Stan, I can help you with the "Selah" thing. In the book of Psalms, in the Bible, King David often closed his poems off with the word Selah. On a single line. Biblical scholars aren't absolutely certain of it's exact meaning but it is generally accepted as an invitation to pause, reflect, or meditate on the aforementioned poem. AM

Re: "selah" Actually Stan, I prefer the rapster departing salutation: not "selah," but: "seeyuh" :-)

"Useless as tits on a boar hog"=well known midwestern colloquialism. As far as "ELON going tits up," I guess I should have practiced equality and political correctness by using the alternative term, "GONADS UP." That offend you less? Let me see if I got this right so far: 1) I offend you when I *OCCASIONALLY* use CAPITALS in a 700 word post. 2) I offend you by constructive criticism that is not just offered with civility and timely posting, by also was accompanied by 2 valid suggestions PLUS...<---oh, damn, there goes that CAPS' key again...PLUS DEMONSTRATED a willingness to consider others' suggestions. 3) I offend you by using what is "polite conversational references where I grew up." You now wish I should apologize for the accident of my birth region? *DID I MISS ANY FROM YOU IN PARTICULAR?* Anything I do that does NOT offend you? I promise to hold my breath until you say you like me. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZUS If grownups on here need to explain to either wide-eyed innocent spouses of the feminine persuasion or underage children the facts of "farm life," and the purpose of TEETS on the male boar, then so be it. Do you REEEEEALLY want me to expand this thread's zoological knowledge of the behavioral characteristics of "simians" or can we leave zo-lessons to just bovine genre'?<g> Might there be some fascinating parallels to be drawn between Gs&Ks and their zoologically coordinated behaviors with either G&K seekers or G&K players? Sounds absolutely fascinating. Ever stand transfixed at a G cage at a national zoo? We could expand the discussion there... opps, silly me...there I go again...making another "suggestion" on this thread... FWIW: I don't know very many "soft" miners...not a prized characteristic among my peers. But I did pet a new baby kitty this morning, and I kissed my Mother....I believe at least once since I turned 21...so there ARE some redeeming qualities...just NOT in my investments, yes?
