Using the Way Way Back machine, I dug up this forum thread from January, 1806:

Pray, what are everyone’s opinions of this new mayor, Solomon Sibley? Any thoughts?

Sibley can waltz his hindparts back to whence he came! If ye Negroes had the vote, Elijah Brush would have been swept into office.

Sibley pledged to demolish Fort Pontchartrain without benefit of a public hearing. Tis troubling news.

Fort Pontchartrain is to be razed? Tis tragic indeed. I recall as a little girl my father taking us for rides past it. And of course, every year we’d all get dressed up and go celebrate Bastille Day at the Pontch. Of course Fort Pontchartrain was simply the only place for Detroit society to witness beheadings. I hate seeing it boarded up like that.

Fort Pontchartrain was poorly planned and would not have withstood a British attack. In my plan, it would have been located on Hog Island, and thus less susceptible to invasion. I also would not have built it with the pine lumber common to the area. Indeed I would have imported hard maple from the east.

Why should we pay taxes to support a symbol of French authority in Detroit? Detroit is now British, but the French still act like they want to run things. Tear that shyte down.

Fort Pontchartrain contributed so much to the history and culture of Detroit. We destroy a piece of ourselves when we destroy our past.

Ignoramuses! Unpleasant fellows! In 1795, the King granted us 100 pounds sterling for the demolition of Fort Pontchartrain. 11 years have passed and the Fort just sits there without public benefit. How much longer shall we let that hulking wreck simply sit there? It would cost the Township 15 pounds per year to maintain the building, with no foreseeable use. That money could be better spent shoveling manure off the streets.

I, too, wish that Fort Pontchartrain were removed. It blocks the route whence I walk from my home to the tavern. Although of late it has become a gathering place for whores. I shall miss that. Tis all about maintaining the authenticity, my friend. Maintaining the authenticity.

Did you play in the English style? English batsmen are afraid to use their feet against spinners for fear of being left stranded down the pitch and they rely heavily on the sweep shot.

If the orthodox sweep is partially premeditated, the much-maligned reverse sweep is wholly so.

Chap! Tis totally interesting to see how a batsman’s initial setup has changed over time. One of the most attacking shots in the batsman's armoury, the pull, not to be confused with the hook, is a back-foot shot played at a ball around waist height.

The first thing any batsman does when he arrives at the wicket is take his guard, or 'line himself up' across the crease so that he knows where he is standing in relation to the stumps.

Stance and backlift are everything. Opening batsmen have to face a continuous onslaught of aggressive fast bowling, often at different heights and angles. There is a good incentive for tail-enders to hang around at the crease. They're under no pressure, so any extra runs are a bonus and will be received enthusiastically.

The downtown development is really taking off. People are rebuilding homes and businesses at an incredible rate, and the new park designed by Judge Woodward will be a great addition to all of the other projects happening downtown.

Development-atcha!

The new Grand Circus Park is very poorly planned. Judge Woodward should have thought out the impact this new park will have on traffic. Because of this new park, Madison, Washington, Macomb, and Miami will not run through to Woodward. This will add 25 seconds to my commute, because I will have to go around this new park in order to reach Woodward. I'm sure Grand Circus Park could have been designed to let these streets go through to Woodward.

Kathleen nailed it. I seem to do my weirdest work when I'm home sick.

BTW, I had to do more online sports-related reading than I've ever done before in my life. (At least 15 minutes.) Who would have guessed that cricket talk could be just as boring as baseball talk?

I have heard speak of him referring to his self as a minor Roman Emperor!
But be wary, talk is about plans to create the Lawn and Tool shed capitol of the world in our fair city. Surly this could be allowed on the ten-thousand acre tract and persons pay a fare on trolleys to enter our city.
Surely this man must in consort of the moon, he speaks of Indians with wings. He wishes to construct a temple to the Greek gods of Olympus for them to worship at.
Our fair, but wart’d, governess and duly elected mayor must put a stop to this. His last endeavor to build a coliseum for exotic beasts to amuse the populous with sticks and spheres remains empty most times.

What's that I heareth? Itsjeff is bedridden with a malady? It is probably that vaporous melancholy that is so common to the unhealthy swamps near the river. I willst hasten to get the barber Jean-Pierre to dispatch to your residence and give you a good blood-letting. And for good measure, he shall bring along a few large leeches to bring your health back into balance.

Je suis sur que vous comprendrez qu'a force d'ecrire de telles conneries, je me fatigue, et je mets donc un terme a ce message.
En attendant d'echanger quelques mots autour d'un verre de Ricard, je vous souhaite une tres bonne soiree.

Monsieur PSIP, permettez-moi de recommander to stay away de Bablefish pour traduire mes messages, vous l'avez complètement ruiné. Je ne suis PAS une femme rubenesque, en faite je suis très délicate.

Monsier La Fin du Nord, je suis enchantée de faire votre connaissance. Je n'avais aucune idée qu'il y a d'autres personnes cultivées dans la noble langue des philosophes et poètes, la langue française - mais qu'est-ce que vous expectez de ces barbares américains? J'apprécie vos efforts envers une prompte amélioration de conduit de ces barbares américains sur ce site, il est grand temps! Mais je préferre un verre de Bordeaux soite un château Pétrus?

VIVE LA FRANCE

Fine, I'll give you credit for your own high-school level French skills ... :-)

Oh mon dieux, ça s'entend si terriblement vulgaire, comme les barbares américains. Je suis genée, je suis corruptée par les barbares.

If you were waiting for Blondy, you might want to pack a lunch or something.

Classic! I just now caught this thread, I love it! I must say, I am a little flattered at being included in the spoof. I have mostly disappeared around here lately (full time work and school will do that to a body) and was just about ready to write the forum off as boring for a few more weeks. ItsJeff, your humour never ceases to entertain me. If nothing else, at least I will be remembered for my "expert" cricket-er baseball analysis.

Hi, Marcnbyr! I miss seeing you at CdT and glad you enjoyed the thread. I hope you were as glassy-eyed at the "cricket talk" as I am when you guys do "baseball talk."

Shoot me an e-mail some time.
