    The brotherhood of plumbers union chapter "IOU MY 2 CENTS", has voted and unilaterally decided that COOP is a communist pig in addition to being a poor plumber, while the Amoco gas station chain refused to sell him his PhD diploma.

    Good bye and good riddance

    Let me take that back. Moron Squared is insufficent after all. Let's try Latin: Stupidus Maximus. Now there's something.

    You have a lot of misconceptions, not to mention emotional issues. But I shall continue to publish my personal correspondence whenever I choose. Thanks for your concern.

    Considering your constant refrain about "turning the other cheek," that doesn't apply when one casts the first stone. You'll note, Your Egoness, that Jesus often made mincemeat of the "superior" rabbis and religious leaders.

    Do I pay the bill for this diagnosis in Sheckels, mockery or asking how could you possibly be that dumb and retain a Republican title? Was there a typo in your birth certificate? There is nothing more accurate and more precise than a remote diagnosis of a person's mental state. On the other hand, we plumbers don't remember that "Jesus made mincemeat of the "superior" rabbis and religious leaders. We plumbers hold these truths to be self-evident. Jesus was a Jew. The Talmud has preceded his birth by some 4000 years, today is Adar1 7, year 5765. By the time Jesus was born the Hebrew teachings have been intricately and deeply woven into the fabric of their daily lives. Some of the most important threads were: Sanctity of human life (today it can be compared to abortion), "he who saves one life, it is as if he had saved the world entire". After thousands of years of such thinking how in the name of God would Jesus carry a bazooka and make minced meat out of anybody? Not compliant with the laws of logic (within the plumber's division).
    Yes there was a fierce competition for the stupidest remarks but you are the clear winner, I just, can't find the appropriate prize. Moron is insufficient, how about moron squared (as in mathematics?) You may have gotten the instructions how to take your foot out of your mouth by now, even that is a moot point, you're so far gone. Have fun and see if there are any Fascists here, those are naturally inclined to violent thought you ascribed to Jesus.

    "Apparently I am, Doctor. But I do know what the word "synonym" means." <-those were your words, right? Oh, so you're a doctor too? I hope you don't get all the morons that I got. In regards to your smart/intelligent start taking your foot out of your mouth slowly by applying the following technique: Main Entry: in•tel•li•gent Pronunciation: in-'te-l&-j&nt Function: adjective Etymology: Latin intelligent-, intelligens, present participle of intelligere, intellegere to understand, from inter- + legere to gather, select -- more at LEGEND 1 a : having or indicating a high or satisfactory degree of intelligence and mental capacity b : revealing or reflecting good judgment or sound thought : SKILLFUL 2 a : possessing intelligence b : guided or directed by intellect : RATIONAL 3 a : guided or controlled by a computer; especially : using a built-in microprocessor for automatic operation, for processing of data, or for achieving greater versatility -- compare DUMB 7 b : able to produce printed material from digital signals Contines with: One entry found for intelligent. Entry Word: intelligent Function: adjective Text: 1 Synonyms RATIONAL, consequent, logical, reasonable, sensible, sound Contrasted Words irrational, unreasonable Antonyms unintelligent While the other nasty word I used SMART gets the following: Main Entry: 1smart Pronunciation: 'smärt Function: adjective 1 : making one smart : causing a sharp stinging 2 : marked by often sharp forceful activity or vigorous strength 3 : BRISK, SPIRITED 4 a : mentally alert : BRIGHT b : KNOWLEDGEABLE c : SHREWD 5 a : WITTY, CLEVER b : PERT, SAUCY 6 a : NEAT, TRIM b : stylish or elegant in dress or appearance c (1) : SOPHISTICATED (2) : characteristic of or patronized by fashionable society 7 a : being a guided missile b : operating by automation c : INTELLIGENT 3 - smart•ly adverb - smart•ness noun As you too are a Doctor, you'll note that "intelligent" is listed as 7c giving it a slightly lesser prominence with regard to contrasting these two words. Congratulations on your degree. What was your thesis? Mine was plumbing.

    it has to be capitalized to indicate the hill next to the town of Celje (I've been there) while all other slavic languages have the common noun grOmada with your accurate meaning. The hill is Grmda (very close but no cigar).

    piece of cake, it says it all over there clearly. It's just that we here keep changing the word order. It is an announcment of a New hunting season by a slovenian council for hunt and tourism with introduction of the newly refurbished hunting lodge named after a nearby hill Grmda. There's game to shoot, and there is skeet (clay pidgeons if you prefer) prizes are "numerous" - that probably means $3 per non-clay bird

    MAYDAY 2 MAYDAY 2, THE TEXT KEEPS CHANING MORE. What's up with that? I'll be happy to translate (accurately) the entire text given the right word order. So far Grmada has been placed in ways that it could have meant: the proper name of the hill near Celje or the name given to this limted partnership that operates the lodge nearby, it will depend on the word order.

    no pun intended no criticism intended but you were off by only one vowel. Grmda is the hill in it's own right (proper noun) while grOmada is a common noun that means large chunk, boulder, rock, muscular built man (slang). that little O threw you off by just a bit.

