Lanny is Absurd
Olga: You went
ahead and asked Lanny Howe seven questions, - leading questions. What kind of answers did you expect to get in
return?
It’s like asking Hitler’s mother: “What is your opinion of Adolph Hitler?” You would expect the answer, without any
doubt, to be “He was the greatest leader Germany has ever had.”
Well then you might ask “Why do you say that?” And, she might spill out some hour-long monologue
of Hitler’s greatness, all of which may well be purposefully deceptive. This answer could be because Hitler robbed
ten Jewish women of their jewelry and gave it to his mother for Halloween.
Even if the statements Lanny makes are absurd, -- he will
make them and he’ll even elaborate making an incorrect statement a downright
ill-conceived fabrication, or in plain old English, a friggin lie.
Lanny will pass up three buckets of giant steamers to be
able to push everybody aside and rush up to Israel, bow, bend down on one knee
and kiss his ring finger for three straight minutes. Lanny is so ill-informed that he can’t
understand all of the destruction Israel has done to this Village. Just reading what he has to say in defense of
Israel is funny, -- like really funny, because it’s like Hitler saying in
writing that he’s not anti-Semitic.
If you were to show Lanny SCANDALS, Part 1, 7, 7A and 7B,-- he’s probably going to come back with a full page dissertation that he
cannot comment on matters that are “could-be,” “might be,” “possibly-be,” or
“unproven.”
Lanny is an intelligent man, in my considered opinion,
but he argues everything for the sake of letting loose a whole bunch of
gibberish, not for the sake of winning the arguments he creates, but rather, --
to create theatrical expressions to convince you of his ultimate
knowledge. And, in fact, his knowledge
of CV happenings and the man he worships is limited, extremely limited.
You opened the door, Olga, for Lanny to expound on
subject matter that he cannot just bring up on this Blog, because he would be
considered a Cue-ball/Black-ball proponent.
If we are not permitted to put anything on Israel’s super-secret,
private BLAB, -- I mean BLOG, -- then why give Lanny space for Israel
answer-advertisements?
So his asinine thinking can be refuted - Gary
Why not just ask Lanny, -- if Israel took your money out
of your pocket on several occasions without you knowing it, and used it for
illicit purposes, would you still get down on one knee and kiss his ring finger,
and hug the dorsal side of his anatomy?
If you say “yes” to that, then I simply must retract my statement that
you’re an intelligent man.

ReplyDeleteIf Dave Israel were to do the things to me you mention at the end of your diatribe (I mean missive), I'm not sure what I would do. If he were to steal my three buckets of steamers you refer to earlier, though, that would probably be "it" for me.
Lanny
Lanny,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you answered my questions. The way you answered them showed me you are clearly biased toward David Israel. You are unable to see the truth even when it's put in front of you. . A great deal has been written about David's wrong-doings on this blog yet you refuse to acknowledge nor investigate same. You admit you do not attend meetings yet you have positive opinions about many of David's mistakes. This is a serious flaw on your part and is evidence that no matter what proof or facts are put in front of you , you will always trust David without question. You said he saved us $500.000 on the roads when M&M paving did not have to return twice. We took the time to verify that figure and discovered it was seriously inflated - in other words, a BOLD LIE. When you read on this blog about the engineer report stating that the swales needed to be done immediately but the road could wait 2-3 years, you said nothing. You also said nothing about David signing a one page contract to do a five million dollars job. Nor did you say anything about the fact that there was only three million dollars in the roadway reserve fund yet David pushed ahead to spend five million.
I will let you opine on these facts for awhile
I didn't say Dave saved us $500,000.
DeleteLanny,
ReplyDeleteYou said David saved us money by having the roads done right away. You did not say how much he saved - David said it at the delegate meeting when he said it would save the residents $500.000 if we did the roads NOW. In the future, if you make a statement that he saved us money, you should elaborate on it. Give us the figures like we do on this blog.
You said he saved us money by stopping the idling of the busses. This was not his brainstorm; the residents complained about this loud and clear and he was forced to do something about it.
You said he saved us money with Comcast. For your information, that agreement took away HBO and Comcast wanted $5.00 per month to get it back at the time.
How can you say that under David's administration investigation has done a better job when under his administration we now have criminals and sex offenders living in the village.
David Israel has nothing to do with property values. Don't you remember the famous words "It's the economy stupid".
Lastly, you ask, if we are unhappy with the road paving. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!!!
I am getting weary of this. By what directive on high must I give actual amounts? Some residents may have complained about the buses idling and wasting fuel, but residents also complained (and a good deal more vociferously, as I recall) about riders not having a/c while they waited in the buses. Dave was the principal person, as UCO president, to push through the change, which you seem to agree was a good one. Yes, we lost WHAT WAS LEFT of the HBO channels (two with the likelihood of anytime losing one or both of them), but we gained a great deal more in my opinion. Good grief, we have had criminals and sex offenders living here for ages. What--shall we blame Dave for everything that's not perfect?! Let's see, it rained today and I wanted to play tennis. Dave must have caused that.
