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

Good to see "somebody" is doin' their JOB around here....FINALLY!!!

BUT....as SOON as ANOTHER "somebody" or ANYBODY goes on a rant around here about "THAT"(or ANY friggin' RANT that has ANY partisan political theme AT ALL) THEN I FULLY EXPECT whichever Moderator it was to delete "THAT" thread ALSO!!!!

(and THAT'S no matter IF you agree with their position or NOT....GOT IT????!!!!)


(AND BTW...what ABOUT them Dodgers anyway, HUH?!!!!)

So somebody posted about the Nobel Peace Price huh

Both sides of my family got off the boat at Ellis Island from Norway. I may abandon my roots or ask Oslo to become part of Sweden.

Geography and family trees are OK I think.

No, actually Ron, what I had posted was what might be construed as a "pre-emptive strike" against what I was almost SURE would be coming up around here(knowing as I do some of the "personalities" around this place), and yes, about "that" topic....and in, of course, my typical sarcastic and "oh so subtle" joking manner.

Come on Dwight.....everyone knows you have never so much as implied directly , indirectly or even remotely steered or promoted political views of any kind on this here motorsicle
board.

Hey Kevin, I do believe I answered THIS for ya the other day in that "Why I wear a full-face helmet" thread.

(maybe you ought to take another gander over at that thread again as some kind of a "refresher course", huh?!)

And BTW Kevin, What ABOUT them Dodgers, HUH?!

(looks like at THIS point they're goin' to go A LOT further than those Diamondbacks were ever gonna go this year, HUH?!)

Have not followed baseball this year. I am enamored with the Vikings and Mr Favre though.

Relax though.....the mods seem pretty much equal opp around here when it comes to deleting entire threads or posts.

Yea I read your silly post in the full face helmet coversation piece.

Jus chill ...you get away with murder around here as much as any of us other rabble rousing good for nothings.

Hmmmm...Now that I think about that, MAYBE I should'nt have asked him about the Dodgers!!!

I mean, they ARE a Los Angeles-based team ya know folks, and I THINK we know by now how Kevin feels about all those "Hollywood Types" out there. Right?!

Yep, if I recall correctly it was juuuuuust about a week ago or so when he told us all "Death becomes them" or somethin' like that anyway, and then went on one of his usual rants!!!

(nope...now that I THINK about this, MAYBE I shouldn't have mentioned the Dodgers at ALL here, huh?!)

LOL ...There ya go again.........

Attempting to incite a riot.

YOU will never be up for a Nobel. As for me I am not trying.

Go take a warm shower with Sean Penn .....that will warm the cockles of your heart Dwight.

pssst....okay...okay folks...I think he's gone.

Now....WHAT ABOUT THEM DODGERS, HUH???!!!

(though I gotta feelin' Dave[roadworthy] bein' a Cardinal fan like he is, he ain't gonna wanna respond to this thread either!)

Personally canny the attraction of rounders...almost as bad as bloody cricket or that other Scottish abomination golf.....and dont start me on tennis .....

DANG!!! I guess the guy WAS still here, HUH?!

DUDE!!! Let me see if I have this right here...I'M "inciting a riot" by quoting YOU?! AND, I might add, NOT out of context EITHER!!! And THAT was just ONE of your RANTS around here....RECENTLY!!!

(ahhhhh, ya know folks, there's just no way to get through to that guy is there...yep, some folks will never understand how to be in a social environment or how play the game of life with others, huh?!...too bad, ain't it?!...and as much fun as I have tryin' to get through to this one, I think I'm just gonna go and start ignorin' the poor guy...yep...I guess I'm a bit slow, 'cuz it's taken me all these years to understand that there's just no gettin' through to the poor guy)

And BTW Eric, of course I wasn't talkin' about you in the above.

(BUT...keep talkin' about the hallowed sport of BASEBALL like that, and I might have to make YOU look bad here TOO, my friend!!!)

I am offended!

They never should have left Brooklyn. Been downhill ever since. Luckily in Texas we don't listen to anything from the left so we naturally don't get the games. Plus if it ain't on Fox News its not worth watching.

Eric,get it right please.......Its "big boy" rounders and well you know it!

