Peter Mc. dislikes Bluebursts

Post by stubby »

I've found a blatant discriminatory practice in Peter's spell-checker. In my last posting (I think in "The Others"), I mentioned both a Fireglo and a Blueburst finish. His spell-checker picked up "Blueburst" but not "Fireglo." For shame Peter, for shame!

Stubby, you're a rabbler rouser...

Did someone say Duane Eddy? I figured I should post a shot of him with a Ric.

I'm glad that Paul's incendiary posting has at least generated some productive discussion...

Bill I would almost bet that Fireglo has been added to the dictionary by Peter. That would explain why it was not picked up. Blueburst was probably not in there when you posted. It's probably there now.
There are not too many things that get past him.

(No it still picks it up) Hmmmmm!

I know and he hasn't said a word yet. He's probably too ashamed-bet he hasn't shaved since my posting, wandering around his house in a ratty old bathrobe, maybe speaking in tongues. His boss is wondering where he's been the last couple of days and his friends wonder why he isn't answering thier calls. Oi, and his family, how could I be such a homewrecker? I feel bad now that I was so hard on him. I'm sorry Peter. Really sorry.

Stubby, you are a rabble rouser, and that is a cool picture of a legend up there.
