I think this is about all the OT stuff that's been popping up in the
woodworkers area. I don't understand why folks do it myself, but then
I feel that way about a lot of the things people do now a days. :-)

I assume that Dave is referring to Cat in Red Dwarf. Its a stretch but
this was much more obvious to me than the initial post. Does an off
off topic become back on topic?

I love it. They're bitching about OT posts by posting OT without any reference
back to the OT they're bitching about. How OT can you get?

I was initially attracted to the thread because I had hopes that it
would be about Mary Hart, which would have been fine by me but, then
again, it might have been about Gary Hart, about which I would have
been less sanguine. As it has turned out to be essentially Hartless,
I am all at sea.

Tom.

You guys are my fellow woodworker/newsgoup participants but to be more
specific, the ones who seem to want to extend the off topic thread
indefinitely. "This" being the interminable off topic thread. The Hart
Suit was a tongue in cheek refernce to a couple of off topic threads. I
thought it would be apparent. Sorry for the confusion.

An unpleasant scene from "Silence of the Lambs" comes to mind.
But it would make better use of Ms. Hart's abilities than her current job,
dontcha think?

I'm with Charlie on this one.
or, to take a page from one [or several] of my former English teachers,
let's grade this sentence.

Which guys?

I'm somewhat curious here Tom. While I would agree that Mary Hart could
be an interesting topic, what kind of mental pictures, exactly, would a
"Hart Suit" call to mind in reference to Ms Mary?
Inquiring minds want [need] to know. :-)