(okay, folks. Juuuust to show ya what a "never-say-die" kind'a guy I am, I'm going to try to reach Kevin one last time)

And soooo, Kevin, IF you're still out there, please take a seat.

You know how you keep sayin' that there are other members around at this website who are just as opinionated as you are and attempt to post those opinions here? Well, first I don't think that THAT'S quite accurate, BUT for "argument sake" let's say you're right, okay?!

And so, "if" that is "true", then there HAS to be a reason why it seems I pay special attention to your offerings than it may seem I do to others' offerings here, even among those who it might seem may hold very similar opinions as you often seem to profess at this website?!

Well, the reason for that IS...and MAYBE you don't know this...BUT, it's common knowledge among the members of this website who have been here long enough to remember the days before the so-called "new A.U.P.s" that it was your actions and your general lack of civil discourse during the era when certain topics were somewhat allowed to be discussed here, which in fact was the primary reason for those "new A.U.Ps" to be instituted here in the first place.

And no, before you think that's only what the "liberals" around here think is "common knowledge", I KNOW for a fact that even those folks around here who hold very similar views as yourself, yes, "conservatives", also acknowledge this "common knowledge" as fact.

And so you see, this whole thing is much more than just the idea of people "slippin' in" the political viewpoints into thread or even starting those kinds of threads around here. Nope, it's more the MANNER in which they do it. In other words, there is a somewhat civil manner in which to do that, and then there is a un-civil manner. And unfortunately I (and as I've previously stated I'm not the only one to hold this opinion) believe you often seem to be incapable of this civil manner in which to offer your viewpoint, and that it's NOT usually the content of those viewpoints you share with us that is the most objectionable factor here.

And, I wouldn't have attempted this "final appeal" to you IF I thought there wasn't a chance of you finally recognizing those "new" A.U.Ps just a little more, and maybe joining us in trying to "keep it lighter" when those topics which beckon to us to "go off" DO come up around here. Because I KNOW you and I will probably seldomly be in agreement whenever those potentially "heated" topics DO seem to be "slipped in" around here on-the-sly anyway.

(okay folks...I've tried here...I guess we'll see what happens next, huh?!)

Geeze... I go out for a ride (the whole pretense behind being on this forum) and I miss.... WHAT? What did I miss??? Spare me the details... just the juicy bits iz all I need!

I think this thread is pretty self-explanatory here, Keith.

Even though you haven't been around here all that long, I think you probably not only know of the "old days" around here, but also have kind'a gotten a feel for the some of the "personal dynamics" around here, right?!

That of course is IF your memory hasn't been too compromised by usin' too much of that there license plate obscuring paint lately, ya know!

(I assume you've read the "Red Light Camera" thread recently, right!)

Oh my memory may be effected, but not from whatever it was in that thread I don't recall. There are other forces at play...! But ummm, of course I can't help but get a feel for certain "personal dynamics" around here... I mean I do hang out here a fair bit and I have amazing powers of observation. AMAZING! I was referring to the said deleted post/thread I missed which (as a guy not been here long) finds not only interesting but IMPORTANT to the furthering of relations and personal insight. Of course in all honesty things do play out logically and I am not totally without clue or reason.

HEY!!! AND, ya know WHAT, folks???

Those ANGELS ain't doin' too badly again tonight EITHER!!!

(yep...they've just knocked Beckett outta the game and it's 4-1 Angels in the bottom of the 7th right now!!!)

I was just wondering how The Onion took over all the networks simultaneously this morning.

Good question there, Larry!!!

(to be honest with ya, I TOO kind'a had that same thought!???)

I know you're not "totally without a clue or reason" Keith, but I couldn't resist that reference to that "obscuring" spray paint in the other thread!!!

Okay...quick synopsis here:

I started a thread earlier today titled, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6...", and when you'd open the thread it said...

"Huh? WHAT?! Ya wanna know what I'm doin' here, do ya? Well, I'm just countin' down the minutes here until "somebody" around here feels the overwhelming complulsion to go on a rant about that latest news comin' out of Oslo Norway!!!"

