Re: I cant take it anymore

Hey Animal! How are ya? Darlin' is fine.

It's the people that say AKS (AXE) when they mean ASK that drive me nuts. The other, my grandmother used to say (warsh instead of wash). How can you correct your grandma? You can't, so now that she's no longer with us physically, it seems OK to vent that it drove me to distraction.

When people "ask" me, "can I aks you a question?", I "ask" them, "is it going to hurt?".:D

Me Bro, (that's Haut Medoc), named me fer the clarity of me posts, (or more likely: the lack thereof). He was also the astute observer who called me on the fact that I have only one functioning brain cell. Mr Tree, (Treedancer), was the first one to flame me n' name me bumblin' style: "Cornpone". BB, (that's BoatBouy who named me private island "Ruby Ridge" Island) thought it was ebonics, but Mr Tree was the one who was spot on 'cause I'm a ol' white hay seed. :D:D JR

Re: I cant take it anymore

I guess about 1/4 of the crap I spout don't mean nothing but I sure do like to get them stired up to keep things moving. I'm on another forum and they drop in to see whats new and leave. No one sticks around to talk. I know I've stomped on a few toes around here but they have every right to stomp back. I love it even if some of them drop off line when I jump in....ANIMAL :D P.S. don't tell nobody, I don't even own a boat yet but I've got a 1978 and a 1958 35 hp Evinrude and a 1953 and a 1955 Scott-Atwater 7.5 hp motors to play with. The '78 is just about ready to run and the rest need restoring. :rolleyes:

This is great - two polar opposites finding common ground through a similar communication style. One by nature, the other by intent - and both equally... good.

Brothers separated at birth? Fate? Divine intervention?

If that doesn't make you believe in God what would???

Re: I cant take it anymore

How about my pet peeve? Boats have decks, houses have floors.
Last time I pointed that out on here, I got my @$$ chewed.

My biggest one is rope and line. Throw a rope in a boat, and it automatically becomes a line - no questions asked.

I will, from time to time, accidentally use corn pone. (sorry murky man) Although I ace my honors, and AP English classes, I still talk like that, (where I live, it is still acceptable, and commonly used in many parts of town) and now and then, it slips into my writing.

A rope is a rope. A line is a rope with a job, boat or not. :)

thanks for that clarification. Round here, so many people use the term rope loosely, I had forgotten about that lil' phrase.

Re: I cant take it anymore

engine-a machine by which physical power is applied to produce a physical
effect; a locomotive; (formerly) a mechanical device, such as a large catapult
,used in war.

motor -anything that produces motion; a machine for for converting electrical
energy into motion; a motor car.

So who would have thought an engine is a type motor and the word motor is a generalization for any type of power plant.

My B**ch is people who wine over dumb things.

- A line used at the beginning of a "quoted line" in order to properly quote a previous massage posted on the forums. :p

Maybe that thars just nit-picking. But I say if you're gonna do it wright... do it write right away! :rolleyes:

And I call it a motor.

"Outboard Motor"
"Outboard Engine"

Which sounds better to y'all?

Re: I cant take it anymore

This is great - two polar opposites finding common ground through a similar communication style.

Now Now: Officer Olson, are we doin' a lil' mind readin' here? How do ya know ol' Animal n' ol' Murky are polar opposites?????? Hmmmmmmm? (I thought ya always skipped over ol' Murky's terrible posts that caused ya such consternation, but ya clearly quite frequently engage ol' Animal)! Ol' Murky does obey the laws of the land in which he lives, n' Murky at least tries ta be productive n' pays his fair share of taxes, but other then those BIG differences, I can't tell that ol' Murky is all that different then ol' Animal, as some of his postins' seem ta make at least some sense (to ol' Murky anyway). Now: WillyBWright n' Murky would seem ta be more in the order of "polar opposites" er maybe bipolar opposites to a guy with only one functional brain cell; anywhooooo. Willy is clearly a real smart ace mechanic where ol' Murky clearly struggles with his single brain cell. Hard tellin' 'bout Animal.

"Similar communication style" ya say? Hmmmmmmmm, he, (ol' Animal), seems purdy clear n' ol' Murky is well: ya know a bit: murky don't ya think?? We both seem ta like "ratboats", n' old cheap motors fer the ratboats n' all, (he jus' hasn't found a black motor, [sorry: ENGINE] worth his time yet: it would seem). N' seems that Animal can spell too, soooooooo whacha tryin' ta say Willis????? Ya jus' don't like ol' Murky????? N' ya speak fer everyone here on iboats who also don't like ol' Murky either: ya say?????? Hmmmm.


One by nature, the other by intent - and both equally... good.

If that doesn't make you believe in God what would???

I jus' think it is America: Officer Olson!!!!! Not polar or bipolar. One ol' hay seed white guy with internet access livin' where it rains all the time playin' with his ol' boats n' motors n' fixin' 'em tryin' ta stay outta Joe Stalins' cross hairs, n' another one, (ol' white guy with internet access), livin' relatively large off a Uncle Joe in the South where it likely rains less playin' with his ol' boats n' motors n' likely learnin' how ta fix 'em too. Real simple. JR
