Good find, Randolf.  Thanks!  I am going to bookmark that and go back and take a look later.  I stumbled across that web site some time ago, but forgot about it.  Now, what I want to know is why are you doing passing along valid sports information on a thread such as this?  You should oughta be ashamed of yosef!

Embarrassingly, I haven't had a cocktail yet, so the jackass side of my personality hadn't cone out yet. Every now and the, I slip up and actually say something sports related. It isn't often, though.

I think some of the stuff those guys post over there is solid. They have a different setup over there, in that they don't let you sign up with a yahoo or gmail type free account and I don't use my work email for personal stuff, so I don't have an account over there. I'm think Aaron or Darrell need to get a couple of those guys over here.

Street, I am afraid that Randolf just does not have very high standards! 

Hey a win is a win . . . and this thread is now four pages long.

Holy cow, Sirhornsalot!  You sure do like setting new standards, doncha?

Four pages, all because Darrell forgot his phone. I wonder if threads like this are the reason Al Gore invented the internet.

No, No!  they are the result of Al Gore inventing the Internet!  Did you know that Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones shared a room at Harvard and the two of them served as the inspiration for the character, "Oliver" in Love Story, written by fellow Harvard alum Erich Segal?  So, I am sure that guilt by proximity assures us that Al Gore is also responsible for the creation of the Men in Black ... just sayin!

 I believe everything you wrote, except the Love Story and the Men in Black......Did you make this up, my imagination believes you are a good Fiction writer with your imagination of life. B)

 

[Randolph Duke]

I want to object to the fact this thread has run as long as it has. Even I have standards and limits.

Let's talk about important stuff.

Does anyone have any important stuff we can discuss?

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Objection duly noted.

Now, back to the important stuff.

Randolf!  PAY ATTENTION!  THIS IS the important stuff!  Remember, please, this IS the off season!

Actually, the only thing I made up is the alGore/Men in Black thing.  It is a fact that Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones either were roommates or lived across the hall from each other at Harvard.  It is also true that Erich Segal knew them both at Harvard.  There is an urban legend that the two of those were the inspiration for "Oliver" in Love Story which Erich Segal wrote.  Remember that Oliver was both upper crust (Al Gore with his politically elite family) and a rough and tumble fellow as a hockey player (Tommy Lee Jones was a cowboy from Texas and a starter at offensive tackle for a Harvard football team that went undefeated one of the seasons while he played there).  Now that Men in Black stuff, I made up for the fun of embellishment of the story, and if you even for a moment thought that might be true ... well, you should just be ashamed of yourself!    Now, that thing about Al Gore inventing the WWW ... well that is also an urban legend of sorts, except he really did say THIS in a debate for the presidency with Bill Bradley in 1999,  "I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."  Awkward, to say the least (do you also remember the "Lock Box"?), but it is also far from saying that he invented the WWW.   Now I have to tell you that somehow in the back of my mind, I have this idea that Kris Kristofferson was somehow mixed up in the Gore/Jones shenanigans at Harvard, but that may well be just a dream that I had over and over again.  I do know for a fact, however, that Kris was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in England and he also was also (I also love them double alsos) at one time a Captain in the U.S. Army.  Quite frankly, at this point, I am not so sure what of this stuff is real, and which of it is the strange machinations of some alternative reality.  But, I have to tell you, that for me, it sure is a hell of a lot of fun trying to tell the difference. 

Actually, taking some liberties with what you said!  From now on you shall address me as,  Budreau Reye:  Fiction Writer of Life!  Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Thank you my son.  Ummm, it would be nice, however, if you would wait to quote me until I have finished my opuses.  Ummm, also, may I borrow your Stick Horse?

 

[Topstarr]

Thank you my son.  May I borrow your Stick Horse?

Yes you may........I have "5" that you can choose from.  #1 is a little short from having the most rides on it.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

 

[BudreauReye]

Good for that horse!

Think of what we've achieved if we push this thing to five pages, boys.

"come'on. let's be heroic."

Never before has a vast collection of useless BS found it's way onto one single thread at Hornsports.com. We are making history folks.

When do the first practices begin?

I need a pickup truck load of landscapers mix delivered to the house. Who do I call or where do I go?

Also, who wants some free pecan. We seriously need to trim some trees. Do you know anyone who wants the wood if we cut it?

1. You just did what you needed to do. Do you have a number of bags you need? They are 3 cf bags.

2. The problem with that is that it's so easy and cheap to just go buy already cut pecan. By the time you harvest, haul it out, cut it up, split it and stack it - you've increased costs. The wood business isn't very lucrative or I'd be peddling the stuff on the side with all the wood we cut each year.

Sometimes you'll find someone who is willing to come pick it up, load it themselves, and the rest for a discounted price. The way I look at it, it's better than going to the dump.

I remember back in the days before I went into the landscape business, I use to scan the Craigslist ads for property owners wanting timber cut. That's how I found my firewood each year. When a landowner wants timber cleared, just run an ad like that and they come running.

I'm picky about firewood. I will burn pecan because I do enjoy the aroma. But my go-to is the Burr Oak we see so often here in N Texas. It cuts smooth, splits easy and has a wonderful aroma when it burns. It also cures fast.

I've got a cord of pecan on hand for smoking purposes, but I got that from limbs we've trimmed over the past year. I'm down to a cord of Oak for my fireplace. Time to start stocking back up. I normally burn two cords a winter.
