Just to get it on the record...
Ernie and I talked earlier this evening, and has always been the case in my experience, the brittle board exchange we had a few days ago in another thread was exactly what we both figured it was---stand-alone written words that had little resemblance to what we actually meant. The Internet strikes again. Without accompanying vocal inflection and body language, written words are "heard" in your head in a voice your brain supplies, and passion does the rest. And the two of us are nothing if not passionate. About exactly he same things, in fact.
So don't worry about us. We get along fine.
The rest of the hour-long call was spent talking about a variety of other cool PipeWorld stuff. Just so you know, the man has some damn good ideas about ways to permanently add to the slowly growing repository of online information for new and upcoming carvers. Stay tuned.
And finally, no, contrary to the confusion Sas has been deliberately sowing around here, Ernie does not have a German accent. Or any German connection at all, for that matter. (I think Sas was one of those kids his teachers called a "precocious child.")

Re: Just to get it on the record...
Nice post... But I can put on a good German accent when I want....have German connections... And actually know some Germans... I'm actually headed back home to Germany tomorrow...

Re: Just to get it on the record...
I know James was a collaborator!
For the record, I never said Ernie had a German accent. He should, he's as Aryan as a lynching and half as tolerant.*
Also for the record, there was a quiet period on this board, where we didn't have any totally crazy assholes stirring up shit, and Ernie and I couldn't stand another moment of it. So we swore an oath. An oath everlasting, transcending borders and time. We swore to hate one another. We swore to flame each other's work, ideas, lifestyle, fashion sense.... all of it. Forever. A formal vendetta.
It is therefore my job, nay, my duty, to argue against whatever Ernie writes, to insult him while doing so, and to continue on this course for as long as we both live. It's like being married, but there's no sex, so... it's like being married. Ernie likens my pipes to Winnebagos, I reckon the homoeroticism of his work goes with his silk shirts and trips to Thailand, it's all good.
Anyway, Ernie, if you read this, I meant what I said about you being a retarded lump of monkey dung in that PM, but I meant it in a nice way, because, after all, we're friends.
*also complete bullshit but that's the point

Re: Just to get it on the record...
Thank God!!!Ernie and I talked earlier this evening
So don't worry about us. We get along fine.
that would have been a blood battle between Ernie's heavily armed backup (Tyler, Sas et al) and George's ferocious shop cat.
I couldn't sleep thinking about how many innocent pipes would get damaged in their wake

I'm pretty sure that's the most insulting post ever written about me. It's dazzling in its sheer breadth.Sasquatch wrote: He should, he's as Aryan as a lynching and half as tolerant. [...]

Re: Just to get it on the record...
Ernie!? German!?
Please. His full name is Ernesto Guadalajara De Pequin Augusto Del Montovani Markle. His title is Generalissimo. Does that sound at all German to you guys? Didn't think so.
Just because he has blondish hair and stunning blue eyes doesn't make him German.
Hope this helps.

If I recall correctly though, a lot of Nazis ended up in South America after the war. Coincidence ?RadDavis wrote:Ernie!? German!?

Re: Just to get it on the record...
Also to get it on the record, since Mr. Yeti, Smoking type, The, (one ea.) wondered if posting my phone number was an invitation to MFers other than Ernie, the answer is sure, why not. Being able to put voices with names is always fun, and live conversation has a different flow than exchanging PMs, posts, or emails.
Be warned I keep seriously late hours, though. Usually sleep from around 4 am to 11 or so. Also, shop tasks often can't be dropped/stopped fast enough to answer a phone, so you might have to leave a message.

I have other variations of the question but they go well beyond the realm of poor taste
