Marijuana may have medicinal uses, but that no more validates "recreational"
use than the fact that penicillin has medicinal uses validates
"recreational" use of that drug.

I saw that 2 hour show last night an it was certainly interesting. I've
read so much about this sort of stuff and know there's lots of fakes - but
too much has been seen for it all to be fake. I lean towards believing there
are aliens out there watching and observing perhaps, but I certainly don't
believe every story I read.
When we lived in Prescott, right in front of Granite Mountain - it
was about half a mile from the base of it. One night, late, we saw a huge
ball of multi-colors just go behind the mountain and we could see the
reflection of the lights even after it disappeared and then it suddenly went
out. If it stopped or landed, it did so in a vast, uninhabited National
forest. Years after we moved, we found out that once a year, people come
from all over the country and spend a week at the base of that mountain
waiting to catch sight of a UFO - which has been reported to have been many
sightings. It's some sort of UFO club. Another time, just before we saw
this, in the eastern sky we saw what appeared to be a viberating star. We
got a small telescope and saw that it was sylindrical like a rocket but was
just sitting there horrizontally - it pulsated with colors. I was looking at
it and it just disappeared in a blink. *::=ANN=::*

Date: 10/16/88 Time: 14:34:53
Yeah, I found locksmithing so difficult that I had to quit and go to
college.
Seriously, Jim Lippard went over the "pot destroys brain cells" argument
pretty thoroughly on another board, and showed how it wasn't very
significant. Rod is the best locksmith in Phoenix, and his (former) use of
pot doesn't seem to have affected it. His muddle-headed (but sincere)
arguments don't stem from drug use, but from a real lack of understanding of
reality.

The people you have mentioned all have valid reasons for using marijuana,
whereas you do not.
If you have to barf because you cannot logically support your use of
marijauna, that's your problem, not mine.
I will be all over the valley this year, so I guess you will have to move.

Hey Paul - you said yourself she was "OFFENDED' by Rod, not I! That he
looked 'unwashed' or something to that effect. Are you now saying she
didn't? You can cut into the people here and say what you want - but you
want to deny me that same privlige? To be honest, it offended me that she
came to our GT and condemned Rod - I would feel the same no matter who she
condemned. If she had least went over and met him or even got close to him
and then made her judgements, so be it. We all have people we dislike for
one reason or another. And hey brother, you'd better not cast the first
stone at me with all those scathing posts you've been sending to Cliff. You
make me look like an amateur in comparison. Your wife certainly isn't any
more sacred than Cliff is and I will continue to say what I please on this
board as long as it's in the realm of Cliff's rules. *::=ANN=::*

"That little mind of yours", yes Paul, you NEVER insult, You never can

I read those verses... and in there nowhere does it say that a GAY
is not a Christian! Read the Websters definition...one more time.
I was not defending the Gay life style... I just do not buy YOUR bigoted
statment a GAY can't be called a CHRISTIAN! Neither does Webster and he is
more of an expert on the english language than you!
Did you know even Animals (lower) have been known to be Homosexual?
It is not something that can be turned off Paul... Wake up to (I hate to say
it) the FACTs.
Incredable.... Hey guys, I am a Christian, but do not even relate
me to Pauls kind of Christian that alianates everyone that is not PERFECT!
If you are GAY, and believe in the Christ Child, you are on the right track!
If you are not GAY and believe in the Christ Child, you are even better off.
(I figured I had better add that last line as some one would think being GAY
would put them on the right track...)
Paul, post your church and minister so we can all stay away from
that place. Thankyou!

Paul, I suggest you not bring your Wife into an argument, and I am
sure Ann or anyone will not mention her. After all, though you, your wife
attacked Rod. Remember, anything and everything you use on this BBS can be
used against you. (Or should we make this a "Yes Paul" BBS?)
Carol.... That was low... you never come to GT's anyway. And we all
had fun except for Paul and his wife who were only momentarily offended by a
silly handshake. And yes, Paul and his wife were trapped in a corner, good
thing they did not have to go potty in a hurry.
Besides, there probably will be no more Apollo GT's....

From National Lampoon -
From the *World Press Review*:
"Madrid's famous Las Ventas bullring exploded in hoots in
July when matador Curro Romero refused to kill a bull. 'His
cowardice,' writes Tim McGirk in *The Independent*, 'so
enraged an aficionado that he climbed into the ring waving
... his ticket ... and felled Romero with a punch.' A report
in *El Pais* says that the spectator, who received an
ovation, claimed to have been a fan of Romero 'but felt
swindled and wanted a refund.' Romero was arrested and is
being sued for breach of contract."
From the *Orlando Sentinel*:
"St. Clair (Illinois) County authorities are seeking a
fire-eating midget cowboy and his toothless brother for
questioning in the theft of a carnival sideshow. Operator
James Dill, forty-eight, said someone stole the tents,
stages, and bullhorn last week. Dill said his show featured
a thirty-two-inch-tall man from Houston and his normal-sized
brother, the master of ceremonies for 'The World's Smallest
Cowboy' act. The midget cowboy's act consisted of eating
fire, walking on glass, and making a dove disappear."
GREAT YARMOUTH, England (AP) - A wrestler known as "King
Kong" Kirk was crushed and killed in the ring when his
336-pound opponent, television star "Big Daddy" Crabtree,
threw his full weight on him in a "splashdown" maneuver.
Emergency medical workers tried to revive the 350-pound
Kirk at the Hippodrome Circus in Great Yarmouth after the
accident on Sunday, but he was dead on arrival at James
Paget Hospital in Gorleston.
Police later identified the dead man as Malcolm Kirk, of
Featherstone.
Les Rose, the Hippodrome's manager, said Big Daddy, whose
real name is Shirley, did the "splashdown," a specialty of
his, 15 minutes into the match.
Great Yarmouth police issued a statement on Monday saying:
"Big Daddy and King Kong Kirk were in the ring wrestling,
and, during the bout, King Kong Kirk was held to the floor by
Big Daddy for the statutory count of three. Big Daddy got to
his feet, but, after a few moments, it was realized that King
Kong Kirk was not moving."
Big Daddy watched, horrified, in the ring as attempts were
made to revive his opponent, reported the domestic news
agency Press Association.
It took eight men to lift Kirk's stretcher into the
ambulance, Rose said.
The police said they were investigating the incident.
Big Daddy's next scheduled match on Sept. 6 will go ahead
as planned, Rose said.
