OK......So everything in here tonight is slow. I was bored and wanted a converse starter.....LOL

Any topics that still haunt you or make you proud??

Any members that have come and gone that you wish were still around??

Anything that you learned while using the forums??

Any flames that have that are deemed "classics"??

I have a few of my own......

#1 I wish I never got into that debate with Kiwi last Fall regarding the RZ350 engines....,he's the ultimate guru on them. I found this out the hard way....LOL

#2 I wish I never posted the info that Honda gave us dealers regarding the faults with the CRF engine. I think that one went on for days.

#3 I learned to stay out of the Polaris forum. I still look for guys with torches on my porch from time to time.

#4 Learned to never have a debate with a guy named after a food.[corndog]

#5 Chet doesn't come here near as often as he should. He kept the humor rolling.

#6 What happened to juggalo, KILLER250R, and icav??? Did they just dissapear or what??

#7 The Raptor vs Z400 topics didn't last no where near as long as the Raptor vs Cannondale and the Raptor vs DS650 debates. I guess there's not much to compare????

#8 There was a few PMs that were shared between me and a guy from the Honda forum who is no longer here. I find it both aggravating and humorous. I printed it and it is posted on my BB. Here it is:

"Hey KNOWSALOT. I have a race coming this weekend and I need a axle. I bent mine at the last race. I can't afford a new one so I was wondering if you have a used one you could sell me. It's for a 300EX, Thanks."

Dear#####, Yeah. I probally have about a dozen of them lieing around here and there. If interested, holler back at me. $50.00 plus shipping.

"Sorry KNOWSALOT, but I only need one, but could use another one for a spare just in case ya know. I'll take two of them."

OK...I'll send you two of them for $100.00 plus shipping then. Call me at ######## tomorrow and we will work out the details.

"Ya know what KNOWSALOT?? First it was $50.00 for a dozen and now it's $100.00 for two. Tell ya what, take your own one hundred dollar bill and roll it real nice and tight so its firm and small , then take the thing and shove#$@$^%&%#%"

I was very polite in answering your useless and sometimes dumb questions on the forum and now you want to screw with me?? The offer was that I have ABOUT a dozen axles. If you want one, then it will be $50.00..if you want two it's $100.00. What's the part you didn't get right?? If you have looked anywhere at all, you will not find a dozen axles anywhere for just $50.00.....I took it that common sense would tell you that. I would tell you what to do with YOUR one hundred dollar bill, but it's quite obvious that you don't have one nor will you have one anytime soon. Study hard and stay in school.......please.

Sincerely,
KNOWSALOT

That is some good stuff knowsalot.

This is at your expense- Last year in a thread with corndog he called you "hired help". The way that was written i almost fell out of the chair.


My most memorable moment was the night i put my cell phone number for all to see. Mickey Dunlop (owner of Four Stroke TECH) called me up reguading the thread in process. He was not thrilled with my responces. Then there were the other 50 members of the site calling to borrow money.....

1 forum member was going to have me banned. I will not tell you his name.. ah it was scoody.

14mins,

Oh yeah....the "hired help" catch phrase..how could I forget.

I felt like the set-up worker guy who sifts through the trash out back trying to find the masterlink clip that the mechanic lost...LOL

BUT...In the end....it was the "hired help" who pushed the frankenfurter on a stick over the edge and caused him to post wildly until he lost all control and got sucked into the big vaccuum leak in the sky was it not???

BTW, Loan me a grand till next pay day.

The clasic started about the 770 powroll and went forever. 14mins almost got his banning in that thread. Over 400 post and maybe 10 on he subject. Another one was about the DS's that had never been beat by a Raptor and then thy never beat a Raptor after December 3rd 2001. They still keep coming back to have fun.

Knowsalot- The thing that strikes me as funny- I figured frankenfurter would sign up under a different name and continue on.

IT IS SLOW TONIGHT

14 mins,

Yeah, he did come back under a couple of new names for about a week after he was banned, but they kept banning him.

Eventually he gave up...........or did he???

You found out that dubya1 is corndogs daddy, but did you also know that dubya1 is George W. Bush's child by a previous encounter?? Yeeeeeah...that's right. Smitty found this one out for me.

That makes CornDog the illegigimate grandson of the President. Remember that he lived in Florida?? That's right....Great uncle Jeb is keeping him underwraps until granpappy's term is over.

I find these forums to be extremly informative at times.

Also, there is great news over in the Cannondale forum. KNOWSALITTLE, a.k.a. Mini Me, has arrived on the scene.

I haven't seen anything much from him, but he seems to know very little.

Yup, some good times gone bad.

The poweroll 770 kit leads in my opion.

Corndog is alive and kicking still as sleeping catfish at exriders, same crap different board.

Dubya1 is at Thumper Talks and made a transition, not really sure if he's Corndog dad, thoughjust did it cause on the news they said George dubya Bush.

I have had just a blast with this forum, as well as the chat room.

I realy was surprised to see old classmates and friends from back home (moved away a life time ago) here and now I feel like I'm back home alot.

My most classic laugh off here was when I was spelling stock as stalk. A kid came on one day and asked me why. I didn't realize I was doing it. At the time I was doing alot of machanical design wich made me use the word stalk alot and I don't know, just brain fart I guess.

My mind bogling time was the one time some one started a thread saying Gaff doesn't know chit or something like that. In the thread he said I was a idiot because I said a raptor would beat a blaster. I never remember saying it (although it's common sense) but he kept it up and PM me every day untill some one kicked him.

I have had a blast and met alot of friends and learned alot here. Hope this place stays.

Oh yah. For the first time in my life I have learned to absolutely hate hondas, don't know what I mean, just go to the honda forum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

posts we regret? well...maybe one...it was a post in the BOMB forum "DS650 + Jumping" by mudmunster...although i stand by every word i posted...i regret trying to explain my sense of humor to a moderator. it's pretty humorous...if i remember correctly he warned me about personal attacks on Canadians and went on to remind everyone that Canada is one of our closest friends and how are borders are open to each other. Yawn.

i quess it did'nt help that the moderator was from Can-merica...if you want a good laugh...look it up...not my proudest moment...but true to my nature.
