OK I'M #2 in posts but Jack is a runaway winner.
Pork pie gets xtra points for being in Germany
-
I think that Pork Pie gets all those points for two reasons:
Many of his posts are quite long, and:
He really writes them in German and has Jon's auto-translator re-do them in English, gathering double points because of the two languages.
I wonder what Jack's native language is. The translator system must have to work extra-duty to get his stuff into something we can read. Too bad there's no translator to make it more understandable, too.
(Dang, now jack's going to hassle me for something -- I can just feel it in my farkle).
-
Jack has blisters on his finger tips and now types with his toes and he lives close enough to to Baja AKA as Mexico west to speeeeek it.

Not really, Jon....the facts is......I think about the "English English" translation.......than it went into the first converter......there it will be translate into "American English"......after them it went thru the second converter...."American Alabama/Far North/Deep West Coast/Cornfield Middle West/Rocky's North Shore" is the result, so that nearly everybody can understood my writing....except the north east coaster - they are so close to Mother England that they would understood my English English and got now a problem with the second converter result............
What means at last.....three times the point :wink: :D
Think fast.....always

Hey, I'm hardly ever on this site....
-
Yeah that's why you are in the middle of the top five :twisted:
-
If you throw enough of it, some is bound to stick to the wall and soon they will bump into it.
If you aim for the ears, most of it will go out the other side.
The most direct method is in their face.
I know that works the best because they hate it the most.
The Magazine articles are next. :wink:
** IRRITAINMENT : Entertainment and media spectacles that are Annoying but you find yourself unable to stop watching them.
-
And the count goes on along with Dolan gibberish AKA Bull Sh-T
-
He is always clear as mud, but covers the ground.
-
We may never know who spends the most "time" on this site. That person may not be a contributer, just an observer. JD
-
Geeez, I can't even argue with JD on that one.
I spend much less time than you might imagine.
I concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
Sometimes it is designed to even make you think. :wink:
"If sticks and stones are your weapons of choice, you are gonna really hate my gun."
-
Its kind of like the old Kung fu show with Dolan as the Ancient and the rest of us are the Grasshoppers. In this case I am, however older then the ancient, maybe not as smart, but older. Sometimes I have trouble figuring out what the Ancient means but I enjoy his words of wisdom. Maybe I need psychiatric help
-
I,ll take the occasion of Jimmy Six's comment to make my first post to the group. I joined the group after being told about it by Glen B. I have been here since January 3 06. I probably log on three or more times a day, ya I am hooked.
I will be making my first visit to the salt as a spectator this August. Been a racer of some thing or another all my life. Looking forward to meeting many of you in person.
Jim
-
Jim, Jim, Jim -- do you realize what you're getting yourself into? You're going to the Salt? Abandon all hope of having spare disposable income, and be ready to accept a life that has only three seasons -- looking forward to going to the Salt, at the Salt, regretting having to leave the Salt.
You've already met Glen, so that part's over and done with. Now you'll have the opportunity to meet the rest of us. Come find Nancy and me and maybe we'll let you climb up to the roof of our newly-bought trailer that'll have a viewing platform on top.
We all look forward to meeting you soon.
-
Hey, the counter's farkled up again (or still). Look at my post right above this one -- 246 posts, 1337 points. The scroll up to near the top and see my previous post -- 246 posts, 1337 points.
What the heck? This has happened to my posts before -- anybody else notice it on theirs?
Maybe it's Jack's fault. Maybe it's Pork Pie's translator machine. Maybe it's Jonathon's way of playing with our minds!
-

Wow slim, I'll be by too! I'll even bring my cooler!!
As for that trouble maker :twisted: Glen, just look at the number of posts both he and Jack have to see who's on here the most. Points just mean Pork & me know the answers to some of Jon's questions.
Speaking of that where is the next trivia question web master?
-
The post and point total goes up for all the old ones also.
My battle is with the ***"SEAGULL RULERS". I shouldn't have to watch you too. :wink:
***SEAGULL RULER : A ruler, who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
OBTW: Jon seems to have more trouble with the questions than we have with the answers. :?
-
OK Bellingham, just boom down and hold the load. Four months from now you will have had your first case of the Salt illness. It is something from which you will never recover. The more you like it, the sicker you get. No carrier provides insurance for this malady so your wife's beer money stash is a thing of the past.
Welcome to this ohana.

Jack feel free to give correct questions, I do the best that I can with the material I have.. There are those who can be critics but unless you are willing to chime in and help.....
I actually have alot going on right now, i've been trying.. Maybe this coming monday ill have one picked out... Unless you have one in mind...

Jon, mark 10 square feet for me and my camera...and pleace park the trailer in the pits on the right place.....you know what I mean....with a proper view to the course........thanks in advance
see ya
Ps: this is an anniversary....my 100 post to the website......

