Colonel, I actually LOVE goats. The milk, not so much, but I'm not crazy about cow milk either. I just like goats and would have a herd as pets if I lived in the country. And a guard llama.

As I posted elsewhere, I'm trying to decide between going to the state attorney general and licensing board, or taking this to the media first. I guess I could do all three at once and hope it all sticks.

I'm sad that so many people fall for this load, but saddest for my mom.

I'm still not sure if this guy believes in what he does, or if he's a total con man. His daughter went to chiropractor school, and he trained her in whatever weirdness this is. I just have a hard time believing someone would train his daughter to be a flim flam artist.
 
Newbie checking in...

Hello JREFers!

I've been lurking on your forum for a few weeks now, and it's time to dive in I think. I can't promise to make quite the, ahem, impact that some recent new members posting on this thread have (no names, no pack drill ;)) but I'm hoping I can bring something to the table. I've brought a thermos for the goat's milk as I'm in the Middle East and it gets pretty hot here.

Current woo hobby horses include the impact of religious belief in making people behave badly (for example, the standard of driving here influenced by the concept of "inshallah, it will be all right if I send a text while doing 120kph on the highway - Allah's looking after me"), refuting the "where's the harm?" arguments that people deploy in relation to psychics, and lastly getting fired up about the determination of certain religious factions to erode women's rights over their bodies.

So - Hi :D
 
Welcome IronPup. The goats milk is besides an icy cold Millers Draft beer which in your case you probably prefer. Kangaroo steak is grilling on the BBQ as I type, and will be served in a jiffy.
 
Thank you amb & colonel - I will take that beer :D

I can supply a few camel steaks if people would be interested.
 
Morning everyone. I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and decided that it might be interesting to jump in and become part of the community. A little background - my formal training is in computer science; I'm a programmer by day. My main interest in these forums is in the conspiracy theories section; when I was in high school, before I knew better, I read one of Jim Marrs's books on the JFK assassination and wrote my senior research paper on the conspiracy. Not too long after, I realized what a drooling loon he is, and I've regretted writing that paper ever since. Nevertheless, the analysis and debate over even the most stupid minutiae fascinates and engages me. Since then, my main area of focus has been 9/11 Twoof, which I have studied fairly intensely, but since coming here, other conspiracy theories of a more technical nature have also caught my attention. It's been fun to learn so much about so many things in so short a time.
 
Welcome whatsyourname. If you see the goat roaming about give it a pat. Easter week menu is fried crocodile meat, scrambled emu eggs, a glass of goats milk and sweets.
 
Welcome ---Dopefish----- (I shortend your name ) Never regret doing any thing unless your caught with your pants down in a herd of sheep. Ok that being said Welcome to the forum, every Friday I post a weekend menue for you NewB's , if you have been lurking like you say you have, then you know what I am talking about. Here have a fresh glass of Goats milk.

The good news is, I got the top mark in the class for that paper, and the teacher told me it was one he kept going back to and re-reading because it was so excellently done. So at least my research skills were top-notch, even if my source analysis wasn't.

You forgot about the eggs! What's Easter without the eggs?

Thank you R.T. Sunday Mornig we will have an egg hunt. If the Easter bunny shows up on time,He is still pretty mad at me, a few years ago I was out Rabbit hunting. And well I thought that some how this rabbit raided my hen house, he had a basket full of eggs and I shot it. So if you see the easter rabbit that hops with a limp you know why.
 
Hello everybody,
I've been referred to the JREF forum quite a number of times over the past few years (especially while debating the history of Christianity and of religion in general)and I finally decided to participate. I have a degree in Ancient History from Leiden University in the Netherlands and I am currently studying to become a History teacher.
 
Welcome Spui!

History? That's quite the coincidence, I just found some very old eggs that we hid last year for Easter. Care for one?

Why would you want to shoot a basket full of eggs?
 
Finally registered

When I said I shot it ,I meant the Rabbit

Colonel, I assumed you were confused about which came first, the rabbit or the egg.

In either case, I'm glad I registered. I've been reading the forum for a very long time (maybe 8 years) and have finally decided to participate.

My contribution to the next dinner will be Belhaven ale.

I know about the goat, and about Shemp, so no need to point them out.

Welcome Xterra I look forward to the Belhaven I have not had any of that in several years. I used to get it at a little Pub called the man of Kent in Hoosickfalls NewYork.and as our custom goes here is a glass of Goats milk and an Oatmeal cookie. :D

Ah yes, but do you know about the kangaroo steaks? :)
 
Good morning and HAPPY EASTER and Welcome to all you NEWB's

I have been told there will be an Easter egg hunt at Shemps today. it starts at noon and will go all day and into the night .
 
Welcome Spui!

Thank you, Bell! Why yes, I'll have one of those. I'm tired of archaeologists claiming to be the only ones to live life on the edge.
 
Hello, I finally joined up. I was at QED Con last month in Manchester England, and chatted in the dead dog party with DJ. Remembered to join after I refound his card.

I attend lots of Skeptics stuff in the UK and am looking to spread it with panels at conventions.

I also attend woo in the pub talks and am subverting some of the more lucid attendees away from the crazy and also get the latest buzz on woo initiatives. I also get to upset some of the speakers with pointed questions, especially the nasty ones.

I have a software/science and gambling history and so I have both the science and trickster elements to my background. In a similarish way to how magicians are tricksters and valuable in our outreach.
 
Interested in the truth, as opposed to The Truth.

Believing in the truth appears to require less meds than The Truth.
 
Howdy all!

I'm a second generation computer programmer and third-generation science fiction fan, and I've been a fan of JR for over a quarter of a century. I've been browsing the forums here for a while, but never really felt the need to post--I signed up mostly to be able to follow an interesting link into a member's-only forum.

As far as religion goes, I'm somewhere between the Discordians and the Pastafarians, but as a Californian, I feel it my duty to invent religions rather than join them. So far, I've invented three, one of which (involving the worship of coffee) had as many as three members at its peak. (I'm really surprised that one didn't do better--a nice cuppa joe at dawn can be a truly religious experience!)

In general, I describe myself as a polytheistic agnostic, but I'm serious about the agnostic part. There is absolutely no evidence that would convince me of the existence of gods, simply because of Clarke's Third Law: "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." On the other hand, I do believe in coffee!

As for other forms of woo, I tend to be skeptical in inverse proportion to how far up the Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness they are. But I still wanna see some hard evidence before I buy any of it.

cheers

p.s. I'm not a fan of goats milk, but if you have any coffee... :)
 
Welcome newbs! The weekend is still a few days away so for now we only have freshly grilled roadkill and old motor oil that *looks* like coffee.
 
old motor oil that *looks* like coffee.

Um, thank you kindly, but according to these ancient documents I have just hurriedly scribbled down, it would be blasphemous for me to accept your offer. For it is written in the Book of the Divine Bean, chapter 12, verse 5: "No Javacrucian shall knowingly partake of a beverage which pretends to be coffee but is not--unless he or she really wants to." And, somehow, I find myself unable to really want old motor oil.

You forgot the Goats milk, we always have that.

I already pre-emptively declined any offer of goat's milk and asked for coffee instead. As it is, I guess I'll just have to be content with the roadkill. Well-done for me, please.
