Big Bertha Thing toga

What's a First Aid Tent?
What's a toga party, in "Animal House" by National Lampoon?
In "Mean Machine" starring Burt Reynolds,
he said "If it worked once, it should work twice. Lets do it!"
With the First Aid Tent, it worked twice,
so it should work three times.
The first two battles of cyberspace each started,
when a first aid tent was set up.
The first was set up on the OUSA Classical Particle conference.
The second was set up on four conferences,
in the pseudo Student Research Faculty.
Needless to say both the conference and
the faculty were subsequently closed down by order.
"It's a tale to gladden the ears and to grow old listening to,"
said the giant in the "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant."
by Stephen Donaldson.

2. Without loss of generality, one can take p to be north and a positive definite metric
rather than a Lorentzian one, there is a geodesic of minimal length,
rather than a geodesic of maximum length.
This minimal geodesic will be a line of longitude running from p to q.
BUT there will be another geodesic from p to q which runs down the back up to q.
This geodesic contains a point conjugate to p at the south where all the geodesics
from p intersect. Both the geodesics from p to q are stationary under a small variation.

Erika meet Philip.
Philip meet Erika.

Philip will post your Big Bertha Victim Support postings,
to immortalise each victim in print.
No more than one per victim.
No more than one per day.
Please remember more Sesame Street, than Darth Vader.
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I
paint you?

Each will have a unique pattern name, from the following
list, prepared by my wife. You can add to it yourself, as
needed.

Would some kind person, please send a letter of thanks and
explanation of what it will be used for, to my wife.
She loves me dearly, but thinks I am a typical husband.
Waste of space, makes the room look untidy and needs
dusting round. At least it keeps me sane, healthy and
contented.

Some of the electrons have energies of 1 MeV.

Big Bertha Thing effort

If you see someone slogging away, but doing it all wrong.
Please remember, a great effort, with no results,
is worth more than a great result with no effort.
The first is purchased at great cost and the latter,
in terms of cost, is worthless.

I am apalled by your action, in summarilly deleting, the message from the victim support
group, which consists
entirely of people, that internet thugs have spammed into a comatose state.

Do you want them to have a relapse? Please be a bit more circumspect, in your dealings
with them in future.

I am passing your message to me, on to Pam, whom I feel is better qualified to give you an
objective answer.

Assuring you of my full support, in your efforts as mod.

Thank You,

Big Bertha Thing china

There is an old chinese curse,
which goes "Live in interesting times."
In which times, they used to get their heads chopped off.
They used to go around saying
"Thats not so good, thats not so funny or thats not so interesting."

There was a nation of them, now some 1 billion strong.
There are even bigger numbers in OUSA Classical Particle Conf.,
such as 227879226 photons in an electron.
Every one should have one.

NB. Douai-Rheims cross reference links.
The Sermon on the Mount.
Mark 1,14:15
Matthew 4,12:17
Matthew 5,3
Luke 6,20

NB. Parallels between old and new testament rosary event readings.
They had no wine, yet drank it.
Others had wine and drank not.
One was crowned with thorns and crucified.
Another robed as a king and decreed to hang.
One was scourged at the pillar.
Another derided at the head of a whole column of soldiers.
One was found with the wise men.
Another was found, as the wisest man in Egypt.
Elizabeth and Rachel were barren and both bore child.
One was crucified. and descended into Hell (Limbo), for three days.
Another walked the plank and was swallowed by a whale, for three days.
One was born in a stable.
Another betrothed in a barn.
One was crowned Queen of Heaven.
Another crowned Queen of an empire.
One rose up into Heaven.
Another was taken up in a fiery chariot.
One was baptised in the Jordan.
Another was saved from the bullrushes.
That is 10 out of 20 direct parallels.
The other 10 are more nuanced, but who can tell?

NB. The Original Divine Office of the Church was Simply to Read Book Of Psalms Once a
Week.
(Divisions into days and hours can be the 15 minute segments as follows.) 3 by 7
Each psalm is followed by the prayer. Glory by to the Father and to the Son and to the
Holy Ghost, as it was in the beggining, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
1-9 10-17 18-24 (25-32 33-37 38-44) 45-53 54-60 61-67 (68-72 73-77 78-84)
85-89 90-98 99-104 (105-109 110-117 118-118) 119-131 132-139 140-150

NB. On meditation and contemplation.
You have to dig the field before you can watch the flowers grow. Both are problem solving.

Dread Visions Six Harms
By Tony Lance
(Based on the writings of St.John of the Cross; the Mystic Doctor of the Church.)

Faith fails, replaced by a vision sensible.
What we see is more real, than God invisible.
Visions turn the spirit from its flight Heavenward.
Had Mary Magdallen touched the feet of the Lord.

Then grounded in faith, would she never be.
How can we hold this vision dearer than Thee.
In nakedness of spirit, hold ourselves renouncible.
Grace fails, imperceptible forsaken for perceptible.

The gift becomes a right, which denies the gift.
Decide the vision not from God, with Satan left.
Seeking after visions is a sinfull occasion.
Turning into diabolical, that divine vision.

With the Devil disguised, as an angel of light,
And man too ignorant, to even take fright.
Grace cannot be rejected; into the soul infused.
The taint of evil can be rejected, by vision refused.
