This list will be dead if everyone wants to follow every rule to the tee. If you break a rule, then email someone hours later about how they are breaking the rules, you are a hypocrite. The list rules CLEARLY STATE ALL messages must have something to do with meteorites. Here is a sampling of yesterdays list rule-breakers. Anne Black, - Michael Blood Myself, Michael Farmer Jerry Flaherty gene a dees Darren Garrison There were more, just too many to post here. Not a peep about meteorites in here. ------------------------------------------------------------------ it is French and it is: hors d'oeuvres. It means literally "outside the works" meaning it is not part of the main fare, just little things on the side. And usually not cakes. Were you thinking of "petits fours", those are bit-size cakes. Anything else? :-) Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com IMPACTIKA at aol.com President, I.M.C.A. Inc. www.IMCA.cc ---------------------------------------- Not if we've "just begun"! and even Albert E the great thought as much in the twilight of his life(just begun that is) Jerry Flaherty Nothing about meteorites in here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MarkF mafer at imagineopals.com Tue Nov 15 21:25:19 EST 2005 a..

I had the same problem ... couldn't get it even close enough for the spell checker ... so I finally remembered it was a two-part word and the first part was "hors". The rest was easy. OK ... I have to mention meteorites. I mention them all the time on my Great Dane list and my Chihuahua list but they don't mind ... mostly because I own the lists! Being a dictator has its good moments! When I lived in the East Mountain area east of Albuquerque, the dark skies and altitude made for a great observing site ... like my front yard. One night around 1 AM, Mountain Time, I was looking for meteors to the north of my location. For the last 4 nights and within 2 minutes either side of 1 AM, there would be a small green meteor trail from south to north. This night, I had another one but it disappeared behind some clouds due north of me ... then re-appeared briefly below the cloud then I lost it. Figuring the distance as best I could with only one sighting, I figured it came down 2-to-3 miles north of me and was probably quite small in size. I sure wish I could have found that one or at least had a second sighting on it so I could get a loose fix and verify that I did, indeed, see it penetrate the cloud and come out the bottom. That would have been something, indeed ... but, alas! Maybe next time? Now I live down 4,000 feet lower and the city lights of Albuquerque pretty much mess up the unique observing I used to enjoy at altitude ... but, thanks to heart trouble and several operations, I can no longer breathe well at 7,500+ feet with my oxygen tank. My life used to be much more interesting than this ... so please bear with me. gene a dees Albuquerque, New Mexico USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a..

They are violently attracted to the faces of positively charged people ... it's a lot like what goes on in a 3 Stooges pie fight. Now for the on-topic part: A pie in the face is more fun than catching a nickel-iron meteorite of similar mass right in the puss. Never happened to me but, back in my Army days, I was in a freefall tracking position at around 160 miles-per-hour when I caught a June bug in the mouth. It was like getting hit by a hard-driven golf ball. Loosened 4 teeth and I was spitting out bug parts for a while after landing. gene ... in Albuquerque Nothing about meteorites in here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Darren Garrison cynapse at charter.net Tue Nov 15 22:42:32 EST 2005 a..

Not particle physics fans, I see. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pion http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/hadron.html Nothing about meteorites in here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not particle physics fans, I see. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pion http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/hadron.html --------------------------------- Good sources! Thanks for those! I was just having fun ... really. After all, slow people, the neuron-challenged, and MODS* sufferers deserve to have fun, too. <grin> Now ... according to the references, a "pion" is a "meson" ... and we "Mesons" hold our lodge meetings on the second Tuesday of each month. "Exotic Mesons"? Well, we 32? Scottish Rite Mesons hold our reunions twice a year. Rumors have it that the "Mesons" control the wealth of the world .. well, I'm still waiting for my piece of the action! *MODS ...

And, while we're at it, I am writing an article and am including commentary about eating little snacks before dinner and I cannot come close enough to spelling it correctly to get the computer spell checker to recognize the following word, spelled phonetically: orderves - can anyone out there help me. Just a pion looking for some help - er, make that a peon. Ooops, I guess this isn't about meteorites, is it? Oh well, I guess I am "special" and don't have to follow rules..... or do I? Gee, maybe you have a point, Dean. But I don't think one individual (or brothers) is/are the only one(s), now, is/are it/they ? Still, how DO you spell "orderves?"

Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Michael, That would be " hors d'oeuvres ". (Probably akin to some rare type of French meteorite.) I have always pronounced that as "horse ovaries", which tends to raise a few eyebrows at the fancier parties, but being Texan, I figger that's close enough. Jerry Again, lots of talk about words, nothing about meteorites. List rules broken again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This isnt even all of them, so please, next time you get in a hissy about someone breaking the rules, look at yourself in the mirror, review your own posts, and make sure they all comply.
