Big Apology

“Chili, we don't need to know that you enjoy long moonlit walks on the beach ---”

“If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape ... what side are you supposed to be on?”

“Dammit tilt, I was figuring I degenerate this thread to a personals ad.

That would constitute the ultimate thread hijacking on TT.”

“How's this....

I was on a blind date and That Song came on the radio... and the girl asked me what a '#&%!$ colossus' was.”

“"...granted some of the true heroes on this site like Ped, Marko et al ( I am included in there) pretty much have a running fued"

XL

If we have a running feud, it only runs one way. I've got nothing personal against you. Sometimes it frustrates me that you can't ever admit making mistakes or being wrong, but that's no big deal. You like to throw insults my way, but to me that always just seems like trash talk - it never seems mean spirited to me.

“Well said, pedxing.”

“There goes Chili: degenerating his own degeneration,

         PHTT!”

“I note its slowly starting to creep out that it was an arcane reference to an old joke meaning...TOTALLY UNINTENTIONAL.

Actually, that seemed obvious to a lot of us from the start. I hadn't heard that joke, but I'd even told one with the same basic punch line. I was in a movie theater when this guy with a big popcorn and soda decides he wants to sit in the center of the aisle so he shuffles in between people. He steps on the toe of a lady three seats over from me, and she says "ouch. that hurt - watch where your stepping." The guy says, "geez lady it was a frickin accident - I'm just trying to get a decent seat and I can't see your feet in the dark, why don't you pull 'em back under the seat so they are out of the way next time." So she yells at the guy that next time he comes late to a movie he should take a seat that doesn't involve squeezing by some many people and then other people get into the act.

The guy was right, it was an accident, he couldn't see her feet in the dark and it might be a good idea for her to pull her feet under the chair next time - or stand up - when someone wants to scoot by. Still, the guy missed the point and missed an opportunity to show a little class.”

“Tilt, too bad you didn't have my home address. You could have come by and let her see for herself”

“I knew I could count on you, LOL”

“Anyway.... Why does this entire episode remind me of Richard Nixon?

Poor Damage Control.”

“NIXON...great and me without Checkers (LOL)....

I have a habit of not apologizing if I have done nothing wrong. Now in the future...I think it might be better to put the whole joke in.....

After 20 year of what I do you get a VERY thick skin insults, jokes and comments to me are just that. As for service time, thanks for all of what all of you did (lets not forget the amount of support it takes to win a war). I naturally assumed after some jokes here that most people looked at this site like I do. Its a fun place to go throw an occasional comment or insult and have a good time...but I never took it seriously. But if words typed by an alias have that effect on you...might want to take a second to reexamine your personal view of life.

Heck Ped, Violin, MarkO are a hoot. I have learned some fun comebacks here, plus even when we are all spewing 'rhetoric" from our side of the aisle we at least get to air thoughts.

Sarge knows my history, he knows what I did, why I did it. Now that was over 20 some years ago. Deep in the Cold War and I could care less about that part of my life. Regardless who you are and what you did in life it is situational. I have seen people break over Nothing (literally) and I have seen men and women who have been through literal hell in life come out glowing with life. There are people on here who have gone through some tough times they know who they are and they know who I am. I think I helped some.

If someone hates my guts (for my opinions) thats THEIR issue. I cannot effect what you do, all I can do is handle how I respond.”

“XL, you are not apologizing for what you thought you did or didn't do, you should apologize for the unintentional affect it had on someone you just wanted to amuse.”

“I am so sorry I ever addressed what XL said. From here on out you all can say I suck whatever you want to, I won't say a word. Now will you drop it already? please?
Sheesh.

There's pictures of the Grand Canyon to look at, Lizs to hound about coming up w/ the first subject for the camera contest and two words to come up with. Go....do that. And check out Hyways book, Alter Rock.

Because HE ROCKS!

“oKay!

So does Hyway 'rock' or has he been 'altered'?


One should ALWAYS have a Checkers Speech handy. I thought you watched C-SPAN at least occasionally. You must have either that or a custom version of the Sam Clemons classic 'the dog, not the chief' routine (preferably both).”

“OH ---- this'll fix ya.”

“BILK YOU!”

“Now you've done it ------”

“You and MarkO really need to move beyond the 60s-70s.
Time passes on.”

“POISONED!”

“(eighteen-sixties)”

“Where did the two lover birds do? I'm in my boxers for nothing?”

“Checkers Speech”

“What about these dry condition here in East TN, pretty bad isn't it?”

“as big a war hero as dick cheney it would appear.”

“XL on parade?

“YAWWWN...they won right?”

“They did win, plus they got to drive that pimped out RV through scenic East Germany.”

“and they got laid”

“first of all, i just want to apologize to the board for my part in the big ugly scene that took place on the minneapolis bridge thread, and to anyone who might have been offended by my cavalier attitude immediately preceding. i had not clicked on any links and did not realize the severity of the situation

finally, i want to apologize to anyone who i have been uncivil to in the past. even if the other person "started it" or "deserved it", the only right thing to do would have been to ignore it. i cannot hold anyone accountable for my actions but myself. if someone is being unkind, that is their problem and their bad karma, not mine. it is a struggle to remember that

those who can forgive me, i welcome you back as my friends, those who cant, please ignore me and we will go our separate ways

trying to be better

cb”

“If you'll accept my apologies as well then we have a deal crash bang.

What a great way to start the day!”

“deal”

“and what in the frazz are you doing up so early?”

“You threw out a few puns very early on before details became known. Hell, no need to apologize. It didn't even get ugly until Stovey grabbed his stirring stick and started posting.”

“no need to apologize

if i need to apologize to get my friend back, someone who matters to me, then thats what i'll do

its important that i do this”

“I under stand that. I should have said, I wasn't offended.”

““and what in the frazz are you doing up so early?”

Fighting a virus - got meds to take every so often.”

“have fun with that”

“Don't kiss him until he gets over that virus, Crash.”

“Jeeze Crash...looks to me like you made some comments, albeit uninformed, about the real situation.

Looks like a no harm no foul to me. Yeah it was horrible, but Man I can remember years ago when things like this were dealt with, with a level of graveyard humor....

Remember the Challenger, or dozens of other incidents where the jokes would ricochet around.”

“I was always uncomfortable with the way that was handled.”

“I don't know...remember the horrible Air Florida crash into the Potomac?


Within 12 hours I had heard the comments..

"What is the river Washington Could throw a quarter over but Air Florida can't fly over"

Then there was the Concorde crash in Europe

Where the comment was the Pilot was going to get the French Legion of Honor becuase they discovered he had probably killed more Germans than the entire French Airforce in World War II.


Look, I see some of the worst things happen to people that can on an almost daily occurrence. I see people handle it in so many different ways. We had a yuppie couple who had a SMALL...kitchen fire, yeah there was some water damage, some smoke damage but not a MAJOR loss. When I went back to finish some investigations the next morning the husband told me his wife was in a local hospital for Psychological Evaluation.


Then we had an elderly couple who lost literally EVERYTHING. (okay we did save some photos) we are standing there and the old man (like in his 80's) is looking just BORED. I am trying to be supportive and he says (with a small twinkle in his eye),"Don't tell the wife, But I hated the wall paper in the kitchen..I guess I get some new wall paper."

Heck he had lost everything a number of times in life...but he told me if he gave up then the fire REALLY was a disaster.”

“Look, I see some of the worst things happen to people that can on an almost daily occurrence. I see people handle it in so many different ways.

I knew this was coming. Because YOU see it doesn't mean gramma does or Little Sally or the newlywed ...

People do handle it different ways, and those "in the know", like you, have a greater responsibility than the rest to respect that, not for yourself, but for little Sally-Anne who just lost her father and mother.”
