Have you had any such professional training?


And I learned how to be nasty from McGarrett.

Thanks guys. You are good teachers.

But why descend to those levels?

Great clip, BTW, thanks. Oscar will be missed.


I am finished with those guys but I have one last question; what the heck is Geomorphology, and who cares!

In this case 'ascend' would be the correct verb.

I suppose it should be 'go' because I am talking to all of them.

I learned this little trick from Manner of Speaking. According to MOS, we can't post photographs because we don't have the degree and training that he does.

Manner: Regicide represents all that I have described as the bitter, allegation-driven, lunatic-fringe mindset on this board. I intervened between him and his JFK conspiracy-theory fantasy world; you intervened between him and conspiracy theories in general.

We now represent all that is unholy to him. Therefore, we should not be surprised when he comes onto a thread treating a highly-respected jazz pianist's death spitting hatred and bile at us.

C'est la vie. Too bad we could not express our respects for Peterson in peace.

Gopher,

Oh well. All one can do is try to be mature and not get drawn into other's fantasy theories. No skin off my nose. ** shrug **

I just got back from Vancouver, some nice jazz clubs there. Didn't want to leave. Laughing And I shoulda appreciated Oscar more, before he was gone. Do you play any instruments?

Man....that really bummed me out when I heard about that the other day. Truly a sad day in musical history. Oscar Peterson was one of the most important jazz musicians in history, especially being one of the last remaining musicians alive that had played with Bird, Dizzy, Miles and lots of other important cats in the jazz world. The many Oscar Peterson trio albums that I have of him with one of my personal heroes on my instrument, bass, Ray Brown, have been truly inspiring to me in my musical life. Oscar Peterson was heavily influenced by Art Tatum(who was blind), who along with Bud Powell, were probably the most technically amazing jazz pianists to ever live. I saw Oscar Peterson play live once at Blues Alley in Washington D.C. in the late 90's, and this was after his stroke which left him with the full use of only his right hand and VERY LITTLE use of his left hand. Even then, he had managed to adapt and sounded almost as good as he had before his stroke. Check out his albums like "Night Train" and you can hear not only his amazing chops, but the soul of a man that really HAD some soul. Long live jazz!!

Right on basplar! Very Happy

Right. There sure seems to be a little Band of Brothers here.

MOS , it is time you start to grow up and act your age. Your compulsive run awhile back about the things that are near and dear to you showed your true colors. I would try to rehabilitate my image too.

Gopher. I would head downrange and see you if you could find any magic bullets for us. You know, by hanging on to your impossible theory, you are calling more than eighty percent of the world and science, wrong.

In Gopher's world, there are a lot of crazy people. He of course is well; in fact in a better frame of mind than G O D , himself.

Interesting association, McGarrett. I hope you are wrong but it certainly reads plausible. If it is true, this is the most mentally-unstable and genuinely disturbed person I have encountered anywhere. I distinctly recall "BJWD" attacking BLT.

Thank you for recognizing that, Regicide. By the way, it is "all right" -- that is, two words. Since you know who I am, however, you also know that if you pray to Me and I hear you, I might change that for you sometime, crazy one...Wink

You never give up, do you Gopher? Well neither do I? Any misspellings?

I see you have been working on YOUR spelling skills, JMO. Keep up the good work. And don't forget those capital I's. My apologies if that key is not working today.

WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS DOING STANDING AROUND TWIDDLING THEIR THUMBS. NO, THEIR THUMBS ARE UP THEIR ASS!

SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED.

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AT THIS POINT MOVE TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT.

JOHNSONS MEN ARE.

GET REAL AND GET TO THAT POINT

THERE IS NO *beep* EXCUSE FOR WHAT THEY DID

QUIT DEFENDING THEM

IT DOESNT MATTER IF THIS IS OSWALD. STOP FOCUSING ON THAT ISSUE FOCUS ON WHAT THE SECRET SERVICE DID AT THAT POINT.

THE ANSWER IS THEY KNEW SHOTS WERE FIRED AS SEEN BY THEIR ACTION YET THEY DID NOT MOVE TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT!

THEY HAD AN ETERNITY ( EIGHT SECONDS) TO MOVE AND PROTECT THE PRESIDENT

OF COURSE. THAT WAS NOT THEIR JOB FUCTION THAT DAY.

THEIR JOB WAS TO ENABLE THE KILLING OF THE PRESIDENT.

IF THERE IS ONE WEAK PIECE OF EVIDENCE YOU LOSERS FOCUS ON IT AND BELIEVE THE CASE HAS FALLEN APART. THE FACT IS THERE ARE A THOUSAND PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT BLOW THE OFFICIAL CASE OUT OF THE WATER YET YOU CONTINUE YOUR IDIOTIC CRUSADE TO DEFEND THE MURDERERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

YOU CALL US FREAKS YOU PEA BRAIN.

LOOK AT WHAT THE REST OF THIS PICTURE IS SAYING.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS RUN TO MCADAMS AND GET HIS PATHETIC SPIN ON THE EVIDENCE UNCOVERED.

THE MAN IN THE DOOR IS PART OF THIS PICTURE. IT DOES NOT MAKE OR BREAK THIS CASE.

QUIT FOCUSING ON THE WEAK POINTS OF WHAT HAS BEEN EXPOSED AND ADMIT WHAT HAS BEEN EXPOSED.

NO ONE SAID THE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS ARE LOOKING AT THE MAN IN THE DOORWAY.

YOU SEE. YOU DO NOT PAY ATTENTION AND YOU LOOK AT THIS THING NOT WITH ROSE COLORED GLASSES, BUT WITH NO VISION AT ALL.

YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING. WHO IS IN THAT DOOR DOESNT MATTER.

NOW START FOCUSING ON WHAT THE SECRET SERVICE DIDNT DO WHEN THE SHOTS RANG OUT.

THE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS ARE REACTING TO THE SOUND OF A SHOT. AND DID I HEAR THAT YOU ACTUALLY BUY INTO THE "IT SOUNDED LIKE A BACKFIRE OR A FIRECRACKER" !

GOOD GOD MAN. THESE ARE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS WHOSE SOLE FUNCTION OF EXISTANCE IS TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT. THEY DONT DISMISS LOUD NOISES AS FIRECRACKERS AND BACKFIRES.

UNBELIEVABLE YOU BUY INTO THE SPIN

HOOK LINE AND SINKER.

YOUR KIND IS A DYING BREED AND THERE IS ONE THING I AM SURE ABOUT. YOU WONT BE CALLING US NAMES VERY LONG

The effing testicular lesion himself, who purports to be concerned about the assassination of Kennedy, yet doesn't hesitate to post pictures from Kennedy's autopsy that were illegally stolen from his postmortem records.

MOS is getting angry again, and fails to point out that those pictures show that Kennedy was shot in the back and not the back of the neck, thus invalidating the SBT. Give it up MOS.

And this is what is funny; This guy is defending murderers but talks about burglary!


Documents show that Warren Commission member Congressman Gerald Ford pressed the panel to change its description of the wound and place it higher in Kennedy�s body. Ford wanted the wording changed to: �A bullet had entered the back of his neck slightly to the right of the spine.� The panel�s final version was: �A bullet had entered the base of the back of his neck slightly to the right of the spine.�

The arrow in the photograph below shows where the bullet had to pass through Kennedy in order to conform to the preposterous Single Bullet Theory, when the bullet actually entered Kennedy's back.
