Who is still around from the old boards?

^^^Fine. I'll take the beer, but only if you will join me. :)
Hell, I've already got a three-bottle head start on you. Where's Andres when you need him-he's good at fetching my my brewskis and I'm not sure I can get out of my Barcalounger now...;-)
 

Rabbit

G.O.A.T.
Rabbit reminded me a while back of a...ahem..."discussion" that he and I were engaged in YEARS ago. I commented that he wasn't "...as dumb as I thought he was..." Yikes...I said that to the Rabster? Gosh. One of the few posters with whom I agree around 99% of the time (at least now).

Acutally, I remember that thread very well. You said something to me that normally would have provoked a train wreck, but taking it in Phil-context, I deciphered your sense of humor and like Drak, took it well and as it was intended; a Phil compliment!

It was at that time you gave me a little credit for being only slightly above average in the intelligence quotia department. :) I have, forever since, kept that tidbit framed in the Rabbit warren.

Rabbit and I became buddies when I paid up on my bet which btw, was bought at TW. Rabbit's a man of his word and I have no doubt that he'd have paid up had he lost the bet.

Talk about a backhanded compliment!

I think the first time I realized the awesomeness that is Phil was in a little thread titled 'Demented Eva' or something like that. Long since deleted of course.

I believe the victim of Phil's onslaught in that thread had a coronary he was so mad. Good times.

You mean the oooooold old boards right? Who remembers when they switched from that old wacky HTML format to phpBB...then got hacked a ton...and switched to vBulletin. I think I've been on here since '03.

Thank you for posting this, it clarifies the memory that I had. I first read the old HTML style board around late 2002 I think, but I don't think I joined up until it switched to the phpBB since it was easier to deal with on dial up.

Perhaps he was thinking you were "a hare above average" in that department. Or, at least, "an above average hare." :lol: LLOL

I'm laughing just thinking about that thread-I remember!

But speak for yourself, Norcal...the "Meg on the Stairmaster" and "Caught a glimpse of my neighbor's XXX on the swing" threads were spit-inducing classics!

So I guess a sparkling water is out of the question?
Will that be Perrier or San Pel...hey, wait a minute! The NERVE...now I have to repeat the mantra I learned in anger management class. Grrrrr;-)
 
pro-bono or proboscis?....that too, is the question....

Toucan huh? I broke my nose when I was 13. I think we can give me a break on any nose jokes. That's a bit distasteful, and frankly, quite rude.
Megamonster(!), sweetheart(!), what's the heck's with the crybaby jive? AFTER my previous post (which had the 'Toucan' pun in it), you then posted and happily chirped that Drak loved you best--all well and good!!--and you even included a smiley :) face as well. And then you add this crybaby post 2 posts AFTERWARDS? Hmmmm..... :neutral:

Megnanimous, don't make an issue-out-of-a-tissue. (gently placing brotherly arm around shoulder) ....... There, there now: :sad: dry your eyes blondie; here's a tissue to dab your tears with....










and here's a blanket to [size=+1]blow[/size][size=+2] your[/size] [size=+4]nose[/size]. :razz:


Meggie-weggie, there are bigger things in life to worry about.....alright so I can't come up with anything bigger off the top of my head (and maybe there aren't that many) but still.....


Drak, I echo Rabbit's sentiments. You got the "drift" regards

ILC: you kissed my ass? I return the favor: "two-fold" (wink!)

Meg, no big deal (the joking that is)
 
Sorry I just saw this thread, I was out for three weeks due to surgery,

anyway,

Can't remember if i joined in 99 or 98 but things were better back then IMO, there were few of us, less BS and very knowledgeable people that in the end left.

Not sure when TW lost its data HD but after that things went downhill. I stopped posting for a year or so then came back again. If you have Feb 2004 on your joined date you are from the old board in a way.

Unfortunately :confused: LH and I went our separate ways. The political situation between our home countries added to the misunderstanding. All I can say is hope LH is happy where he is right now.

Dedans, behave dammit!

ProTour, good point about the join date. All of the Feb 2004 people are from the phpBB version of the forum, before the massive crash or whatever it was.

DP, I missed the toucan comment the first time around. But I forgive you, just leave my nose out of this. :)

Okay, this one reduced me to tears. Dedans=the MAN!
 
don't get yer nose bent outta shape... :)

LMAO!....OK, OK!!!....your wish is my command! In the future, I promise to leave your "nose out of this."

(gently placing brotherly arm around shoulder; a gentle suggestion):

Megnificent (smile), we've gone over this before; there is difference between attack and playful tweaking. And you're more than smart enough to know the difference between the two, so don't let your ego blind you in that regard. Besides, you always have the option of "returning fire" in a number of different ways. Yes, you could take the confrontational approach, but (BETTER YET) you could play along and beat me at my own game by "returning fire" with, for example: "watch out Dedans!...Toucan play that game" or something along those lines and believe me Megnificent, I'd be the first to bow and hollar "touche' Meg!..atta baby!" :)


:neutral:--"Dedans, why are you wearing a 2-car garage on your face?"

:razz:--"Dedans, when you look up at the sky, your nostrils make it look like you're wearing sunglasses."

:)--"Wow!...looks like a shark fin....who's your plastic surgeon?"

(.......not really the case, but you get the drift.....)
