't mind that though. I chose my life...I chose my destiny. However, I didn't choose this dang personality....I really cant help blurting out weird stuff
I hope you don't believe that Remy is "an Ivy League PHD," do you? Your BS is from a small state school? SO WHAT??? That doesn't mean you aren't as bright as graduates from any other school. I've taught at two colleges and also at two universities (one that you have certainly heard of). As a professor, I know what I'm talking about here. Honest.Quote:

HEY REMY!!! What say you about the I.Q. challenge? :lol::lol::lol:
Oh no...I defiently don't think that low of REMY. If I remember correctly, he's still working on his associates degree at the Rancho Cucamonga Community College. Just two more classes!!!
He thinks I am hick because I've used a whip as a dog training tool, and I like to kill animals....not because of my lack of education.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? The way this guy analyzes others, I thought he was some type of frustrated professional of one kind or another. Sooooo, he's just another wanna' be, huh?Quote:
Originally Posted by Jason_Montana

I made that up...or, at least I think I did. I have no idea about his educational background. I assume he is self-educated and never got the chance to bounce any of his theories off anyone other than the members of this forum.

Secondly, I find it excruciatingly difficult to believe that you are really a psychologist. Why? Because my profession requires me to interact with genuine "honest-to-goodness" professional psychologists and psychiatrists on a regular basis --- and you don't come across like they do in any way, shape, or fashion. Believe me, I have no misconceptions whatsoever about psychologists or modern psychology.
Your words - the name calling, the insults, the depricating comments, etc. - are about as carefully chosen as are French Fries from a McDonald's bag. More like verbal diarrhea if you ask me.
Argue? I argue for a living. Unfortunately for you, the people I argue with have at least a vague concept of what they're talking about. You don't.
Remy, in case you don't realize it (and you may realize it but just don't care) forums like this are for an exchange of ideas. Feel free to disagree. However, gratuitous insults and just plain trying to make other people feel intimidated or stupid doesn't fly because it inhibits rather than promotes the exchange of ideas we hope to achieve here. Unfortunately, gratuitous insults and just plain trying to make other people feel intimidated or stupid has been your style. It speaks far more about you than it does about others.
Remy. I'm not the toughest kid in town - nobody is - but I've never ever walked away from guys like you regardless of the situation.
Grow up.
...There's no place like home, & yes, Sarge is home with the Frisky Wolf Pack nipping at each other!:chair: So are we through venting? Both Crash & Rick are out of the area & tonight is "Magic"night for me. i just got back from my Mentor's home, who's a University Prof. by the way; teaches Buisness manaement. but he also is a world traveler, has a Russian Girlfriend living in Paris whom he recently visited, & more girl-friends in Vegas, & had Thanksgiving dinner there with many professional magicians, including Max maven & Lance Burton. Sorry guys, but after "Destroying Angel" you guys were a bit on the "tame" side for me. Hey Jason, you like putting extra letters in front of words? What do you get when you put a "c" in front of hick? (heh-heh.):lol: So, are we done now?:gagged:(BTW, my IQ's around 129...so why ain't I rich???)
...back to my original question; whateve happened to YouthPastor?:detective:
Sarge, Magic show, huh? If your former professor's girlfriends read your post #76 above ..... poof, you'll disappear.
My I.Q is scary high. But my shrink says my psych issues inhibit my ability to use it to the fullest.:wacko:

Well crap!! You got that wrong. Opposites attract. Since I'm neither sexually frustrated nor a homosexual, does that mean I'm attracted to them?:oops:
lol. that depends on what you are talking about. And in regards to you attracting them, I dunno, are you experiencing the same symptoms remy is describing?Quote:

REMY!!! Less than 24 hours ago you :scared: were begging the Super Moderators to shut this post down. Remember? You want to start this up again, REMY?
Are you a masochist? A narcisist? Just what are you, Remy?
Why don't you tell us your life story. The truth, this time. No more B.S. about being a psychologist or a military veteran or anything like that. Just the truth, okay? REMY?
I've read a wide range of your posts. Man, are you inconsistent. Are you just like Walter Mitty, REMY???
How many different Member names have you posted under, REMY? WHO ARE YOU???? WHAT ARE YOU???
Remy is not a person, thing, object, or belief, He is just there ...........
"a better chance to survive, alone or in a group?"
Depends on circumstances and people around you.
Some people refer to a "tribe, aboriginal or otherwise" working well but you have to realize they were that way before anything happened. They were already cohesive; at least to the outside world's point of view, inside.......... the tribe there's still politics as usual.
Maybe Remy is "YouthPastor...nahh, that'd be too easy!:lol:
I'm with old soldier all the way on this one. My wife is pretty damn skookum, but aside from her I wouldn't ever consider "teaming" with anyone. I know my physical strengths. I know my limitations. I know my mental preparation is dialed. I can't vouch for someone under stress, you never know what the hell people are going to do. Someone might be ok one minute and then sitting there crying the next. You don't want to have to drag some sobbing mess around the woods with you giving up your location and slowing you down. It'd be better to just dispatch 'em and give 'em a proper burial than to slow yourself down and give you more of a handful of B.S. to deal with than you already have.Quote:

Pretty disappointing to have to think about that, but when it's down to the wire and it's your @$$ or mine in a sling, whoever I'm dealing with had better believe it's theirs and not mine.
Doncha just hate it when yer watching a real good *itch slapping session going on in a thread and a couple of people go and start posting back to the original question of the thread. Geez, you guys, the scrappers were almost in tears here---that would've been great!
Remy,
You seem like a well read fellow. Have you read A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole?
In my head, I have painted you as the main character.
From Wikipedia-
"The central character is Ignatius J. (Jacques) Reilly, an intelligent but slothful man still living with his mother at age 30 in the city's Uptown neighborhood, who, because of family circumstances, must set out to get a job. In his quest for employment he has various adventures with colorful French Quarter characters."
Not a personal attack on you, but, from your posts, it seems to fit.
"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."
Wait... Or is that the other way around?
I liked Mental Health Professionals, because when I was medically retired from the USMC, one of them gave me a certificate certifying I was sane :tongue_smilie:
I have used it a couple of times when people thought I was crazy or accused me of doing crazy stuff. It helped
