Ross (crsutton) needs to remain quiet. In a post last week, he revealed that he's 6'3". We already knew he wears Birkenstocks, drives vintage '70s vehicles, and enjoys having big kitty cats sit in his lap. I can't get the image of him driving down a beach drive with the top down, his head towering above the windshield, "Puff the Magic Dragon" blaring on the radio. He's either Beetlejuice or Tiny Tim.

There's a problem with these things? That sounds boringly normal for this area.

Has Banana Boy (Luskan) been seen around these parts in recent months?

Canoerebel lives in NW Georgia, where men wearing Birkenstocks and driving old Volvos is a capital offense. It's one reason I relocated to the PNW.


Full disclosure: I never liked Birkenstocks (or any sandals for that matter) and I prefer old Subarus to Volvos...

Just for the heck of it , let's list some of the veteran players that we've had disappear in recent years. Maybe if we mention their names 3 times , they'll reappear. I'd like to start with the 1st player to help me out on this forum. Terminus, Terminus, where art thou Terminus? [:(] [:(][:)]

Well I would like to say Chickenboy, Chickenboy, Chickenboy. He may have come from Minsoda, he may not have been the sharpest tool in the box, and he may have had personal body odour issues, but despite all that, I miss the dude.

Ugh. Again with that pidgin Brit-speak of yours. Remember, us Texans don't have body odour issues. We have body odor issues. Everything's big in Texas.

It worked!

Seriously dude, its really good to see you back. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Your thoughtful input and humour have been missed both here and on the General Discussion Forum.

I have a friend who lives in the outermost burbs of Atlanta, he wants to move here so badly even though houses cost 3 times as much here.

I've never been a fan of Birkenstocks either, my go to pair of shoes are made by Redwing. My SO loves Subarus, she gave her old 96 to her ex when she got a 2013. She calls it the quintessential NW car.

I drove a 92 Buick I bought new until a few months ago. Everybody thought I was weird, but it was a great car. Still runs great, but I needed something newer for roadtrips to California.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls....

For whom does the bell toll? [&:]
It just tolled for me - and told me my baked potato should be ready on the BBQ.
(I know, I know - Texans will insist that I should have had a whole steer in there with it!)

Nah, not a whole steer, but...

A proper meal consists of a baked potato main course with three sides: Brisket, Ribs and Ribeye. [;)]

Speaking of missing members (I know a few have sadly passed away[:(] ) has anyone heard or seen posts from Nikademus?
EDIT: He was one of my old debating nemeses ... I miss those bad old days [;)]

He still shows as a "moderator" in the member list but I notice his last post was from September 2014. Hope Nik is OK. :(

You do understand that a baked (russet) potato needs its own weight in butter plus any sight of it must be blocked with ground black pepper and there must be dollops of sour cream on top?

Pretty sure he's posted to Terminus' Facebook page within the last few months.

Great thread...makes me miss playing.

Anyone ever hear from Mogami? He was one of the originals back in the day.

Around here, there is a BBQ place that actually puts shredded brisket on the potato as a topping. True story.

For me personally, its butter, cheese, sour cream and bacon bits. Along with all the appropriate meat sides. [;)]

Edit: Oh, I also forgot to include the jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon. One has to have an appropriate appetizer. [:D]

Ouch! I go to the beach for a few weeks only to find out that Canoerebel has stooped to "Trump like" slander to besmirch my good name and reputation. Next thing I know and he will be complaining about my big bottom. I would be terribly offended but so much of what he said is true. I am 6'3", drive a Volvo and my cat is sitting on my lap as I type. The Birkenstock thing is a bit out of line since I lean towards Merrills but that is a small matter.

The issue as I see it is the inherent inferiority complex that people from North Georgia have. The man is obviously venting to cover up his own defects. Understandable, as being from Georgia I know only too well how unique those hill folk can be. In fact it is a little known fact that North Georgia is one of the few places where you can divorce your wife and still see her at your family reunion.....[8D]