ReplyDeleteAnd one more thing: I didn't ask if you were unhappy with the road paving. Everyone knows you have been unhappy with it.
ReplyDeleteTo Lanny, sir, - you seem to be unhappy with a lot of things and you make these outlandish statements to support long dissertations. I don't understand your extreme reluctance to read what someone else has to say. Bend a little; take off your blinders.
ReplyDeleteYou want to address the roadways? Take a few moments and read SCANDALS, parts 1, 7, 7A & 7B, - and you tell me a single statement that is not factual. ANYTHING......state anything at all that you believe is not truthful.
And then, we'll go on to the next subject. Just don't get all "steamed" up. EDUARDO
Eduardo: I'm not unhappy. I'm ecstatic. The Red Sox have just won the World Series. Are you a Red Sox fan, too? I hope so. About 20 years ago, I had a friend from Kentucky visit. I drove him all around Boston and Cambridge seeing the sights, but do you know what he wanted to see most of all? Fenway Park. It wasn't major league baseball season, but we drove by Fenway and were allowed in. That's all he wanted to see: the Fenway Park playing field and the Green Monster (left field wall). So I am celebrating tonight, Eduardo. Best regards. Lanny.
ReplyDeleteLanny Howe: I've been a Red Sox fan ever since I learned how to spell "red," - my favorite color, and learned that I needed to put my "sox" on before my shoes.
DeleteI used to listen to the ticker-tape on my Zenith radio deliver the action during a game, - and to Bump Hadley and Kurt Gowdy. I had all the baseball cards. The neighborhood bully 8 years my senior hit on me one day and stole them. The tin badge squad, also known as "flat foots," caught up with him, but the kid sold my cards to several other kids for three cents each.
Hooray for Fenway! - talk about that park, - I took my wife there this year for a two hour guided tour of the park ( among other things, of course), and she absolutely loved it. It was the highlight of our trip, she said. It was one of the Boston Trolley Tour stops.
I was there at Fenway about 20 rows back of first base and watched Ted Williams hit his very last home run. It was a mile high and I missed some of it because I was under the main roof.
I asked the tour guide, who looked to be about 90 years old (and I was only jiggling his chain), what the two bare ground circles about 5 feet in diameter were on either side of home plate. He said that he didn't know. I offered that they were former "batters' boxes," and this is where they used to put them so close to home plate in the earliest days of ballpark design. He took a liking to me and showed us around the museum and explained various photos.
My wife is a staunch Yankee fan, in that she grew up in Brooklyn. Oh no, - she got a batter-board made.
All good wishes, EDUARDO
Aha, then you must remember the famous Boudreau shift the Cleveland Indians used against Ted Williams when the Indians' had a playing-manager, their shortstop, Lou Boudreau. The left-handed Williams (sportswriters called him the Splendid Splinter because he was thin as a rail when he played) stubbornly refused to hit to left (to the Wall), so the Indians left a big portion open there. He simply lofted home runs into the right field stands, which were about 380 feet from home plate. I saw him hit two in a game once against the Philadelphia A's. Williams had terrific eyesight and was great because he not only hit the long ball, but he had a high batting average as well.
DeleteThat's funny about the two circles. Are they the on-deck circles you mean? Now don't put ME on!
It's fine if your wife is a Yankee fan. I liked the Yankees too (still do), and for that matter the Brooklyn Dodgers and the old NY Giants. They were great teams in a great era. I just saw the movie about Jackie Robinson at the Clubhouse tonight. It was excellent.
Great recounting this stuff!
Lanny
Oooops!, yeah, I meant the "on-deck" circles. It's that cheap wine, - forgive me.
DeleteThe on-deck circles are still there from the original design and they're only about 8 feet from the plate on either side. I would guess that too many next at bat players in the circles were getting hit by foul balls or interfering in some way with play, so they're just there to collect spit.
I remember skipping school one time and going to a game, and I sat in the center field bleachers, and I ate 4 Fenway franks during the game........all around. I was too young to buy a beer. I was going for a fifth, but my mother always had franks and beans that day of the week for supper.
That day, if my memory serves me, was when the Sox beat the St. Louis Browns by a score of 26 to 3.
Oh, to be young again. Joe & Nemo hot dogs, large belly fried clams,
giant fried onion rings, huge steamers and a Pickwick Ale. I'd be happy as a kissed pig.
If Century Village had a restaurant that served all those goodies, you know, Lanny, everyone might just learn to be nice to one another. Of course, they'd steal the napkins, the sweet & low and the salt shakers, not to mention getting 5 soda refills, but that's all part of doing business.
All the best. EDUARDO
