OldGreyEagle 5 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 "apalling lack of dinosaurs" Obviously you haven't been to an exectuve board meeting in awhile, leastwise not where I live Link to post Share on other sites
johndaigler 10 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 LOL jd BTW, seeing "appalling" in quotes looks much more dramatic than I intended it Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 If dinosaurs are (were) made out of composites it may be covered in the newest (2006) MB to be introduced by the BSA. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 You know, I visited that exhibit at the Jamboree and, with due respect to the individuals involved, I just didn't get it. It seemed like a pretty narrow and estoteric field of interest to warrant an entire merit badge. But, that's just me. I suppose an aerospace engineer wouldn't see the point in a paleontology meit badge! Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Delighted to assist with this demonstration of 'thread evolution', I think a paleontology MB could be lumped in with the existing Archeology MB. Pretty much the same thing...only on a different time scale. And continuing on the digression, speaking of narrow and esoteric consider that there is Collecting, and then there are also Coin Collecting AND Stamp Collecting. I have been collecting samples of brain tissue - think that would qualify? My daughter collects skulls. Anyone want to contribute? Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Always thought Dog Care and Pet Care were pretty close, Packsaddle, I collect brains as well, my assistant came back with my latest addition, its from Abby Normal, I'd send you a slice, but I have plans for it. Now, I could send you some tissue from a bottle labeled A. Uumellmahaye I found (This message has been edited by OldGreyEagle) Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 OGE, that comment about the executive committee was great but the last reference...I nearly fell out of my chair. Nice to see the old sense of humor return. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 pack, Does your daughter trade? I have an extra armadillo and I'm looking for a 3-toed sloth But I take great issue with your comment about paleontology and archeology being the same thing. I already have enough people asking me if I dig up dinosaurs. It's true that the time scale is vastly different (cartoon cavemen notwithstanding) but so is the subject. In fact, just about the only thing that is similar is the fact that we labor in the hot sun and dig up old stuff (that and the fact that we're all ruggedly handsome and wear dashing clothing) ...

stlscouter 10 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 wasn't there a banned skit about $15,000 for a pound of SM brains(you may substitute Christian, Gay, Lawyer, Accordioan Player, Tuba Player, Bagpipe Player, atheist etc)because it took so many SM's (ETC) to make a pound? Indiana Jones was a palentoligist etc and was a Boy Scout.... Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Stlscouter says: Indiana Jones was a palentoligist etc and was a Boy Scout.... I am pretty sure Indiana Jones was an archaeologist (however it is you spell that.) But he was a Boy Scout, I am pretty sure he was shown with a Life badge on his uniform.

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 stlscouter, the reason why the (insert favorite term here)brain is so expensive is because they havent been used. Link to post Share on other sites
stlscouter 10 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 or could it be an Oz thing? Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Just pulling your chain, Trevorum, sorry. You also left out the part where they both have beautiful women chasing them. Arr, Arr, Arr! But do you really think a 'dillo is an even trade for a sloth? It'd be more like a 'dillo for a fox or maybe an opossum, I would think. Link to post Share on other sites
