WFO-9 Guest Speaker - ANOTHER reason to attend!!

[kaitsdad]

Friday night's dinner at WFO-9 promises to be a unique one. Not because of the food, nor the location, and certainly not because of the name of the town.

Friday night's dinner at WFO-9 promises to be a unique one because of our guest presenter - our very own visitor to Creston; the only member to use the word "simian" in a post; and inarguably the most literate and profound speaker that I've not yet heard. (yes, I spell checked "inarguably" - our forum dictionary does not recognize it, no doubt due to being structured with four syllables.)

Yes, Ladies, Gentlemen, and fellow staff, James Burleigh will be presenting to us - I won't tell you what about, nor will I tell you his real name; but rest assured, he will be presenting. (does that make sense?)

I am so looking forward to this.

See you all there !!!

For the record, we ran him out of Creston cause he was usin werds with 3 sillyables. :rofl:

I'm really looking forward to this!

 

[johnny80s]

Do you think the simians in the audience will understand him?

 

[Old Michael]

I'd think that this development would translate into a steep discount on the registration fee.

Well, this is a biker rally, and thars a coupla things we don't tolerate too good -- tree huggin animal rights folks and airyoodite carryin ons bout stuff we don't even wanna unnerstand. I jes hope the stage is pertected with a chicken wire enclosur fer JB's sake, cuz staff ain't agonna take away are longnecks.

I here he's gonna do a presentation bout mountin tars and tunin up FJRs. Long as he sticks to them topics he otta be alrite. ^_^

Daahm! I must be reading too many of Mad Mike's posts as I actually understood this (well mosta it). I agree... the bandstand set up used in Swayze's "Roadhouse" movie would be appropriate.

Jeff Healey --- sadly no longer with us

Looking forward to the presentation regardless

 

[Fairlaner]

maybe he will do a Rolf Harris type presentation and auction off the result........( as long as he don't sing 2 little boys)

Look him up if you don't know who he is......(I had to with Jeff Healey)

[exskibum]

Well, if JB can play like Jeff Healey, he'd better be bringing his guitar, and I'll be begging him to let me tune his bike and change his tires in exchange for lessons and a few secrets. The image I had in mind was a little closer to that in "Blues Brothers" before they switched up with "Rawhide" and progressed to owning the crowd with "Stand By Your Man." :lol:

 

[airboss]

Guess I had better dig out the ole' funk & wagnel and start studing up on the big words :close_tema:

 

[dcarver]

My money is on JB to deliver. As much as I like Ari, I think JB's presentation will be much more 'earthy' for use mere mortals.

 

[ShinyPartsUp]

It better be better than NAFO, or I want a refund.

 

[Ric in Sac]

Nothing like a bird watching, art fartin, pinko lib from Berkeley to liven things up. You ever notice he always rides his motorcycle onn the left . . . .

 

[James Burleigh]

Thank you for that nice introduction, kaitsdad. I confess it was a difficult decision for me to accept the engagement, since I am so modest, have trouble expressing myself, and am inclined to keep my thoughts, feelings, and personal opinions to myself. But in the end I gave in.

Okay, actually it was my idea. They tried to say no thanks, but I told them if I couldn't be a guest speaker then I would pout and leave the forum and to hell with all of you (like I've done already three or four times before--we all remember the "knee puck" thread, right?). So I guess they finally figured what the hell. Everyone will be drunk and falling down when I talk anyway. It'll be like I'm not even there. So they said yes, but only if I promised to keep it to 10 or 15 minutes.

I'm still developing my ideas for a cogent, insightful, analytical, prescient, erudite speech full of sound and fury, and probably will be developing it right up until that last drink with Fairlaner before I have to go up to the podium. But I'm pretty sure the title of it will be something like, "What in the Hell is it with FJRs Anyway?” Or if not that, maybe, “The FJR: WTF?!”

Anyway, under one or both of these titles, or maybe even a better one, I will talk about the mystery and beauty of how a community can grow out of a piece of silver and blue metal (and maybe some other slower colors too ), and how that's kinda, you know, boss an' all. So if you're gonna be there anyway, and gonna be having dinner with everyone else, well, come hear me humiliate myself in front of the the entire FJR Forum Western Region community.

Now THAT I would pay to see. :lol: :lol:

Uh....okay. Should we bring rotten fruits and vegetables or will ammunition for the "salad toss" be provided?

How about some humor thrown in? That's all imbibing people on vacation really care about...
