    PATRIOT MISSILES THAT IS!!!!!!!
    
    
    
    
    I think the federal government should allow the private sale of Patriot
    Missiles to the public and stop eroding the second ammendment!

    So are we talking about issuing guns here or what?

yes....guns guns guns...we need them, we knead them, we love them, we kill with
them, we protect ourselves with them, we gain lots of other people's personal
belongings & money with them, we can saw a person in � with them, we can blow a
big whole is someone with them, we allow security guards to use them, we allow
women to use them, we allow men to use them, but get all sick inside when a kid
uses them. 

	I like the word them.

    This topic is absolute mince....

    _Gentle On My Mind_.  Didn't Dean Martin sing that?  I don't know who
    actually wrote it.
     

John Hartford, no?

    Glen Campbell.  

<---- gak!

    It was in fact written by John Hartford and sung by Glen Campbell.
    
    -Jack

    John Hartford wrote Gentle on My Mind. Glen Campbell had a big hit with
    it, but it's been recorded by many other singers as well.
    
    Incidentally, Glen Campbell is now playing bagpipes as part of his
    act. 

    Notes clash.
    
    Hmm. Should one of the offenders be aborted, or face the death penalty?

    I will die so that you may live.  You said more in your note so you are
    more worthy!!

    Thanks for jumping on that grenade for us Jack.  We appreciate it.  We

    Is that a gun in your speedo, or are you just glad to see me?

    Oops!!  It's now a gun note!!

    I alluz knowed that guy wuz no gentleman.  A gentleman is a guy who
    knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn't.

    Heeeeeyyy!
    
    	Did someone mention guns!....
    
    		Must be time for the wild west to speak up in defense of
    all things in-defensable....but just plum right!
    
    Guns, Guns n' more guns.  It's the perfect answer to those nagging
    questions!
    
    	Trust me...if'n there were more guns n' less mamby pamby's out
    there, we wouldn't need to digest the thought of Glen Campbell playin'
    with his bag pipe!
    

    Can everybody podner or do you have to me a mod to be able to ?

    Bagpipes are nice.  At a wedding I went to in September, there was a
    bagpiper outside of the church before and after the service.
    
    I liked it.  I did.

    >bagpiper outside of the church before and after the service.

    he/she is just a piper

re: .bagpipes

This conversation reminds me of the dinner from hell I had a few weeks ago :

I took my sister in law, her husband and my wife out to dinner at a nice
seafood restaruant overlooking the inlet in Ft Pierce, FLA on the day after
St. Pat's day - sat down, ordered drinks and appetizers and out comes 4(!!!)
guys with bagpipes plus 1 with a big friggin' drum and they proceed to
'serenade' the dining room!! After much complaining (from just about everybody
in the room!) they finally left - only to return 1/2 hour later to do it again!
I can't understand WHAT was going through the mind of of the manager of that
place - We watched the front door during dinner and estimated that 75% of the
customers walking in, just turned around and walked out again.

    Is that so?  My dictionary does say "bagpiper", but anything is
    possible.  Thank you for your input.
    
    You learn something new every day 8^).

    
    
    don't worry about it deb...we all know you are never wrong... :>
    
    
    and i, too, like bagpipe music...to a point, of course...not saying
    that i'd go out and buy the latest cd, but i can agree that the
    scenerio which deb described (bagpipes at a wedding) would be rather
    nice...
    
    

    
>>    Is that so?  My dictionary does say "bagpiper", but anything is
>>    possible.  Thank you for your input.

	Chambers dictionary says it's either.  "Piper" is "a player on a pipe,
	esp. a bagpipe".  

	I was concerned - it looked as though mz deb had erred there for
	a second.  Now my world makes sense again.

    Don't think that all n-million kinds of pipes sound like the Scottish
    Pib Mhor (sp). Most other kinds of pipes actually play in tune, for one
    thing.
    My favourites:
    Northumbrian pipes (blown by a bellows worked by the piper's elbow)
    Irish Uillean pipes (ditto - also incorporating the "regulators" which
    enable chordal changes to be played on the drones - if you've heard
    Planxty this is the pipe they use)
    Scottish Cauld Wind pipes - same as Northumbrian but different...
    
    The German for bagpipe is Dudelsack - I kid you not !

    Oh goody.  More queasy listening for our enjoyment.  Where is that
    worst vocalist note anyway?  Add Glen C. to the distinguished ranks of
    the likes of Mr. Manifold please.

    I take exception to the depiction of Manilow as a bad singer you
    JEZEBEL!!!

    Yes Jack you certainly are an exception when it comes to Mr.
    Manglednose.  Free clue while I am at it, I cannot be a Jezebel.  It'S
    not possible, I checked.   
    
    Brian 

    Oh...sorry.  Glen told me!!

	prove it martin!!!!

    Manilow's not such a bad singer; he just has pap for songs, is all.

    
    Oh...I'm sorry.  I thought it was you that told me he was an
    uncircumcised Philistine!

    I've been scratching my head trying to think of same
    praise for Barry Manifold, and I think I finally
    found it:

    He's almost as good as Neil Diamond.

    -b

    You people are heretics!!!!

    No, Chelsea and Brian have good points.  Manyfolds can certainly carry
    a tune and is arguably adept at making sounds on the piano.  He just
    isn't very imaginative with his panderings of shallow and banal
    ballads.

	I think Brian will agree with me that I don't know anything about
either of these 2 things. 

	

        Mary Bendylegs?   Urrrrple ....  He and ND are the only folks I
        know who do first generation elevator music.
        	

    for the record, I agree with Glen on the UP thing.  He cannot confirm.

hee hee hee hee..... 

    
    
    i guess now would not be a good time to admit i own (and like) both nd
    and bm tapes or cds....
    
    
    

    bm tapes?  how appropo, no?

    
    
    actually, it's the nd tape and the bm cd...greatest hits...
    
    

    I confess I own an Air Supply tape -- but my mother gave it to me.
    
    Mom's a big Neil Diamond fan (actually went to his concerts).  He had
    some good stuff in his earlier years, but now it's pretty much pap. 
    But anyone who wrote for the Monkees can't be all bad....

    
    
    i own an airsupply tape, too....

    Well, what a coincidence! I own Jethro Tull's Aqualung! :-)

    I find that an air supply is very useful if you like to breathe, hence
    the sports figures that tape their noses up...
