OT: My spiffy new outfit

Since I will evidently be attending my own funeral in the near future, I have decided to make myself a spiffy new six-piece outfit for this special occasion. The outfit will consist of a pair of black combat boots, which I will spit shine, a pair of blue denim jeans, a western-style shirt, a western-style tie, a blue-denim jacket, and a blue denim baseball cap. I decided to start on the jeans first, and I have already purchased the pattern, and the material. The pattern is folded, of course, so it will be necessary for me to iron it, so that it will lie down flat. After that, I will be making templates. I've designed an original sewing frame to help me with the sewing, and I am about halfway through building it right now. The frame is basically like a quilting frame, with the only difference being that I have given it a third dimension. Of course, a wire-framed manniquin would be better, though I probably won't have time to build one. I purchased a working Singer sewing machine at Toys R Us, to study the mechanism, and to dream about building one in my machine shop. Of course, I won't have the time, but, then, I suppose all that any of us can really do is to play the hand that we are dealt out by fate.

Cheers

I'm anxious to know, Mike, just what hand you've been dealt. This sounds, ahh, serious and whimsical at the same time. I mean, you can buy a pair of jeans at Wall-Mart for $10.44.

OR you could learn to drive more defensively.

Uh, didn't I just flush -that- particular false theory down the swirly last week? It didn't take much at all and numerous others chimed in as well, proving that my head's still seeing daylight. ;)

Hey, Mike. Got daylight?

Mister Jaques, I see that you consider me to be inscrutable. According to _The American Heritage=AE Dictionary of the English Language_, "Something that is inscrutable cannot be fathomed by means of investigation or scrutiny". Sir, since your entire case against me was based upon your self-professed ability to somwhow divine my inner nature, you therefore are now informing us that your case had no merit. To put it shortly, Sir, you are a fraud.

Mister Jaques, I see that you have decided to shout at me again. The last time you addressed yourself to me, you were shouting at me also. And the time before that, when you were addressing yourself to me, you were actually shouting at me one more time. Since you have already demonstrated yourself to be a fraud, why do you bother to shout? Does it look to you like I will be bowing down before you? Are you actually blind, Sir? You certainly appear to be.

Mister Jaques, what you are offering us here is a strange mixture of slander, violence and self-perceived humor. I don't see anyone laughing though, except you. Sir, I regret to inform you that your racist remark, your death threat, your slander, your shouting, and your various other forms of abuse do not make you into some sort of literary phenomenon. I regret to inform you that you have demonstrated yourself to be an asshole.

have a good day

Buy a clue, Mikey. The header words are changed regularly, as are the sig files. I happen to be using "inscrutable" and "spake" this month. (It's dark in there, isn't it?)

You consider a capitalized word "OR" to be shouting at you, you're even more of a sad and paranoid creature than I first thought.

Look at your monitor more closely. You'll eventually see -all- of us laughing at you. Hey, is your real name "Mr. Magoo"? Fess up!

You have simply GOT to be KIDDING. If this reply of yours isn't a joke, you're further insane than I could dare to imagine.

Bwahahaha! Somebody lock this bozo up, and hurry, before he causes an accident. (I almost blew tea all over my monitor while reading this schizoid ranting.)

I'll give you one point, though, Mikey. You didn't add a "c" to my last name as far too many people do.

Ta!

P.S: Every single facet of your reply to me proves your total inscrutability to anyone outside your little world, dude. Well, unless the entire thing was a joke. Then we all understand and salute you for the creativity with which it was presented.
