ABR Rigging Thimbles

[Riggs]

Jack , off the record , if you could would you ? it might be difficult to read what I write , we know what language you speak , treestuffaneeze . Don't worry , you'll get extra stickers in the mail , a shirt , toothbrush ?nah . Make sure you get Luke to work tomorrow .

 

[Jack Pine]

Well sure I would, but I'm not the one so clearly upset over others doing the same. I'm glad there is another supplier, and not worried that David will somehow loose out in the deal. He literally invented the brand. Not the rings, but the brand and the concept without a doubt. X Rigging Rings. That won't be forgotten just because another vendor has produced a domestic version that appeals to guys like me.

Cheers.

Riggs' posts are like excerpts from a Henry Miller or William Borroughs novel.

That is some serious Lily gilding there.

Except there isn't near enough drug use to be a Borroughs excerpt.

And it could always be worse. Ever tried reading an Irvine Welsh novel?

Mac what is Lily gilding?

Yes!

 

[macswan]

Gilding the lily is a phrase pointing to how useless it would be to try to make a flower more beautiful by adding paint. It was the wrong phrase there, what I meant was turd polishing.

 

[macswan]

Also Irvine welsh is nuts. Marabou stork nightmares... I was not the same after reading that book.

"To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess."
King John - William Shakespeare

Maybe the literary version of a Jackson Pollock.



You stare. And stare. Then tilt your head, squint your eyes..... and give up. You stumble away, your feeble brain spent from searching desperately for some shred of meaning.

All in good fun Riggs.

 

[macswan]

Holy shit! So funny. It hurts...it hurts.

There should be a best of on the buzz. Individual posts. This would be in the hall of fame for me.

 

[treegongfu]

Yes that was good.

I think it just needs some rigging ring asphyxiation and soul transmigration and we have Burroughs lost work.

Hmm... if I was feeling industrious, I'd write a PHP script to extract all of his posts and run them end-to-end in one big, convoluted paragraph.

Now, that would be an award-winning post of epic entertainment value...

you can do that?

 

[JeffGu]

Sure. It would be a hell of a lot easier with access to the BBS software's database, because you could perform the data extraction with SQL strings. Considerably more steps involved if you have to data mine from the server output.

 

[theXman]

I actually, honestly think that Rigg's posts are brilliantly worded. And..... I guess you guys can't see what I see in that painting then either, huh?

 

[JeffGu]

Umm... I'm scared to ask...

 

[TreeLogic]

Nice Jeff, you techie. My brother's the Oracle DB Admin for Verbatim. He'll talk structured query language with you all day long

Squint your eyes at the original painting and maybe see this......

A broad shoulder guy in the desert, laying on the ground with a wound to his stomach.



His blood and life is leaving him, his right hand is on the wound, the spiral shows the life or spirit leaving him.



He has goggles on, likely an ATV rider that got shot trying to smuggle in counterfeit X-Rigging Rings into the country.



Lots of red in the painting to bring out the blood and violence that happened. yellow brings the desert sand into it. Spiral shows his life leaving from the wound area.
