    Greetings

    To learn something new every day is a good thing.  To remember what you learn is the hard part.

    How bout some background information?

    Sorry, we don't tend to discuss anything new. We don't share ideas, and we don't "converse". Occasionally there is the odd Neanderthal grunt followed by a bodily indiscretion from the lower bowel. Surely you've got us mistaken for a "real" forum. No?

    ...But at the same time, WELCOME!

      jeez scott, get up on the wrong side of the bed?

      1. Scott | Dec 02, 2010 12:57am | #5

        The satirical side.

        Sorry if it came across the wrong way. Perhaps my posting should be filed under "bodily indiscretion".  ;-)

        BTW... saw your message in Mongo's thread where you said, "But in the more important things in life, I defy anyone to come close."

        Yup... you got that right, and Nope no one's close.  :-)

          no one's close..........

          I don't knowScott, I don't have a lock on the process.  A little common sense and a caring for people, nothing to it.  There's a few secrets, like knowing how to toss horseshoes, but the rest come pretty naturally to many of us.

          Being a decent bull shit er doesn't hurt either.

            I think you have this site confused with Inspire.

            Dan

            Just trying to get in touch with my more gen-teel side.

            You ought to try it.

          3. DanH | Dec 02, 2010 08:18am | #9

            When I touch my gen-teels someone always calls the cops.

          4. calvin | Dec 02, 2010 09:00am | #10

            I give up.

            You sir, are a hopeless cause.
