Connie is a nice dude...We didn't see eye to eye on political issues but we looked pass these things and together got the job done... He was facilities and I'm still in computers... Talk about "get ones goat"...Flipping LOL The Great Northern Railway (now a part of the BNSF Railroad) constructed a tunnel in the Cascades mountains in Washington in the early 1900s. The railroad set up construction camps at various locations along the line. Each camp had an adminstrative building with the Great Northern flag displayed out front. The logo for the GN railroad was the mountain goat, which was used in advertising, painted on freight and passenger cars, etc. In time, there developed competition between the camps for the best performance - most miles of track laid, bridges built, etc. From time to time, one camp would raid another and take their flag, which of course upset the camp that lost its flag with the goat logo. Thus the phrase "get my goat." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOwn Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Have Aliens Found Us? The point of this analogy is that, for a caveperson, the technologies we have today would have been magic. They would have been God-given. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/have-aliens-found-us-a-harvard-astronomer-on-the-mysterious-interstellar-object-oumuamua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 and what belief in an advanced extraterrestrial civilization has in common with faith in God. Sounds like something I have previously said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I now have definitive evidence of ancient aliens and their place in religion. The Tony Alamo Christian Ministries World Newsletter proclaims that it is most obvious the chariots of GOD as seen in Psalms 68:17 are today's flying saucers, which are known as UFOs. "They are not from any other planet, but are the angels of GOD, which for centuries have policed the earth for crimes against the law of GOD and against the heirs of salvation." (Senate trial to follow). There ya go My Own...it all tidies up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
