A lot of crap is going on here, and its getting to be no fun. So Im leaving for awhile, and hopefully things will get better.

Which 'crap' are you referring to?

You mean we have a choice!!!! ;-))) Just kidding!

Ahhhh...we 'always' have a choice :D

We have the choice of posting about mysterious crap. And after choosing to do so, we have the choice of keeping it mysterious. Which may not be possible if we've taken our choice to choose leaving for a while. Which does present us with another choice...

Johnny, alotta stuff is going on everywhere, not just here. you won't improve things by trying to escape it.

But the unknown is scary...

The Prisoner: There is no escape! MMwaaahahahaha!!!

The "crap" is just part of the deal. We, as artists (some as "ar-teests", if you prefer), have to develop the ability to discern the crap from the...Well, form the non-crap. The Anticrap, if you will, and what better place to do it than here? Sure, you can walk in the park following the nocturnal creature's paths and note for yourself, "That is crap right there. That to the left is an oka tree, and therefore not crap; that piece of paper is a transcript of George W Bush's last speech and therefore is not... Well, sometimes the line is kinda blurry. The point is, you, me, and everyone else are surrounded by crap, fed a regular diet of crap, and are constantly dodging the crap and hoping it doesn't get stuck to our shoes. Among many other things it offers, this site offers a unique experience in the recognition and ignoring of...crap. So, as you can see, it actually is a public service, as well. And if you have managed to avoid reading this particular reply, you are already well on your way towards "Craprecognition". If not, more practice is needed.

The crap starts from the top. You know the old saying" S--t rolls downhill".

In some places S--t rolls uphill.

"In some places S--t rolls uphill. " It's called parenthood.

Kawecki said, "In some places S--t rolls uphill."

That is a rather vague statement, and also contrary to established knowledge regarding the physics of s--t and its interactions with hills.

I trust you have the calculations to prove this theory?

"Kawecki said, "In some places S--t rolls uphill." That is a rather vague statement, and also contrary to established knowledge regarding the physics of s--t and its interactions with hills. I trust you have the calculations to prove this theory?" Uh, this is a concept called "humor". It is meant to make others laugh. Is this concept foreign to you?

" Kawecki said, "In some places S--t rolls uphill." That is a rather vague statement, and also contrary to established knowledge regarding the physics of s--t and its interactions with hills." There are many places where a car with motor off and without brakes slowly goes up the hill. "I trust you have the calculations to prove this theory?" I also want to know how the scientists explain this observable fact.

"Uh, this is a concept called "humor". It is meant to make others laugh. Is this concept foreign to you?" Hyooo....mor? Of what is this you speak? It is a combination of the Japanese or maybe Chinese word "hu" and the British English word "Mour", meaning, "More Far East", I believe. Right? ************************ "I also want to know how the scientists explain this observable fact." I asked first. :)

I don't know, I have no scientific explanation, only can experiment it.

OK.

I refer you then to Newton's Fourth Law of Crappular Motion (not to be confused with the Immodium Law of Boweldynamics).

The physics of the matter is loosely related to the Coriolis Effect where the direction of the flow of the toilet water varies depending on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere.

In essence, gravity attracts crap.

"The physics of the matter is loosely related to the Coriolis Effect where the direction of the flow of the toilet water varies depending on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere." It's only a male's theory, your wife can tell by practical experience that water swirls in both directions.

thanks for clarifying that for us, ricardo

Nobody's yet quoted sf writer Theodore Sturgeon: "Ninety percent of everything is crap", so I will. A pedant writes:- The Coriolis force is far too feeble to have any effect on fluids on the scale of toilet bowl contents, or plug-holes for that matter, being entirely overwhelmed by fluid motion due to thermal convection, residual angular momentum, and other small localised forces. Shysters in equatorial regions impress gullible tourists, showing them bowls with water going down plugholes in opposite directions either side of the equator line (drawn on the ground). This is a conjuring trick and you should not fall for it, especially if money is demanded. Now, where did I put that life? :D

"where the direction of the flow of the toilet water varies depending on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere." You have toilet water? We only have a hole in the ground. I didn't realise I was mixing with such posh people.

"I didn't realise I was mixing with such posh people." ROFL :)

Only a hole in the ground?, you must be happy, you're a priviledged rich person. There are so many people that even haven't a hole.

A lot of crap is going on here, and its getting to be no fun. So Im leaving for awhile, and hopefully things will get better. ~~~~~~ Hope it gets better for You Johnny, and others that may feel the same. The "Fun" in this Thread, is to make Fun of Your plight. Good Luck Johnny!

Contrast, repetition, alignment & proximity - fundamentals of design discussed by Robin Williams in her book, "The Non-Designers Design Book."

It's an excellent book on design.

And this site should be full of crap.

Hi, Jumpy & Kawecki!

OMG What a riot! Thanks for the laughs. MikeJ, you're a regular comedian.. ever think you might have missed your calling? Love it!! Bobasaur: "Contrast, repetition, alignment & proximity - fundamentals of design discussed by Robin Williams in her book, "The Non-Designers Design Book." I think you mean HIS book no? Or is there another Robin Williams on the globe somewhere? tee hee ~Wolfie~

Whoa.....this DID turn into a crappy thread...good thing I wore my boots back in here..its getting deep :D Waves at Bobasaur..Hiya tater!! :D

Yes, there is. She is a female and an author of a number of excellent books on design, web design etc. That was actually one of my rare, serious comments. ;-)

'tater?" as in agi-tater? or comen-tater? or dic-tater? or just plain good ole' po-tater? Surely you didn't mean crap-i-tater. No one's called me that since my 1st Sargent died in the Crimean war. Poor bastard. I was aiming at some quail. Really. It was an accident.

**as in agi-tater? - Hmm.....ya haven't done that to me..sooo..nope, not that one

or comen-tater? - You could be one of these I suppose..you do have a way with words :D

or dic-tater? - This one..hmmm...Im thinking your wife will probably be the better one to ask this one..~LOL~

or just plain good ole' po-tater? - Well...this one is close..but your really not a spud...so I took the 'po' off of it...least I didn't add 'tot' to the end ~hehe~

Bobasaur: Well I had no idea. Learn something new everyday. Cool! "I was aiming at some quail. Really. It was an accident." - LMAO!! ~Wolfie~

'Well, form the non-crap. The Anticrap, if you will,'

That's what we most have to watch out for. When the Crap here meets the Anticrap we're really going to be in for a shit explosion :)

LMAO!! ~Wolfie~

hope things will get better too Johnny.. & take good care of yourself & the mutts on the farm
