He's really really brave behind his keyboard and the anonymity of the Internet. (Just like the rest of us!  :) )

That's science should be settled - fisticuffs! Thump the controversy!

Hey!

I'm really brave, and I'll meet you in the car park of your choice to prove it. I'm not scared of clowns either (just professors ;-) )

Can someone tell me how he arrived at 1010?

Well, if it was a five minute drive, and he started at 1005...

But seriously, I reckon he assumed 5 bits per character, even though that allows only one case, and no more than 6 non-letter characters.

Henry

Because I see where he thinks he's going with this I perceive a typo - well, let's see if my comment appears.

Did you intend to type 1616 instead of 1010?

Silence reigns. I should have said 1818 just for kicks.

What if it's 1812?

Butter. being a longer word, it has more CSI and so is more useful.

Based on this, and of course that he spends his day with his head surrounded by his own, Joe would get even MORE use out of the word buttocks.

Ahh, so this is a shimmy.

Then I don't understand what a "reverse shimmy" is. It would appear to be time reversal invariant.

How many times has Joe suggested physical confrontation to someone an ID or evolution board?

I don't know, but I may have been among the first.  I guess it must have been about 8-9 years ago on the old OCW forum.  He was his usual self, and a few of us had put him in his place on the issues and we all know that little Joey don't like that.

He posted my full name and my home address in a post, and later wrote that he might be passing through, and that "not everyone goes to Vermont to ski".

It came up again on NAIG shortly thereafter, and I'd had enough. We only live a few hours apart, and spring break was coming up, so I told him to give me a time and a place, and I'd be there.  He was suddenly too busy to post for about a week, and on the last day of my spring break, when the thread was about to scroll off the board, he makes a post boasting an 'anytime' sort of thing, then later claimed that I had chickened out.

He later 'challeneged' Chris Seibold and Robert R., and who knows who else, and I know dates and places had been discussed for at least a couple of people - Chris showed up at the agreed to time and place, Joey didn't, but he later claimed to have been there waiting (but could not accuratley describe anything at the venu) - or was that Blipey?  Or has that happened on more than one occasion?
I stopped interacting with him shortly thereafter, but I can only imagine how many times he's done this.

He's a classic internet bully/punk - talks tough when he knows there is little chance of actual confrontation, shows himself to be a big talking pussy when his bluff is called.

As an aside - he did also write of having had back surgery and to have re-injured himself in Iraq (I guess digging latrines is hard work).  Just mentioning a choice target and an obvious handicap, just in case... :p

Joe is a wanna-be bully. Like the tiny dog that yaps and yaps, the advert oversells the reality. As he's recently retired, I suspect that telling you to 'get of his lawn' is as testy as it gets.

Yes, I let that one go. (For one thing, I have added too much baking soda to a cake. If you’ve made it for a cakewalk at the neighborhood organization’s picnic and the moochers show up for free food, believe me they’ll eat it and like it.) I just notice that he's UPPING the 5-bit ANTE whenever HE FEELS LIKE IT. ;)
