Curtamous: Sorry for the late response to your question of the week "Why didn"t Noah swat those two mosquitos?, but e-mails travel a little slow up here. Well, first of all flyswatters weren't invented yet and then I found out those damn orangutans had snuck a couple of those Ronco clap on- clap off lights onto the ark. Every time I clapped my hands tying to catch those mosquitos those damn lights would go off and the elephants would stampede. When the elephants started to run the lions and tigers would take off after them and pretty soon all hell broke loose. Did I mention how much elephants can crap?. That's where the Navy got the idea for the poop deck. Not to mention all the while it was raining buckets of cats and dogs. Good thing too because I forgot to load a couple of each. AH! NO! It's starting to rain again----Gotta Go, talk to again when the rain stops. Noah
But what do you know about little black boxes Noah?
I could not resist but to try and answer this week's Question. Assuming that it is within the rules to answer a question with a question, my reply would be as follows..."If Senior Members evolve from Junior Members, then why are there still Junior Members?" As it relates to monkeys and apes, I believe this to be a relevant response, no matter what kind of Spin Theory the Hawk trys to make of it. -FM
Esteemed FM- I know you don't like being corrected, but please allow me to shed some light on your "question-answer" to this weeks Question....Evolution Theory revolves around Man evolving from Ape. The basic difference between this theory and the reality of the structure of BBC Membership is that Senior Membership does not, in fact, "evolve" from Junior Membership. Instead, there exists a heirarchy and class structure within the constituency. Let me put it this way, there is "Man" (Senior Members) and there is "Ape"(Junior Members). The history of BBC has indicated no case evidence of evolution from one to the other. New "Apes" are brought into the fold on an occasional basis to attempt to disprove the theory (reference "The Scribe" at our last Buck Camp)but they all remain what they are-Apes. The true test of the theory will come if and when one of the members of the Ape class actually becomes a Real Doctor making Real Money. We may then witness our first "real" evolution. But, that remains to be seen. I hope this clears up your question. -Respectfully, Hank Kimball, County Extension Agent and Amatuer Theologist/Psychologist/Socialogisit.
Dear Hank- I understand current class structure between "Man" and "Ape," but where do Woodchuck Huntin' Dogs fit in the picture? -Sincerely, The FM's Dog.
Dear Dog- To answer your question-Dog rank falls well below Senior Member (Man) status, but slightly above Junior Member(Ape). So, it goes like this...Man-Dog-Ape. Regards, and give my best to your owner -Hank
What about the chimp?
Just viewed the Deer Hunt pix. Controversy in the ranks? Did Sippy heist one of the President's sweaters, or was it placed upon him while he was zonked out? Either way, it appears somewhat blasphemous to me.
I have a clearly defined answer to this week's question. For anyone who has spent any time at all with the President, the only answer to this question is a definitive "YES." After all, what do you expect? - FM
A weak effort, admittedly, but I can't allow two weeks to go by without an answer to a Question of the Week-the VP might get discouraged and give up on our weekly updates. Anyway, the answer to whether fish get thirsty is...of course. If not, the term "drinks like a fish" would never have been coined. Open the garage door, Prez, here I come!-FM
It has been awhile for me, As far as the whale comment, it is obvious that the size is do to the fact that they have a life similar to our time at deer camp and eat as we do at deer camp. As I am getting older, my standards are rising forcing the weight limits to drop fast. Sec. W\M

Curtamous - Seems to me that story about the Indian was in the guestbook last week. Is that the same story or is it just a different Indian? Regards, Trixie
Same Indian... different Cafe...
Holy Crap! I looked at the ISC World Tourney website and found that, although his team pretty much sucks, our own Sec. W/M hit the cover off the ball this past week. Way to Go Slicky!!--Dixie La Rue.
