I find it very odd that there is/was any doubt about who the 2 most verbose non-coin chit-chatters are/were (past tense used alternatively, as I'm relatively free from it now, all with 2 simple killfile entries). I'm sure it's not really that unobvious as long as you're not too busy proving the point while trying to justify it. Jud, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to plonk me in the name of Nick Knight, who apparently thinks that his opaque references to a couple of chitchatters are intuitively transparent to all but the most casual observer. OK, I'm ready, hit me, let's get this rat-killing overwith. If the self-declared-and-inflicted crown fits ... I bow to his written eminence-ness. He will, however, remain mostly invisible to me. I'm not trying to be nasty. I'm just not at all interested. Mostly? James the Invisible Man I access RCC through Google, which has no 'plonk' feature. Even if it did, I am thick-skinned enough to read just about every post, and wouldn't plonk anyone, much less you, whose opinions I eagerly anticipate. From the wording of Nick's response to your other post, it appeared that he had appointed you as his Hit Man ("Tell James..."). But upon now reading of your reluctance to perform the requested task, I shall go and plonk myself. I presume you're not Catholic. Otherwise, I suspect that plonking oneself could be some kind of sin. I struck a deal in advance, sort of a get out of purgatory free arrangement. James de Purified |

I occasionally am ordered to do worse, sometimes impossible, things to myself, so it won't be all that bad. Here goes........P......L......O......N......K!!!! Ooo, that actually felt good. Thanks, Nick, I needed that! James de Plonkee But, if you PLONK yourself, does that mean that you can't see or hear yourself anymore? Or, that you just can't see your posts anymore? Messing with the natural order of things - not good! Ever see "Pet Cemetery"? Not good! |

Messing with the natural order of things - not good! Ever see "Pet Cemetery"? Not good! According to M-theory, right after I plonked myself from rcc, I entered another yet unseen dimension, where I went careening around and plaguing the local talk groups for several billion years, and eventually ended up right back here. Everything looks exactly the same as it did before, except that y'all are a few hours older, while I am not. James de Time Traveler |

I believe the "plonk" originated in the early 1950's with Smilin' Ed and Sparky when Froggie the Gremlin would be asked to "plunk (plonk) his magic twanger". Can't you imagine the snickers today from any group of young boys hearing THAT? I wonder what they think about plonking somebody, never mind plonking yourself. |

Can you do that in public without getting arrested? |

First of all, the principal of my high school had the nickname of Frog, and when he came on the PA to make morning announcements, he played a little four-note xylophone at the start. We always referred to that as "Froggy twanging his magic twonger (or twonging his magic twanger, depending on which gang you were in). And we snickered plenty, so I don't have to imagine anything. 8) James de Twanger (or was it Twonger?) 'but paint the barn red and slap me silly, there I went a-chit-chatting again' |

There's sooo much to offer, here. To keep this OT: I was gonna offer them all a surprise coin. But, they chose to leave, and now the offer is off the table. Sorry, they lose. Eric Babula |
