I think high horse riding under the influence of vodka tonics can be hazardous to your message board cred. Giddy up, BPH. Your ass is out of the gate, and blowing hard.

Look man, I don't figure I have any "board cred" worth defending. If you disagree with the eyeno banning take it up with Jeff.

Also reminded me of a past username. Next time I think that way, I'm going directly to admin instead of ignoring it.

+2. Never liked eyeno one bit. Agree with JackRiddler- the whole thing's shitty. Agree with Barracuda- there are things more important than being right.

Grammar is pretty important. Proper punctuation, etc.
Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.

Very funny.

I think it only fair to warn you, barracuda: I have a degree in Jazz, the Mason Word and Second Sight.

Plus I'm ten times as paranoid as you. At the deli on the way home, after reading your post, I heard "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" on the radio. Don't think for a second that the implication escaped me.

Hey! What happened to Nordic?!

I missed seeing his posts, did a quick search and saw that his last post was on May 15th, clicked on his name — and saw, "The requested user does not exist."

But I know he existed once! — what happened to him?!

*Unless temporary suspension also temporarily 'deletes' account info, which I doubt it does.

It happened in HMW's "Mirror mirror...G. Gordon Liddy as a 'Snow White' dwarf??" thread.

I feel bad because I think I behaved similarly in that thread (got off with a warning, I think).

Hmm. Thank you, Elvis. I probably missed it because I tend to ignore Keyword Hijacking discussions. (As much as I am able.)

And Nordic, I think a lot of you. I sincerely hope to see you again.

Yeah, I got one of those warnings too for that thread. Nordic got suspended. I was simply trying to troll the board with peaceful intents of just being a cocksucker too, in the spirit of jest and whatever else my mood fed me.

Hope you come back Nord.
