Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Okay then...COOL!!!

Sometimes Dwight reminds me of the guy in this video.

Dwight's pot stirring technique

Dang... "We are sorry, this content is not available for your country."

Well...you saw it folks...I tried, didn't I?!

(so long "troll"...or should I say, "goon")

Wait, you're going to let Kevin win?

"Kevin" WHO???

And besides John, I think if you'd take a poll around here, I doubt there'd be many among us here who would say that that poor bedeviled soul was in any way a "winner"!!!

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH DWIGHT!!!

OH! and BTW.....

GO DODGERS!!!

(...and ANGELS!!!)

"ROCKIES"!!!!

(ya know Greg, I'm half tempted to start ignoring YOU around here now TOO, dude!!!)

Kevin couldn't win if he was playing with himself..........
Which he obviously is, and is just as obviously a loser, so...I rest my case.

Yeah, RIGHT, like you could ever NOT talk....


Hey, Dwight, on a different note, what do you know about the cost of living in Flagstaff, since you're "down the road" in Prescott?

Interesting! so now you're lookin' at Flagstaff, huh Greg?!

Very nice city surrounded by lots of pine forests, with skiing very close by.

However, who you really ought to contact is Becky, who would be able to tell you a whole lot more about that town than I could.

(so, what's up with THIS now???)

BTW folks....

DODGERS SWEEP CARDS IN DIVISIONAL SERIES!!!

(and the Angels will do that very same thing tomorrow to those poor Red Sox)

Well Larry, I hope you were joking here, as the Lounge has historically been open AND accepting to a plethora of topics that may not have much to do with motorcycling at all.

Football, Baseball, Movies, Songs...heck, you name it!

What it is NOT for, at least anymore SINCE the so-called "New A.U.P.s" were instititued at BA.com is for the DISCUSSION of politics, religion, and a few more topics that off the top of my pointy little head I can not recall at the moment, that WOULD cause heated debates to very possibly occur.

Now, while I noted your clever response in this thread about "The Onion taking over the media" the other morning, which if you recall I did infer WAS "clever"(and which I also said I somewhat agreed), AND your "clever" remark about "paying taxes to keep the CO2 levels down" in that "Riding Season Over" thread...there ARE(and I'm sure you're smart enough to know this) a few folks around here who find it VERY hard to stop with just "subtle" little opinions like that. Nope. They go on RANTS!!!

Come on, YOU KNOW what I'm talking about here.

And, I ALSO hope that you realize THIS THREAD was started by me in order to keep those people(and once again, I have enough respect for your intelligence that I think you know who those people are) from doing just THAT. And, in the process of this thread there was been many interesting correspondence between many fellow members who just want to have some fun around here.

AND, if you have felt here that I have somehow "tied your hands" in some way so you couldn't "be free" to express your opinions in depth about those now verboten topics(and that's the impression I'm getting here with your latest post)...THEN...ol' buddy...I'm sooooooo sorry!

(man...I REALLY ought to be a moderator around here, ya know folks!!!)

I would just like to point out that Kevin hasn't taken the bait. Interesting...

Oh yeah, Dwight, where did you go? I don't suppose there's PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE of that trip, is there?

Take it easy on Larry there Dwight, I think he may be a Cardinals fan

Got to give the Dodgers credick Dwight.
They came to play and obviously the Cardinals didn't.
Good luck to them in the NLCS.

Well, first of all John, this "bait" was NOT just offered to that person you just mentioned. NOPE!!!

It was offered towards a WHOLE HOST of folks around here who I'm really tired of seeing some of the moderators allowed to rant on about subjects which violate the "new" A.U.P.s here at this website.

Because as I just explained to Larry, and as I know YOU know, there are more than just a few folks here who when after seeing a clever observation or EVEN a rational thought expressed about "those" subjects will not refrain themselves from throwing out opinions such as, well, let's take this very issue that this thread was sarted by me about in efforts to put a lid on it because it was BOUND to get out of hand...Obama's Nobel Prize!

It would start out as a simple supposition postulated by someone here who might say something like, "Don't you think it's rather strange that Obama this early in his term has somehow won that prize?"...a very reasonable and rational question asked.

And John, I KNOW you know that eventually SOMEBODY(and maybe NOT "that" somebody) would say sometime like..."YEAH! And THAT'S because he's sold out America!" and THAT would just be the BEGINNING of their rant!

And THAT'S the kind of CRAP I'm REALLY tired of reading from folks around here, AND really tired of some of the moderators who, over the course of these years that I've been a member here, KNOW might agree with that kind of "crap" and so seem to have a tendency to "let it ride".

I mean John, you yourself here very recently used what I thought wasn't your best judgement when you jumped right on that newby and almost immediately wanted to ban him from this website. And that was AFTER I got him to apologize for some ill-tempered remarks he made. BUT, when for some reason some of the "OLD TIMERS" around here go on these same kind of UNAPOLOGETIC(and THAT might be even MORE the issue here)ill-tempered rants, there seems to be a double standard.

So, what's up with that?

(and BTW, regarding the trip...yes, I will begin to write THAT report very soon....as soon as I can get SOME FOLKS around here to understand how to "play the game" around here in more of a reasonable manner.....WAIT a minute...that'll probably mean I'll NEVER get to that ride recap then, HUH?!)

I think this little demonstration by Larry's namesakes will help us all to understand the high technical skills of the Phillies. The only real ball team in America.

