[Rhodes22-list] History

Slim,

Bill has already left the building but he'll get the message.

"Spare me the Jew shit".

That's a pretty harsh message.  I looked at the time stamp,  and one
of my New Year's resolutions is all about forgiveness.  Maybe, I've
been spending too much time with my minister friend, and no, there
isn't a "ghosts chance in hell I can be saved".

Still, those were harsh words.

What is 'Jew shit' anyway?  You brought it up, you define it!

Here's my 'quick and dirty' take on things.  No one had a problem when
I, or Herb, or Ed, or even Bill, was attacked on a daily basis. Do you
recall the Obama troll who posted on this list prolifically posted and
then dropped off immediately after the election?

I for one won't put a stick in  your eye, but I will remind you of
where the stick came from.

Jews.  That's where we started.  I'm an Irish drunk who is on the
leading edge of flying - that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Folks, pick your winners and losers.  I'm sticking with the
Joooooooos, the Chinks, and the rednecks.  Good luck with your own
personal program.

Brad

Here's a question ya'll need to ask yourselves - so you saved 'da
list'.  Is it worth saving?  There's a gazillion venues to mentally
masturbate about sailing.

What did you have just before you lost it?

Brad
