you
part by raising the intellectual level of the "poetry" (?). This is the
roff saloon not an Irish pub. I have heard good poetry in saloons but
never any at all in Irish pubs.


Some of the very best poetry evolved in Irish pubs, not to mention the
literature, songs, and doggerel, and it is a tradition in good pubs to
listen very carefully and quietly to it, as often as possible, but I rather
fear they would not let you into a good one, so you are most unlikely to
experience any.

Most kind of you to offer your assistance, but the day I require it, for
poetry, doggerel, or otherwise, I will hang myself, as there would be
absolutely no point in my continued existence. Not that there is all that
much now.

Doggerel is not supposed to be "intellectual", it is supposed to be amusing.

Here, nearly beaten to my knees,
bound to lament my reading ease,
I still thank my lucky stars,
that they let me in to top class bars.

Seldom was I so dismayed,
my score was bad at Flesch Kincade,
it seems my numbers are quite bad,
but still and all, I am not sad.

For you see, I write with letters,
and do not criticise my betters,
if you feel bound to use a number,
it only means that you are dumber.

If you fall into the numbers trap,
and the numbers say your wrinting´s crap,
take heart my friend it matters not,
just relax and have a tot.

For you may fly on lyric´s wings,
while others never know these things,
dull and boring, ever earthly bound,
like empty vessels, full of jarring sound.

Numbers? merely make me laugh,
and I feel bound to gently chaff,
or even sometimes to deride,
those who seek to dent my pride.

Language is the stuff of life,
makes happiness, and hope, and strife,
and so I hold my head high, proud,
not at all by numbers, cowed.

Intellectual? maybe not,
but better than the dribbled snot,
that some spew out in various guise,
insults, foolishness, and lies.

You may well say I can not write,
you may be dumb, you may be bright,
you may indeed go straight to hell
as one who simply can not spell.

Of course you will not like my rhyme,
while guilty of a greater crime,
garbled language, quite unclear,
you are worse off than I, I fear.

The logic course I took as a u-grad was taught in the
philosophy department.


Mine too. I remember there was about 20 math majors in
the class and two philosophy majors. We math majors were
all looking for an easy general ed class, and thought
everything was pretty simple. The philosophy majors, on
the other hand, saw deep and divisive issues which needed
to be explored in depth. Which they did, while we just
stared at them.

I remember that as a poorly paraphrased version of a question on a
standard IQ test. As I remember it, the question was, how many socks
would you have to take out of the box to be sure that you would have a
matching pair?

Actually it's more like an example of a more or less infinite series of
variations on a theme that goes something like: "If an airliner from one
country crashes on the border between two other countries with which the
first does not have friendly relations and who are also at odds with one
another, where do the survivors get buried?" Listing career choices and
suggesting that those choices will affect how one approaches the problem is
an interesting twist.....largely because it's true....but it doesn't change
the fundamental nature of the trick. :)

The answer to the problem as stated is undeniably, inevitably, and
irrevocably 100%. You already have a matched pair.....nothing you pull out
of the box can change that.

Ya'll haven't heard? They've expanded it. Nowadays there's a bit more to
algebra than a/c=b.

Albert Einstein (according to "Reader's Digest", I think it was) was once
accosted at a cocktail party by a young co-ed (remember those?) who asked
him what he did. After thinking about it for a moment, he replied that he
studied algebra. She, surprised, responded that she had finished that in
her freshman year.

Here in the U.S. you can tell a lot about the social standing of various
ethnic, national, economic, religious and other groups by common reactions
to stereotypes and, more particularly, humor based on stereotypes concerning
the members of such groups. Swedes and Norwegians (remember Ole and Lena?)
are the butt of a lot of jokes in Minnesota.....Finns in Michigan's upper
peninsula.....etc. The Irish were an especially large immigrant group who
dispersed more widely in the U.S. than most others. Interestingly, the odds
are typically very good that persons telling such jokes include the butts
among their ancestors. There are exceptions of course. When the common
reaction to such humor among the population as a whole is disapproving it's
a safe bet that the group in question has not yet "arrived" at social
equality. Disparaging jokes about groups lumped together as "Arabic" are
common these days. Regardless of the body of evidence suggesting that such
are met with near universal approval, this is simply not so. Most of us are
a lot more tolerant and thoughtful than the vocal minority make apparent.

