Red State 'Values'

“Poor, sarge. You are so abusive. Don't you have some customer service people to take out your misguided anger on?

Yes, Pedxing, I am living, working and educated in MA. Like I said earlier I was born in FL and lived in TX. Much of my family is still down there. I leave the lieing to others.

Now, are you saying that people from MA cannot have fun, or are you saying that people from MA cannot be regulars? Now this would be getting back to the discussion at hand.

Yes Sarge I am very mean. I’m much meaner than you. Also, I am better educated, larger, faster and more powerful. (All assumptions by a prick)

Now, I think I have a rectal extraction to perform.”

“It is not worth our time to hear your rhetoric, SS.”

“Yeah, LMAO, I noticed you put your physical size attributes on your website.

LMAO! That's the first thing I noticed.

You're a real winner there mjc!

"Hey, look at me! I'm big and smart and I put it on my website!"

PS - "Stick up his ass" doesn't mean "mean". I don't think you're mean. I think you have a stick up your ass.

PS2 - "mean faces" doesn't mean "mean" either. It means you look like you have a stick up your ass".

“mjc: Actually, I have a great admiration for Mass residents who lived in Texas. Do you know VFTT, Alpine Zone and the AMC boards.

Please send me ("pedxing") an email at backpacker.com (with "trail talk" or some such in the header so I can sort it from my daily mountain of spam). I'm always looking for people to drive up to the Whites with (especially in the winter, when I seldom solo).”

“Don't you have some customer service people to take out your misguided anger on?

Another mischaracterization by mjc to make his point.”

“It may have been a mischaracterization, but it was damn funny.”

“Oops, wrong thread.

“I for one think S-rg’s interest in mjc’s rectum is a very telling sign. Ped, can ya do a quick analysis for us? S-rge is a raving poop pirate living on the down-low isn’t he?

Holy shlt! I now know where I know S-rge from! He’s the father that lived next to Lester in American Beauty!”

“Nigal, these personal attacks are uncalled for. MJC's personal attack toward me in another thread is what prompted my remarks. I will not respond in kind to your remarks.”

“ROFLMAO

Bad Bad Nigal. Sarge made nasty personal attacks and played the manipul;ative puppet master on TT for our own good. Students should never be resentful towards their teachers. He was trying to teach us a lesson that most of us sorely needed but could not understand.

Now, he has anounced that he has stopped the nasty stuff and it is bad and mean spirited if we don't stop when he says stop.”

“Yeah, like when he whinned and demanded an apology from Sass for saying he may be happier not posting on TT and telling Mapleleaf to fukc off in the same breath.

”

“He’s the father that lived next to Lester in American Beauty!

Buhahahaha!!! :-D

Keep 'em coming...”

“Um, to NOT rewrite history, that was AFTER Sass told me to leave TT, not that it would make me happier, and it was AFTER Maple leaf called me a bad word (when I wasn't even talking to her).

therefore - no hypocricy

Nigal, shut up!

“I am a 28 year old, 6'4", 230lb, tool wielding ape that works as an Electrical Engineer for Micro Magnetics Inc.--MJC's website

Oh sarge, you always leave things out. Like the fact that i described myself as a tool wielding ape. I am sorry if my "about" page offended you.

Well I am off to the see the family for a few days.
You all have a great holiday, even sarge and ss.”

“Considering I didn't quote you, I don't know how you can say I left anything out. You actually just confirmed I was right. Thanks.”

“Man says God put him at Iron Bowl to save heart attack victim's life
Thursday, November 24, 2005
RAY MELICK
News staff writer
It seemed silly at the time, but Blake Thompson's wife suggested they pray for tickets to the Iron Bowl. A few days later a friend called with an extra pair for the life-long Alabama fan.

Thompson couldn't help but think, "God wants me at this game."

The family of Herman Culpepper is thankful God sometimes answers such trivial prayers.

Thompson, 29, who lives in unincorporated north Shelby County, was sitting with his wife, Brook, in Section 56, Row 19, seats 13 and 14 of the west upper deck at Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday night during Auburn's 28-18 victory over Alabama. That's where he heard someone call out, "Somebody get a doctor. This man is having a heart attack!"

A former National Guard combat medic, Thompson responded immediately and found the 74-year-old Culpepper sitting in his seat, not breathing, starting to turn blue.

"As a combat medic, I'd actually seen this," Thompson said. "I thought, `He's dead.' Elderly, that color, he didn't even fall over - and his wife told me he'd had three heart attacks. I thought, `He's a dead man, but I'll do what I can.'"

As fans called for paramedics, Thompson and another fan, a nurse practitioner, ripped open Culpepper's Auburn windbreaker and Auburn shirt to begin CPR. While Thompson did chest compressions, nurse Carla Moore began doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

"I couldn't find a pulse in his wrist or neck," Thompson said. "But his wife was standing there, so we went to work."

It took only a few minutes for paramedics from the East Alabama Medical Center, contracted to provide first aid for Auburn games, to arrive. They quickly attached an automated external defibrillator (AED) to Culpepper, and when the machine could not find a heartbeat, it fired electrical charges through Culpepper's body, literally shocking Culpepper back to life.


