-------------------- History of the Lopsided Poopdeck I figured when I started this blog that sooner or later someone would ask me where the name 'The Lopsided Poopdeck' came from.  No one has asked so now I'm going to bore you to tears and tell you anyway! Back in ancient times around June of last year I decided it was time to start a new web page after a long hiatus (see post below).  I wanted to come up with a name that was a little different then 'Right this' and 'Right that'.  I leaned back in my chair to go into thinking mode and something I saw on my desk made the name pop into my head almost immediately. I have been an Amateur Radio Operator since first licensed in 1961.  I have had 6 different call signs during that time.  One of them was KD6LP issued in 1981.  We Amateurs (hams) like to give each other phonetics to go with the letters of our call signs.  I remember the day I first used the LP call we came up with a hundred different sets of phonetics before I stopped writing them down.  Large Pizza, Long Play, Large Penis, ...etc....you get the picture. There was one ham who I did not get along with.  Not unusual because I don't get along with very many.  I have a very low tolerance for stupidity.  Another thing I have a very low tolerance for is lying.  Probably because I'm jealous of those who are good at it and can get away with it.  My lying career has been a miserable failure since early childhood so I have just learned to stay away from it. Anyway....this ham was heavy into story telling or the telling of what I like to call "Whoppers".  We did not communicate much because of that flaw in his character.  One day he started telling everyone that he had built a cannon with a straight trajectory!  I came unglued and let him know what I thought of his story telling (lying) on the air in front a large audience.  In a very short time he had hung the Lopsided Poopdeck label on me.  I guess he thought it was somehow a derogatory term but it stuck and from that point on I was known on the air as The Lopsided Poopdeck. OK...you can wake up now. 4:35:04 PM

-------------------- Maddox does O'Reilly O'Reilly wouldn't be such a bad guy if he would quit crying for a few minutes, step back, re-evaluate his life, and realize that he's a giant blubbering vagina. In June of 2003, O'Reilly attacked the only form of media he was powerless in: the Internet. In his "Talking Points Memo" segment, he whined that "nearly everyday, there's something written on the Internet about me that's flat out untrue," continuing with his theory that "the reason these net people get away with all kinds of stuff is that they work for no one. They put stuff up with no restraints. This, of course, is dangerous..." Yeah, real dangerous Bill. Next thing you know, people will get the crazy idea that they have the right to express their opinions as they see fit. Who knows? Maybe this idea will catch on and they'll add it to the Constitution of the United States, giving it a catchy title like "freedom of speech." What do you think of that you sock-sniffing bog trotter?

-------------------- If you’re a conservative..... That’s right: according to the media elite and their smarmy Thurston Howell, III’s, point of view, those of us who make up the core of traditional American values are woefully naïve bores.  The average working hard, playing hard, salt-of-the-earth American is despicable to the pompous, wannabe-Euro-socialist-talking-heads that carp, fart and blather anti-American sentiments at us via the CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN nightly news. And you know what?  Good, old Americans like us have had enough, and we are decisively turning them off en masse, for their unfair and unbalanced, blindingly liberal reporting and their condescension towards those of us who dare to differ.

-------------------- My old page fades into the sunset Once again Yahoo has sent me a notice saying that if I don't update my old page it will disappear in 30 days.  I seem to remember the same threat about two months ago. As I said then -- I would love to update it but they have not let me logon for almost three years now.  Numerous e-mails have all been answered with the same form e-mail saying that it is my fault and I must really be dumb. Back when I started the page I would visit almost daily to make little changes.  Suddenly one day (right after Yahoo acquired Geocities) I could not log into my own page using the same ID and password I had always used.  My e-mails were always answered by telling me that I must have forgotten my password and to get a new one.  I did as they said and received the new password from Yahoo.  You guessed it....still not able to log on.  After a few months I just gave up. I would tell you where you can go Yahoo but I'm sure I would just be repeating what thousands of other have told you. I will just leave quietly with a simple BITE ME!  CP 1:47:04 PM
