[Vinylanach]

I've been thinking about the similarities between Bob and Howard
lately. Neither man (and I use that term loosely) was able to get a
Ph.D...mostly due to "political reasons." Both men have had horrible
experiences on Usenet (Bob with his epic battle with phantoms, Howard
with the exposure of his plagiarism) that would send a sane man
running for the hills, presumably to lead a more productive life.

Both men are hopelessly quixotic (Howard with his "wrecking ball,"
Bob with the obsession that will ultimately define his entire
life...Bwian). Both men are oblivious to their shortcomings. Both
men claim victory even when beaten senseless.

My question is...were these men unable to get their Ph.Ds because they
were crazy, or did the craziness result from not getting their Ph.Ds?

So Marc, what sort of a PhD do you have, so you can logically throw stones
at these guys?

My best guess is that Robert wanted a PhD because it is a way of redeeming
his career as a professional student.

My best guess is that Howard was involved with a profession where a PhD
could have been an asset, but was frustrated in his progress for whatever
reason.

I never wanted a PhD because I had seen the professional progress of people
in my profession who did have PhDs, and did not like what I saw.

Two of my children aspired to a profession where a PhD was essentially
mandatory. Their aspirations were encouraged by watching their cousin who
was about their age, die an agonizing death from cancer.

It turns out that anybody who has a relevant degree and reasonable grades
can get a PhD free and clear from the NIH via any of several of
participating schools with salary and benefits for the duration, if they are
willing to be trained to fight cancer up front and personal, and do so for
about 5 years up front.

Either that, or your language disability prevented you from filling out
the application forms.

BTW, have you figured out the difference between "delude" and "illude"
yet? When you do, award yourself a shiny brown star, just like the one
for mastering the abstruse words "metaphor" and "simile".

My Master and commander observed, cogently:

progress of people in my profession who did have PhDs,

Funny thing Middiot, I did a search for degrees granted to "George Middius".
According to the permanent records, you don't even have a high school
degree, GED, nothing. Perhaps you were kicked out of school for playing
pocket pool, messing with other little boy's privates, not being toilet
trained, or what?

BTW, have you figured out the difference between "delude"
and "illude" yet?

Why do you ask, Middiot?

The Middiot's motto for Usenet: "They haven't yet
invented the person that I can't abuse, including myself."

Funny you should say that about yourself!

GOIA honestly stated:

I never wanted to marry my wife, but she tricked me into it. That baby wasn't mine.
I looked at the DNA evidence and did not like what I saw.

Funny thing George (may I call you that?), I diddled myself twice today and I still want more.
According to the permanent records, I have been caught diddling myself in public
twice, and once in the boys locker room of a school. I was kicked out of school for playing
pocket pool with a sixth-grader, messing with several other little boys' privates, not being toilet
trained, and a few other reasons. My daughter's baby isn't mine either (that they can
prove, LOL! Been there, done that! ;-), but I'd willingly marry her).

BTW, have you figured out the difference between "dildo"
and "diddle" yet?

Can I ask you to help me learn? What would you prescribe for incontinence?
All of my underwear is severely stained. As are the seats of most of my slacks.
Well, in the interest of full disclosure, my socks and shoes are full too..

Kroo, you're very sick and you need help. Continuing to abuse yourself and
your family is not the answer.

Look, Shhhh! won't do my daughter or my wife, and neither of them will do me any more.
I've run out of money from the 1-900 calls, and my palms and pecker are blistered.
I'm getting even more desperate and my pastor won't talk to me any more. He said
if I ever came near him he'd call the police.

GOIA, you're really not very good at editing quoted text.

But this sudden rash of honesty from you is refreshing. ;-)

****R, it is quite clear that you and George need to get a room....

BTW, what does Dr. Gindi tell you about this?

They were required to do real engineering work,
and to do it right.

Howard is much better off than Bob.
He probably possesses passable personal
communication skills. He was able to keep a job as a library clerk for
over
25 years. Robert can't hold a job for as long'as two weeks, much less
over a whole career.

Agreed. There's always the theory that Howard is a nice guy, and his
Usenet persona is just a character he created. With Bob, however,
what you see is what you get, and it ain't pretty.
