I'll ask him.

No, really. I heard it from an old timer who goes by the name of
Yellowstone Kenny. I think he worked as the camp bitch for some outfit
one summer, and he used to hang out in a bar in Gardiner, so you gotta
believe it. Yellowstone K. said he went on an epic search for Fawn Lake
and couldn't find it, so that's that.

Heh, the story gets better and better over time. When we get
a cyclops and sirens and battles and arrows in the heel, *then*
we'll have an epic. Until then it's just a pedestrian tale
that's either a tragedy or a comedy, depending on your point
of view.

We do get conflicting reports about Fawn Lake from time to time.

Yeah, that's the comedy part. LOL !

Most of the folks who have been here a while know exactly where the
comedy is.

True enough, but there is often considerable confusion about the
respective roles involved, whether one is the butt of a joke, just a
plain asshole, or stupid, obviously has some bearing on the matter. As
of course does the individual perception of "humour" as such. Not
everybody thinks a broken leg, lamentable ignorance, or rank
stupidity, is funny.

Precisely why it's funny.

On the contrary, everybody DOES think it's funny......there's just a
bit of a difference of opinion as to WHEN (which is to say to whom it
is happening and when and under what circumstances) it's funny.

giles
who would long ago have gotten extremely bored with explaining the
simplest of concepts to the same thick-headed people over and over and
over and over and over and over........if it wasn't so goddamned
funny.

It's both, depending on your point of view, of course. I take it as a
comedy.

Correct. ROTFL.
