This is all gold. we should start a special archive.

I gave up responding to MX's stupid, argumentative posts long ago but
I continue to lurk...just for daily laughs. But I have to come out of
the shadows to say that you are right...this one is absolutely 100%
pure gold!! Between the single pilot ballast question and the "I
can't leave my mommy's apt and walk because I might spend money", its
all too much to take. Pure gold.

There was another aviatin k00k years ago named John Tarver who came up
with some similar gems. Someone archived them into a web site entitled
something like the wit and wisdom of J Tarver. He was hilarious too, but
he was better flamebait, forever calling people hamsters and insisting
that we were all his puppets and so on.
Scary thing was, he actually did work on airplanes.

Tarver was an evolution denier, too.

He was tons of fun in talk.origins.

Oh God. that takes me back.

Actually, I couldn't handle him. He gave me ice cream heaache.
I once said something like; "Tarver is the Chocolate Gatueu of loons, to
over-indulge is to risk diabetes"


And I actually know what he looks like!

I think he moved, and unlike Anthony, actually had enough intelligence to
know when he wasn't wanted. Having said that, he had a huge fan club!


I just looked. The legend lives on. ..
