Eponyms that lost their Capitals...

Sandwich

The first written usage of the English word appeared in Edward Gibbon's journal, in longhand, referring to "bits of cold meat" as a "Sandwich".^[12] It was named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although he was neither the inventor nor sustainer of the food. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others began to order "the same as Sandwich!"^[6][7] It is said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards, particularly cribbage, while eating without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.^[6]

The rumour in its familiar form appeared in Pierre-Jean Grosley's Londres (Neichatel, 1770), translated as A Tour to London 1772;^[13] Grosley's impressions had been formed during a year in London in 1765. The sober alternative is provided by Sandwich's biographer, N. A. M. Rodger, who suggests Sandwich's commitments to the navy, to politics and the arts mean the first sandwich was more likely to have been consumed at his desk.

Before being known as sandwiches, the food seems to simply have been known as "bread and meat" or "bread and cheese".^[6]

Beer and the Wheel in History...

For those that don't know about history ..... here is a condensed version: 

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. 

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 

1 . Liberals 
2. Conservatives. 

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum canwere invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. 

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement... 

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men.Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. 

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons. 

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers,personal injury attorneys, trust-funders, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. 

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud, Coors or Miller. They eat red meatand still provide for their women. They are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys,lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes,members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. 

Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. 

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America ... They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing for people who wouldn't work.

Here ends today's lesson in world history: 

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other Conservatives and to some Liberals just to piss them off. 

And there you have it.... Let your next action reveal your true self.....I just did and now I'm going to turn the venison on the grill.

Weegie Bassa...

A Glaswegian ventriloquist visiting Aberdeen walks into a Small village and sees a local sitting on his veranda patting his dog. 

He figures he'll have a little fun, so he says to the Aberdonian 

Hi, mind if I talk to your dog?' 

Villager: 'The dog doesn't talk, you stupid weegie bassa.' 

Ventriloquist: 'Hello dog, how's it going mate?' 

Dog: 'Yeah, doin' all right.' 

Aberdonian: (look of extreme shock) 

Ventriloquist: 'Is this villager your owner?' (pointing at the Villager) 

Dog: 'Yep' 

Ventriloquist: 'How does he treat you?' 

Dog: 'Yeah, real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food And takes me to the loch once a week to play.' 

Aberdonian: (look of utter disbelief) 

Ventriloquist: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?' 

Aberdonian: 'Uh, the horse doesn't talk either...I think.' 

Ventriloquist: 'Hey horse, how's it going?' 

Horse: 'Cool' 

Aberdonian: (absolutely dumbfounded) 

Ventriloquist: 'Is this your owner?' (Pointing at the villager) 

Horse: 'Yep' 

Ventriloquist: How does he treat you? 

Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, Brushes me down often and keeps me in the shed to protect me from the Elements.' 

Aberdonian: (total look of amazement) 

Ventriloquist: 'Mind if I talk to your sheep?' 

Aberdonian: (in a panic) 

'The sheep's a f*****' liar.... '

New American Standard Version disowned

I must under God renounce every attachment to the New American Standard Version.  I'm afraid I'm in trouble with the Lord... We laid the groundwork; I wrote the format; I helped interview some of the translators; I sat with the translator; I wrote the preface...  I'm in trouble; I can't refute these arguments; its [sic] wrong, terribly wrong; its [sic] frighteningly wrong; and what am I going to do about it.

When questions began to reach me at first I was quite offended...  I used to laugh with others...  However, in attempting to answer, I began to sense that something was not right about the New American Standard Version.  I can no longer ignore these criticisms I am hearing and I can't refute them...  The deletions are absolutely frightening... there are so many...  Are we so naive that we do not suspect Satanic deception in all of this?

Upon investigation, I wrote my very dear friend, Mr. Lockman, explaining that I was forced to renounce all attachment to the NASV  The product is grievous to my heart and helps to complicate matters in these already troublous times...  I don't want anything to do with it.  

[T]he finest leaders that we have today... haven't gone into it [the new version's use of a corrupted Greek text], just as I hadn't gone into it... that's how easily one can be deceived... I'm going to talk to him [Dr. George Sweeting, president of Moody Bible Institute] about these things. 

[Y]ou can say the Authorized Version [KJV] is absolutely correct.  How correct?  100% correct!  I believe the Spirit of God led the translators of the Authorized Version.  If you must stand against everyone else, stand...

Dr. Frank Losdon, Co-founder NASB, quoted in G.A. Riplinger, New Age Bible Versions, 1993.

Simplicity

"The creaturely mind seeks refuge in simplicity.  Marxism is a prime instance:  man is the spawn of the economic system, so all that is needed is a changed system, and presto, heaven on earth!"

--George Arthur Buttrick. "The Study of the Bible,"  1 The Interpreter's Bible.  New York: Abington=Cokesbury Press, 1952.  167.
