No no...don't gimme crap. I know Uncle Sam isn't Sam Hobbs. Uncle Sam must be some president in the old ages in America, while our Sam Hobbs is a programmer in CA, USA. :):):)

Just who is Uncle Sam? This figure always appear in newspaper and articles and is always shown with white hair, a tall hat(with US-flag designs) and a suit with US-flag designs too.(the stars, the reds, the whites, the stripes and the blues)

He doesn't resemble Lincoln(Lincoln has dark brown/black hair etc.) and he doesn't resemble George Washington too.(G. Washington has curly-like hair)
And I know he's not the notorious and infamous modern President of War : George War Bush.

Just who is Uncle Sam? Brad L. Jones?! Err no no...sorry. :D:D:D:D

Well the key is that Uncle Sam's initials are US. He is a fictional character who symbolizes the US government(Big Brother?). Sort of like John Bull for England. Supposedly there was some guy long ago who was used as the prototype for uncle sam but on the whole it is just a slangy way of referring to the US government.

They could have as easily used Elvis.

A dubious explanation of the origin of Uncle Sam:

Let's consider the following hypothetical situation:

From CBasic.net:

Chinese style Chicken chop eh?

Nah, CBasicNet! There's many ways to cook chicken chop. When I say cooking chicken chop in a wok, I actually mean chicken cutlet : the fried/crispy version of chicken chop.

If you use a wok, u pour lottsa oil into it and put the chicken meat inside the wok and use a ladle to flip it here and there, there and here, and let it get cooked/fried by the boiling fire. Then, when you're done, you add french fries(big wavy ones) and beans as well. Chicken cutlet goes very well with certain sauces, such as potatoe goo and pepper as well.

As for chicken chop, the best ingredients to use as a perfect flavouring is onions.(to make the sauce)
Even a poorly cooked chicken chop tastes 1000 times more perfect if you add in the best sauce.

If Brad allows, I'll write a full article all about chicken chop, including it's history, it's origins, the dimensions and attributes of the average chicken chop, how to order chicken chops, what to say to vendors, the pricing and licencning of chicken chop, the major chicken chop outlets around the world, what kinda sauce to use, the DOs and DONT's, the pros and cons, some chicken chop facts and health tips, as well as hints on how to eat it(hand angle, head position and how wide you gotta open your mouth while eating it) and the time best taken to eat chicken chop, and last but not least, what kinda soup and side-dishes goes best with chicken chop and chicken cutlet.
This article shall be posted in the Other Controls sub-section of the Codeguru main page.
I'll also be please to supply pictures and links in the article itself so that you folks can learn more about chicken chop. And maybe a forum in Codeguru to discuss chicken chop would be very nice too! :D:)

Haven't you heard about Terror Himself....President Robert Mugabe who kills all white farmers and people??!!!!:eek::eek:
Get outta there now and seek the shelter of female lionesses!!!! NOW!!!!:o:cool:

From Gabriel:

Welcome back, buddy! Yes, Xeon is no longer Elite. He is a "fallen angel" as his signature sais. He fell on his nose...


Argh! I do wish Brad can gimme a more creative and nicer name, rather than a silly _.
That's really ugly and it tarnishes my avatar and reputation! Even a ! or @ is nicer than _!!!:D

From Tom:

Looking make at one of Xeon's posts, I made a horrifying discovery. Xeon is actually Dan Quayle!!!!
Who else would spell potato as potatoe?????
This could be the end of civilization as we know it.

But I thought potatoe is spelled as potatoe??!!! I remember there was an 'e'!!! Maybe there's none! :D
How ironic!!!:D

There is only one in plural: tomatoes. Dan Quayle is another example of a moron in charge of the US. Such things are very unfortunate. Clinton however was said to be quite smart, and I once read James Garfield (http://members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/garfield.htm) wrote his own proof for Pythagoras' theorem. I remember that name because of the cat (you know, the comic book character Garfield).

I am not sure how other people explain but for me, he is a kinda weirdo riding on a flying red horse from this place to another goofing at what people posted and then try to make up himself a goofy clown, come on the stage making others laugh. It is really akinda bullsheess.

From _ to member. Xeon has still a very special status, although probably noone pays attention to it. He is the only one with the status member, while all others are Member or Member +. This still implies Xeon is kind of a special member, an elite member some would say, then again, a slightly luny and weirdo member some others would say. :D:p:p

Is Gabriel is living with a newly wedded husband? Who is the newly wedded husband married to?

OR

The 2 kids are divorced but are living with a newly wedded husband?

OR

Is Gabriel the newly wedded husband living with two kids?

According to my WFranc decoder, she is intended to insult you, the divorce stuff is supposed to be a metaphor for you and Xeon having had problems but that Xeon must set himself over that and not mention you again. That is how I interpret it.

As I am married to my wife, all that remains is my dog. :)


OR

The 2 kids are divorced but are living with a newly wedded husband?


That is a possibility. Whos kids, by the way?

Is Gabriel the newly wedded husband living with two kids?

Depends on how you define "newly" and "living with" this could be true.

Well, I think that is also part of the metaphor. People without children getting divorced have (or are supposed to have) less problems to overcome this, as no special arrangements afterwards are needed and the two partners don't have to see each other again. You and Xeon see each other regularly as you maintain moderator and Xeon member on this forum.

Although maybe this is too far fetched and maybe somebody else is smoking pot here without me knowing it. :D ;)
