Well, great Rob, the Woodworking Gods had thought you had forgotten
them; but, I assurred them you'd come thru. Let me know when you're
prepared to ship their fair share, and I'll provide the address.

What, you're not going to insist that he include six nubile virgins as
additional offerings? You must be getting old. Um. The woodworking gods
must be getting old.

Perhaps a collection for a supply of Depends undergarments would help
him out unless that chair is waterproofed. :-)

There is too much cleavage in the one photo I have of myself. I

You'll simply have to take my word for it.

Do you have some theological objection to speaking the truth? This guy
sucks so much they need to modify the OED and put his name into the
definition of the word. The only way he could possibly suck more would be
if the whole mess had been black walnut, and someone had paid him to take
it, and some little ol' widder wimminz had given him $50,000 worth of
industrial iron for free to get it out of her barn and make more room for
her cats.

Dude, chill out. You haven't offended anyone. We're *teasing* you. It has
long been the practice here on the Wreck (ie rec.woodworking) to tell
someone how much he sucks when he has a "gloat." The original poster in
this thread most assuredly has a gloat. By telling him how much he sucks,
we reaffirm how gloatable his gloat is, and make him feel all warm and
fuzzy and stuff. It's all part of the Wreck culture, and things have been
done this way for years. Getting told you suck is about the highest honor
we can offer.

You are *not* obligated to participate in this silliness. Many don't.
Loving wood and woodworking is a great thing. We all do. We also give
each other a hard time. Like the way Larry Jaques is always ranting about
the evils of staining walnut or using poly, and the way I'm always singling
him out and giving him a hard time about everything for no particular
reason. We're a bunch of smart alecks. JOAT is one of the smarteyest
alecks of all, although I don't guess we've ever had a contest to determine
who is actually the smarteyest aleck of all. Hell, it might be me. Or
Larry Jacques. It's probably Larry. Definitely. Definitely Larry. See,
there I go singling him out again, and somewhere in the Pacific northwest
the guy is scratching his head and wondering what he did to deserve another
assault on his character. :) (At least I finally learned how to spell his
name right.) Anyway...

You walked into the middle of that, and we were trying to show you the
ropes, so to speak, in a humorous fashion. You seem to have taken it
completely the wrong way. So chill out, calm down, and hang out a bit.
I've been online in one fashion or another for years (almost as long as
there was an online to hang out in, but not quite), and I've hung out in
too many different places to count. The Wreck is special. I think even if
I sold all my wood mangling equipment tomrorow and decided to take up cat
grooming for a hobby, I'd still hang out here just for all the discussion
among friends that only tangenitally relates to wood.

Nobody can make you stay, and you're free to go as you please. Just please
don't fly off in a snit because we poked you in the ribs. The key to this
whole thing is that you shouldn't take anything too seriously unless it's
safety. Republicans and Democrats, Christians and Pagans, young and old,
male and female, Sawstop advocates and Sawstop detractors, shellac users
and Minwhacks poly-izers, Normites and Royds, the one thing we all always
agree on is the importance of keeping all your body parts in working order,
and on trying to keep the red stuff inside where it belongs.

Gadzooks. You'd better be careful saying stuff like that around here. A
lot of these geezers haven't had nice wood in decades, and they might get
too carried away.

> Must be a guy thing (no offense to the male species btw)

Probably some kind of knuckle dragging male bonding thing I guess, maybe.
We are mostly males here, and mostly geezers at that. A few wimminz. We
like wimminz, but you'll have to try not to be offended by some of the
misogynistic anti-wimminz spewing that goes on occasionally (such as
referring to you as "wimminz" for example). We are no more serious about
that than anything else. (Well, generally. As with any other group of
people, there are always genuine jerks, and there are some here too.) The
main thing you need to fit in here is to be a tool user. It doesn't really
matter what you're wearing in your pants. I know lots of men, LOTS of men,
who are completely baffled trying to figure out which end of a hammer to
use to open a can of paint, or how to drive a nail with a tubafore.

