Boys are dumb.

You really don't know who Andy is?

Nobody at KR has ever said 'Hello im Andy, nice to meet you' that I can remember so  I dont know who Andy is.

Maybe Ive seen him, hes probably one of the obnoxious brats that I try not to associate with.

See, you do know him.  He was wearing a formal t-shirt at the Banquet.

This has officially become the most rediculous thread I have ever seen.

Wanting to fight someone over what, knowing Andy, was probably a joke, is just plain dumb.  Even if it wasn't a joke, it's still dumb.  In the end, what have you accomplished?  Look tough in front of a bunch of people who run around in the woods with plumbing supplies?  Proud day for you and your family.

In closing, no one is fighting anyone, so stop your chest pounding.

--Skimmel

PS. Since you don't know him, I will reiterate Tommy's point -- Andy is pretty awesome.

can i get an amen? like seriously this is the dumbest thing i think ive read in awhile. you seem to post on here an awful lot and im sure you have seen andy post ridiculous nonsense before. so you are gonna try and act all hard, when in reality you look like an idiot for it. good job buddy, it really worked out for you.

ps: to reiterate andy is in fact awesome

True, Elyse, boys are dumb.  Stick with men.

Ditto on Skimmel's post. This thread has been ridiculous from the start with Charlie asking for ig gold for oog books and has snowballed in stupidity from that point on.

Craig I don't think I've ever formally met you at an event, and I guess Andy hasn't either. Here is a few words of advice though. NEVER get angry over something said on the KR forums. Most of the people who are on the forums have been friends for years, and as friends tend to do, we bust each others balls. Andy is the King of ball busting, and he is the first one to make fun of me on the forums when I post something dumb. Doesn't bother me at all though, because he's just busting my balls and is a great friend of mine oog, the guy caught my wife's garter belt at my wedding 2 months ago.

Anyway, point is there is nothing to fight over here, we're all friends, Andy was just being Andy (who is awesome).

First, Andy makes silly posts... but those that don't know him, will need to be informed.

Second, Craig... by inviting Andy to take a real swing at you at next event is you inviting him to help break the rule that no real fighting or physical contact is allowed at event.  Don't turn this into the revolving door incident in which the guy said he was going to shoot you. 

Third... Charles, if you do bring the books, I won't be able to take them at event.  As I said, I share a ride with Chris, and just me him & I alone fill up his van.  He's also running the upcoming event, so he's bringing even more than usual.  If you really need to get rid of these books asap, I will look into contacting the USPS and have them do a pick-up from your house during the week before event, if it's an emergency.

I like turtles.

The self-righteous among you would do yourselves a service to apply some imagination to the perspectives of others.

ego tu absolvo

In all honesty, im still holding to the shred of hope that someone got the irony in my post if you look at the thread in sequence. Nobody caught on.

Since I seem to have raised the hackles of more than a few of you. Im sorry, that wasnt my intention.

hes andy...and he is awesome

It is true, I support Breast Cancer Awareness. 

Knowledge is power.

Got any Hunter Thompson books I can steal from you?

I love to fight.

Muster the courage to introduce yourself to me and take a swing. No im not joking.

Craig,
The idea of him actually fighting is about as absurd as me suddenly loving Psions.  Besides, you win just by being older than 5.  He's an art student....that should be enough right there...

ps: And I'm not a jerk, i just play one in real life.

pps: There is nothing wrong with selling books.

Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

Fear & Loarthing in Las Vegas

I also have a book by Oscar Zeta Acosta, "Diary of a Brown Buffalo."  Acosta was Thompson's 300 pound Samoan attorney.  Vegas is a laugh a minute.  Of course, the first time I read it I was in an altered state.  Campaign Trail was both humorous and Heavy.  Try to get some back issues of Rolling Stone from that era.  Thompson was the Domestic Politics or some such desk for them.

Ive read
Vegas,and hells angles

some of shark hunt

none of campaign trail
and id love to read the Oscar Zeta Acosta book

Putting an Acosta book aside.  Might be "Revolt of the Cockroach People" because as Tina will testify, I am in the midst of cleaning the Aegean Stables.  Will find more/others by Event.  You will be happy, Quaz.

SUR!

Got anything on Ancient Greek history/mythology/culture?

Having taken Athens in the Golden Age and Geek Mythology as graduate courses, I can say yes.  When I return from some errands I will send you a list.  I'll include period plays, like Aristophenes' works.  Do you want Plato (complete works, Jowett Edition) and Aristotle?  Please say yes

I've either read the following in their entirety or the germane sections.  With the exception of Plato and Airstotle, they were all enjoyable reads, though in some places technical.  Its kind of obvious in what area my interests are.  I can also recommend a good game "Epic of the Peloponesian War," which you can prob ably get cheap on ebay.  If not, let me know if you are interested.  I think I still have connections.  I also have a reference somewhere on coinage.  I also have lots of back issues of Military History Quarterly, which has some fine articles.  Books below will be on loan to you for as long as you need them.  I'll figure out how to get them to you.

Any topic in which you are specifically interested that is not below, let me know about and I will inquire among my associates.  I can really help you in medieval, or 20th century warfare, esp naval.  Come to think of it, any warfare.

I recall a great deal from the Athens class, so if you want, PM me and feel free to pick over my brain.
