Must have been Graham Cooper 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The current
one, 7, is probably unaware of anything done by the others.

And BTW, the full content of his latest, shown above, is one
of the more intelligent I've seen from him.

Just sayin'... ;-)

IMO, it's no nearly so much a matter of intelligence as it is
about sanity, but YMMV.

Nope, that would be "religious artifacts". If you happen to
belong to the "right" tribe, of course...I doubt Elizabeth
Warren would qualify.

I'm sure Fauxcahontas could get a script for *some* sort of
hallucinogenic drug, and that it would make her seem more sane.

She doesn't need a scrip; she's one of the "above the law"
types, like Hillary.

Nope. I don't recall anything about nailing chickens' heads in your
posts years ago about attempting to apply for the prize. I assume
you're talking about the JREF prize for proving you have any magic
powers. That's up to $1M USD now. I'm sure you could find the
reference, and give us links to it, if it exists.

I suppose it's a great improvement that he's obsessed with nailing
chickens' heads, rather than poisoning random strangers' food, or
stalking innocent women. I still recall what James Randi said when
he remembered Graham: "Oh him; he's just crazy."

I don't recall ever having any 45s, but I did have right around 100
LPs when I "upgraded". I gave those all away, along with a linear
tracking turntable (keeps the needle aligned with the groove!), and
decided to replace it all with CDs. That's been quite a few years,
and I still haven't replaced all of them. There were some I never
will (crap like solo work from Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues), but
there were some I liked. My wife suggested I start buying a few CDs
each month, but after a couple months I stopped even doing that. Most
of the time now I'm listening to either streaming music (mostly YouTube
MyList random feed), or MP3s. I know it's a lossy compression from
what's already a lower-information CD format, but with my hearing it
makes no difference. So why hold onto vinyl records after all this
time?

No real reason to get rid of them, even after I cleaned
them, converted them all to MP3 format and ran some
cleanup/enhancement software where it was needed. *That*
took a few days of evenings!

I suppose I could check on the possible collector value, but
it's not a major priority.
