I apologize for the delay but I’m getting spanked at work; got there at 7am and left at 10:30pm all while suffering a bleeding stomach ulcer.

OK, so again, if it wasn’t them, who was it?

lol @ the tail-chasers.

You’re incapable of praise. Busted.

J.M., I new you wouldn’t let me down. From now on, when you’re done, you can stick a chork in it.

And, I’m impressed that you are a student of the “ancient ritual”, which some of us know by it’s original name of “U!!rfohahaBS,dnaMRe!”.

I’m proud of you, J.M.

And Hay Wayne,

Absolutely no electricity, unless you can tap into someone else’s meter. You’ve got to keep expenses down. Plus, it makes it a little easier to fly under the radar if you stay off the grid. Plus 1, you can sneak up on’em better that way as well. If you need to communicate, you should consider using smoke signals…at night. They’ll never expect you to do that, anyway. They’ll never see youse guys coming.

Make sure you keep steve c well fed with east NC Que…along with all the stories you can think up about bill clinton’s happily married life…and, he won’t be any trouble.

With that, I think I’ll stick a chork in it.

Ah! I see. So you plan to be a shunner in the established tradition of Bob Goodlatte. I have no problem with that since I have no ambition to become the chief shunner some day. However, maybe SteveC should speak for himself on the issue of term limitations. It is also my impression that the shunners eschewed the use of trains in favor of good old fashioned horse and buggy technology. So I take it we are to be the modern up dated,
technologically advanced version of the shunning party. Does that mean we get to use electricity if we can afford it? I’m not sure what the point has been of this response to you but considering his usual lack of clarity, maybe Frank can figure it out for us. As I proof read it, it seems to one of his kind of posts.

You flatter me too much and I want you aboard precisely for the wisdom you bring to the shunning table. I agree to your stipulation, pending Steve C’s agreement to our agreed upon agreement, of course.

I don’t share your pessimism concerning Frank, because I know that he’s not as foolish as he plays himself to be. I still believe that we can encourage him to choose a different, more intelligent and possibly decipherable path of annoying the other Gonzos. I give up on no one, not even Frank.

As shunner-in-chief, I will be a uniter, not a divider. Well… yeah, I mean, I’ll have to do a little paring occasionally or there really won’t be any “shunning” and I have no intention of being an ineffectual shunner-in-chief. I promise to break through the wall of this bitter partisan shunning that has divided us and get this Shunning Train back on track. In my first term in office (not that I ever plan to relinquish my power, naturally), I’ll make sure we get back to the business of shunning as a blog, indivisible (again, except for those we shun). Let’s get back to shunning done right.

Funny thing, suzie, I don’t see where Art Hill indicated he was even talking about this thread. You know it’s an open thread where you can bring up anything you want. But after his comment you just brought Frank and applewood into it for some reason. Hmmm.

As a matter of fact, I do! And what I didn’t know off-hand, I summoned the knowledge through an ancient ritual known as the “elgooG fo rewoP”.

It can be called a spork or a foon, depending on preference. It’s a common usage issue and spork seems to have won the battle. Personally, I think it’s more phonetically pleasing.

What’s really gonna blow your freakin’ mind is that there are also knorks, spives, sporfs and, wait for it… chorks ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chork )!

Why, yes, Dave H, in fact I did miss that. However, I was yawning because Frank was once again repeating brainless, inane, confused, or disproven claptrap.
