The best line in the movie "Unforgiven" was when the sheriff of Big Whiskey,
Wyoming announces that he once thought he had died and gone to Hell, but it
was just Nebraska!

But in any event, no one who resides in that tiny kingdom by the sea known
as England should ever be making any comments about anywhere else. It is
well known that the English have to leave their country entirely in order to
even have a vacation. They used to go to Spain (Malaga) a lot back in the
60's, but they will go anywhere where then can get some ****ing sunshine.

Someone from England was denigrating Nebraska, but of course you were too
god damn ****ing stupid to know it. I don't know about you, but I will be
damned if I will ever let any Englishman denigrate any part of the US, even
lowly Nebraska.

But that is not possible because even a word or two from Ed Dolan the Great
galvanizes the most slothful readers of Usenet to respond. Yea, I am like a
God to these newsgroups. There is just no denying Ed Dolan the Great.

The only solution is to give in to the Great One and to consider it an honor
to even be noticed by Him. However, you do not want to ever be noticed by
Saint Edward the Great. He is a very Great Saint indeed and even Ed Dolan
the Great fears Him. God Almighty, I do not want Saint Edward the Great ever
coming down on me as it would utterly crush me.

A temperate post I do not know how to respond to. I am only used to
responding to complete idiots. If you are going to be temperate and
reasonable I recommend that you get off of Usenet. We are all idiots here
and do not have the foggiest notion of how to deal with anyone the least bit
rational.

Saint Edward the Great only comes into the discussion when it borders on
moral issues. He is a very Great Saint indeed and right out of the High
Middle Ages (12th century) and He frankly makes me quake with fear. He is
just so holy and self-righteous! Please believe me on this, you do not want
to rile this Great Saint! He is worse than the Devil!
