And thanks for asking. A red h...Of course, O'Grady! And thanks for asking. A red herring, also refered to as a kipper, is a dried, smoked, herring. The curing process turns the fish red.<BR/><BR/>The phrase red herring has a number of metaphorical senses that share the general sense of something being a diversion from the original objective:<BR/><BR/><EM>--a type of logical fallacy in which one purports to prove one's point by means of irrelevant arguments. See Ignoratio elenchi.<BR/> <BR/>--in detective work, mystery fiction, and puzzle-solving, a false clue which leads investigators, readers, or solvers towards an incorrect solution <BR/>in politics, a minor or even phony issue trumped up as being of great importance, in order to influence voters to vote for one party or candidate and against the other, or distract from more important issues that might help the opposing party. (e.g. The claim that Iraq was a threat to the U.S.A.<BR/> <BR/>--in literature, a plot device intended to distract the reader from a more important event in the plot, usually a twist ending. See also McGuffin.<BR/> <BR/>--in adventure games, an item or object of no practical use; its purpose may be to frustrate the ignorant gamer who tries to find the intended use for it. Famous examples are the chainsaw of Maniac Mansion and the actual red herring (although this fish proved useful...) in the original Monkey Island game. Some red herrings exist because some secondary plots or puzzles that existed in drafts were removed from the latest version of the games, but some of the items relevant to those puzzles were forgotten and made their way into the game.</EM> <BR/><BR/>The phrase is believed to originate from the practice of saving a hunted fox by dragging a red herring across its trail to cause the pursuing hounds to lose the true scent and follow the false odor of herring instead.<BR/><BR/>--WikipediaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799591.post-1125593579095851902005-09-02T04:52:00.000+12:002005-09-02T04:52:00.000+12:00My favorite fish is the red herring.Have you heard...My favorite fish is the <EM>red herring.</EM><BR/><BR/><BR/>Have you heard of it, Wikipedia?

Typically the species is a herring or salmon but traditionally it would be any fish found in great numbers caught during its spawning period. Spawning fish are not good to eat fresh, and usually arrive in great abundance, thus they are salted and smoked to improve flavour and preservation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799591.post-1125550085590715102005-09-01T16:48:00.000+12:002005-09-01T16:48:00.000+12:00It saddening that my friends are that stupid.Am I ...It saddening that my friends are that stupid.<BR/><BR/>Am I crazy?<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958466182204788248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799591.post-1125549793102205392005-09-01T16:43:00.000+12:002005-09-01T16:43:00.000+12:00HAIKU IN ORANJ CRAYON_boah is curious...Haiku-gene...<STRONG>HAIKU IN ORANJ CRAYON</STRONG><BR/><BR/><BR/>_boah is curious...<BR/>Haiku-generating soft-<BR/>ware? are you <EM>crazy?</EM><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>--haiku_boahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799591.post-1125394847127480112005-08-30T21:40:00.000+12:002005-08-30T21:40:00.000+12:00Thanks for the tip Moinous.Thanks for the tip Moinous.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958466182204788248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799591.post-1125394495562076612005-08-30T21:34:00.000+12:002005-08-30T21:34:00.000+12:00Paintergirl - I have some other cemetary photos.

While its definition is usually limited to indiscriminate bulk mailing and not any targeted marketing, the term "spam" can refer to any commercially oriented, unsolicited bulk mailing perceived as being excessive and undesired. In the popular eye, the most common form of spam is that delivered in e-mail as a form of commercial advertising. However, over the short history of electronic media, people have done things comparable to spamming for many purposes other than the commercial, and in many media other than e-mail. Spammers have developed a variety of spamming techniques, which vary by media: e-mail spam, instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engines spam, weblogs spam, and mobile phone messaging spam.<BR/><BR/>The name Spamming derives from the Monty Python Spam sketch about a diner which specializes in dishes made from SPAM brand processed meat, where at one point four Viking patrons in the diner began singing praises about SPAM which violently drowns out the normal dialogue in the sketch, hence SPAMming the dialogue. Spamming is economically viable because advertisers have effectively no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists. Because the barrier to entry is so low, the volume of unsolicited mail has produced other costs which are borne by the public (in terms of lost productivity and fraud) and by Internet service providers, which must add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in a number of jurisdictions, including the United States' CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799591.post-1125180615490071622005-08-28T10:10:00.000+12:002005-08-28T10:10:00.000+12:00Cab it up, cab it up, cab it up uptown....
