I hadn't seen your last post when I wrote mine, as it hadn't been posted when I started writing. Thus it wasn't in response to the "loser" comment.

Gee, I read this completely differently...I thought the L-Man referred to Loren, being summoned to yet another rendition of the Chieftan/Overton, Hardy/Goldie controversy.

Been there. Done that. Loren, thanks for not taking the inadvertent bait, dude.

You may be right, Kev. I hadn't thought of that.

Geeze,

I don't practice yoga, but after seeing Phil's post, I wish I did! I didn't have much respect for this guy, but now he's hit the bottom. How does yoga work anyway? I'm trying to breath slowly, think of nice birds in the sky, flowers in the garden... kinda seems to work!

Jim and Kevin,

Like JSW pointed out: No need for me here really, Phil is his own worst enemy.

Ahh, nothing quite like sitting back and watching the Joker shoot himself in the foot.....again. Seems to be a trend with some of the whistle makers lately.....

Hi, everybody...

So this guy, see, runs over a cat and flattens it. He feels terrible about it and goes to the door of the nearest house and an old lady answers the door. "I'm afraid I've run over your cat," he says, and the lady looks and sees her cat flattened. "I feel terrible about this," the man says, "Please let me replace your cat."

"Well," says the lady, "alright. But, how are you at catching mice?"

I don't think this really applies to this thread but I just wanted to let you all know I stopped by.

Well, there is the old saying about the more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets.

I'm starting to feel like I need to take a Prozac before I visit these boards. If ya'll were any more cheerful, I don't think I could'a stood it!

Just a thought...the 'Chieftain and 'Kerry' items are probably the slowest sellers on my website...why might that be?????

I actually knew the version where the guy runs over this cock crossing the road[or do you guys call them roosters overthere], goes up to the woman of the house to tell her he's sorry and want to replace him. 'Ah grand' she says, 'the hens are round the back'.

Funny Dale, but I was expecting a punchline more apropos of this thread, something like, "that's nice but that's not my cat, so I don't give a hoot."
Seriously though, when I read this thread yesterday, prior to the other Phil's response (I'll let him be Phil no. 1; he makes whistles and I don't), I just took it as a simple sort of scientific correction of information by Colin, not "Watch out that's an inferior Chieftain and not a real Overton." I think although Ebay is for the general public, people interested in buying whistles are mostly part of a smaller group out there who should know as much as possible what they're getting. And frankly, that's quite simple here as Colin clearly marks and dates his whistles; I don't know what Bernard does never having seen one of his.
Finally, I found the Phil no. 1 post to be strikingly peevish to say the least.

So a Hindu, a Rabbi and a lawyer were walking about and it was late so they knocked on the farmers door and asked for a place to stay for the night.

Farmer says "OK, but I only have room for two of you in my house...one of you has to sleep in the barn"

Rabbi says "OK, I'll sleep in the barn".

But at 1:00 a.m., a knock on the farmer's door.

Its the Rabbi.

He says "im so sorry, but there are pigs in the barn, and I cant sleep in the barn because it violotes my religious beliefs"

Hindu says "No prob, I'll sleep in the barn."

2:00 am. Knock on door.

Its the Hindu.

He says "Im so sorry, but there is cow in barn, and cow is holy, so so sorry but I cannot sleep in the barn either"

The lawyer whines angrily, says "you wimps. It just a barn. OK fine, I'll sleep in the $%^&*#@@ barn, I dont let stupid things like this bother me, so I'll sleep in the #$#%#$# barn. Are you all #$#%$#%&&* happy now?"

So lawyer goes into barn and everyone goes back to sleep.

3:00 a.m. Knock on door.....

Its the Cow and the Pig.

Who do any threads involving Phil Hardy and Colin Goldie devolve into random silliness?