And THEN I said..."I suuuuure hope I'm countin' down FOR NOTHIN' here!!!(as a WARNING to anyone around here who MIGHT THINK this motorcycle-themed website is for the purpose to RANT about such things, 'cuz I TOO am not "clueless" and I KNOW from past experiences around here that even threads meant as a comic observation will OFTEN EVENTUALLY entice a "few somebodys" around here who will take that comic intent and USE IT to rant!)

And THEN I went on to say..."Now that THAT'S been said, and while I fully understand that the following doesn't have ANYTHING to do with "motorcycling", I still feel that it probably doesn't violate the so-called "new" A.U.P.s around here...so here goes...."HEY! HOW ABOUT THEM DODGERS???!!!"

And then, one or more of the moderators around here must've thought that this was "too controversial" somehow, and so they deleted it!!!

Hence THIS thread, and my point to whoever the moderator was who deleted my first thread that I would appreciate it from now on IF they'd keep a little better tabs on those folks around here who can't seem to KEEP IT LIGHT and always seem to want to rant, even IF the moderator in question might happen to agree "philosophically" WITH the rant or NOT!!!

(and soooooooo, THIS is where we stand....in say, the bottom of the 8TH INNING here, dude!!!!)

And...DANG IT!!! While I was typing THAT, I MISSED the FINAL OUT of the ANGELS GAMES!!!


(oops....sorry for THAT "rant" there folks)

Well thanks for that insight and basically reconstructing your original (yet demised) thread. I'm telling you man... that is some FUNNY stuff!! I am sorry however that you missed the final out of the Angels game.

As for that reference to that "obscuring" spray paint in the other thread, good humor dude (did ya notice that, did ya, did ya?)... good humor.

I really do look forward to that Scotch!! It's gonna be fun!!

Yep! Me too!

Though, I gotta warn ya in person I MAY not be nearly as "clever"(for want of a more "accurate" term) as I may appear to be on this website.

Case in point:

At the Euro Rally in Poland, Thanassis took me by surprise during one of the evening festivities, and said somethin' like..."I think we should have our lone american representive say a few words here, don't you think?!

And all I remember after that, is that I somehow walked up in front of all those folks there, feeling like Jackie Gleason in that old Honeymooners "Chef of the Future" episode where he and Norton are trying to sell hundreds of that kitchen utensil they had cheaply purchased and then hoped to sell on TV for a big profit, and when Gleason is told by the TV director not to worry because there'll only be a million folks out there watchin' him, Gleason all of a sudden can do NOTHING but mutter "hommanna, hommanna, hommanna, hommanna" with a look of sheer terror in his eyes JUST as the camera started rollin'....well....I THINK that's how I kind'a came off over there that night!!!


(of course, I think I might've already been in somewhat of a shocked mood anyway, as that was the night I got the bad news about Derek Mosher's[SalMaglie] death)

And I gotta warn you man... I'm WAY more forgetful in person than I am on this forum. Ha!!!

That oughta be fun. Dwight stammerin' and Keith tryin' to find his train of thought


Good thing there'll be Scotch involved.

(yeah, but Friar John tells me that THAT may all be due to something OTHER than that obscuring spray paint...yep...I think he mentioned somethin' that included the phrase, "BC's largest cash crop", or SOMETHIN' like that anyway!!!)

Yeah, I saw that in your "Anniversary" thread!

(some funny responses in that thread, alright!!!)

Well, I'll be sure to get one.
I also have a bottle of fine Doña Engracia añejo tequila that I've yet to open. (As well as a variety of other potables).

Be sure to let me know which evenings you're free, Friday or Saturday preferably, though Tuesday the 10th evening is good too; 11th is a holiday.
(I still have to push the mill wheel ya know )

Will do. I know we'll work out a time for this somehow, ol' buddy!!!

Fargin' amazing ain't it? Vegas, California, BC all in one encapsulated moment... may the circle be unbroken!! Well of course there may be substance interjection here just so ya know... I mean, it is late at night. I don't ride like this FYI.

Yep Keith. Pretty cool alright!

And to add yet another location into that mix....Now IS the time to maybe start plannin' that ride to Prescott AZ for next May's SWTF, ya know!

Yep! Make it happen, dude!

(talk to ya later my friend....I'm gonna watch Sportscenter now and those Angel highlights!!!)
