Out for a few beers last night were we?

[lagerlout2006]

A few beers and a whole lot of this cleaning alcohol that passes for drink here in God's country. I thought I deleted this post when I came to my senses. Guess it didn't work. Back on solid food tomorrow. Moonraven has been publishing academic work and been a tenured professor since before any of us were born. Who are we to argue? If she says George W himself flew a plane into a building then it's true. She is in Mexico which as we all know is the intellectual center of the world.

Moonraven you are a princess among mere mortals. You rule. You are "da woman."

[ls650]

I sometimes think Moonraven is a short fat computer geek who lives in his mom's basement and is having a go at all the other posters.

[moonraven]

Is650--Seems to me you're not as good as some of your compinches as identifying folks on this forum. Moonraven is a professor in the same system of universities in the same state where you are--but not a "B". She is a little over 5'9", and only "fat" where it counts. You should look a fraction as good as I do at my age--in fact you probably don't now. (Men tend to age more rapidly than women.)

Moonraven is also against tenure--and has been since she began teaching in universities in the US 36 years ago....

Oh Moonraven you are experienced, educated, articulate, fat where it counts. One feels, however sometimes from your posts that you are still a little egotistical you should try a little self parody like Ludwig the real hero of Dave"s ESL cafe.

[moonraven]

Self parody would be gilding the lily, don't you think--with several posters getting their jollies parodying my name and my Native American ethnicity....who am I to compete with such stellar personalities? Besides, I am not bucking to be either a hero or a saint--that was just some drunk's idea for a new thread....

You're in heaven and the booze is lousy. (Said Stephen Jones.)

Now now--I didn't say the booze was lousy, just that you can clean the furniture with it.

"Ravin (may I shorten your name) ? What is a compinche?

Please tell us. We will assume a typo for now. Someone of your credentials would surely not use a word the Oxford Engish Dictionary says does not exist? But I don't mean to give you misery which is why I am so cool.

Did you know my Indian name is Mitch-----as in Mitch Ryder classic rock band circa 1975? Please don't call me a racist. I grew up in a city with an Indian reservation located within it. One of the few I might add. (Granted you haven't said a word.)

And why do refer to yourself in the 3rd person? Don't let your greatness go to your head. Lagerlout-he so amazing,he drink ANYTHING and still walk as far as door. He brilliant and so...smart! I wish my kids be more like him. AHHHHHHH sometimes theres a man. ...

[moonraven]

Lout:

The "compinche" post was not directed to you--but to another person who is in Mexico--and "compinche" is a term used here to refer to sidekicks, partners in crime, folks one hangs with (in this case other professors in the same system of universities--of which there are several who regularly post on Dave's.) Not a whole lot of colloquial Spanish words hang out in the Oxford Dictionary....

As I am not a reservation Indian your racism missed its target.

If you consider the mid-70s to be "classic" rock years--and not the mid-50s, you are far to young to be having even a virtual conversation with the Moonraven.

[lagerlout2006]

MR you must be in the Eastern Time Zone. Anyway I am on Beijing time and it's past my bedtime.

As for "compinche" it doesn't matter if it was directed at me or not. The fact is there is no such word. Sorry to bother you with such trivialities.

So do you look down on non Reserve -Indians? Sorry not to travel in better circles but it does not make me a racisdt. Status and non-status it doesn't matter. Maybe you are a self-hater? Don't be ashamed of who you are . (I'll stop with the advice now.) Were listening---but not for long at 3 am Beijing time. Speak now or,,,,,,,,

If you think Mitch Ryder is too recent I don't know. Have you heard Elvis died? Or was kidnapped by the CIA. Maybe he's living on a farm with Janis Joplin,Jim Morrison,Bruce Lee and John Belushi.

[mesmerod]

oh wow i just noticed this "moonraisen is my hero thread"!
awesome!

[Sekhmet]

Whoa there, Lagerlout!!!!!!!!!! Chill out!!!!!!!!! Whats with all the hollerin'??? I don't think Moonraven had any intention of insulting you, so why you taking it so hard???
Why is it that normally sane people (presumably Lagerlout IS normally sane...) turn into such complete wierdos when they join a forum???
Just my two cents........

[moonraven]

No, in fact until Lout started this silly thread--AND BEGAN TO SEND ME UNWANTED PMs--I was blissfully unaware of his existence. However, I don't know that I agree with your other point: as this is a virtual site, we have no evidence that Lout was a normal person before he joined this forum. Or that any of us were, for that matter.

That Lout is a racist and a misogynist--along with a fair number of other jokers on this forum--of that we do have evidence: his disparaging comments about women, Native Americans and now Mexicans--even to the point that he accepts as existing no other language but English (despite his woefully clumsy use of that language). Since, by analogy, Chinese also does not exist, no wonder he isn't very happy in China.

It might shock Lout to know that despite a high index of poverty and illiteracy in Mexico and in other countries of Latin America (except for Cuba and Venezuela--Cuba's literacy rate is considerably higher than that of the US), intellectuals abound here, and are exported--along with their writings to many of the world's countries. Many of them are currently teaching in US universities, or were forced to teach there while in exile from their own countries after US backed military coups sent all intellectuals (folks with brains who might disagree with a dictatorship) packing. All of this is--pardon the pun--academic, given that in the US anti-intellectualism has become so fashionable that the current president's IQ is half that of his predecessor's (and less than half that of the last intellectual US president, Jimmy Carter.

Folks who judge all the folks of Mexico's intellectualism by the number of poor campesinos who are forced to go to the US and work in lowly jobs should maybe consider what the result would be if all folks from the US (and the Uk and Canada and Australia) were judged on the basis of the folks who roam around Latin America passing themselves off as ESL teachers when their only qualification is speaking English (frequently rather tenuously.)
