Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. I'm Lt Columbo, LAPD..Um .
. . know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president
is very important and . . . ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take
a minute ok, sir?

See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering
sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You
know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.

Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all
the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this you know? Is that
painting real? Really? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum once!

Oh, sorry sir. I didn't mean to get off the track. So if you could just help
me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way.
I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or
something. Ever been to Coney Island ? No, I didn't think so. . .

Well, listen, anyways, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap
this up. These things seem to either be "locked" or "not available'. I'm
sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you
tell me where these things are . . . I . . . I . . . have them written down
here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out.
I'll just read it to you.

Could you help me please find these things, sir?

. Your Occidental College records
. Your Columbia College records
. Your Columbia Thesis paper
. Your Harvard College records
. Your Selective Service Registration
. Your medical records
. Your Illinois State Senate records
. Your Illinois State Senate schedule
. Your Law practice client list
. A Certified Copy of your original Birth certificate
. Your embossed, signed paper Certification of Live
Birth
. Your Harvard Law Review articles that were published
. Your University of Chicago scholarly articles
. Your Record of baptism

Oh hey . . . listen! I know you are busy! Is this too much for you now? I
mean tell you what. I will come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get
these things together, you know? I mean, I know you are busy, so I will just
let myself out. I will be back tomorrow. And the day after.

And he will.

So, the attribution seems to be missing. Unintentional, shirley. I mean,
you wouldn't start one thread about plagiarism and then plagiarize
yourself in another ...would you?

Nothing. At. All. except for both being white geysers.

Biden told the story that gave him such grief many times =and= he
credited Kinnock, and then there came a day when he didn't and the fit
hit the shan.

Purposefully plagiarizing -- which Gene Royer has done multiple times --
and forgetting to give credit in a stump speech or debate a time or two
out of many seem to merit two different reactions.

Well, that Viagara is amazing stuff, I hear.

Geezers with geysers. Quite a thought.

Silly you. Someone we met in southern Africa pronounced "geyser"
"geezer." I liked the use so much, I adopted it.

I thought it was from using "Old Faithful", or what ever they call
their dominant hand.

I'm curious, maybe someone can explain it. On the TV ads it says that
if you use Cialis and an erection lasts more than 4 hours, you should
call your doctor. What does the doctor do, call the nurse to settle
your hash, perform an emergency penisectomy, or what?

Fucksake, I had an erection that lasted from when I was a teenager
until... well, lately.

Call my doctor? If I had an erection that lasted more than 4-hrs, I'd call
everybody.

This piece was plagiarized from my blog, which bears a copyright
warning. It was also published WITH PERMISSION at No Quarter. You
will remove it immediately. You have 24 hours and I'm not kidding. I
don't mind use of my professional work. But I EXPECT a link to the
original piece. Anything short of that is plagiarism. Internet
writings DO fall under copyright laws. If you want links to the laws,
stop by my blog.

Gee, Gene Royer. Looks like you pissed susan/molly/uppity off. Might
want to make amends, like a good Republican should.

Christo now that was funny.

Yeah Joe, give me my credit like a good republican! Like right now. I
take my writing very seriously. You liked it huh? Well I did the work.
So be a good boy and do what's right.

And sal, Susan and Uppity are not the same people. I'm a much better
writer. Just kidding. And my name's not molly either. but then what do
you expect from a writer trying not to get the crap beaten out of her
by Obama people?

Your name doesn't really matter. You and Christo/Boggles should fit in
well together. He hides behind his aliases too, but he has business
reasons not to be associated with some of the crap he posts.

If you want to whack at him in e-mail go back up to the top of the
thread and find who posted your stuff.

My posts to the thread telling Royer he's a plagiarizing cheat reference
wral.com -- which is one of the first places I found that at least
mentioned you and your site and credited you. If I'd gone to more
trouble, I would've pointed them straight in your direction.

Gene Royer's From: gives his e-addr, although his Reply-To doesn't. Must
be something with that pesky sbcglobal software.

Ok Gotcha. Cripes, this google groups look terrible. They ought to
make things look a little better. Maybe some good looking guys in
bathing suits or something.

He must have pulled it off of No Quarter. They publish some of my work
with my permission, but they at least give me my own credit.
