Nothing to do with US Congress. This is the Executive Committee of the General Forum party and its National Congress. As a full Executive Committee member (although of course not a member of the Politburo) I really thought you would have known that. Get with the program Ranger Joe - the Committee can always have you replaced......




RangerJoe -> RE: Hello (8/20/2019 4:40:59 PM)

Okay, I thought that I was showing my brilliance but instead was showing my numptyness. Does that mean I get a promotion? Or am I already at my incompetence level according to the Peter principle? If I was married I would know this since my wife would inform me. But since I am still free . . . [8D]

LoL - that is what I thought but saw Zorch's post and assumed I'd missed it off my post. But it would appear that both yourself and Zorch removed the symbol when making your subsequent posts. [shakes fist in exaggerated black and white comedy stylee] Grr you rotters!




And I thought £ was the short form for the word pound. If so, it could be interpreted liberally. I could give a couple hundred pounds of flesh.

No, £ is not the short form for pound. £ is the short form for pound sterling. And pound sterling is the official currency of UK. So pounds of flesh will not do if you pay in £.

No no no. That's the wrong question. Ask not "why 25 pages"? Ask instead: "Why NOT 25 pages!"

Indeed. One could ask that. Or one could ask: "Why only 25 pages?".

Because the Executive Committee of the General Forum has a certain level of numptiness. So counting beyond twenty-five pages is too much to ask.

I understand. It is difficult counting past the number of fingers and toes on your hands and feet.

Perhaps the Executive Committee of the General Forum can educate the numpty in the art of counting nostril hairs in order to help with the more advanced math?

Management always asks for an executive summary anyway. With small words. And in big print.

One could. But unless they were being circumlocutious why would they? I believe that one should eschew obfuscation.

Back to the dictionary for me[:)]




warspite1 -> RE: Hello (8/20/2019 8:22:33 PM)

So, in the interests of time, I think it would be sensible for each Committee member to formulate and present his/her arguments, for and against comrade Chickenboy's question, ahead of the Numpty Consideration Plenary Session. Voting can then take place during the Plenum and the results presented at the 27th National Congress.

In the interests of brevity I would ask all Committee members to present their views (in no more than a paragraph) on the matter in question - ergo and theretofore:

"Why is Warspite1 a numpty?"

Ask not, "Why is Warspite1 a numpty?" Ask instead "Why are not the rest of us numpty?".

Excuse me! Excuse me! [bangs on desk with a shoe]

Sorry. Too Russian.

Anyways, as I was saying, let's not rush to vote on this one singular issue. There are so many useful numptinian votes we could have. Comrade Zilch raises an excellent (for him) suggestion. One that paws at the very back door of one's imagination, needing to go outside for a logistical tinkle.

I think we should cast a net and canvas our local numptinian comrades. Those that have 'contributed' to this thread would be good for starters. I think the question we should ask our...erm...'illustrious' group gathered here today should be:

"What numptinian or numpty-like votes do people desire here today?"

I believe that the question you've forwarded for a vote is worthy of consideration. I also believe that Zilch's 'Why are not the rest of us numpty' is an interesting question to be posed as well. I for one countenance both of these questions-and more-as our present company shall identify in good time.

Why thank you, Comrade CB.

As a great non-numpty writer put it, to be (Numpty) or not to be (Numpty)? That is the Gesaltachuken.

I hypothesize that it (numptiness) cannot be proved or disproved within a logically consistent system. It is undecidable except by observation.

For the sake of being non-circumlocutious.

I agree.

But comrade CB The question has been put to the people and must be answered by the Central Committee for the people. To add additional questions at this juncture is merely vacillation and as an apparatchik of the old school you are conversant with the dangers inherent in this course of action, no? Let us have no more procrastination, the proletariat demand answers!

He is not. My Lord Warspite, the first, is a true genius, and to call him a numpty is a mockery and it will not stand. The committee is making a fool of itself for making such a claim. I call upon the chair for the Committee on Committees to create a committee that will examine how such a obviously false statement could have been made at all, and that he initiates the creation of the Committee for overseeing Committee oversights.




Orm -> RE: Hello (8/21/2019 9:22:35 AM)

I further suggest that the Central Committee for the people, of the people, and by the people, should elect, at once and without delay, My Lord Warpite, the First, to the position of Overseer of the Chair for the Committee on Central Committee for the people, of the people, and by the people.

Beria: As instructed, anti-party, counter revolutionary, and bourgeois obstructionists have been removed. The rump committee will meet in the phone booth outside party headquarters. The agenda is to define 'numpty' to the party's satisfaction.
