Those darn liberal arts majors...
Native Indians were liberal arts majors?
It was discovered 250 yrs ago on someone's estate? Do you think they
were automotive engineers? Did you even read the article?
Yes I did read the article. did you?
It was built possibly 250 years ago and found in a barn on a
historical estate. But please humour me. What native tribe constructed
it and from which University did they recieve their engineering
degree?
Beavers build dams and lodges on streams up here. Darn liberal arts
majors.

Huh.. last time I checked, Cornwall was still in Ontario.
Did you read the article ?
In the 2nd paragraph it says: " and was brought to England by Lt John
Enys in 1776 after fighting in the American War of Independence."
Is England still in Ontario?
?? You claimed that some sort of engineering major found it or made
it. It's unclear.
Not sure what beavers have to do with engineering degrees, but I'm
sure you'll enlighten us at some point.
Birch bark, interesting. I'd like to see it.
Around here (Florida) native American dugout canoes are often found
when lakes are drawn down or during dry spells. On Newman Lake near
Gainesville, 80 of them were found (it is alligator paradise so I
expect they were used to hunt gators or catfish). One was found here
in Tallahassee last week (estimated 500 yrs old) when Lake Munson was
drawn down.
The beavers have as much to do with engineering degrees as your
mentioning 250 year old Native Americans having liberal arts degrees.

Very true. However Mr. White unless I'm reading too much into another
article, the boat probably originated in Quebec.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-11954324
"It is believed the Canadian boat was brought to Cornwall by Lt John
Enys who fought in Quebec during the American War of Independence.
The canoe will be preserved and put on display to the public at the
National Maritime Museum in Falmouth before being repatriated to
Canada.
Historians believe the boat could possibly be one of the oldest birch
bark canoes in existence.
The museum's boat collections manager Andy Wyke said: "Lt Enys sailed
from Falmouth in a packet ship to join his regiment in Canada to
relieve the city of Quebec which was under siege from the Americans. "
So, you've returned to your habit of lying even when it's obvious... I
never said that, and you know it.
Lying?
D'Plume, you DID say that. look at your first post.
USENET doesn't lie.
However, if you simply refuse to admit to the obvious, please examine
from this link:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.boats/browse_frm/thread/0fd7e44bccd00f67?scoring=d&
You completely misrepresented what I said and you know it. You've
proven yourself over and over to be the liar I originally claimed you
are. Perhaps you should look that up also.
And why are you so angry Ms. D'Plume. I can tell by your typing that
you are becoming tense. Could it be that you have found yourself in a
proverbial corner and feel that making heated (though faulty)
accusations is the only defence for you?

Em, obviously, you already are aware that TopBass is just another
boatless right-wing asshole sockpuppet who comes here only to see what
sort of shit he can stir up. It's best to just ignore him or put him in
your bozo bin, along with Ziggy, Crotchrot, the spoofers, LG, et cetera.
Why waste any effort on them?
Harry, give it another couple of years and your water craft will be a
rubber duck in the bath tub. The way you are down sizing boats leads one
to believe many things about you.
Bertbrain, I have a brand-new boat, just under 40' in length. Since you
have *no* boat *and* you are just another boatless right-wing asshole,
your status is about the same as that of TopBass. Why don't you go play
a round of mediocre golf or make a run for your company to MicroCenter
and pick up a couple packages of computer paper and bring back coffee
for the gals?
We should humor him for a while. If he has a boat he'll tell us ALL about it. It's his nature. He can't help himself.
I wonder if the deck project is on hold 'till spring thaw?

Keep on keepin' on, Bertie. Who knows...perhaps the boatless right-wing
assholes here will elect you national chairman of the Society of
Boatless Right-Wing Assholes.
What's that go-fer job of yours pay these days? I'll bet there are at
least 100 illegal Latinos out there in Montgomery County who could and
would do a better job than you, and at a fraction of your meager salary.
Hey, if that happens, you could always deliver parts for AutoZone, and
in the process take advantage of your marine training, eh?
Bitter bitter bitter. Tsk tsk.

Well, that didn't take long. The first post of yours I've read and
you've already qualified for the the "Bozo Bin."
Bye.
You are quite funny.
Bertbrain, I have one hell of a beautiful boat. I have to admit, I
actually like it more than my Hatteras. Would you like to a photo of
the boat? Well, you won't see it so foch off.
Of course not. All of the seats in the salon are covered with
Corinthian Leather. It really is a beauty.
I was going to say the same thing, bozo bin the sucker.
Well, it sure is obvious what you're problems are...

As gofer jobs got it pays well, about a buck and a half. Not bad for an
illiterate uneducated guy like me.

You know us Marines, once we put our minds to doing something we get it
done.
Tell us more about this mythical 40 foot boat?
And the trailer tongue and the RAV4 pulling it.
Problems I see with your post, Paul.
You wish this to be a boating group. I start a thread concerning the
discovery of an antique American-Indian canoe, and I take it you have
'plonked' me for making a boating post in a boating group.
Most strange behaviour.
Yes, to you I'm sure they are.
And what are you Ms. D'Plume? Please include your motive for being in
rec.boats.
You are correct. LG.
At the moment, it's chatting with Greg in a civil fashion about things
upon which we disagree.
At the moment you are conversing with me. However, I take it that Greg
is "GFretwell?" And yes it is noted how you supposedly try to 'talk'
with him. And I've also observed how it seems you are unmatched for
his intellect. Of course, you try to challenge him, and no matter how
you feebly attempt to squirm the subject of the moment, I he always
keeps the conversations collected and focused.
You may wish to try civility in your due courses, D'Plume. It travels
so much further in a debate than calling people liars with no founded
precedence.
Your insults are nothing new. You're a lowlife. Sorry I bothered.
Oh, and go fuck yourself... have a field day with that.
And where have I insulted you Ms.D'Plume? I haven't.
Oh yes, you mentioned "Oh, and go fuck yourself... have a field day
with that."
I take it with your self-experience on the subject you are suggesting
that I enjoy a cheap thrill like you do?
She's turned into a nasty little snot, hasn't she? Those aren't the virtues of a lady.

Untrue, and yes, I like hearing what Greg has to say.
You and Greg are having an interesting debate, and both of you are
scoring points. Good discussion. Your sniper, LG Krueger, isn't capable
of having a civil discussion with himself.
Aren't you upset that Plume won't debate you?
--
Ziggy®
Then, Ms. D'Plume, you should listen closely to him and heed what he
has to say.
But most likely does...every morning in front of the " Magic Mirror ".
Don't really care... I rarely read what those bozos type.
It's nice chatting with Greg, since he's got a different take on
things, but isn't obnoxious about it.
Sure you read what those supposed 'bozos type' You can't keep from it.

Is that the same mirror that tells him he's a big CEO, rather than an
obnoxious part-time counterman?
It's the one that tells Harry that he has a lobsta' boat, takes owl
pictures, has a Maryland red barn, a mile long driveway, and a father
that took a small runabout across the Atlantic ocean and back in
November.
Another Snotty for LG
PS - I am just awarding these "Snotty's" because in my own way, I am
elevating rec.boats to new highs.
Another Snotty, the first of the day, for the HarryID spoofer.
