So.. what about the poor saps that bought my treasure.. Five years later, they find out they could have gone to the stinking LIBRARY and gotten the same thing- without the commitment, without giving fifteen percent of their income, without all the stupidity. I'll tell you how I felt. "How could I have been such a FOOL???!!!" Oldies, you were hoodwinked, fooled, taken advantage of, bamboozled- along with the rest of us that bought old doc vics recipe book. You are the unwitting buyer of stolen property. A lot of folks have had some rather embarrassing explaining to do to the cops for this kind of thing.. It may sit well with you, it does not sit well with me.

Let's say I'm a real math whiz (only about half right..) and denounce all of the old math guys opinions, and claim to approach the subject fresh and new.. I publish a paper. "After years of dedicated, original research, I came up with a real novel concept. You can actually sum up periodic functions, that have a finite number of discontinuities, in the form of Sine and Cosine functions with varying coefficients.." Sounds pretty convincing? Maybe I oughta make some money off of it.. "They" wouldn't even get mad- they'd laugh me off the planet.. Anybody who's anybody in math knows Fourier came up with this stuff, centuries ago.. And "they" still keep his name attached to his work. But as Christians, I guess we are supposed to do less- and less..

"every woman in da kingdom belongs to da king.." Who knows- maybe he dreamed THAT little treasure up by his little own self..

Absolutely.. I think that's what I finally saw. People jumping under the coming steamroller, in the hopes of ressurecting its former "glory".. or delaying the inevitable. The last fifty bucks I handed over to that joint, I almost visibly saw it like gold, just being ****** away.. I saw that the bas*ard's didn't even CARE. No "thanks", nothing good gonna ever come out of it..

A lot of innies would consider that losing self-esteem. What purpose would they have in life without der vey? What would they do? Talk about FEAR.. Maybe the "less nobler" efforts in life have a little more merit than some have thought..

Thanks for dating that Shaz.. that was gonna be my next question :)--> This crap happened under vic's watch.. mr attention to detail, forgotten more than you can know about holy spirit, all nine all the time, no devil's gonna get in my head sonofabitch.. right under his stinking nose. Oh well. So much for the good old days..

Just over 3000 PAGES might be a closer estimate..

Ah, what difference does it make.. what difference does it make.. Let's say you work your REAR off, and produce a first class product for your company. Let's say your boss, takes your work, puts his name on it, gives it to his superiors, and gets a REAL BIG pat on the back, and promotion to boot.. Most people would consider that despicable, at the least. Well, so what? The company got the benefits of said new product, no matter HOW they got it, not matter who got the credit.. so what difference does it make? No big deal.. Tell that to the guy that worked his rear off.. Why is it, when you add religion to the mix, somehow, all the rules are supposed to be different? Well, we're supposed to be "loving".. ptooie. "Love" to me- would be to honestly give credit where credit is due.

Hey! Gotta be serious about SOME things in life..

Its nice to hear a good story once in a while.. W. was (still is) a good guy.. best I know about him. I'd still like to boil the guy in oil who ran the children's activities though..

Yep. And when the sucker can't "hold it", send him back through the corps to "fix" his spiritual water problem..

Why? Alas, I was- gullible. One of my friends around here call it Y and D- Young and Dumb. vic, on the other hand, was OLD and CUNNING. Quite the cunning plagiarist..

Can't even give him a capital "v" when I type anymore..

Oldies, its not gonna change mine either. It does however, greatly change my opinion of vic.

Yep. That was right in the middle of the class. So awe inspiring.. how magnamimous- took it all to the Gehenna, the town dump, where the fires never cease.. I wonder if he burned himself grabbing all that stuff back..

Well, have to see what can be done..

Under threat of boiling in oil, make said MOG to go back to his years of "original" research, and THOROUGHLY document all sources cited, either by direct quote, or paraphrased sources..

Some of us weren't very smart.. A Jackass throwing around greek words, looking like some kind of scholar- looked pretty convincing. They were the "expert" after all.. I think some saw through the cloud of BS right away. Others, like me, it took YEARS.. :(-->

The earlier Pressed Down was "hippie" music.. I thought vey productions kind of ruined them..

Well... Rapists USUALLY don't stop to read page twenty of Harry Potter to their victims. vic on the other hand..

In the words of da "Master"- "so WHAT then, if there are two crucified, or four.. if Jesus died on Wed. instead of good friday.." For a stickler on "accuracy", the old poop sure missed a lot of "details"..

Perhaps had a little more respect. Perhaps would INDEED would have checked out his references.. But no, the old poop wouldn't have any of THAT. Why is it, almost EVERY STINKING article, EVERY STINKING book, is almost a perfect copy of someone elses work? All but Christians should be Preposterous.. wouldn't suprise me to find that in an old bookstore somewhere, authored by someone else.. Hardly original. "Oh, by da vey, you OWE me big.. and the Almighty says so.."

Women should have "broken in" their cast iron skillets on the idiot.. That would have been an unforgettable ROA.

Hey! Now the food.. its ALWAYS about the food. At least they couldn't mess that up too bad.. state regulations and all.. Music wasn't too bad.. in EARLIER years. Nope, John u are, the egotistical, power hungry, Hugh Hefner wanabe actually did it.. ptooie.

Why does this not suprise me at all..
