I thought the term was “seagull”. Flies in, shits all over everything, then flies away.
An albatross is like a big seagull (only one that almost never lands), and has the nice Monty Python tie-in. 
Apos:
Yeah, I know what an albotross is. I’m not hip to the Monty Python tie in, though.
I’m wondering if the multiple spam deal is enought to get JDCAL banned.
Johndcal’s first spam here was in nov 2001.
it’s been a year and a half since he started it.
Will he be BANNED?
??
Seagulls hang around looking for food: albatrosses are just passing through.
ALBATROSS!
Apos: OK, you win!!!
Hit the submit button too soon.
Anyway, I plagerized the “seagull” description. It’s how TJ Rogers described Jesse Jackson when he (Jackson) visited Silicon Valley several years ago to stir things up about not enough blacks being hired in high tech. If you know TJ at all, this was right on character. He’s also alleged to have returned his invitation to attend a Clinton affair with “No F***ing way” written across it (w/o the astrices). Not sure if the latter is true, but I know first hand about the seagull description.
Oh my gosh, johndcal here! It’s generally not considered SPAM if one occasionally posts to relevant discussions boards and participates at some level.
I would say I have only been warned about .01% of the time, and not banned yet.
BTW thanks for the link to my software site. I got a surprising number of hits from it.
A famous person once said, the only bad publicity is an obituary!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
So when are you going to participate?
If they start threads in Café Society about 70’s musical groups, are they Abbatrosses?
Yeah, so when are you going to participate**?**
any time you’re ready to participate we’re here for you, johndcal
Bleedin’ seabird flavour.
Assuming Jesus wasn’t The Lord And Savior ™, isn’t asking the question of the OP like asking anything anachronistic about anyone?
Was Mohammed a Particle Physicist?
Was Julius Caesar an IT engineer?
Would Joan of Arc qualified for the PGA tour?
Was Sir Isaac Newton a Gangsta Rapper?
Assuming Jesus was/is The Lord And Savior ™, the question becomes a philosophical muddle because of the whole omniscience thing. So the question IMHO is about as meaningful “Could Jesus make a burrito so big that even He couldn’t eat it?” Coincidentally, I know quite a few Jesuses of which this may be true.
Abbasolutely!
johndcal-I’ve noticed you’ve been going to the few places I’ve mentioned and responding a one or two line response. This got me wondering: Exactly how many message boards have you posted this on? If I might ask, what are they?
