Andrew Jute McCoy blathered at great effort:
More tripe.
a) Nobody held doors for Raider. It is so clear that you do not
understand cats. By the holding of the door, they would choose not to
use it. However, Raider retired from Penn approximately 3 years ago at
19, and is now living in comfortable circumstances in New Jersey, still
in good health. And in the interim, I have practiced my trade in Saudi
Arabia and now practice it in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US.
b) Being a "trumped up janitor" (not a half-bad descriptive, as it
happens) has given me and mine a very good living, with enough left
over that our future is well-assured. A far cry from your little
Bed-Sit in Cork? I guess vanity-published bad fiction doesn't pay much?
And if your How-To book is anything like your How-To amplifier design,
well... Oh, I have been meaning to ask... you 'gave up motoring'...
this due to too may DUI convictions? Could not afford gas at $8/gallon?
Could not afford a vehicle in the first place?
Facts, McCoy, Facts... try 'em if you got 'em. I can have you
dithering, engaging in schizophrenic conversation and spinning like an
Iranian centrifuge with a few actual facts. Yeah, it is a little like
pulling wings off flies, but I may do so in the absolute assurance that
no living creature will actually be damaged by the exercise.
One last question, now that you have achieved your 61st birthday....
Would it be appropriate for you to allude to recent accomplishments
rather than dubious references to youthful fantasies 40+ years past?
