Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 Something's wrong with this page, or my computer! It only gets down to Gunner's post, the third one down, then ends in abject confusion. Maybe this post will change things by bringing it back up to the top. Testing...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 There is a reload button on my twenty-second century fusion-slug AK-2212 'Skyway Commando' assault rifle. My computer's web browser has a refresh button, but no matter how many times I click it, robots simply will not come with soda pop and cheetoes. Anyway, the whole thing magically works now. Thanks, God. Or Ike. Whoever. I notice that a lot of us are interested in musical careers. I never picked up an instrument, myself, but that never stopped me from being a part-time listener. Jem, it's okay to pursue your art without having to make a living from it*...some of us even think that keeps it pure, in a way. I've always gotten a lot of enjoyment from creative writing without ever intending to make a penny doing so. Unless George Lucas decides he wants a personal chef/transcendental humorist for his team. Then I'm a commodity, like wheat. <font size=1>*It is, however, important to do something for a living. A lot of artists don't get that.</font> ------------------ 'Don't shoot--Your sister's in the cockpit with me!' (Customized taunt #227) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 i learned to hate all beethoven stuff i had to play and determined that he must have hated the cello. so i decided i must hate him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 Quite the opposite! Beethoven was the first in a long time to compose cello sonatas. The first, I believe, to compose them for cello and piano (instead of harpsichord). He also gave the cellos greater parts in orchestral pieces, instead of just having them play the same thing as the double basses. Nute, your particularly high score on the fag0t meter may make you unable to appreciate the great master, but never think such lies about him!

Jem Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 Originally posted by rosencrantz: hey jem where are you from in kanata and what are you doing in senegal!? ok, here is a quote answering a similar question by Admiral, it should answer your complicated question: Why am I in Senegal: Originally posted by Jem: Because my father works for the government in the Canadian Embassy (he doesn't talk much about work, maybe he's a spy ) so we change countries every 2 or 3 years, I've lived in 7 different country and started my 8th on August last year and learning a new language, the Wolof: N nga def, Jaam nga am? Wau, degg naa tuuti wolof. See I'm Canadian and I wasn't even born there (Born in Brazil) I only really knew Canada 7 years after my birth, first time I went there was 2 years after my birth (got baptised). When I lived in Canada for 3 years it was in Ottawa, Gloucester. So I'm not really from somewhere, I'm kinda from nowhere; a wondering Nomad Anyways that Rally pic is coming soon And big surprise yesterday: we got a new member in the family; his name is Charlie and he's very funny and sleeps a lot. The first night he was in sleeping in the kitchen and kept crying every 30 minutes so we decided to put him in the garage with are night guard so he could keep him company. Charlie is very funny and love to play and wiggle his tail (if anyone didn't figure it out by now Charlie is a puppy) I'll post a pic as soon as I have one. Wow, this post is way out of the thread's topic... <font size=1> [This message has been edited by Jem (edited January 29, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest garyah99 Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 Lessee....I spent 17 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, first as a Medic, then as a specialist in Aviation Physiology. I taught said subject to aircrew, jet passengers, and basically anyone that needed or wanted to fly in CF aircraft. I retired from full time service in 1996 and have spent the last 4 years in the Air Force Reserve, first as an assistant air controller in Search and Rescue, now as a Barrack Warden. I also teach Martial Arts part time. I have First Degree Black Belts in Chito-Ryu Karate and Canadian Jiu-Jitsu, I'll be testing for my second dan in Jiu-Jitsu next Fall. For fun, I'm the Choir Director at our church in Trenton. [This message has been edited by garyah99 (edited January 29, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 Beethoven hated me. I know he did. Either that or the HS orchestra director was conspiring to make me hate beethoven by only picking stuff he did that had lousy cello parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 Garyah99, you were a medic? Wow! I served as a field corpsman in the USNR. Small world...or just a lot of medics. I'm envious of the martial arts stuff. I play with swords in the back yard, but I've never studied the systems formally. It would probably throw me off at this point, because I've been mixing Japanese and French fencing forms for the last twenty years. 'Banzai-garde!'

Hey Zoom! yes I spent 5.5 years as a Medic, then remustered to an aviation physiology specialist (in Canada it's called an Aeromedical Technician). As far as Martial Arts is concerned, it's never too late. In traditional Karate-do, we don't really work with swords, as a rule. That's more of a Kendo/Aikido/Ninjitsu thing. If you want to try a simple empty hand art, try traditional Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Tae-Kwon-Do, or one of several others styles. They won't mess up what you do already with the sword. If want to use a sword in the traditional Japanese/Chinese styles, try one of the styles I mentioned before or a Kung-Fu/Tai-Chi variant. And R9, I only spent 2.5 years in the Army, the rest of my carreer, including my current status is Air Force! <font size=3> SO THERE!!!</font> <font color=white>So sorry about the double post, it's gone now.</font> [This message has been edited by garyah99 (edited February 01, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 NA-VY! NA-VY! NA-VY! Thanks for the advice on the martial arts.

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted February 2, 2001 Share Posted February 2, 2001 Wally the space dolphin thinks that communism should be forced on the people of Japan, so they will be hobbled economically and unable to form dangerous alliances with other Pacific rim nations. He also cautions that impalas are not safe animals to keep as pets, and should only be cared for by qualified personnel in a zoo setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
