<< Best Horntrash post I've seen to date. Thanks for all your hard work. It
must take you twice as long as the rest of us to write your messages. >>
Now, I am having the greatestest of gratefulls for your appreciations as
there are some who lurk in the backgrounds of the cybernets who have angers
and
dislikings of me and mein and others on this formidablestest of forums and
this is really quite the miniscules of nothingnesses for me to write my
schtuff
and please have the rememberings that the internet (and especially the horn
list) is a vast undertaking and most people who make the writings to our list
are pushed for time so, then, what they write is only half vast when
comparisons are made to mein but actually I spend less time than you because I
make
all of my writings in cut time.
<< BTW: proper German, including word, order would be:
Herr Doktor Professor I. B . MitSchiesseVerstopft >>
Now, I resemble this remark but it is the mostestest of obviousesses that
you do not have any understandings of the true meanings of my name and if you
had had the havings of any trainings in gymnasium or even school of Forensical
Geneologicals, you would understand that my name is far from proper though it
is somewhat German and so it is the mostestest of simples, as my first
ancestor was born at a very early age, long, long ago when the world had less
people and they took only one name, usually from what was all around them, or
what they did, or something easy to remember or whatever so if someone was
born
in the forest, they might take the name Baum or if in England, Tree, or if
near the stream, Bach or Brooks, or if on a moonless night, Schwarz or Black,
so you see, for my ancestor is was no problem to assume the name Scheist due
to birth place and then what happened is that later, by marriage, the preface
"mit" was added meaning "with" since there were two and then, when they
finally decided to consumate their marriage, my ancestral grand mother kept
yelling "Gestopft, GESTOPFT" (which you also see in the works of Gustav
Mahler,
especially in the horn parts) and so that got added as it is the mostestest of
cherisheded of traditions in my homeland to keeping adding stuff up until you
get it right but, you are correct in that I am a man, but you are having the
mostestest of errorifications in stating the later as I am not a Doctor, nor
do I play one on TV and, I am not I. B. but I. M. which stands for Ignaz
Manfred and I have no idea how I got those names as my Mother, Helga
Schwarzherzschlutt Gestopftmitscheist was very, VERY, friendly with the many
touring
horn virtuosi who came to her house in my hometown of
Bad Lippstadt, to save their meager per diem on tour so I think my name
should have been Franz Oscar or Oscar Franz or maybe Georg Kopprasch or Henri
Kling or Friedrich Gumpert Gestopftmitscheist.
<< One of my grandfathers grew up in northern Pennsylvania, where there
were a lot of Ahmisch "Pennsylvania Dutch", and always got a kick out of
German word order. His favorite example was "Hey Heinrich, throw the cow
over the fence some hay!">>
Now, I do have some familiarities with Penn's Woods as when I lived all
those years in Exit 2, New Jersey I was nearby and went to Philadelphia now
and
then for hockey games and cheesesteaks and the Exit 2 diner actually had some
Amish food on the menu and I always enjoyed the scrapple, pretzels, and "Shoe
Fly Cow Pie" which if you ate too much, would put you "over the fence" and
once I dated an Amish girl and she was very nice but she drove me buggy after
a while so we broke up.
