I'm sorry. Was I drunk or absent the day you were coronated and put in
charge?

There's no such word as "coronated," asshat.

Well, then, I guess there are a lot of "asshats" in here, because they
understood my word.

English

[edit] Verb
Infinitive
to coronate
Third person singular
coronates
Simple past
coronated
Past participle
coronated
Present participle
coronating


to coronate (third-person singular simple present coronates, present
participle coronating, simple past and past participle coronated)

1.. To crown a sovereign; to invest a prince with the insignia of
royalty, on his succeeding to the sovereignty.
I found this on Google out of a dictionary. But then I'm absolutely
positively certain that they do not know as much as you do.

Have a nice day and adjust yer hat.

I think sometimes people feel the need to say something totally wrong just
to get an argument going. Such people are known as "trolls", and it seems
that Mark has earned the privilege of being coronated with that title. Or
perhaps he was playing the game of "gullible", where you tell someone that
the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary, and then watch them go to
the trouble of proving you wrong.

I think that is what Matt did to me some time ago with his remark about a
year ago:

That thread was originally derailed by Melinda, who criticized my
JavaScript coding, rather than commenting on the concept I had proposed
for a dog licensing application, and then the usual suspects tried to
attack my credentials in electronics. Talk about thread drift!

Are you related to Sam Schoen?

I don't think so. My grandparents immigrated here from Germany in 1926, and
had two boys. My uncle had no children, and my father had me, my sister
Cindy, and my brother Bob. There are a lot more Schoens in the phone book
now than there used to be, but I think most of them are Jewish. When I
attended Johns Hopkins University, there was another Paul E. Schoen, who is
now a research physicist in the Washington, DC area. See:

I never actually met him when I went to Hopkins, except that once he was
ahead of me in line at the bookstore, and I was astonished when he signed
his name on a check. He left before I thought about talking to him. I did
exchange email with him a few years ago.

Speaking of which, I really like that boxer that won
"Greatest American Dog."

Ticked me off when they moved that show to Wednesdays - that's
our training night. But there's going to be a Canadian version.
Hmmm.

I apologize. After a few seconds of Googling, I found that I was referring
to L. S. "Sam" Shoen, founder of U-Haul. I had some personal business
dealings with him, and found him to be a delightful brilliant man with a
gleam in his eye.
