Well?

Define the problem, name a poster with whom you disagree, then post the common decision you reach to solve the problem defined...

I am good at providing solutions.



I am less good at providing solutions that everybody likes.

“name a poster with whom you disagree,”

Tom Terrific

“Define the problem,“

His blatant communist anti_Americanism

“then post the common decision you reach to solve the problem defined..."

He switches sides, becomes a member of the Log Cabin gang and he stops wetting his liberal bed.


LOL! OK Tom, your turn! Tear me up big boy! 8)

always room for improvement Bit...
My point exactly...let's expend a little of the energy we use to trash each others point of view to agree to disagree and work at the SOLUTIONS.

I have been avoiding the poli threads because it’s the same bull shat being slung by the same people. They are all the same and go the same direction, nowhere. I’m just feeling froggy today is all.

In addition I believe it becomes obvious as to who starts the bull crap threads for no other reason to get everyone fighting. Violin. He drops a controversial cut and paste, gets the ball rolling and he just sits back and watches the mud fly. Recognizing that he is a troll out to get his own kicks is a good start to a solution. Don’t fall for his stupid s h I t in the first place. His threads just get others to start up similar ones from the other side of the political spectrum.

me and a buddy on another board that has the same drama as in here thought up this plan while out playing pool and having a few brews.

When you sign on you get an alloted # of off subject post a week/month.
Topic oriented post were unlimited.
Additional off topic post were awarded for certain things.
*Attend a "trip" earn 5 post
*Review a new piece of gear earn 2 post
*Post a report of a trip earn 2 post
*share new info or fave info on a location that others may enjoy earn 3 post.

Basically it rewards positive activity, and encourages the sharing of information...that's what these boards are for...as well as entertainment and community..but i prefer them for Info first and foremost.

Like i said..we were a tad hammered, when we dreamed this up..but it sounded great at the time..we were just fed up with the constant bickering, fighting, and just plain out being babies.
oh endless useless threads and no info.

with our plan you can still cut up and be an @$$..you just gotta hike for it!..lol and if you can't get out as much..find a few tidbits of info and post it for us..pull out some old gear and tell us about it and why it's good or why it sucks...then you get 2-3 post to tell why france sucks and make fun of whoever.

If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

JULES: You sendin' The Wolf?
MARSELLUS Feel better?

THE WOLF:
You're Jimmie, right? This is your house?
JIMMIE
Yeah.
THE WOLF
(stick his hand out)
I'm Winston Wolf, I solve problems.
JIMMIE
Good, 'cause we got one.
THE WOLF
So I heard. May I come in?
JIMMIE
Please do.
The two men walk to the dining room.
THE WOLF
I want to convey Mr. Wallace's
gratitude with the help you're
providing on this matter. Let me
assure you Jimmie, Mr. Wallace's
gratitude is worth having.

In the dining room, Jules and Vincent stand up.
THE WOLF
You must be Jules, which would make
you Vincent. Let's get down to brass tacks, gentlemen. If I was
informed correctly, the clock is
ticking, is that right, Jimmie?
JIMMIE
100%.
THE WOLF
Your wife, Bonnie...
(refers to his pad)
...comes home at 9:30 in the AM, is
that correct?
JIMMIE
Uh-huh.
THE WOLF
I was led to believe if she comes
home and finds us here, she wouldn't appreciate it none too
much.

JIMMMIE
She won't at that.

THE WOLF
That give use forty minutes to get
the f-ck outta Dodge, which, if you
do what I say when I say it, should
by plenty. Now you got a corpse in
a car, minus a head, in a garage.
Take me to it.
THE WOLF
Jimmie?
JIMMIE
Yes.
THE WOLF
Do me a favor, will ya? Thought I
smelled some coffee in there.
Would you make me a cup?
JIMMIE
Sure, how do you take it?
THE WOLF
Lotsa cream, lotsa sugar.
Jimmie exists. The Wolf continues his examination.
THE WOLF
About the car, is there anything I
need to know? Does it stall, does
it make a lot of noise, does it
smoke, is there gas in it, anything?
JULES
Aside from how it looks, the car's
cool.
THE WOLF
Positive? Don't get me out on the
road and I find out the brake
lights don't work.

JULES
Hey man, as far as I know, the
m-therf-cker's tip-top.
THE WOLF
Good enough, let's go back to the
kitchen.
Jimmie hands The Wolf a cup of coffee.
THE WOLF
Thank you, Jimmie. He takes a sip, then, pacing as he thinks.
THE WOLF
Okay first thing, you two.
(meaning Jules and Vincent)
Take the body, stick it in the
trunk. Now Jimmie, this looks to
be a pretty domesticated house.
That would lead me to believe that
in the garage or under the sink,
you got a bunch of cleaners and
cleaners and #&%!$ like that, am I
correct?

JIMMIE
Yeah. Exactly. Under the sink.
THE WOLF
Good. What I need you two fellas
to do is take those cleaning
products and clean the inside of
the car. And I'm talkin' fast,
fast, fast. You need to go in the
backseat, scoop up all those little
pieces of brain and skull. Get it
out of there. Wipe down the
upholstery -- now when it comes to
upholstery, it don't need to be
spic and span, you don't need to
eat off in. Give it a good once
over. What you need to take care
of are the really messy parts. The
pools of blood that have collected,
you gotta soak that sh-t up. But
the windows are a different story.
Them you really clean. Get the
Windex, do a good job. Now Jimmie,
we need to raid your linen closet.
I need blankets, I need comforters,
I need quilts, I need bedspreads.
The thicker the better, the darker
the better. No whites, can't use
'em. We need to camouflage the
interior of the car. We're gonna
line the front seat and the
backseat and the floor boards with
quilts and blankets. If a cop
stops us and starts stickin' his
big snout in the car, the
subterfuge won't last. But at a
glance, the car will appear to be
normal.
Jimmie -- lead the way,
boys -- get to work.
The Wolf and Jimmie turn, heading for the bedroom, leaving
Vincent and Jules standing in the kitchen.

VINCENT
(calling after him)
A "please" would be nice.
The Wolf stops and turns around.
THE WOLF
Come again?
VINCENT
I said a "please" would be nice.

The Wolf takes a step toward him.

THE WOLF
Set is straight, Buster. I'm not
here to say "please." I'm here to
tell you want to do. And if self-
preservation is an instinct you
possess, you better f-ckin' do it
and do it quick. I'm here to help.
If my help's not appreciated, lotsa
luck gentlemen.
JULES
It ain't that way, Mr. Wolf. Your
help is definitely appreciated.
VINCENT
I don't mean any disrespect. I
just don't like people barkin'
orders at me.
THE WOLF
If I'm curt with you, it's because
time is a factor. I think fast, I
talk fast, and I need you guys to
act fast if you want to get out of
this. So pretty please, with sugar
on top, clean the f-ckin' car.
