I guess you thought it would help to announce that, but really, I went to the trouble to skim over the whole thing, and couldn't guess which two of us offended you. Maybe you're better at sensing these problems, but that still leaves the less sensitive of us out here wondering what the heck is up with eupher61. I'm inclined to think it's more likely that you misread something.
It's kind of hard to tell, really. I mean, some people are lying when they proclaim they don't notice any difference. Others are kind of tough on certain racially sensitive topics, but may have a much more open mind on a very real level, than others who talk nice but aren't really confronted with the need to put their beliefs into practice. I wouldn't put much stock in what people say. Probably you ought to have a lot more people on your foes list than you know about.

This also describes me. I am 100% native American. In fact, the first time I ever left the boundaries of the state of Texas, I was 18 years old. I submit that made me not only 100% native American, but also qualified me as someone who didn't get out much.
but at least this thread does make for some interesting google ads.

I'd really like to just call you "American," if that's alright, Ryan. "Fellow tuba player" comes to mind. Perhaps even "friend" might be appropriate. You are a real American, I think, not a hyphenated one.

A few of your mouthpieces have made it.
If I could only fit in that small box.....

Ah, Ken. This has not been happening lately. I have come to recognize that playing golf and playing tuba, for me, don't seem to happen during the same periods of time. Sometimes I am busy playing tuba. This has been true for the last three months. My golf game gets virtually ignored. When the tuba gigs aren't happening, sometimes I can play more golf.
Let's see. Let's examine the facts. I enjoy both playing tuba and playing golf. Golf: costs money. Tuba: makes money. Gosh! When I have the choice to make, which one should I choose.
Well. This week will be family(as in extended family) activites. I may get to play one round of golf with my brother-in-law and my niece's husband. We'll see. Whatever happens, it likely won't be a pretty sight. I haven't swung a club in about two months.

' just as I have often found...
People who are engaged, accomplish stuff, and live *real* lives often do not think of themselves as parts of some faces-on-TV-contrived "groups".
Ryan, how 'bout "one-of-my-favorite-American(s)"?
bloke "who enjoys watching from afar Ryan's 'Odyssey for the Perfect Mouthpiece'...knowing full well that, eventually, it will prove to be a glitter gold Kellyberg"
Thank you for, once again, making me laugh out loud.
as for the Kellyberg, you are probably more correct than I am willing to admit. If I do go that way, I think I'll stick with the crystal orange.

After reading your other poll posting where you described your usual motivation in posting, I can see how you're deriving a great deal of entertainment from this thread. I have also.
Your reference to Mormon theology is an oversimplification of what is, even within that faith, a complicated and sometimes controversial topic.

It's that feeling of whacking a small white ball 240-250 yards off a tee into a beautiful sunrise against the backdrop of purple mountain majesties and fresh air.
Ken F. (only a 20 or so handicap)
I feel that way too, but generally, the trees stop the ball from going that far.