Every year at about this time, tens of millions of people in America.....a
great many more than immigration records would support.....suddenly
rediscover (if only for a few days) their Irish roots. The Irish suffered
horrible discrimination due to prejudice here during the years of their
great diaspora. Today, nobody much gives a ****. Meanwhile, most of those
millions find St. Patrick's Day celebrations sufficient reason to go out and
get drunk. Whatever.

Anyway......Conner......hm......what the hell kinda name is that, anyway?

I've made nothing of it. I have actually checked my birth record, and it
looks exactly the same today as it did the day someone inscribed it (albeit
it in an abominably difficult script) on that document. I have never bent,
folded, stapled, spindled or mutilated it and have no plans to do so at any
time in the future. Anyone who feels a desire or need to use it after I am
through with it will find it as pristine and unsullied as it was on the day
it came into my possession, missing only it's original container, a fact for
which, under the circumstances, I feel I can hardly be held legitimately
responsible.

Does that mean you now wish to be addressed as Mr. Goodbar?

Not sure what you're looking for here.

Less than I got.

Hm......well, allow me to make the observation that you had even less an
idea of what you were looking for than I did, and that you haven't got a
clue about what you got. Were you, perhaps, looking for Mr. Goodbar?

Tell you what I'll do......I'm going to assume that you had a point.
Would
you like to
share it with the rest of us?

OK, since repetition can be instructive, and since you seem to somehow
require the use of an e-tool,
Wolfgang
it's english......just accept it.

Wolfgang
who, lest anyone should feel the urge to point out that he is very easily
amused, already knows that. :)

after sweating blood in my algebra class all semester- i don't even
want
to
LOOK AT THAT ****!!!


Sweating blood....in ALGEBRA???

you're one cold -ass sonofabitch, aren't ya, riverman?
and yes, that is something that i would say to you in person- not just on
an
"anonymous" type of forum like roff- aw, ****- i hope i didn't cross that
line....

Snakefiddler- hey, wolfgang- notice how i omitted any reference to
nationality :}

Actually, I hadn't till you mentioned it. But, now that you have, it occurs
to me that "algebra" like so many words beginning with the letters "al"
comes to us originally from Arabic. Now, of course, that COULD simply have
been perfectly innocent, but in times like these......and given the well
known American propensity for nationalistic slander.....and given the
current sorry state of relations between US and them......and given your
implicit contempt for algebra......I dunno......what do you think about
"alcohol", "aldebaran", "alfresco", and "alpacino"?

At any rate, I suspect Mr. Cooke would be a great deal more interested in
your forbearance than I have any reason (beyond my somewhat suspicious name
[assuming that really IS my name], that is) to be. Wot? :)

Wolfgang
um.......ya'll would let me know if that sneaky little flesch ******* is
sneaking up on me........right? :(

She, surprised, responded that she had finished that in
her freshman year.

High School?

It's been a lot of years since I read that anecdote. I can't be certain,
but I don't think that question was answered. At any rate, I'd venture to
guess that Mr. Einstein was more surprised and impressed by being in the
presence of such a prodigy than either Myron or Ken would be.

Possibly so, however I had heard it that Mr. Einstein stated that he studied
Physics. In any case, a quick google search didn't verify it.

Meanwhile, in my 13 year career as a math teacher, I have only encountered
two students astute enough to have completed Advanced Algebra in or before
their freshman year (in high school), and neither of them was particularly
impressive. A bit arrogant and pretentious was more like it.

Nah, you didn't cross any line. I make my living causing students to sweat
blood in Algebra class. And I've been called a hell of a lot worse by many a
poor soul in exactly your position :-)

So, didja pass?

Does one add the brackets first, and then multiply? Algebraically speaking
of course.

Just to flesh it out, as it were?

Everyone missed the obvious. 0%. If you have three socks, you don't
have
a
pair.

Uh, uh. I've got a male Hershey bar. Give me four dollars, a red sock, a
ticket to Portland, a female Hershey bar, a green sock, another male
Hershey
bar, two more green socks, all the amputated letters in the state of
Florida, a battle cry, a digital camera, and I've STILL got a male Hershey
bar. Go further, and give me all the male Hershey bars in the world,
and......SURPRISE!.....I've STILL got a male Hershey bar.


Yeah, but theres that old 'inclusive, exclusive' defintion going on. Or are
you proposing that two pairs of threes doesn't beat three of a kind, since
its only two pairs....
