Well, I'm either toast

[Tyler]

Every forum has it's own je ne sais quoi... this one's is very unique and a bit different than others. As with all forums that I have joined, I usually just stalk the place a bit, get a feel for it, watch the inmates, and try to be respectful of it and those that post here... well, and give a little **** upon occasion when needed as well... what can I say... I'm a giver.

Also, I never judge anyone from their posts until I have met them in person... I can say with 100% accuracy that everyone I have met from this site are genuinely very good people no matter what they post... even Barry.

Geez Ty! You feeling OK?

Peachy keen... B)

I refer to most of the gents here as The Silverbacks with hearts of gold... they stomp their feet and pound their chest and gnash their teeth... but if the chips are down for anyone - friend, foe, or stranger - they will be there in a heartbeat to help... I know this from personal experience and I've seen it happen with others as well.

Remember Barry...next time duck for cover like this:

No, I was not buying what Barry was not offering,

What's that Chinese symbol on Barry's shoulder?

Yeah. You probably figured that I was kidding. I suppose I should have put one of these there:

In Mandarin it means *******!

In Cantonese it means Dipshit!

 

[bluesdog]

Dim Sum

 

[HotRodZilla]

Blah, blah, blah...OMG, a new guy asked a question. Even the dumb questions get answered. Sometimes, much more sarcastically than they would like, but still answered.

Just don't be a butt-hurt baby, and no one will hold it against you. Haha...Bunch girls I say.

 

[Tyler]

Bunch girls I say.

Oh please... find a different insult, will ya?

 

[PhilJet09]

Geez, it isn't even winter yet.

 

[HotRodZilla]

You're not a girl Tyler. You're a woman. There's a difference. Haha...

 

[escapefjrtist]

Geez, it isn't even winter yet.

...at this rate, it's going to be a long one too!

Well played AJ, I told you enrolling in BeemerDonS's "Blarney and Mullarkey 101" class would pay off for you!

"If You Can't Dazzle Them With Brilliance, Then Baffle Them With ********!" Theme of our Irish Alma Mater, aye!

No, I think 'Zilla is both serious and 100% correct. He has managed to be completely truthful, pay Miss Tyler a well deserved compliment, and insult some crybabies all at the same time. No BS involved in that. Just straight up good sense and honesty.

As a noob I butted heads with the mean old Bustanut Joker. I thought he was a bully. I thought he had no respect for the new members. I thought he was just useless noise. In time I grew to admire, even respect the man. His patience for noob mistakes is short, his delivery is not politically correct, and his grammar is atrocious. But, he has the right idea. I am agreeing with him more often the longer I am here.

Except about the sheep. I am not into the sheep thing.

 

[Bearly Flying]

Redfish, I have to disagree.

Tyler kicked AJ;s ***

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Redfish, I have to disagree.
Tyler kicked AJ;s ***

Sir, I respectfully disagree. You have failed to understand that there is a tremendous difference between Kicking and Spanking. In this case, a spanking was administered.

And back on topic, a few spankings might be exactly what the doctor ordered for all most of the parties involved here.

BION - my wife and I were having this EXACT conversation recently - and it involved our 24 and 20 year old kids.

It's generational, we think. And we think it's our fault. And there's nothing we can do about it now.

Sometime between Dr. Spock and Windows 95, Buck Rogers became real. When that happened, most young people started to lose a very critical trait - interpersonal communication skills. Forget grammer - the electron boxes can't infer inflection, context, humility, facial expression, and other critically important parts of good communication skills. We gave our kids some tools, and took others away.

Despite our very best efforts, we failed miserably to REALLY impress upon them that the world is hard, it's not fair, and sometimes, people just don't get along. But there's real value in the art of agreeing to disagree. And much better yet, the admittance of ones' own fallibility. Like most of their generation, their skin is paper thin and especially for the older one, the chickens are starting to come to roost. She's remembering and learning the hard way. Soon, her brother will to.

So ride on, my brother Barry! In spite of yourself, I still like ya! If you feel you have to screw sheep, and even a few forum sheep-le, by all means have at it.

As a noob I butted heads with the mean old Bustanut Joker. Check!
I thought he was a bully. Check!

I thought he had no respect for the new members. Check!

I thought he was just useless noise. Check!

In time I grew to admire, even respect the man.

Awww, that's sweet!

His patience for noob mistakes is short, his delivery is not politically correct, and his grammar is atrocious. Check, Double Check, Triple Check!!!

But, he has the right idea. I am agreeing with him more often the longer I am here. Damn Right!

Except about the sheep. I am not into the sheep thing. Ya, sure, right!

Now THAT'S funny right there.

Hey, PT, how about editing your post? Putting your reply OUTSIDE the quoted content so we know what it is you're adding. M'kay? Once was an accident, etc...

And I'm still trying to figure out the subject... You're either toast - OR WHAT?

Well, I am either toast or... I win.
