So I was looking for a seat for a motorcycle, and I google it. See if you notice anything odd about this page:

Shraff, I take back everything, just don't kill me.

I see AdminNosy's and crashfrog's avatar pics on page 4 and 3 of the results, respecively, but otherwise nothing to do with me.
Has it changed since you did the search?
(And it's "schraf", not "shraff", BTW. German-like, you know.)

well mike, it seems like you might be seeing things.
Now it's schraf and me who can't see schraf's avatar (the dead horse one).
She and I see the same thing.

This is cool: I append any member's name to Mike's search string and I get only crash and AdminNosy.

jon, nyeusigrube, jar, herepton, randman, ICANT, ICDESIGN, percy,
parasomnium, subbie, iceage, petrophysics, faith (gets 3 pictures), gasby (aka Taz Devil), Zhimbo, fallacycop
these names either bring up no pictures or many pictures.
your claim is thus refuted.
in fact, very few of the ones i tried worked--mine, your's, schraf's, crash's (can't remember any others).

rob, what's your point? this is off-topic. and if you'll notice, this was started in the coffee house--where you don't have to go through the PNT.
and yes, everyone can see your rant in all it's glory. no need to link it.

Thanks for the thought Rob, and for the efforts you went to, to propose that topic in regards to my propoed topic, etc..That was very kind of you and a pleasant surprise to see someone support me for a change, amongst all my confusions.
You see, I know I talk a lot of silliness, what with "irrefutable" and "wiz of a wiz" and "baba de bumblebee" and all that stuff, but that's just me - that's just mike. I do that because it's fun for me and it might be fun for others too, and if it puts a smile on their face then that would make my day.
But yes, perhaps this serves to cause others to disregard anything I have to say when I really do have something to say.
It's okay though, I'm not too worried about it, as one has the advantage of knowing that one is correct. But as Dumbledore says, when they suggest he is mistaken, "it's quite possible ofcourse".

" 'My dear Watson,' said he, 'I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate oneself is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers. " - Sherlock Holmes,(The Greek Interpreter)

Re: It's your own fault!
Hehe. Clever man. Solved the riddle. Might have guessed it would have been you, Sherlock. Not only do you look like a Sherlock, but you are one. You're unwittingly in an elite group called "mikey's irrefutable ones".

I just read his proposed topic. Let me tell you a short story.
When I was in high school, one of my best teachers was my psychology teacher. One time, he told us that his father had alzheimer disease. Everytime he visited his father in the clinic, he saw alzheimer patients there having conversations with each other. What they said to each other made no sense at all. There were no sentences. The combination of words might as well had been randomly put together. And yet the alzheimers conversed with each other with facial expressions as if what they were saying to each other made perfect sense to each other.
I see the same sort of situation here with you and Rob.

Disclaimer:
Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!

If ever there waz a wiz of a woz he's gone he's gone, he's gone
You have to understand - if Rob hadn't said those words, somebody else would have. Maybe I would have, maybe another. But the message would have been the same, because the message comes from the TRUTH, and the message was only for me. In times past I have spoken in the same way, because I come from the same source.
To believers, we are of the same source.
From a worldly perspective, Rob will be ranting irrationally, and his post is convoluted and jumps from pillar to post. That's because he's not ashamed to be humble, or judged as incorrect or silly, by a brother of the same worth as he. He only speaks what he deems truth, in the knowledge that he might be faced with a tumult of derisery intentions.
No one will escape the truth, in the end.
Rob seeks honour from God - not from persons. God spoke through him directly to my soul and healed me. Rob couldn't have known how much his post meant to me. It's impossible - only God knew. For me, his post was a triumph because he acted on spirit - not flesh. He wasn't ashamed to post it.
I'm not ashamed of my words either because People are all equal, despite people's petty attempts to sound greater than their brother, by dismissing his words or insulting him through their own egotistical insecurities. That is contrary to the TRUTH, which is that we are all equal to God.
I like you Gasby, and their is no offense in me. If you find offense in me, it's not my intention, I therefore apologize. I only seek that you drink of my goon-juice. My beliefs don't allow me to seek to offend others, or ever deem their opinions less than mine.
This is my final post at EvC for a period unknown, and I'm sure I'm very inconsequential, so I'll just slip out the back door.
Bye Gasbaba. Bye to everybody, for now. Mod, Buz, Phat, Ringo, Nem, Rob, Shrafffrogetc.. I shall not respond to any messages, so thanks in advance to any good intentioned messages to me.
(Apologies if I have left any threads where a response is required of me, I doubt my response was going to be that good anyway.)