Baseball Training

Just rooting for the team that beat us.

Can't stand the Phillies and the Rockies should be sledding by now.

And one more thing here John...as I'm watching those darn Red Sox beatin' the Angels here, AND before we get BACK to the "Okay then...COOL!!!' kind of topics such as baseball, meeting fellow site members in person for some beers or scotch whisky, or whatever topics THIS thread has morphed into...I have just one more thing to say about your following quote here...

Well John...What exactly would you call this juvenile response by that individual, who I will no longer refer to by name nor now reply to at this website, after he posted THIS response in this thread, WHICH I can ONLY assume is some kind of personal sexual fantasy of HIS which he evidently here tried to project upon me....

Quote:

BTW how did your warm shower with Sean Penn go? Betcha dropped the soap for him at least twice?

---

Well John, I don't know about YOU, but I'd say that THAT response is MORE than just a little nibble on that line you're talkin' about there, wouldn't ya say?!

(and I'm ALSO kind'a thinkin' here that the posting of his own "personal sexual fantasies" probably violate the old, let alone the new, A.U.P.s around here TOO!!!)

And while I have a feeling that you, and maybe a few of the other moderators around here MIGHT want to classify this as "just a personality conflict" here and/or "just a clash of styles", well, sorry...I believe this all boils down to MUCH more than just that.

And while you may ALSO think that this thread is "just Dwight being Dwight again"(maybe kind'a like "Manny[Ramirez] just being Manny", to put this in some kind of baseball terms ), and/or that maybe "that's Dwight just wantin' to be the center of attention again"...well...I THINK if you look at the evidence logically here, I believe you'd find that that may NOT be the "whole story" here.

Nope. And I also have the feeling here that some might think I'm being "politically correct" here TOO! Well, I'm sorry, if they might THINK that, but let me remind you folks who might think that, that this website in effect BECAME somewhat "politically correct" when the powers-that-be INSTITUTED those "new A.U.P.s", WHICH at the time if you recall, I was one of the members here who thought that those "new" rules went too far!!!

Yep! "political correctness", a term much derided by those very same folks out there who ALSO seem to decry "how much this country no longer believes in civility, manners and respect for others."

Kind'a "ironic", ain't it?!

AND, just one more note, if you will...I also believe that when it comes to contributing to this website in numerous ways, such as hosting rallies, attending rallies, promoting comradery among us, and yes, even my lousy friggin' jokes which I think a number of people have seemed to appreciate over the years for some strange reason..well...I believe that I have contributed far more over the years than that person who will remain nameless ever has.

But then again, MAYBE I care just a little too much about the quality of this website than I really should, huh?!

Okay...and NOW back to Baseball, Scotch whisky, and those other POSITIVE, FUN and ALLOWABLE(by virture of the "New" A.U.P.s) topics.

ALL RIGHT!!!

The Angels have just pulled within a run of the Red Sox in the top of the 8th and now it's 5-4!!!

WHAT A GAME!!!

Angels down to their last out 3 TIMES in the top of the 9th and behind by two runs, 6-4, go on to score 3 runs, and then hold Boston scoreless in the bottom of the 9th and...SWEEP THE SOX!!! Looks like that "jinx" is over NOW!!!



(could we be talkin' a "Freeway World Series" here folks???)

Well, to increase my odds Dwight of getting out that way, I've expanded my search from CO to southeast Idaho, southern Montana, Utah, New Mexico, and Flagstaff. All of these would get me within a long day's drive of family in Denver, and heck, I love the mountains and the West anyhow, so... It looks like from my research though, that housing at least in Flagstaff and the surrounding area is a tad on the steep side, but still do-able....

Well Greg, it sure would nice to have you and your family so close to our's once Judie and I get moved to Prescott early next year.

But even if it doesn't eventually work out for your needs in Flagstaff, here's hopin' that you do finally get settled out west to the mountains somewhere here soon, as I know that's been your dream for quite a while now.

Thanks Dwight. Although I'm still posting my resumes at any place between Boise, Flagstaff, Albuquerque and Helena, I don't expect that I will actually be hearing anything in the near future. With the jobless situation, and companies in the condition they are in, I suspect that most companies are going to do everything they can to hire locally to avoid the extra expense of relocating someone, so I don't expect anything to move until the economy picks up some. I know the fact that Wall St is great (for them), but I certainly can't swing moving myself 2000 miles right now. But, I'm good at playing the long game, and amazingly, despite the economy, I am still seeing a fair number of postings in my field (manufacturing) which is encouraging.

LOl....dwight ole girl......I did not TAKE your bait. You took mine hook line and sinker.

I expect the soap got dropped adequate to the task at hand.

An awful lot of bloviating for a simple hook with one worm for the prize bass. (that'd be you by the way)

little bills post was the only one between the two of you with substance....it was meant to be insulting but although heartfelt on his part ineffectual. (too direct and thusly boring)

John was right.....no bait here for me to pounce on from the beginning of this thread.

hee he he...

Operator! OPERATOR!!! I suddenly seem to have a whole lot of static of this party line!!!

And so "Operator"(ie MODERATOR)...can you please see if you can clear this party line so that all of my friends and I here can get back to partyin' again...please?!

(BTW...my guess is that this line might've accidently been run a few years back above some troll or goon's house somewhere, and so that might be the problem...yep, you might want to check into that possibility first)