Fine then. That's much better.

Hamilton up in Kanukistan, presumably. Wherever that is. Like most Markinz
I am geographically illiterate. (There's another Wreck-ism. It can be
presumed from your email address that you are a Kanukistani. I OTOH am a
Markin. Or Merkin, or, well, choose your particular permutation of this
line of thought.)

Just don't expect me to step out of character and start being serious
again. :)

Careful Davie, the last time a wimminz offered to post a picture of too much

You've seen the pair of long johns I have where a certain posterior region
has been completely eaten away, haven't you?

I'm glad I'm not that chair.

Dammit. You got me. It's a curious phenomenon, isn't it? I experience it
a different way. I live on County Drive. C-O-U-N-T-Y dammit. It has been
a years-long struggle trying to get people to avoid typing the extra R
their fingers want to put in there. Everybody gets it wrong, even when I
warn them ahead of time.

What, you think I'm going after Jaimie's tangenitals? Not likely. SWMBO

I am sorry but I will not and can not say anything to anyone I do not
wish to say.

I'm a beginning woodworker and enjoy the hobby very much. I came here
to learn more because since highschool have always enjoyed working
with my hands and love the way wood feels in my hands when I am making
something with it. I love the way it smells when I am cutting it and
I enjoy the pride I feel when I have made something nice by my own
hand that I can use for myself or sell or give to friends.

I can find a Yahoo woodworking group to join.
Sorry to have offended you.

Jamie, just tell JOAT to pull his damned tongue out of his cheek, to get off
his butt and to welcome you to the rec... (he's harmless, seriously!)

To tell me I suck, after I post a smug post as I did is a compliment (to
me). The more "you suck"'s I get, the better I did.

...And I think I dun good!

Welcoming me is up to him. In life I've learned you can never force a
man to do what he doesn't want to do.

I think you did great too and am wondering what your plans are for the
wood but I cannot bring myself to tell you that you s***. What do you
propose on making with this wood?

Lucky you. I think I would make a clock with some of it

I will consider that after I read the FAQ for this newsgroup. If there
is one could someone point me in that direction please. Thanks.

You see the colour of the ends of the slabs?

Who knows what they're capable of :)

Yes. It is pronounced in that way. In fact it is spelled J-a-m-i-e on
my birth certificate but I happen to like the look of the other
spelling better. It seems more feminine to me.

Oh yes....thanks.

Ah! I'm glad you decided to stay a while. The wReck can be a bit
intimidating at first, but we don't bite.

Um, I guess this means that you won't be involved in the discussions of
Robin Hartl's anatomy?

The wReck has often been compared to an old General Store. You know, with
old men playing checkers in front of a pot-bellied stove, swapping stories
(lies). You'll see lots of great stuff about woodworking, but also a
fair amount of Off Topic discussion that interests the denizens here.
So you may see threads about politics, woodworking, the econonmy,
woodworking, tools, job hunting, woodworking, cooking, and maybe even
woodworking.

Yes, I suppose the jabs, name-calling, and rehashing of past mistakes is a
guy thing. It's just how we're wired, I suppose.

Man... Jamie - take a breath. Nobody's picking on you. Surely you can
discern a little humor? So it's not your chosen style of humor, I'm sure
you can at least recognize the humor that others choose. Relax and hang
around. There's plenty of good stuff here and there's plenty of not so good
stuff. Just like anything else in life. You just have to sort out what you
want and let the rest slide. And... don't take everything so dogoned
seriously.

Yeah - you don't have to tell anyone that. It's ok.

I didn't know it *was* humour but I reread the posts and I do now.
I'm still not telling anyone they suck, however. ;-)
Lots of good workworking info here I've noticed.

And for whoever said to me I was never married....I was married 20
years ago but he was an abusive drunk so I divorced him.

Now *that* IS too much information...

That could spoil even a good man's taste for cleavage.
