GG Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I know how you dont like to fact check so I did for you. As usual you are almost right. It is true that there was a very brief disclaimer at the beginning but it was not until 40 minutes into the "adaptation" of HG Welles "War of the Worlds" that Welles announced it was a hoax. This was preceded by at least two "reports on site" of contemporary horror. It was all good fun. If I am not mistaken much of the action occurred in New Jersey! 303772[/snapback] Back to reading comprehension. Almost right? How is KRC not "totally right" in supporting EII's memory? EII said there was a disclaimer at the beginning, and if the listeners missed the disclaimer, they may have been duped - 40 minutes is a long time in radio world.

Campy Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Reading your posts is like listening to someone who just passed the TOEFL and now thinks he's Shakespeare. 303786[/snapback]

But... It was a BRIEF disclaimer! Maybe he (Beau) would have wanted the disclaimer to be a full blown treatise? I think all it takes is for the station to say is: "What you are about to hear is not true, purely fiction." End of disclaimer. Beau does seem to be having fiction, non-fiction problems?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Beau does seem to be having fiction, non-fiction problems? 303934[/snapback] Can't distinguish fiction and non-fiction, can't distinguish "converse" and "obverse", can't distinguish "Catholic" and "non-Catholic"...I'm sensing a pattern...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Other then he is very typical of the "average" poster here in comprehension skills, I don't. 303939[/snapback] But if he's an average poster...that would make him "unexceptional", which I assume would then make him "exceptional" in his own eyes...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 How do you keep your oversized cranium upright enough to post so coherently? 303956[/snapback] I don't. I hang from my tail in a tree. I am, after all, a crap-throwing monkey.
VABills Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I don't. I hang from my tail in a tree. I am, after all, a crap-throwing monkey. 303961[/snapback] See I thought you were a turd tossing simian. My bad.
KRC Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 See I thought you were a turd tossing simiam. My bad. 303965[/snapback] WTF is a simiam?
VABills Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 WTF is a simiam? 303976[/snapback] Oh sure come to the rescue of the excrement lobbing ape.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 WTF is a simiam? 303976[/snapback] I think it's a Dr. Seuss reference. A turd tossing Sam-I-Am. Still misspelled, though.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 it should be sense a pattern 304202[/snapback] Uhhh..."I'm sense a pattern"? No, it shouldn't. Maybe I was optimistic earlier, in assuming you had passed the TOEFL...
