Gosh Rick, er, Pinocchio, It's been almost 24 hours since I responded to your request for links in which you called Tim a LIAR to which you promised me a response. With this silence, it would seem you've lied to me, as well. I can only surmise one thing from your continued silence: You have been busted! In reply number 7414 you said "everything I say is on this public forum and will sit here as evidence till the site closes down." You bet it will! Check post numbers 5368 and 5660 again and give me solid reasons for calling Tim a LIAR. Otherwise, everything you post on this thread will have the stench of half truths on which your arguments are based. Maybe I'll refer to you from now on as "Tricky Dick." His nose is almost as famous as Pinocchio's. Where is Rosemary Wood when you need her to erase those pesky tapes? Of course, eighteen minutes of erasures wouldn't even put a dent in the garbage you've posted on SI. You also write in post number 7414 "Those who bash me, also spend a lot of time doing something on private e-mail where they claim to be trading the "in crowd" knowledge." A lot of time? Who are you to write about how much time anybody spends doing anything? One might guess from your posts about this "private e-mail" (which you have so often called "THE SECRET E-MAIL THREAD")that frequent contributors might be Danny Jr. and Danny Sr. giving cues to buy and sell. Hell, you probably even believe all the members of that group are no doubt members of the Trilateral Commission, or, better yet, commanded by aliens through implants in their necks. No, Rick, they simply don't wish to be bothered by gnats, black ants or mosquitoes while trying to discuss in an open forum an investment they hold. You're a lousy liar, Tricky Dick. But, since you claim to have a sense of humor, let me tell you a good lie - one that is not malicious in nature and one you can tell to friends off this thread, assuming you have friends off this thread, or for that matter, a life off this thread. This lie was told to me years ago and is supposed to have won the National Liars contest. I will tell it in the first person. It concerns a worlds record held by the teller of the lie, that of the most kills with one shot from a single shot rifle. Years ago, when I was teen-ager, I spent a lot of time during the summers on my uncle's popcorn farm in Nebraska. There weren't any other kids around as my cousins were much older so I spent a lot of time horseback riding, hunting and fishing. I always wore my older cousin's old bib overalls. One day, I was riding the old gray mare down by the crick and happened to see a ten point buck standing on the other side of the crick. Well, I tied the old gray mare to a fencepost next to the popcorn field and, wading out into the crick, drew a bead on that buck with my uncle's old single shot rifle. About that time, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a bear standing on the other side of the crick from the buck. Now, if I shoot the bear the buck gets away and vice versa. I noticed there was a rock sticking out of the water in the middle of the crick. So, I quickly figured all the angles, shot the rock, splitting the bullet in two. One half went over and killed the bear and the other half got the buck. The recoil of the rifle knocked me back into the water and when I stood up I had twenty pounds of trout caught in those old bib overalls. The weight of all those fish popped the top two buttons of the overalls which flew up and killed two grouse flying overhead. Meanwhile, the spark of the rifle flew out into the popcorn field, caught it on fire and the popcorn popped and turned white. The old gray mare saw this and rolled over and froze to death. That's my worlds record for the most kills with one shot from a single shot rifle. Steve T.
