I know what you mean.  My post count seems awfully low...

 

The reputation stuff still messes with my head.  At first I thought it was saying you only have 985 posts.  That's off by at least an order of magnitude compared to your "idiot" count alone.

not where I usually shop.     

Gronk was crying when he found out his castle got broken into?

 

AWWWE  get a freaking security system  you big wussy.  It's not like he couldn't afford it.  

 

Or were you referring to his backside?  

Exactly... I know when my sump pump is going off via my phone.  What did somebody bust in ala Watergate and steal the goods on The Pats** cheating ways? To cover their tracks?

Safes, guns?  

 

Multimillion dollar home  and zero security?   

 

You can’t fix stupid.

I've been a member of this place since 2003 and I feel like I post pretty regularly.  How is it my post count is still around 7,500?  I think somebody's messing with my numbers.

You can't multi-task well enough.:P

 

I am locking 10,000 tons of cargo, watching three bald eagles compete for open icy water with the other birds...

 

...On top of me talking to a new deckhand on the towboat, who, after I detected his Irish brogue is from The Troubles in Northern Island...Interesting talk we had... 

 

All while clearing ice, snow, and putting the lock tonnage data into the Oracle database... AND rambling on this site.

 

Am I stepping up my A-Game for tangential meanderings?  Heck, my whole life has been one big tangential meandering...

 

You need to step up your post count Cugala... We are in the Smartphone area!

 

:D... BUT, I have NEVER stepped foot on Facebook. This here is the extent of my gratuitous social media existence. <_<

 

 

I think he is ready to go back and deal with the Brit BS after talking to me...:o

is that why you lodged a complaint to SDS? 

 

Fergy and I were joking around and then we both had  over 100 rep points stripped away (back to zero). there may have been one or two others caught up too. 

Fergy was pissed and stayed off the site for over a week.

It looks like my rep number is pretty low, but that’s just because I recently rolled over the nines.

Restrictor plate racing is a joke.

So is having a carb in 2018.

 

The Daimler Benz DB601 series of engines (first made in 1935) in the Messerschmitt BF-109 fighter planes of WWII had evolved beyond carbs with mechanical fuel injection.  

 

That was 83 years ago. 

 

NASCAR might want to look into the technology.

So, now I hear women with cramps are persons non grata on Air Eremites flights 

 

Woman kicked off Emirates flight for having menstrual pain

 

Beth Evans says she and her boyfriend were removed from the flight to Dubai after a crew member overheard that she was having menstrual cramps

One of my fav Frost poems:

 

Mending Wall

BY ROBERT FROST

 

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,

And spills the upper boulders in the sun;

And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

The work of hunters is another thing:

I have come after them and made repair

Where they have left not one stone on a stone,

But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,

To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,

No one has seen them made or heard them made,

But at spring mending-time we find them there.

I let my neighbour know beyond the hill;

And on a day we meet to walk the line

And set the wall between us once again.

We keep the wall between us as we go.

To each the boulders that have fallen to each.

And some are loaves and some so nearly balls

We have to use a spell to make them balance:

"Stay where you are until our backs are turned!"

We wear our fingers rough with handling them.

Oh, just another kind of out-door game,

One on a side. It comes to little more:

There where it is we do not need the wall:

He is all pine and I am apple orchard.

My apple trees will never get across

And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.

He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."

Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder

If I could put a notion in his head:

"Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it

Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know

What I was walling in or walling out,

And to whom I was like to give offence.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him,

But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather

He said it for himself. I see him there

Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top

In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.

He moves in darkness as it seems to me,

Not of woods only and the shade of trees.

He will not go behind his father's saying,

And he likes having thought of it so well

He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

What is theme of this thread?  Can someone help here?  Anyone? Please.

It's kind of like a variant of Last Post Wins.  But instead of just posting random stuff, I think it's supposed to be in the form of angry incoherent ramblings similar to something Exiled In Illinois would post

Incoherent... But never angry.  Just with a rough edge.

Why was Tom Brady going to Dubai?

 

And how awesome is it that I type "Tom" on my phone and the first auto-complete option is "Petty sucks!"

I tried typing fat fingers on my phone the other day....    I never knew how racist my phone was 

 

my post came out as   Fat Free ngers
