Glad to find the door. Seeing a separatory funnel with a honeycomb in it brightened my day.

I lay no claim to any chemistry expertise, nor for that matter to wisdom in general. My skills are primarily those acquired in many years of the study of the law and its deleterious effect on society. I am skilled in in its circumvention, and take some measure of pride in that. Chemistry is very much a hobby, and I remain an avid fan of a variety of experiences the hobby provides.

I have made a point of doing most things to excess, including, at times, moderation. I have always considered moderation overrated, though, but have not been involved with it enough to know all of its qualities, perhaps. Still, the concept itself stares at me as though it would steal my sense of existence if I let it, and for that reason I mistrust it.

Aside from knees that grind and ache. failing eyesight, poor hearing, poor sense of smell and a general absence of common sense, I am pretty much your ordinary crochety old geezer.

With, I hope, some sense of humor.

I'll try to earn my keep, if you give me the chance.

Ha I enjoy your sense of humor.
Glad you like the wasp in the sepratory funnel, The idea of this site had been floating around in my head for quite sometime, everything seemed so perfect, the name, etc. I believe the picture properly explains what this site is about, though I certainly do have a tendency to read way to much into things... however, I designed the picture so it means whatever the hell I want it too

If you didn't know, a wasp nest is properly called a vespiary, while a bee nest is properly called a hive. Slightly different creatures, but they basically have the same goals.

I'm glad to see you post, and can't wait for some of your input.

It's good to see you here, Geez. Your participation on other boards has always made things more informative, accurate and interesting.

Your sense of humor, of course, is legendary, and I'm sure everyone will enjoy it. After all, most of us here are a lot younger than you, so many of your jokes will be new to us.

"I have made a point of doing most things to excess, including, at times, moderation."

I noticed that, too, but didn't expect to hear you say it. Then again, I don't think you were so much worse than any of the other moderators at WD.

I've not been guilty of much moderation, mind you. They've discovered that at other boards, but thus far my excesses have not included deleting members or posts. Yet.

Welcome sir. You big words make my hurt brain.

Prepuce1 · « **Reply #5 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:26:41 AM »

Good one, Agent. I agree.

"thus far my excesses have not included deleting members or posts. Yet."

I certainly hope not! Deleting anyone's member is a pretty harsh punishment.

geezmeister · « **Reply #6 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:46:18 PM »

Depends on who's being deleted.

Sedit · « **Reply #7 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:03:27 PM »

We have never really had a need to delete anyones post to my knowlage here other then when an occasional spammer gained access to the forum.

Have I been misunderstood? I'd hate to think I'd wasted all the smartassness I've been dropping in this thread.

If someone's cut off my member they've "deleted" my post. I wouldn't want that to happen, and that's the reason I always try to be <cough> polite. Ask Lorena. She'll tell you.

Okay! I admit it's not very funny.

All things in moderation, including moderation.

I think that wisdom came from the east. It's the only way life can be lived AFAIK.

Geezmeister you are a wordsworth. Also, funny you should choose those words, I was reading the works of another, older wordsworth today:

LAWYER, n. One skilled in circumvention of the law. - Ambrose Bierce

In this sence you should consider yourself the honorable equivalent of a lawyer.

There's no shame in admitting it my friend! After all:

The pun is the lowest form of humour

Yet we feel compelled to do it anyway. Also, IMHO your posts are safe from castration, not just because of politeness. But because one learns to recognize a crucial unit when they see one.

love lucifer's lexicon ever read it?

yaweh: not my way.
yeah geez if you want to be a lawyer you gotta be smart, and smart, and longwinded i might add; you are. hell, you might win a few cases because the judge hearing the case grows tired of hearing your lengthy arguments.

iknowjt · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:53:10 PM »

I gotta let it be heard that, it's easy to forget sometimes that geezmeister isn't just another one of millions of humans that suffer from chronic Diarhea de Mouth. Cause there's nothing special or unique about that. I think what strikes us about geezmeister is his abilitty to go on and on and on, but never stray over onto tangents of nonsense, psychobabble, BS, exageration, or just anything undue and unnecessary. His alltime BS/wordcount ratio will probably remain a world record for many years to come.

refrawd · « **Reply #16 on:** December 04, 2009, 02:12:54 AM »

yeah, that's like way true, and a half!

Geeze's soliloquies are like unto a raging torrent
washing madly at the dikes attempting to keep the current constrained,
and collateral damage from eventuating..

Back and forth the currents weave, madly, chaotically,
and yet they all wind up supporting a frantic dash in the same direction.

All comparitives have their limitations, though:
and this one is exhausted:

for water runs invariably downhill,
whereas Geeze's nuanced diatribes and explanations
sometimes run sideways, and sometimes uphill, even:

but the fascination is always to see if the banks are broken,
and the countryside flooded with invectives, and writs of habeus corpus:

like a bank of flash-flood water running down the course,
when all is said and done,
little remains standing in front of his intent.

They are always worth reading.

wow!! nice one!

also

sometimes, like reading 'MEK boil revisited", it reminds me of the instructions to using the holy hand grenade

Quote

First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceedest on to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen
