    Funny email from a ROTH supporter I got today

    I got this in my inbox today

    ORIGINALLY SENT TO SARGE IN AN EMAIL
    email below


    you want my opinion on sammy gayboy hagar hes not big enough
    to fit roths sensible shoeshe sammy was on classic rock magazine back a couple
    of months ago stirring shite saying that roths hair is coming out! and he puts a
    net thing on his head i personaly
    think all of us in this website should put cash together and get a
    couple of skinheads to make a picknick out of hagars face im only 16 i went to
    see roth on his tour in february in glasgow
    even though im not im not a member yet that is im willing to pay more than $100
    to get guys to jump him but the reason i think we should pay more is so it is
    done properely and he is putting
    poor dave through so much hassle"!
    thank you for your time

    And I thought the 17 year old stinking up the Front Line was mentally deficient.

    Yo Sesh! What's up with the schools in Scotland??

    Thumbs down Nevermind

    What the fuck??? The last thing Davy Baby would want associated with him (fanwise or otherwise) is a gosh damn skinhead! That lost individual needs to read Dave's book to get an idea of how he feels about that dumb shit.


    I'm no Spammy fan, either, but having him assaulted is way too extreme.

    I think we should lock him in a room and make him listen to his own material. That would be a punishment for anybody. I was thinking to lure him in there we could use bacon???

    Beating Sammy up's going to far. At least he's got Ed and the boys of their asses. Now all we have to do is wait for them to hear him sing, realise what they've done and get Roth back. I wish.........

    Sarge, as harmless as assumed the verbal bantor is around here... IMO it is getting too common place to be referring to assault, murder, etc... round here. I know I can ignor or leave, but I do enjoy the bulk of what goes down here.

    Another consideration is there are legal aspects to this type of behavior... given my work I'm very familiar with the federal law (18 U.S.C. Section 875) on this. Given global security measures these days the internet and Bboards such as this are being looked at by a miriad of law enforcement entities. Some discouragement may be advisable...

    Chapter 41 covers this in the federal code...

    Section 875. Interstate communications

    (a) Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any
    communication containing any demand or request for a ransom or
    reward for the release of any kidnapped person, shall be fined
    under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
    (b) Whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm,
    association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value,
    transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication
    containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure
    the person of another, shall be fined under this title or
    imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
    (c) Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any
    communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any
    threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this
    title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

    (d) Whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm,
    association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value,
    transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication
    containing any threat to injure the property or reputation of the
    addressee or of another or the reputation of a deceased person or
    any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime,
    shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two
    years, or both.

    Seeing Sammy with leprosy would be one thing, but getting a bunch of mouth-breathing death metal freaks to goose-step on his skull is going over the line. If nothing else, ya gotta wait for 'ol Cactus Face to say something before you punch him in the teeth....

    Fucksticks!

    I've been taking the piss out of the US education system for years on these boards and one fucker blows it in a single email...


    I'm clinging to the fact that we don't know how far he travelled to go to that gig...

    Spammy never has and never will travel to Scotland so I wouldn't worry too much about him.

    Van Hagar will never tour Europe again.

    I'm with Switch84. Dave's Jewish. Sammy's not. Sending a skinhead to mess up Hagar would probably backfire. Besides, who was this guy going to notify, Mr Badguy?

    >>by a miriad of law<<

    There's no such thing as "a miriad of", and by the
    by, it's "myriad". I think it's funny when people
    try to sound all important and then they f**k it
    up by not being able to spell. So much for the
    education system, indeed.

    Not that I'm a Fat Sandalled Poodle fan, mind you,
    but I just think it's hilarious when people try to pull
    the "I'm an important person" card and can't even
    f**kin' put a sentence together correctly.

    In case you give a sh**, the proper use of the word
    "myriad" would include a statement such as:

    "There are myriad reasons why Samuel Hagar sucks.
    His fatness is one. His poodlehead is another. Lastly,
    his screeching caterwaul of a so-called singing voice
    is an insult to all things musical."

    Myriad reasons. Myriad laws. Myriad puppies. No
    such thing as "a myriad of".

    So uh, 'might wanna brush up on the English grammar,
    Oh-So-Important-FBI-Connected-One. And you ought
    to be doubly ashamed, 'cause I'm a f**kin' MATH MAJOR.

    Also, I'm amused that a person telling people
    not to joke about wanting to assault a fat rock star
    because the EFF BEE EYE might give a sh** quotes
    the song popularized by the Sopranos in his/her
    sig. line. Irony! I SURE AS F*** HOPE THE EFF
    BEE EYE has BETTER THINGS TO DO than give a
    flying f**k if somebody claims to want to assault
    a washed-up wanna-be rock singer.

    I wanna kill f*ckface Kerry. I wanna kill that
    b*tch who cut me off in traffic today. I wanna kill
    Kylie Minogue. I wanna kill BILL! Turn me in!
    Alert the presses! Call the suits!!! Oh no!
    PEOPLE WANT TO KILL! FASTER PUSSYCAT!
    KILL! KILL! KILL!

    Dude, the kid's:

    a minor
    lives in Scotland
    the Federal code cited is US law.

    If the guy wanted Sammy's head on a stick, floating above a burning pool of petrol till the fat melts from his flesh and he makes candles of it, sells em on ebay and actually gets his 100 quid back, who's to argue with that?

    Now if some Hasidic bodybuilders from over near Fairfax district wanna come down and offer Sam the PoundCRAP©™ I would think that would be a Kosher beating, as apposed to some Goyim Sex Pistols meshugganafuckhead whipping out his ghey Doc Martens on his ass.. is a Non-Kosher Beating any worse off than if some dudes who specialize in the reading of Moses' Law tear him apart? I'm not willing to let this go to chance - if we can get those who can define a more moral guideline from the Torah on how best to approach this, if we're talking law here, then a righteous beating it shall be.

    (I'm just looking for added value here, cuz 100 bux is a 100 bux)

    No shit, ZahZoo! Nevermind being appalled at wanton violence; let's have a shit fit over a misspelled word!

    In this post 9/11 world, we're ALL being paid attention to a little more closely, Americans or not. Big Brother is still watching.

    I know Sesh... I'm sure you've got a better handle on the Queen's English than us Colonists over here. I was making a point in my case not a case in my point... One is making a minor point in a bigger thing... the other is making a mountain out of mole hill... Y'all got moles in Scotland? It was probably a vital component in inventing golf... I figure!!

    Torah says let Sammy be. Any offenses that he has committed WILL come back to him, witness or not (I.E. What comes around, goes around). But being a 'messenger' for what will 'come around' to Sammy, won't do anyone any good.

    BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
    Agreed Switch,
    More than likely it's just an empty threat by some snot nosed punk who's looking for attention, but nowadays NO threat can really be taken lightly - especially in light of what happened on 9/11/01.

    The government was warned of an imminent attack and took the threat lightly - and the rest is history.

    It's one thing to bash Spammy and make fun of him - it's quite another when threats of physical violence are mentioned. It's illegal and could get Sarge in a shitload of trouble should something happen and it turns out he failed to report it to the proper authorities.

    There's no such thing as "a miriad of", and by the

    up by not being able to spell. So much for the
    education system, indeed.

    Not that I'm a Fat Sandalled Poodle fan, mind you,
    but I just think it's hilarious when people try to pull
    the "I'm an important person" card and can't even
    f**kin' put a sentence together correctly.

    In case you give a sh**, the proper use of the word
    "myriad" would include a statement such as:

    "There are myriad reasons why Samuel Hagar sucks.
    His fatness is one. His poodlehead is another. Lastly,
    his screeching caterwaul of a so-called singing voice
    is an insult to all things musical."

    Myriad reasons. Myriad laws. Myriad puppies. No
    such thing as "a myriad of".

    So uh, 'might wanna brush up on the English grammar,
    Oh-So-Important-FBI-Connected-One. And you ought
    to be doubly ashamed, 'cause I'm a f**kin' MATH MAJOR.

    Also, I'm amused that a person telling people
    not to joke about wanting to assault a fat rock star
    because the EFF BEE EYE might give a sh** quotes
    the song popularized by the Sopranos in his/her
    sig. line. Irony! I SURE AS F*** HOPE THE EFF
    BEE EYE has BETTER THINGS TO DO than give a
    flying f**k if somebody claims to want to assault
    a washed-up wanna-be rock singer.

    I wanna kill f*ckface Kerry. I wanna kill that
    b*tch who cut me off in traffic today. I wanna kill
    Kylie Minogue. I wanna kill BILL! Turn me in!
    Alert the presses! Call the suits!!! Oh no!
    PEOPLE WANT TO KILL! FASTER PUSSYCAT!
    KILL! KILL! KILL!

    Gentlemen,

    Grammar, syntax, and usage are all much more fluid and less rigid than generally believed. So it comes as no small surprise that our resident logician, our illustrious "MATH MAJOR" would fall victim to a bit of myopic demagoguery. On the contrary, S.A.W., it is perfectly acceptable to use "myriad" as a noun. As the quote I include below states, with some irony, the aforementioned usage is actually predominant in mathematics both in modern English and ancient Greek.

    "Usage Note: Throughout most of its history in English myriad was used as a noun, as in a myriad of men. In the 19th century it began to be used in poetry as an adjective, as in myriad men. Both usages in English are acceptable, as in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's “Myriad myriads of lives.” This poetic, adjectival use became so well entrenched generally that many people came to consider it as the only correct use. In fact, both uses in English are parallel with those of the original ancient Greek. The Greek word mrias, from which myriad derives, could be used as either a noun or an adjective, but the noun mrias was used in general prose and in mathematics while the adjective mrias was used only in poetry."

    And in a final disclaimer, I swear that I was in no way coming to the defense of Spammy Fatgar... Rock on Nation of Roth!!!

    Damn, and I thought my plan to throw blocks of velvetta at Spammy was a little extreme.

    Myriad can be either a noun or adjective.

    On the plus side, you are 100% correct about the spelling and did start at raising a damn good point
