Novi, MI Posts: 2608 | Kurt, I am charged with watching over other folk's dough...Today I spent a large part of my time taking care of my annual compliance stuff that I have to do to maintain my securities lic's etc...Real fun stuff, eh!? The DOW went north by 200+ points...No problem there... I guess I was bored mister and made a feeble attempt to entertain myself... Thanks for helping me maintain some sanity here buddy! :) I am serious though that I'm going to "reel" myself in a bit and stop nugging in to quality conversations with trivia...If I truely need to "step-out" I'll start a new thread... But thanks again! | |

Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604 | "...spending much time with a rod in your hand..." This is just too easy ;) Ha Ha. :):) Wow, I walked into that one! Reminds me of "Happy Gilmore." Remember the bar scene after the first round of golf? The antagonist Shooter McSomething tells Happy, "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!", to which Happy replied, "So... You eat shit for breakfast?" Very good Spence... Very good.:) Semper pax, Kurt | |

Novi, MI Posts: 2608 | That is a dastardly accusation without merit! Proof? We enjoy (put up with) your random musings in the middle of our "scientific" hobnobbery. Oh, and don't think your comment about us "scientific types" not spending much time with a rod in hand went unnoticed... Perfidious slander!:) Ouch! What ya going to do tough guy? Throw your latest copy of "J-NABS" at my head...;) There are some fine grains of truth in your remark...I know I'm in the middle of it all here, but I think this goes to my argument a bit...If I wasn't in the middle of this I'd never get your attention...You boys are in your own world...I am just saying all power to the females in your lives for somehow pulling it off! "...spending much time with a rod in your hand..." This is just too easy ;) and if the ladies hadn't worked their magic this would be your only alternative...Me thinks :) Ok, ok! That was fun...I'll behave myself...Promise! Let's you and I Kurt call a truce ;) and I'll stop before we push this thread in to another page! I will try my best to limit my "dastardliness" (is that a word?) and won't interupt when the adults are speaking...O-Tay Buckwheat?! Being serious...Let us hope that our wives never get together as a group and swap info...We will be toast! The "Nerder Birder" signing off. | |

Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604 | Lloyd -Yes, Jason moved the two large specimens that I had questioned (#483 & #484) from needhami to aurivillii. Ah.. thanks. I got lost putting it together somewhere around Jason's "stegosaurus" post.:) Knew I missed something, now my head is clear. Thanks also for the clarification on the tubercles and including an actual quote from the scientific lit. The specimens of aurivillii in my neck of the woods (or ones I've seen anywhwere for that matter) look like striped dorothea infrequens without discernible tubercles, even when using hand held magnification. It looks like head/pronotum shape and overall size are the most dependable? Spence - ...but I can't understand the absolute lack of romanticism of you bunch of "Nerds"! :) That is a dastardly accusation without merit! Proof?
