FF,


NOBODY uses the Buford scale anymore! Your whole formula is based
on ravings of a deranged scientist with a broken slide rule.

Nobody, I say but nobody uses a slide rule anymore...

It's back to the drawing board guys.

Did I type Buford Scale???
I was supposed to type Burford Scale.
The Buford Scale has to do with wind strength.
Everyone knows that the BURFORD Scale has to do with thread diameters.
Clyde Burford was the husband of none other than the Issac Singer's
oldest daughter. He spent much of his time working with thread and
developed the "Burford Scale".
Sorry for the confusion.

FF,


Of course, using the Burford scale brings everything together. I always
consult his charts and tables before starting any thread or rib wraps.
His works on dubbing are also fasinating, yet sadly, unfinished.

Did type "Buford"!?!?

Of course I meant "Beaufort Scale"...
EVERYONE knows that Beaufort was the Irishman who developed the scale
that bares his name back in the early eighteen hundreds. Of course, he
was an officer in the "British" Navy at the time...

And there is NO truth to the rumor that the scale (1-12) is based on
how many potatoes a certain strength wind can roll across the deck of a
ship in ten seconds... No truth what so ever. I think.

I can't believe you even have to ask the question. I thought everyone
knew it's the square root of (n) + 3, with n being the hook size.

sheesh:no:

Last week I believe you posted a response referring to a woman as a
"Cow", now you attack a race, what should we expect from you this
coming week more of the same?

In keeping with your latest tone, should we expect to read and get
another look into your true feelings on Hispanics? African Americans?
Native Americans? some anti-semitic rhetoric from your little Neo-Nazi
handbook? Oh, how could I forget.. you know how the Irish feel about
the Pope! I just can't wait to read what you have to say about the
Pope.

As always, wondering just what you really are teaching our youth.

I'm sorry AK. I can see now how sensitive you are about certain
subjects.
But might I point out that you yourself have done nearly the same
injustice to the Irish. If I'm correct, there are a certain segment of
those that call themselves Irish that don't seem to feel the way YOU
think that they should about the Pope. You yourself have lumped ALL
the Irish into ONE category.

See how easy it may be to offend one certain group? I'm sure you did
not mean it the way you wrote it. But yes, I did mean my comment to be
a joke.
Historically speaking potatoes were an important part of many an
Irishman's(Irishwomen's, too.) (and probably Irishwomyn's,) life back
in the time that Beaufort would have been creating his scale.

It's a bit of a stretch to suggest I'm a Neo Nazi, don't you think?
But if that's what your powers of perception tell you, so be it.
I suggest you hit "ignore this user" so you aren't offended by anything
I may write in the future.

And I just wanted to check (for future reference), are the following
comments ok to make(in regards how they may be percieved by some) about
a "people" and a socio-economic class? I'm just wondering where the
line is...

"As always, more than one scalp hanging in from of my lodge.

Chief AK Skim"

"AK Skim
Former Resident of a Federal Housing Project"

Hmmm.. can you lend me YOUR copy of that handbook you mentioned?

Hummm...

Nice try.

Taking a page from your book... you still didn't answer the question.

Don't bother, I know your favorite holiday is coming soon and you must
get back to sewing your Casper the Friendly Ghost costume (I noticed
that store bought ones don't have the pointed hat like yours). Besides,
you are still transparent with or without it.

Just to set the record straight, I have an official document from the
US Government signed by then President Clinton formally recognizing me
as a Chief, and yes I have lived on Federal Reservations for most of my
life.

As always, Chief AK Skim

If you really wanted to set the record straight, I mean be REALLY
honest... "Chief" WHAT?....

AND then define "Federal Reservation"...

Stop trying to deflect us away from the fact that you have done, IN
THOSE POSTS, exactly what you called me out on. THAT my friend is
shameful.
