    THAT my friend is why I stay here.

    Agreed.
    I knew you were a moron, I just kept it to myself!





    PS. Just to be blatantly obvious about it, I am completely kidding.

    PPS. I did not in fact keep it to myself. I sent a PM to everyone except Alembic extolling the extent of his moronity.

    PPPS. Actually, that's not true either. There are a few others on the list who I also consider to be a tad deficient, so I left those names off the PM list as well.

    PPPPS. So, if you did not get the PM, please don't take it personally. You might have a lot of other great qualities.

    PPPPPS. Then again, you might not.

    PPPPPPS. Seriously, hasn't anyone else ever used a scythe?

    PPPPPPPS.

    I may be a moron - but I am a well mannered, courteous and civil one.

    PS - Quit hijacking this thread - it is very discourteous.

    PPS - Moronity is not a word - that now calls into question your credibility on the scything issue.

    I also read that Slater had been caring for his father who had/has ALS, and now his mother is dying from cancer, so I imagine he was under some stress to begin with.

    He got hit hard enough to cut his head - I'd have been pretty hacked off too. I was just thinking the other day that I'm glad I don't have kids. I wouldn't want them to grow up in the society we have today.

    I Would like to thank this guy for doing what he did, and how he did it, instead of some other jerks. Like the guy last week who snapped at his job at a brewery in Conn. Man kills 8, self in Connecticut shooting rampage | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Headline | National News

    I stand corrected - I'm a degreed engineer - but that does not mean I'm not a moron.

    PS - The cutting motion you describe on the scything cut is what many describe as the shearing cut -oops - I just hijacked this thread. Perhaps I'm a hypocrite as well as having a vocabulary problem
