lumberjim • Sep 7, 2006 9:55 pm
i wish i had more time to pay attention to him, but this 'life' thing keeps getting in my way.

lumberjim wishes we could all speak in the third person just for one day. he truly does. not enough to do it in just one thread, he would only be appeased if it were board wide. a movement. so that in laterdays, when he rereads any thread, he may find that little blip. that day where all dwellars spoke in the third person. If Flint could organize that, then, and only then, would lumberjim truly love him.
Elspode • Sep 8, 2006 12:41 am
I've noticed Flint slipping up lately, accidentally participating in a near-serious manner in some threads, or at least being not completely annoying, insulting or obtuse and posting something approaching insightful and participative in the normal sense.

When those circumstances occur, I like him.

LJ - is it alright if I speak to just Flint in second person? Is that helpful at all?
lumberjim • Sep 8, 2006 1:07 am
no, it helps me not, for it is indistinguishable from mundane banter. verily, if thou dost not cherish the notion of third person discourse, mayhap thou wouldst prefer to all speak in tones and words of yesteryear? what sayest, ye? These things would I strive to accomplish, were I but bored as stiff as Flint portends to be. Alas, I'm too fucking busy. Cockest

BigV • Sep 8, 2006 11:27 am
oooooookay.

I got a nice 2 pound, 12 ounce flint two weeks ago and I really like it. I broke off a piece the size of my thumb to give to my friend. The piece he had for his flint and steel kit was sharp but thin and small, and broke so easily that he would soon have too little to strike a spark.

I will probably break up the flint into pieces smaller pieces and get some sections of 1/4" steel stock to make up some firemaking kits for the scouts. I made a mass of charcloth the other day, too. Now all I have to do is get hold of some oakum, although I could make do with some shredded/untwisted sisal.

That third person thing weirds me out. Let me know when you're all done.

Bought from Ellensburg Agate and Bead. He had a whole box of it that he said he intended to make jewelry from, but it kept cracking on him. Those weaknesses were not a problem for me, since I intended to break it up rough anyway.

I have kept my eye out for some found materials, but much of the rock I have seen around here is basaltic or granitic (I'm not a geologist, as you can certainly tell), but I'm sure if I visited some other areas, perhaps rocky riverbeds, I could pick up some nice jasper or agate pieces. Those would be hard enough to do the job too.

My family owns land in central Texas. My father grew up out there, in "the country." He always loved to go "arrow-head hunting" (searching for arrow-heads or arrow-head fragments on the ground, particularly after a good rain, or when the fields have been plowed). Over his lifetime, he has acquired a beautiful collection. I'll get a pic posted of his main display: his finest complete arrow-heads, layed out in a design, on felt, in a wall-hanging shadow box. He always wanted to name a child "Flint" and that was me. Flint.
glatt • Sep 8, 2006 3:27 pm
Cool.

Those arrowheads would make a nice addition to the dodads thread. Or in this case, it would be a dad's dodad.
lumberjim • Sep 8, 2006 5:52 pm
lumberjim thinkest that Flint doth shrink from this challenge. Lo, does he not believe in his own might? has he not discovered the 18 threads about Sandra Day Oconnor? This can be done, I say, and with no great cost of strength. Say on, Flint. Be thy shy? Or dost thy ignore this deed thou hast been charged with for some hidden reason? Art thou nittering? Hast thou sand in thy vagina?

I haven't changed. My posts-per-day hasn't decreased, the frequency of brief one-liner posts hasn't decreased, and conversely my frequency of actual substantive posts hasn't increased. If people start arguments with me, I will still pursue it to the bitter end. In fact the only difference in my posting is that I learned how to post images, and occasionally use smilies.

I propose that you've gotten to know me, and now "read" my "tone" in a more positive light.

Nah. The frequency of substantive posts may not have increased, but the relevancy and coherence of your average post has definitely increased. :) Lots less off-the-wall, just for the hell of it stuff, more cross-connected, non-obscure stuff. You do seriously have a knack for remembering and cross-referencing prior posts and inserting them into a thread in a creative way.

I'm just glad you stuck around long enough to allow us all to adapt to each other. Come to think of it...aren't you the only AG refugee that is still here on a regular basis?

I don't consider myself an Ager refugee. I left AG a year before I came here. The AG GDB annoys the crap out of me just like flint annoys the crap out of me. I don't think is is all residual either. Alot of it probably but I logged on here after a year of absence there. How someone knew who I was after a year of absence is still a mystery. Except for their constant obsession about me.


My favorite people were from the music boards of AG.I met one of my best friends. We speak regularly on the phone and he has come from Canada to visit twice. He thinks agers like flint are sick ****s too. Since it is Shawn and I who wrote lyrics to one another. Flint along with everyone on the AG board would post all this crap of how I was writing to myself. I have had a writers block ever since. so excuse me if my hate on for him and his kind shows.


yeah I'm bitter as hell about that



Needless to say I can't stand the mindless crap and twisting of content. I don't think he is funny or smart and the level of smart threads has dramatically diminished since he came here.
