There's nothing wrong with entertainment being important to people. What I find offensive is this baseball record being the leading news story when there's a hell of lot more going on the world that's vastly more important. Values are skewed towards the hero-worshipping of people the majority of their fans will never meet. We all love Robyn Hitchcock on this list and most people are even-headed and logical in discussions of him and when we've met him, it's been enjoyable and respectful. And that's great. Nothing wrong with that. And yes, it's nice to see something on the news that's positive and not violent or political. What bothers me is that the only time we see people lauded, they're entertainment figures. I'm sorry you find this a tired argument, but I think I speak for a lot of people who work harder than McGuire ever will and they get no recognition at all. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 23:03:25 -0500 (CDT) From: Gregory Stuart Shell Subject: Re: Eb's birthday and McGuire On Wed, 9 Sep 1998, Danielle wrote: > Mr Shell: > Is there any pressing reason why your nauseatingly smug political > agenda should enter this discussion?

I know what crickett is and what it isn't. You Limeys and Kiwis and Aussies and Afrikkaners can all just stop it now. The joke has gone on long enough. Many many years ago, in the darkest recesses of the foulest parts of the dark towers of London, a eugenics program was conducted by the royal family. They were attempting to create a master race. Sadly, they used their own DNA, and the whole project was a complete flop. So as to avoid infecting the rest of the population of Great Britain with these aggressive, backward yokels, they sent them to America with the promise that they had really good cheeseburgers. If they had done more research, they would have found out that these "Ameriguns" were good at two things: Sailing and blowing things up. Unfortunately, the crown payed dearly for neglecting this endeavor and lost many a lunch because of it. King George, still smarting from his defeat, asked the royal chief skittlebonkerdoodleputznik (a position that no longer exists in the crown- but probably Luxemborg still has one) to come up with a devious plot to get back at the ham-fisted Americans. Crickett. The whole thing is just a very elaborate joke to make fun of Americans. I mean, it can't possibly be a real game. It was devised solely to make us feel too stupid to understand a stupid game. They even change the rules and the length of the game if it happens on a Tuesday. Bowlers, Wickets, Tests, Overs, Triffids (ha ha, gotcha), Slips? Ridiculous. Just stop it. It's like the golf game played by Lucy and Ethel. I'm tired of feeling too DNA-damaged to understand your game. The jig is up. Next scheduled tirade: How Celine Dion saved the Big Dork's life last month. Really. Happies. I really am on to you.

Why is this? Take note, sonny jim: I'm not bothering to argue with your political views. But I don't think the left-wing contingent of fegmaniax (of which Eddie 'Fucking' Tews is the most vocal example) has ever said anything to rival the sheer arrogance of your past statements regarding whether or not Democrats should breed. Besides, Eddie is vastly entertaining. I have occasionally run into people of your political persuasion who were well-informed, amusing, and erudite, even if I disagreed with their ideas. However, I think it's safe to assume that this is not one of those moments. The obnoxious tone of your last post was almost palpable, and I'm not sure whether calling Gore 'commrad' was an example of your profound ignorance, or simply an attempt to 'rile the lefties'.

I found the tone of his remarks particularly offensive (and I'm not the only one), and have for a while, and so your theory is that I should continue to bite my tongue about it. Why? Incidentally, I don't care how he spells 'comrade'. But it's rather inaccurate to portray Democrats as Communists, don't you think? > Jesus Christ, it was just > a discussion about *baseball*!
