NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT!!! RHUBARB!!! 18 Years, 2 Months ago

Now that was a great thread. Both benches were cleared on that pitch. Too bad the plug got pulled on it. I sure would have liked to see Randy's perspective.
The old board was a great place. We had Skirt and his sarcasm, Hodad and the flying monkeys, and a lot of s#!+ thrown back and forth at each other, but always in good humor and at the end of he day you always knew you were among friends.
The old board had two types of folks. The outspoken ones who readily stepped up and took on what needed to be done in order to make things go, and the quiet ones who would get involved only after someone else had already opened the door so to speak.
Too many of the quieter types took personal offense to the s#!+ being thrown around and asked for a quiter forum where no one offended anyone and trolling would be eliminated. That's cuz they're of the democratic, liberalish, touchy-feely and don't hurt other's feelings bunch....you know, like Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedy, etc, types....... They got what they wanted and ran all of the life out of that place. You know, the ones that never did jack s#!+ for our community other than bitch about it.
They also ran off all the folks that were always the first to step out and do things, because all of those trips, mini bashes, bashes, barbecues, and get togethers were about having FUN plain and simple. They didn't happen magically.
I've gone to great depths to keep this from being transparent and egotistical so that I wouldn't confuse and offend that thertain thumbody.
I miss the old forum.

A few things you need to know about me:
I has been known to cure narcolepsy, just by walking into the room. My organ donation card, also lists my beard. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I'm also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas. When it is raining, it is because I'm sad. Even my parents’ advice is insightful. If there were an interesting gland, mine would be larger than most men’s entire lower intestines. My shirts never wrinkle. I am left-handed. And right-handed. Even if I forget to put postage on my mail, it gets there. I once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn’t admit it. You can see my charisma from space. The police often question me, just because they find me interesting. I once punched a magician. That’s right. You heard me. When I order a salad, I get the dressing right there on top of the salad, where it belongs…where there is no turning back. If a monument was built in my honor, Mt. Rushmore would close, due to poor attendance. My beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body. My blood smells like cologne. On every continent in the world, there is a sandwich named after me. I don't believe in using oven mitts, nor potholders. My cereal never gets soggy. It sits there, staying crispy, just for me. My pillow talk is years ahead of it’s time. Respected archaeologists fight over my discarded apple cores. I have always been known to rock the casba. Birds have never defecated on my car. I never rock climb with ropes, I feel they are for pussies. I once buried a time capsule full of things that haven’t happened yet. I have been pronounced dead 7 times…make that 8. My bear hugs are actually hugs I give to bears. I can’t be bought, but my beard clippings have been know to show up on ebay. I have never lost a sock. If I disagree with you, it is because you are wrong. My reputation expands faster than the universe. I once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like. I live vicariously through myself. Happy Hour is the hour after everyone from happy hour has left. I sleep with a night light, not because I'm afraid of the dark but the dark is afraid of me. I hold a doctorate in originality in which I teach at Harvard where no one ever passes. When I go skydiving Peregrine Falcons always trail behind me. The President of a country once took a bullet for me on a failed attempt. When I look in the mirror there's never a reflection because I am only 1 of a kind. I can defeat anyone in a game of chess without making any moves. It is rumored that James Bond movies are my real life biography. I once gave an autograph in sign language. I didn’t just taste fear… I ordered seconds of it. Restaurants offer me my usual table, even if I've never been there. Stray dogs obey my commands. The Spanish Civil War was started by two women fighting over me. Waiters Tip me. After hearing me play guitar, Hendrix decided life was not worth living. In Pamplona, the bulls run with me. I traveled to the edge of the world…and proved the world was flat. I once fought myself…and won. I took the McChicken off the dollar menu. It has been said that I beat 2 pac and biggie in a rap battle…thats why they killed each other. My tan never goes away. I painted my house with my beard. After seeing me dance…Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest. I blow a .000…after putting down a case. I went skinny dipping…with my clothes on. Hookers ask me how much? I am so elusive, I can escape anything, even black holes. When a camera points at me, it never goes out of focus. I can strangle you with a cordless phone. I went to Mars, and that is why there is no life there. When I do a pushup, I'm not lifting myself up, I'm pushing the Earth down. I don't read books, I stare them down until they give me the information I need. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures I allow to live. It takes me 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes. I am The Most Interesting Man In The World.

The plug wasn't pulled on that thread by any moderator. I think the same bug that occured when you posted the ultimate flame a couple months back happened again with Randy's perspective post. If I remember right, when you posted the ultimate flame, it screwed up the whole thread for replying--too many carriage returns in the cut and paste. I am still trying to figure out if there is a way to fix it.

So are you saying you miss Skirt? Because Skirt WAS the old board, complete with propaganda and anti Bush. 4 years ago, he was ramping up for John Kerry and was dreading the thought of another 4 years of Bush, blaming everything from dying salmon to Global Warming on him. It created a great opportunity for someone else to create a board that leaned a little farther to the right.
For my friend Skirt...

Wow! Interesting logic in this. Quite the rhetorical train wreck. Speaking as a person that didn't care too much for the flame-fest on the old board, I can't say that I miss it much. Too many of the posts on the old board were insults and crap-flinging that got real personal. As I stated in my reply to the original DOA post, I've never met anyone from the board or been to a bash, so I wouldn't expect someone I've never met to flame me. Believe me, I can join in and joke with people that I KNOW, but to do that to someone you've never personally met or spent any time with, is out of line, in my point of view. The anonymity that modern communication offers (email, bulletin boards, etc.) often leads people to be less than civil with one another in this kind of forum. Why is that acceptable? I didn't take any of the old flames personally, as they weren't directed at me, but they sure filled up the old board with lots of crap that just wasn't worth reading.

well
seems to me thats why we have choice,if ya dont like what your watching on t.v you change the channel,its just like that here, if ya dont want to open that can of worms ,dont open the thread.
but thats what made up the old board ,and whether you like it or not ,you could have read old fishing reports.
but we are all different and thats why it worked ,cuz if we were all the same you would have only 1 thread to read.
but alas, this is 1 of those things ,should have closed the doors before the cows got out.
so in closing ,if the flames are to hot on the stove ,dont put yur fingers in.
