Ripperologist 100: February 2009

[Tom_Wescott]

Hi Don, I also apologize. I was just trying trying to be lighthearted in the vain of Howard's post, and for the second time on this thread, my attempt at humor has gotten me accused of nefarious motives, so I'll play the straight man for a while.

I certainly don't wish to revive that angry Dan thread, so for the record, I don't find anything that upsets members of this board amusing. Call me naive, but I would be surprised if Dan didn't right all wrongs in time.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Howard Brown]

Understood Don...and sorry for the diversion.

Guys, this is the Ripperologist 100 Part-1 thread. We put a lot of work into it and pride ourselves that month after month we appear with a regularity by which you can set your calendar. There is a thread, "Where's Dan?", and I think your current musings belong there.

Hate to be a bringdown, but I hope you understand.

Don.

[Howard Brown]

I take it you find it amusing that a lot of people got ripped off by the putz or is the laughing avatar just a result of you pushing the wrong avatar?

[Tom_Wescott]

Are you sure that's not 'nordorsthenia'? The debate rages on.

But the answer is to be found in the next issue of Ripper Notes, which is scheduled to come out one day after Richard Whittington-Egan's new Ripper book.

Yours truly,

Dan Norder will have his revenge on Whitechapel.

Actually, he won't...or rather he can't. He's got nordersthenia...

Today marks the 134th day of his self-imposed hibernation from the message boards....which ties the record set in December 1888 by some cat named D'Onston. D'Onston's complaint, neurasthenia,was legit.

I'll give you a clue, Tom.
I'm blind.

[Tom_Wescott]

You crack me up, AP. I mean that. It's a shame other Captains don't possess your sense of humor, or, for that matter, your sense of the absurd.

Do you even read Ripperologist, AP? How'd you end up on this thread?

Yours truly,

Tenille

[Cap'n Jack]

Not until he pays his monies out he won't, Tom.
His revenge is probably watching old South Park videos.

Dan Norder will have his revenge on Whitechapel.

[Cap'n Jack]

Tom, you be the white dwarf, I'll let you nominate your black star yer good self. But cosmic imbalance it is whoever you choose.
Is this life for you after Dan?
For whom the bell tolls and all that, and the Yankee dollar is very weak at the moment.
Perhaps the moment is ripe for me to invade Ameriki.

[Tom_Wescott]

According to Eduardo, he was only a white dwarf when living in the states. He's actually a Spanish/Italian/English dwarf.

And if you're standing next to Eduardo, I guess that makes him the designated driver.

Paul Begg owns a pub.

It's all beginning to make sense now.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Cap'n Jack]

I stand by Hook standing by what he said.
It is not often that you see a white dwarf standing on the edge of a black star.

[Tom_Wescott]

I'm sure you do. But I'm curious to know 'on whose behalf' you think I'm acting. Who's in my cabal today? And was there anything incorrect in what I posted on this thread? You're clearly defending your friend, Paul, here. You'll deny any bias, but we all know better. Am I biased in favor of Stewart? Perhaps. Maybe I just like to pick on Paul a bit because he's a funny guy. But intentionally cause discord? Why assume such a thing unless you're just wanting to sh*t stir yourself? You're just being silly and mean, Eduardo. It's not appreciated.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Captain Hook]

Tom,

I stand by what I said.

Cheers
Eduardo
