The All-Out Allinall Thread Boosting Post

[JudgeNot]

Of course, Sapph - you mean BOASTING - (but we knew that)  

We're boosting Mr. All so he can boast!  

[Allinall]

Shouldn't the name of this be "The All-Out Allinall post-boosting thread"?

In the event my intent were to increase the number of posts that I have in my current post standing, then yes.

In the event my intent were to increase the number of posts that I have in my current post standing, then yes.

However, were it my intent to increase the individual number of threads that I have started, then the current title for this thread would, in fact, be accurate.

So what was finally decided? I've lost count and getting more confuseder by the minute.....

Now, which intent would be my intention to imply, remains to be seen.  However, it would behoove me to point out, that I am, have been, and always will be, completely, ardently, and ecumenically against post boosting threads.

[Allinall]

Completely, mind you.

Now that would be an empty boast!  "I can rattle off jus' bout anything!"

Heh!!, would you mind not using all of those big words - they give me a headache. I'm trying to relax a few minutes before my tea and crumpets.

Ol' wha-is-name (Johnny Horton) sang "In 1814 we took a little trip, along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip..."  He also sang about Spring Time in Alaska being "40 below"...

Since he was singing about Alaska, was that "40 below" in fahrenheit or celsius?

42.

Due to the exagerated delivery of said muse, Mr. Horton would have been referring to temperatures in Fahrenheit.  It would be incongruitous with the message of said muse for the writer to be statistically, if not meterogically accurate, as the general affect of the said muse is for entertainment purposes.  "0 degrees" or "-15 degrees" is far less entertaining than "40 below."

[JudgeNot]

Ahhhh – right answer (sort of) wrong reasoning.

40 below = 40 below – it is the only common temperature of the two scales.  Also – I can assure you, I have been in temperatures colder than 40 below in the springtime in Alaska.  (In fact, I was working in Prudhoe Bay in the early 1980’s – second day of spring – temperature was -42 and the wind chill was -89.  Whoa mamma! Was that ever cold!)

The technically correct answer would be “either”.

However, Since Johnny was American, and he was singing to an American audience and Alaska is part of the U.S., Fahrenheit may be accepted as a correct answer since that is the scale used by Americans.

So I guess I can only half-celebrate a half-victory in stumping the unstumpable.



That means I will have to try twice as hard!

Alaska is part of the U.S

Not in 1814
