Petition to Bring AndrewK Back

I heard a rumor that Andrew had a twin brother that got sent away to the US right after birth.
I know it’s just a rumor but …
Now with Andrew gone and all I just wondered, would it be inappropriate to give Big T a Big hug?

That wasn't Andrew's twin brother that got sent to the USA,
but Andrew. The fellow in England is Big Tex.

Group hug

Intersting point, Marcus. I also heard some interesting coincidences between Andrew's banishment and both Lincoln and Kennedy assasinations.

But seriously... Andrew made his bed long ago even though during his last tour here on C&F he was much more sociable and started far fewer rows. I actually learned to appreciate Andrew's discussions and see them for what they were and not for what feelings they stirred up.

But not all of us can be bothered to learn to deal with another person's personality snags. We all have them, some more intrusive than others. I know I am not innocent in this matter.

At the end of the day it's Dale's house, Dale's rules. I think Dale's a great host and the fora here are better than a lot I've come across.

And good seeing your brief return, Gordon.

Cheers,
Aaron

ADD: Judging by Andrew's flippant view of Bryan Byrne's flutes and Tex's praise of the same, I will leave the dual-identity theories as just that.

If one tries to hoist (foist?) false colors, e.g., a decoy C&F login...

Certainly not if there's any pittard-ing going on. Now that's asking for trouble, or as it were, whistling for a wind. It's ill-advised. (cue audio, Billie Holiday singing Ill Wind...)

One has to admit that nothing's been the same since what's-his-name stopped posting. You know, OR BAN! guy.

What was that guy's name?

I think he was a Chinese guy living in Nova Scotia? Or maybe a Newfie living in Hong Kong . . . toMAYto, toMAHto.

he was 6' 7" and had enough flutes that he actually fenced his 1.7 acre property with flutes (Stuart you are 100% right, he did live right on the border of Nova-Scotia and Texas), sticking up one next to the other. There was a long section that went: R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey....,
none of which were Boxwood (the curve allowed for wild animals to go through).
I heard that he used to drink Whiskey by the Gallons.
I miss him !
eilam.

PS. I actually typed in all the: Boosey, R&R, Potter, Boosey, R&R,.................by hand !

I think Eilam just became a national treasure. International, even.

(I think there are some Texans -- not Stuart! put down the pistol(s)! -- who really do think Texas and Nova Scotia share a border. Or even that Texas and the U.S. share a border. . .)

Eilam, there's this little thing called "copy and paste" . . . We should talk.

Who was it that told me privately that this guy named Andrewk came to visit Texas and a guy named Big Tex showed him how the Americans play football? He said that American football made him incomfortable because when they got in their huddle after each play, they probably talked about him. Was this the same AndrewK?

sturob · Post by **sturob** » Mon May 09, 2005 8:59 pm

A little bird told me. LKTHOMAS! 'Member him?

Ah, those were the days.

I do have a pistol but I must admit that I don't have a concealed-carry license. Pistols scare me; I used it for target shooting in college but I've kind of quit doing that. I don't own any ammunition for it.

It's a Beretta Pratten 4-key.

You seem to be a bit of a rogue, Kelpie, and would be better off spending your time learning some elementary spelling and punctuation rather than trying to con readers into thinking that Andrew could in anyway transform himself into a long tall Texan!

Hi Guys
I believe big tex and andrew speak the same language, Would you please go to "A study of some nice old flutes" and read the last few treads on that,
and compare and tell me if Big tex and andrew are related? as far as speaking the very same language

Even though Andrewk was an insulting what not, i still actually enjoyed his response to some of the treads.

Good man, Paul! And I suppose I am indeed hoist on my own petard (albeit one I rigged unwittingly). Then again ... I've seen the description of "Pittards leather" in numerous horse-supply catalogs ... but maybe leather isn't a place we want to go. (except in the case of Nano's chaps)

Eilam is indeed an international treasure. He's wanted in 19 countries.
