Personally I found Terry's story to be just what he said it was going to be. I wrote it off as "might be true" but file in the Internet/email tales file which also holds such tales and storys as so called black helos, chem trails and pearls from Corso. :) Breathlessly I await Birnes to give us the story on the NAZI time machine, but alas, my wait may be in vain. :) >We all get e-mail. Why didn't you follow it up? >Why do we have to put up with this kind of unmitigated crap? Generally speaking we all have to put up with crap on email. Personally I press the delete key and its done with. >Excuse me, but I feel I rant coming on. Have you had your rabies shot updated this year? Just kidding Dennis! >There, I've resisted the temptation to use the adjective goddam >about thirteeen goddam times. You probably should have. Once had a college prof who once said that using expletives demonstrates a total lack of education as the person is apparently not smart enough to use anything other then basic/gutteral language. My immediate comment (which brought chuckles from the other students and the prof) was "The hell you say! >For the fourteenth time, though, I am goddam sick and tired of >hearing this anonymous engineer crap. For the fifteenth time, >I'm goddam sick and tired of hearing from anyone who thinks >Corso has a shred of credibility left. The man is dead, and I Ah, but you should know that to the Corso believers, his credibility is still high. After all everybody just "knows" that if a person; 1) Wrote a book and or 2) Posted the story on the internet and or 3) The person unloading the story was either retired military or a civilian that worked in some govt capacity, the story is to be treated as absolute fact, never to be doubted. >appreciate that, but "The Day After Roswell" is a pack of >demonstrative, goddamned lies and exaggerations from start to >finish. And I can't emphasize goddamned and lies enough here, >unless I use ALL CAPS. >Before anyone asks: I don't know why Corso (or Birnes/Corso) >wrote what they did. So excuse me for criticizing a dead man. >And an anonymous engineer. The rationalization for explaining away Corso's various problems by using Birnes as the scape goat for all evil is called "Birnesized, or Birnesization" >And most of all, please pardon my French! Sorry if this seems disjointed, but when you said "pardon my French", what came to mine was some lines out of one of the Pink Panther flicks when Inspector C is in a hotel and leans down to pet a rather nice looking dog laying on the rug: C: Does you dog bite? Clerk: No my dog doesn't bite: C reachs down to pet dog and dog tears the hell out of him and his clothes. C: I thought you said your dog didn't bite. Clerk: That's not my dog! In fact it was Birnes' dog, but we won't tell anybody. :) Cheers, Robert
