I can't be sure, Captain, but it appears to be an ancient code, only understood by a long-dead race...

It's from another forum, where someone posted a hypothetical conversation between two kids looking at a Keefe card - N162 or N28 since described as a painting.

I look at it as an example of how these got lost over the years. It's even kind of neat because this kind of thing could have happened this way.

Just my two cents.

Joann

(Edited to add: BetterMost appears to be a forum that is an offspin of the Brokeback Mountain fan community. Julie either found or posted the above and transferred it here.)

surely the universal translator must recognize a word or two allowing us to somehow manage to piece together some kind of recognizable interpretation.

to have the old Julie back!

Julie is back.
Joann - stop trying to explain the unexplainable.
Any post from Julie beats another poll or grading post.
She even got a nice picture in, at the right size.
Made my Friday.
Thanks Julie -

It is great to have Julie back. She always seems to bring a smile to my face.

Julie is one of a kind to say the least.

Joanne came closest...I POSTED the card on BetterMost, AND the conversation, and 866 more posts, and I'll bn glad to bring some more over, but didn't think they'd be appropriate. I also thought this was a way for old cards to get lost and found--as Joanne suggests---and believe me, Jack's pa would never have given Jack the card if he had thought it was worth anything.

Don't suppose any of you have any Kirk/Spock...never mind.

the Keefe, plus the other 7 baaseball players, went as a group for $13,000 in REA...some were in lesser condition.

PostEd a really neat early photo of Mathewson. This one.

If you're sdtil speasking to me, warshawlaw...I can't remember what an N54 is...

here's the Mathewson I posted--courSe, he wasn't alone, and lEON WOULD GET MAD IF i POSTED HIS COMPANY./..IN FACT, LEON'S LIKELY TO GET MAD anyway...

Have also posted my (ex) N172 Chicago Kelly portrait, Davidcycleback's pig team beaitin the "Cholera 9," and there's a brief discussion if Davey Concepcion (1987) in a not-yet-publioshed story...

Can't be teenagers. the one with the wallet wouldn't have gotten a wallet until he was married (late 66-early 67)--which makes them 23-24--at least.
Also, an 18-year-old kid throws a wadded-up piece of paper into a wastebasket, half an offce away, and says "Next year, the Mavericks are gonna draft me." (1883).

Also, poted a picture of Monte Sheldon's artball of Hoss Radbourn...for other reasons...

Julie: for those of us who are trying to cut back on our interdimensional rift travel expenditures, if you are not speaking of the after the Alpha Dog/Gyllenhall jump BetterMost, please provide us a link so that we can more fully enjoy your post.

Bob tells me an alpha dog is one that leads the pack...if you say so...sorry I can't find it; it's around there somewhere...

Mark Macrae insists that i posted a phoney ( or perhsps real...who knows?) Wagner...

"alpha dog..." that's interesting.."Post Gyllenhal alpha dog jump on betterMost"..jeez, you're not resding our stories, I hope... This is Jake Gyllenhall, who, as far as I know, is not gay. He is not acting, but dressed to act.

I certainly don't know what it is all about, but one of the many BetterMost message boards included stuff about beyind Brokeback Mountain, such as: "the rest of this post is after the jump. Heath Ledger was nowhere to be seen as Alpha Dog Justin Timberlake presented Jake Gyllenhaal with his 'you da man' moves and a ... "

So if you are posting on a different site, I am unaware of it.

There is only one BetterMost...there's a much larger board called DaveCullen. You sure manage to make the relationship saound dull ("you da man"?) This is NOT the place to discuss this, but--who drove 14 GODDAM HOURS every time he saw Ennis, 1967-1983? (that's 28 hours roundtrip?)

here are Heath and Jake, dressed for acting----but (obviouly) not acting.

warshawlaw: "Lighten up., Francis" All I can renmember is Francis, the Talking Mule...Bob says it was fuuny, making allowences for the time it was made (you know, Grande Illusion, Birth of a Nation, Nosferastu, Snow White--crap like that...)

"Lighten up Francis" I remember that line from the movie "Stripes" It was the drill sargent saying it to one of the goof balls at boot camp...

I still have no idea what this thread is about.

Right after Francis aka Psycho runs down his list of thing's he'll kill the other men for doing (touching him, touching his stuff, etc.), the DS (played by Warren Oates) says it.

Other than the Warren Oates' "Lighten Up Francis" line from Stripes (which I have used on this board before), I have no frigging clue what this thread is about...

I've been promixsed that I'll be well by a week from roday. better be, I'm flying to Chicago next Friday.

Goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you
Goin' to Chicago, sorry butx i can't take you
Cause there's nothin in Chicago for a good man like you to do.

If by "alpha dog" you meant "alpha male," that cannot ber discussed here. In fact a whole lotta things cannot be discussed here, which is why so many people are making hysterically funny posts about how they don't understand the thread! And they cannot because, to paraphrase e.e.cummings, but about Leon:

"There is some sh*t he will not eat."

I will never understand several things, most of all computers; but females are not far behind. In any case, I am glad that there is no gender specific tab key.

Any simpatico is similarly non-gender specific, simply real. I wish that I could achieve some reproducible reality from my keyboard.

But it is ok, some of my best friends are not gender specific (oh wait - I don't live in SF anymore). Yes, my friends now are still unconcerned, but their lack of concern somehow differs.

Chicago sounds somehow exhilerating, until winter sets in. Have a good trip.

Posted By: Julie Vognar

Youe friends are unconcerned with their own gender? That cuold get awkward, given the right set of circumstances...I'm only staying in Chicago til Oct. 2.

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

I have neither concerns nor uncertainties about my gender - wait, let me check again. Yup! Just like I remembered.

As far as others, I prefer those who limit themselves to one or two. But that is becomming less common.
