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.

Why do you keep posting this message on comp.std.c; as far as I can

Big Bertha Thing reason (see at end)


I'm sorry; I can't make head nor tail of your "reason".

Hi James,
Your wizard address does not work, even though you use it on usenet.


Most people have no trouble reaching me at that address. Perhaps as a
known spammer my ISP filters you out when you try to mail me at the
wizard.net address? However, in that case it's odd that you can reach
me through my NASA address; NASA usually has much better filters than
my ISP does.

For a strategic overview you need to see;-

Try one of the 36K pages.
For a weapon to work effectively, only the target needs to know, that
he has been blown up. These guys know for sure.


I'm afraid I still don't understand. What's the weapon? Who's the
target? Who's using the weapon? Why is the weapon being used on the
target?

Hi James,
six years later try this reply:-
Big Bertha is the name of a lady tramp in the cartoon series the
Tramps.
It is also the name of a german artillary field piece mounted on a
railway
carriage, used to bombard Paris.Big Bertha Thing is a scientific
cartoon series,
some work, some don't.
It is also a siege canon, assault rifle and first aid tent. (Carafat)
The anecdotes, poems and jokes, at the end of each postings (2nd
place),
started as postcards to the first aid tent. When it was attacked by
left wing moderators at university, they became assault rifle bullits.
They were then upgraded to artillary shells by the addition of
pictures
of sub-atomic particles, which looked like shell holes.
(gamma, electron, proton, positron and positive.)
Some additions were part of a scientific project.
(summation, extract, pastures, moisture, features, letter, outlandish)
Mathematical - PI
Contextual in terms of battle.
(pathos, tidings, sedan, chair, tidings, pin-wheel, progress,
balloon,
hacked, invite)
Scientific (spider, coil, gyro, monorail, halfrail, dwarf, burster,
uniform, lightcraft, unified, fusion.)
Collections of postings. (battle, faculty, retrenchment, redoubt,
mathematics and astronomy.)

Hey! I've just found out, something really interesting.
For the next three months, this conference is the only
crap-shoot in town.

So step right up and try Big Bertha, otherwise known as
Pastures.

Just two things;-
1. 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.
2. If it is not broken, do not fix it. Some parts of the project
may need repairing. If you cannot fix it, with a good suggestion,
then do not take it apart, in the first place, with a bad one.

NB Subject Big Bertha and 'Just two things:-' gives brand name:-
Big Bertha Thing
Big Bertha Thing 3
Big Bertha Thing farm
Big Bertha Thing battle,farm (common)
Big Bertha Thing battle,farm,fusion (common, message)

There is an old joke about prisoners, who know all the old jokes,
so they gave them numbers. A new prisoner on finding out what is
going on, decides to call out a number. Nothing. Zilch. Dinada.
On querying this, he is told, that it is the way he tells them.

The parts of Big Bertha called common are based on this principle.