`He's doing fine':


"My understanding is that our paramedics from the first aid station on that level responded to a call for help and found a man wearing an Alabama shirt administering CPR to another man, who you've identified as Mr. Culpepper," said Dan Goslin, director of emergency medical services at the Opelika medical center.

"Our emergency medical personnel took over and transported him to East Alabama Medical Center. He woke up en route to the hospital, and my understanding is he's doing fine and was released (Tuesday).

"We're real proud of being able to help," Goslin said, "but I give all the credit to the Alabama fan who started CPR. That was very important. If Mr. Culpepper had been anywhere else, he wouldn't be with us today."


`That's how close':


Reached at his home in Dothan, Culpepper said, "They saved my life, that Alabama fan and Carla Moore and the cardiologist at the hospital, Dr. (Michael) Williams. In fact, Dr. Williams said if it had only been a few more minutes, I'd have lost my brain and kidneys. That's how close it was."

Married for 50 years and parents of three daughters, Culpepper and his wife, Mary Jane, have been regular season ticket holders at Auburn, sitting in Section 56, Row 17, seats 3 and 4 of the west upper deck since the deck opened.

Thompson, who has three sons under age 3, was attending his first Alabama game of the season.

"We usually go to several a year, but this year, due to the birth of our third child and other issues, we hadn't been able to go," he said. "We finally decided we had to go to this one, but it was so late, I told my wife tickets would be a thousand dollars a pair.

"She said, `Let's pray about it,' and I said, `Whatever.' I was thinking I wasn't going to worry God with prayer for tickets to a football game. But Thursday, a friend called and said she had two pair, and we could use two. We paid $16 over face value.

"The two pair were actually on opposite sides of the stadium. We took the pair that put us in the west upper deck, just happy to be at the game."

Thompson is a medical administrator who works at the Lighthouse Pain Clinic in Shelby County.


Sorry about the clothes:


"I know it must have looked funny," Thompson said. "I was wearing my Alabama shirt, and here I am ripping off this Auburn fan's jacket and pumping on his chest. I felt bad about having to ruin his clothes like that.

"I'd like to buy him a new windbreaker. I can promise you it will be the first Auburn stuff I've ever bought, and it seems trivial, but I'd like to do that for him."

Culpepper laughed when told of Thompson's concern for his Auburn clothes.

"That's all gone," he said. "Two Auburn shirts were a small price to pay. Tell him not to worry about it."

Mary Jane Culpepper said her husband had his first heart attack at age 38, and was forced to take an early retirement because of his heart. He's had 11 stents put in to help restore blood flow to his heart.

"I love Auburn," Herman Culpepper said. "But I think I'll quit going to ballgames now."

As for Thompson, friends who know him to be a die-hard Alabama fan were surprised when they didn't have to console him Sunday after the game.

"People were saying to me, `Aren't you disappointed?'" Thompson said. "I had a very different experience. It was very affirming, to see the way God worked. It wasn't about me, but that God had Mr. Culpepper in mind by allowing me to be there. And that's OK."

“MAN POSES AS CPR DUMMY FOR WOMEN'S TRAINING CLASS

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- A lonely 33-year-old who couldn't meet women to save his life decided to let them practice saving his life.

"It'd been years since I had a date," Randy Danielson admitted. "So the thought of posing as a CPR dummy and being kissed by a group of lovely ladies was a dream come true."

Danielson got the idea during a mandatory CPR course at work. He overheard a remark from the instructor about teaching a class at the local YWCA.

"That was too good to pass up," he said. "I created a disguise using a latex mask, gloves and a tracksuit. Once I infiltrated the classroom and hid the real dummy, all I had to do was lie there and let the women come to me.

"The mouth-to-mouth was great, but the chest compressions were a little uncomfortable," Danielson recalled.

Danielson was nearly discovered when one young woman swore she heard a heartbeat while performing resuscitation.

"Fortunately, the instructor decided it was just a loose piece of plastic in my chest," Danielson stated.

Though Danielson had intended to continue his charade for subsequent YWCA courses, his cover was blown when he was picked up to work as a crash test dummy.

“(AP) A Kansas professor whose planned course on creationism and intelligent design was canceled after he sent e-mails deriding Christian conservatives was taken to the hospital Monday following what he said was a beating.

University of Kansas religious studies professor Paul Mirecki told the Lawrence Journal-World that two men who beat him were making references to the class that was to be offered for the first time this coming spring. Originally called "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies," the course was canceled last week at Mirecki's request.

The class was added after the Kansas Board of Education decided to include more criticism of evolution in science standards for elementary and secondary students.

"I didn't know them," Mirecki said of his alleged assailants, "but I'm sure they knew me."
[...]
Mirecki told the Journal-World he was driving to breakfast when he noticed the men tailgating him in a pickup truck.

"I just pulled over hoping they would pass, and then they pulled up real close behind," he said. "They got out, and I made the mistake of getting out."

He said the men beat him on the head, shoulders and back with their fists, and possibly a metal object.

“Pretty typical of the Christian community.”

“What's Wrong with Kansas?

Still need to read that.”

“You funny little trollers! LOL”

“Christians = terrorists. This article proves it.”

“Many Christian efforts are merely money and power mongering.”

“Note - intelligent design and creationism (as commonly taught) are not necassarily compatible and mutually ratifying.

Intelligent design should not be considered an ancient myth but more of a recent unfolding discovery.”
