Hey MYOB

The Wolverines should of course be recognized as being the number 1 bar none as having the highest percentage of college football wins and most overall wins ever in history. It is a well-deserved honor. The USC Trojans come in ranking at number 7 percentage and overall wins.

But, (you know there is always going to be a but that somehow always slips in) the winning chances are very dismal for Wolverines when coming up against Trojans. They usually get whopped and sent home packing with their tails between their legs.

Hey...you guys know the rules.

No politics, religion, or College Bowl Game discussions.

College Bowl Game discussions.

Wow Dave I apoligize. You know how the OT is - one thing leads to another
first it's toilet bowls and all the sudden it's religion (college bowls). It's a good thing you reminded us or we might have gone into cult worship (golf).

Ah yes... the memories ... The Asti Spumante Code by Toby Clements (vintage 2005) has a richly palatable smooth flavor, but you should first read The Da Vinci Code by David Brown (vintage 2003), for a sparkling taste in contrast and fine parody.

Um... Dan Brown. David I believe may be his brother. He never wrote a book but is believed to have drunk Asti.

And you bitch about me misspelling crap. Geesh.

Great! Marked it in my daybook and will have bottles of Tosti on ice waiting! After you get settled and all, give me a call and we will make plans! I'll PM you my phone number!

Um... It was not a misspelling; as I never have misspelled anything in my whole life, except maybe the odd French word or two. Butt, David Brown was spelled perfectly correct. There was just merely a case of mistaken identity.

David Brown was actually the author of "Leonardo Da Vinci: Origins of a Genius", (vintage 1998), which explores the developmental processes that culminated from the early years into the creative genius of Da Vinci. Dan Brown (no relation), wrote the assailed "The Da Vinci Code". As far as I know, neither David Brown nor Dan Brown ever had a drink of Asti, but there is some evidence of its influence when Toby Clements wrote "The Asti Spumante Code". However, it had no effect whatsover on his spelling, contrary to others who drink too much Asti.

Um yep, you're getting old, your bridging assumptions aren't clearing shore on one side. I didn't say you misspelled - I said you bitch at me for spelling.......and what I meant is you harp on trivia when your own mistakes are quite impressive. LOL.

Considering both Dan and David were studying at least parts of the same subject........a subject which more than likely took them each to Italy at one point in time, I think it would be safe to assume if either were not tea-totalers that they would have at least had a taste of the Tosti, being that it is the home of the drink and it's quite popular in its home country as well as in the States.

Dan and David might also have found themselves acting as if they were related if ever in circumstance to be imbibing together....... and the spelling wouldn't have mattered - that is what editors and critics are for.

[myob]

I have never really been good with names, even in my youth. But when I was in fourth grade, I was the school spelling bee champion for three years in a row.

So I'm not bitching at you for misspelling, per se. As a gentleman and a scholar, I have often noted that one's grammar and spelling are a reflection on the soundness of said one's research and facts.

Careless spelling and grammar correlates with careless factual information. Your careless assumption that David Brown and Dan Brown were either related, acquaintances and/or imbibers specifically of Tosti all based solely on their assumed commonality of sojourning to Italy is most startling. The wildest supposition from the facts does not support this conclusion. Your world spins around Asti, and it soberly explains all of your misspellings, slurs in grammar, and non-sequitur logic.

Dan Brown traveled the world in researching his book "The DaVinci Code", and may just as likely be assumed that as he stopped at many different ports for research and arrayed refreshments, it all finally culminated in a stupor while writing among fellow drunken sailors. Any remote allusion to the specificity of Tosti has never reached literaria.

Nor is there any evidence of David Brown ever even stepping out of the National Museum of New York for a drink much less visiting Italy while researching and writing his masterpiece "Leonardo Da Vinci: Origins of a Genius". It is a highly acclaimed opus magnum of the genius' early development.

Now we come to Toby Clements, author of "The Asti Spumante Code". Therein is much familiarity with the drink in question, and a strong case or more can be made for his sparkling insight into the fallability of "The DaVinci Code" as was so much inspired by so much imbibing.

But, both spelling and the facts really do matter; they matter alot, no matter how so trivial you think them to be. And this is not bitching, nor harping on trivia. As case in point; there were several misspelled words and grammatical errors in "The DaVinci Code", so the correlation with spelling and grammar to factual error is very high.

In this tri-tease (or more properly - treatise) I am only trying to elevate you to a higher standard of responsibility, accuracy, and factual representation for which you may not be accustomed. Butt don't take it the wrong way.

Just being anal.

Gee Paul I really appreciate the sociolinguistics 101 review of the importance of spelling. I guess I have just become arrogant enough to perhaps have figured it was a tad bit okay to eschew some of the more fine literary intricacies of the language in a thread which rests on the pivotal theme of Asti...while also eschewing research about two authors who delved into similar subject matter and who may also hold similar real names. Although I believe one may have actually adopted the name during the course of becoming an author it was rather careless of me to forgo the proper research before indulging in mindless jocularity which may have been resultantly juxtaposed and caused injury when reader's necks were wrenched in like manner to that of the RCA dog. It was extremely crass of me, to say the least.

It is indeed a fact that I mistook the weight of the matter, which shows it to be of massive gravity, and I had just treated it like a different matter with no weight altogether, which would render it anti-matter and fully realize I could have imploded the forum. It did not do so.

I therefore can state with all assurity that the Halderon Collider is safe for use on this planet.

[myob]

That is much, much better, Sal. Very impressive. Your authorative style enhanced by impeccable spelling raises your credibility to new heights. Extensive research in the juxtaposition of weighty matters with light matter has been proven to be effectively achieved through a common vector of jocular obfuscation. What really matters is the transposition of matter and gravity with energy and time, which means the evocation of a sense of wonder for some, and leaving others in a sense of wonder of what this means.

However, in view of your esteemed status achieved through euphony of the abstruse and jocular obfuscation, my objurgation of your spelling prowess is hereby absolved. One question, however, remains. Is the Halderon Collider safe for use on other planets? Aliens from the Galactic Federation Local Group are concerned that your certification is only for Earth. Your assurance carries a lot of weight in a matter of such gravity.

[HeySal]

One question, however, remains. Is the Halderon Collider safe for use on other planets?

Uh...I'd hesitate to use it on a Jovian planet such as Jupitor. God knows... they're ALL bozons on that bus.

Dave, you are absolutely brilliant! No one else noticed things didn't add up quite right.
Actually 4th grade was the best five years of my life. It was the math that held me back.
The last three years was when I had my spelling bee championships after finally beating
Mary Beth, hands down. She was a whiz at math, especially in multiplication, and I
learned a lot from her, mostly with my hands down her. She went on to 5th grade after
three years, though, which left me alone with all the little kids. (None of them mine)

Luckily, the teacher noticed all my prurient interests and moved me on to the ninth grade.
But even now, that was a time of my most fondling memories, and I have never lost that
child-like wonder and sense of curiosity engendered so long ago. The sum of all those
experiences, minus the pain of premature withdrawal, has multiplied the joys manifold of
friends so long divided. The words may be forgotten, but that unforgettable winning spirit
of the spelling bee championships will always be the real reason for my incessant swagger
and broad, bright smile. Most people, however, think I've just been drinking too much Asti.