    MAYDAY MAYDAY! SOMEBODY KEEPS CHANGING THE WORD ORDER HERE:
    URI IS A TYPICAL MALE NAME CONISTENT WITH THAT REGION, HOWEVER KNOWING THAT THEY USE THE MILITARY TIME SYSTEM COMBINED WITH A NOUN UR-A (MEANING WATCH - HOUR) THE MEANING CHANGES INTO AT 7pm OR AT 7 O'CLOCK EVENING OR 19 HOURS - MOST PRECIESLY, SINCE THE URI BOY CAN NOT BE 19 AND HUNT EVEN IN SLOVENIA.

    Thanks for that help, makes a world of difference:

    The diacritical mark in "koèo" is the same as in "noèno", which we know is "nightly". "Nightly" must sound "nochno" or "noshtno", so "koèo" may be "kocho" or "koshto" NOCHNO IS NIGHTLY EXACTLY IN PROPER SLOVENIAN

    "Kyshta" is "house" in Bulgarian. My guess is, "celjsko koèo" is "country house". EXCEPTIONAL GUESS EXCEPT THAT OUR "LOG CABIN" AND "COUNTRY LODGE, HUNTING LODGE/HOME" ARE REPLACED BY THIS ONE WORD IN SLOVENIAN, COMMONLY THE SIDE PANELS ARE MADE OF "BRODSKY POD" cherry wood or redwood treated with lots of polyurethane and sheen. There are no redwoods growing anywhere in Europe so cherry or pine are the closest source of these plank like wooden interior paneling elements. It is believed that the Hunting Lodge can be told only from the way it looks on the inside: antlered dear heads on the walls, lots of taxidermy on birds, bears, heads, skins, framed rifles, guns, bow-arrows. Multibulb chandeliers centered with reading lamps next to large plush leater armachairs - no recliners. I can offer you the history behind these hunting lodges, an average profile of a typical visitor, yearly income and weapons used, with probably a lot more, if I get myself to think and concentrate on details. Feel free to ask. So far the essence of the original sentence is that starting of a night hunting season close to a hunting lodge in the foothills of Gramda, closest big town is Celje. Late president Tito used to hunt there too (along with Leonid Brezhnev and many others).

    OK genius you win. Step into my ORGAZMATRON. You get the activation button once you prove your Spanish, German, Latin, Italian, French, Russian and Croatian are half as good as my English. How's that for a generous offer? You only gotta come to me half way. I'm being "Jesus like lenient" which I prefer to making minced meat out of anybody (even you qualify for a human being - you seem to have fingers to type with). Is that what you enjoy more? Competition? Race? Or shall we lower the bar and find something even more infantile?

    Hi male, good to see a male for a change (other than that Monticello guy).
    Yes, your arguments are logical, coherent and your instructions are well taken, except for the small damage to my limbs from being quartered here - I may have replied with more dignity, but I chose the aggressive stance because I thought it would work best (as it did). I am afraid of many things (flattery is the most dreadful thought to me) but when people bark at me I know how to bark back. Excuse me for being busy barking (no sarcasm = zero pun). My school was not FOR it was OF (proper name was OF not FOR) The Tisch School of Dramatic Arts at NYU. Sorry again. On the other hand, I didn't really expect I'd find any Clintons, Deans or Kerrys here. I often think that liberals are needlessly dignified each time they get addressed by certain prevailing groups in today's America. (is that the mistake you advised me against "I think")?

    Not trying?

    You mean my 4 years of work at the NY School for Dramatic Arts (the Tisch school for the Arts) was wasted? I tried as hard as I could. Please don't tell me it doesn't show. Drama was easy - comedy was a nightmare of a subject (to me).

    If you tell me that you're a female it will ruin my statistical results of projecting how many (how few) bright peple are present at these boards - so please tell me you're male. So far the women are in the 75% lead over men. We, men - need some equality too.

    "His Highness" alternatively "His Holiness" has changed his name only to revert to a derogatory form used by a bunch of bright kids where "his holiness" taught once, and in compliance to the unspoken request that no degree be posted.

    You're welcome. (would follow the presumed "thanks" - but that would now make me PRESUMPTUOUS - wouldn't it?)

    In either case I can't win so I agree to not win. You happy - I happy.