For those that don't get the "boom down and hold the load" reference in Freud's post we met last week and discovered we both were crane operators in a previous life - before retirement.
Slim, thank you for the offer. Seems like all great minds think alike - I have just finished up TIG,ing together a 4'X 6' observation platform for the top of out '87 Suzuki Samurai Tintop that we tow behind the MH. Its complete with removeable guard rails and a socket for the patio umbrella. I also picked up a 10'X10' pop-up canopy for on the ground along side the Sammi. Sammi has AC in case it gets too hot for the wife's Yorkie. She wanted me to be sure that worked, not for us but for puppy (-:
Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Maybe I shoulda bought a 14 x 70 mobile home with flat roof -- and rented space on the top.
So I sold the old 6 x 12 and found a 7 x 16 on eBay -- comes with a ladder rack up top, even a ladder permanently mounted on the front to climb up there. I couple of pieces of plywood, I figure, and we'll have a pretty good place from which to watch. Nancy's looking forward to the opportunity to lie out in the sun up there, too. I plan to get there early so I can get prime parking space for the trailer.
I'll have one of those "take a number" dispensers at the foot of the ladder -- will come up with the fee amount later.

Doesn't update until you log out.

See what I started.LOL :evil: :twisted: :lol: :idea:
-
Slim and all---It doesn't make any difference how many points you have..Nobody knows or remembers who came in 2nd...JD
-
JD you tell them how it is.

We might just find the time to generate some questions.
Since history tends to repeat it's self, it couldn't hurt. :wink:
-

JackD,
I sent a trivia question to Jon over the e-mail......done it not too hard....
just a simple question.......a historical question......
Will see if Jon use them......
-
Perhaps you should send me the answer or at least withhold it from Jon to see how he does. :wink:
-
O.K. Dolan, why don't you learn from your cousin Jack Abrahamoff back in D.C., and slip a few of us wannabees a few points now and then. You might end up with a few more friends, perhaps even a few on the Rules Committee....................lol
-
The MC rules committee is a fracture of somebodies imagination.
One of them said to me the other day he believed he was listed just to shut him up.
The heat is about to go up under the lamp that he fears so much.
Did I tell you about casting the live bait for fish and catching a SEAGULL ?
I wound him in like a kite while he screamed and tried to get away.
When I got him in close, I cut the line because the hook was so deep there was no removing it.
I hope he learned something and remembers me. :wink:
-
Jack' I would think you should wear a large brim hat as the sea gull is circling the harbor waiting for you.
GB
-
They don't follow the sail boat so much. The guy that takes care of it at the marina, also feeds the on board cat that keeps the gulls away.
The cat would hide out until a bird landed and then move in quick for a snack. I think the word got out among the birds and the cat eats more from his tray now. The 1/2 day fishing charter near us will often bring him a surprise. :wink:
-

Was his name Jon..a...something 8) .
Sorry that is pretty weak, but I had to do something as you and Glen are pretty busy padding your point leads and pulling further away from me :twisted: .
c ya, Sum
-
Sumner,thats what happens when you take a vacation, you go backwards in the points race, but what the heck I think Jack has lapped me with his long winded stories, and is a friend of the Propster dude, The talk to each other daily, I think they are really brothers.
-
I am saving up for a sticker. :wink:

I knew it!!! Dolan and Franklin are ONE AND THE SAME!!! The same mindless garble! The words of a Messiah!! Amen, and this Bud's for you!!!

If you are still fishing in your Bud, you need to get out more. :wink:

...famous case in Australian literature( yes , it exists) where two writers came up with the name Ern Malley and began submitting flowery poetry to a well known magazine , Ern was hailed as the new messiah , 'til they fessed up, it made dills of a lot of people who then got pretty shirty about it all .....I'd always wondered if Pranklin Flopster was a construct of a cunning LSR type with a taste for mischief......... :twisted:
BTW I'm hardly never on this site.........

FR is pretty wide spread.
Most people tire of his approach but I enjoy sparing with him.
He has actually softened with me because he knows I won't back down.
He still plays with fire but has learned more how to respond to the heat. :wink:
-

I would love to be on the other end of the questions. We can set up so someone else can post the question. That is easy to do. I will give points for the questions (the person who comes up with question and answer) then still give the points to the winner.
I would love to be the guesser. Easy to do, email me personally the question and if I use it then the person giving the question will need to log in and monitor the responses. That would be great and relieve me somewhat of some duties.
Email me.
Jon
-
I had no idea he would like it so much.
There must be something wrong.
What would FR do ?
I guess it is worth a try.
The answer must include a reference as to where the information can be independently verified.
I will work on it and I'll bet others will also. :wink:

.........is that a yes or a no? :wink:
-
Yes, I am not FR but I do know how to find him.
No, I haven't worked on a trivia item yet.
Yes. I will handle both all in good time.
No, I don't let go. LOL :wink:
-
Pit Bulls only let go when their teeth fall out...how many you got left, Jack?

I use Acupressure and won't let go. :wink:
