You guys seem to be mistaking Bud for beer. It's ok, a lot of people make the same mistake. I worked as a bartender for a summer in a small redneck town in Alberta called Milk River. If any of y'all are from there I'll piss myself laughing. If you're still there the laughter will be directed towards you. Anyways, I'm a bit of a smart ass which I'm sure people who've read some of my posts can confirm. This on occation gets me in trouble.

So this big burly 'merican trucker comes in with his deep southern drawl that makes him sound like he's been hit in the mouth with a baseball bat a few too many times as a child. And he asks what type of beer I got. List out the list, several flavors of labbats, molsen, big rock, and so on. And I finish and he's like, "What about Bud? Y'all saying ya don't got any Bud?" Well yeah we got bud, but I thought you wanted beer. Oh man, I swear the anger that flashed in his eyes was enough to kill a kitten. Man, I got a lecture about the history and greatness of that so called 'beer' for a good 5 minutes while the regulars were pissing themselves laughing. Hopefully not litterally, but some of them you might never tell.

Anyways, useless story.




As soon as he finished his lecture, you should have said: "Well, we have a tom-cat down here under the bar, and as soon as he needs to go, we'll fill a bottle up for you."

American Beer is like Wine in a Box. Cheap, watered down, and a waste of alcohol.

Hmm, I guess I have to apologize to the rest of the known universe for some of my fellow southerners. Despite what you may think, and may have actually seen, many of us have family trees that fork. Many of us appreciate the finer things in life, which does not necessarily include flanel, crappy beer, John Deer hats, _rooster_ fights, drunken idiocy with or without firearms. In addition many of us have not been featured on Cops, Girls Gone Wild, or America's Most Wanted. Some of us can even speak well enough to use words with more than three sylables, and properly pronounce the word "nuclear". *sigh*




Stereotypes 4TW!

I'm a Southerner myself. Deep Southern Oklahoma, close enough to Texas that the border doesn't really matter. I like to think of myself as fairly intelegent and articulate, not extremely, but enough.

Anyway, I've met a few guys like who was described. I definately have some trailer trash in part of my family. Luckily, they're not closely related, but... they are in the same town.

Yes, but the radial menu takes ages to pop up (you have to look through the screen!)

I noticed the tantalizingly innocuous thread, "She is *so* (edited here to correct title) Precious" is "locked." Now, what does this mean? I assume it is something you do to threads you don't like, if you're a mod, but why not just delete it? Locking it, as I see, only stops further discussion on the issue, but allows everyone to see what was discussed...which, brings up the one question I won't ask for fear of being banned or something, is why was it locked?

I am merely asking for clarification on forum posting protocol and not in anyway criticizing the fabulous SOE and it's hard-working and honorable employees, OR making any reference to the byproduct of adding yeast, sugar and hops in distilled water and generally round shaped baked goods with crust and filled with cherries, apple, cream, boysenberries, huckleberrys, rhubarb, beef, chicken, cashews, curry, pork, duck, duck, goose, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, currants of all kinds, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, lemon, key lime (or any other lime) and crow.

Means it hasn't offended any of the mods enough to delete the thread. But, to insure that it doesn't get to the boiling point and no one fans the flames any further, they put the clamps to it.

I means you should thank your lucky stars that you didn't get banned, too.

This thread just got locked up over on the Ranger Forum. Simply astounding at the arbitrary nature of these lock downs. If this was forum wide policy, we'd have more locks on us than Houdini.

hehe that "She is so precious" thread was by me.
it was about my girlfriend's observations on how we're not actually Smugglers, because we can't Smuggle.

and also about how she was getting her hair cut by a guy named Jedi.

he ended up giving her a bad haircut, and she was pissed off. and of course i got the brunt of her anger.
yet another reason i don't like Jedi

Now, now, now.... adding these 3 things might be taking it a lil to far


There is nothing wrong with a good flanel, John Deer hats or drunken idiocy AS LONG as you dont end up on Cops, Girls Gone Wild or AMW in the process

What we really need is a secret language that we can post in. And some way to decipher what everyone is saying. hehe.






There is a way.


Here's how...


Everyone needs to arrange their posts so that the first letter of every line spells a word.



Done properly, it enables covert communication.


Everyone can say what they mean without being noticed by Big Brother.


Very clever, don't you think?


Such a code has certain advantages:



Simple to do.


Undetectable if you don't know the code.


Communication is unhindered.


Keyboard is all that's required.
