The purpose of FreeRepublic.com's multiple message boards is to limit the topics for each board to particular topics. Posting the same message on all the boards defeats the purpose of multiple-boards for special topics. It is very annoying to see the same message on every bulletin board.

PLEASE! DO THE READERS A FAVOR. STOP CROSS-POSTING YOUR MESSAGES!

Someone finds me interesting!!

[unspun]

But, well, Texas is quite a ways.

[unspun]

First, what do you know about Arthur McGowan and why he is pinged?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Don't bother with MEG33... ask the Wedding-Guest.

(Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
O Wedding-Guest ! this soul hath been
Alone on a wide wide sea :
So lonely 'twas, that God himself
Scarce seeméd there to be.

O sweeter than the marriage-feast,
'Tis sweeter far to me,
To walk together to the kirk
With a goodly company !--

To walk together to the kirk,
And all together pray,
While each to his great Father bends,
Old men, and babes, and loving friends
And youths and maidens gay !

And to teach, by his own example, love and reverence to all things that God made and loveth.
Farewell, farewell ! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest !
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small ;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

The Mariner, whose eye is bright,
Whose beard with age is hoar,
Is gone : and now the Wedding-Guest
Turned from the bridegroom's door.

He went like one that hath been stunned,
And is of sense forlorn :
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.

"You may either pay the fine (a personal check for $100 accepted via mail, FReep-mail me and I'll give you my address), appear before the judge, or volunteer for community service (helping us comb the Seven Seas for Merchant Seaman, so we can continue to let him know what we think about his cross post). I report. You decide."

Naner! Naner! Naner! You have to take me into custody first.

Get away little tag or they will find me.

And is of sense forlorn....

So what are you trying to say?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I would ask the Wedding-Guest... but, if you read the poem, you'll see that the Mariner is compelled to travel the world, telling his tale. So, in a sense, he isn't lost. Just because you can't find someone, doesn't mean they are missing.

[unspun]

That's kinda deep. Hey, like the ocean! Yeah.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Read the whole poem... it is REALLY long, but interesting.

[Kip Lange]

I'll get back to you. MUST run NOW to get Mother's Day present. But will do some research. :p

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I will not submit to this attempted extortion! (I'd ping ten of my friends, but I'm not sure I have ten.)

[unspun]

Dang it, I'm popular.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I choose death. Do your worst.

[sultan88]

You, being a mariner, might know of the whereabouts of the lost Merchant Seaman??!!

[JustPiper]

Yeah.

Yeah! LOL twice!

[Kaslin]

Jez what I said in post 248

[Chad Fairbanks]

Already posted HERE... The 'Search' function is your friend...

Like this thread, would you say?

Amazing coincidences.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

You didn't bother to look it up in Google or Yahoo! and read it, did you? :)

[unspun]

I'm still working on this post.
