Somehow this escaped me previously. Let me get this straight... Hang on a minute... Now I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but just how many armed men were forcing you to read said political posts? 20, 30 of em? I reckon I'd have ta read em too if I was that outgunned. Or maybe, juuust maybe... you coulda chosen to change the channel by not going into the political tread? Maybe? What is it with these folks who wanna spend all day rootin around in other folks bidness, just a HOPIN they can find somethin, ANYTHING, they can disagree with, and therefore OUTLAW? I seen that dude smokin a cigarette from a mile away!!! That offends my sensibilities. ARREST THAT MAN!!! WTFO?
I appreciate the compliments y'all. Metard, I apologize in advance for the word count... I just honestly don't get them folks. Just compartmentalize, dude. Surfin here, drinkin there, politics there, chasin sheep on wooden surfborts there, etc. Any box you don't like, kindly stay out. If we fight when we're in one box, don't mean squat when we're in another box. We can fight like a mofo in the politics box, yet be in complete, unbreakable, agreement when in the Coco Ho Surfs Whilst Wearing Green Translucent Shrink Wrap box, uh tread. Didn't wanna get Coco Ho and box in the same sentence there. Get locked up again. If somebody fights back hard, it just means they fight back hard. Not that they're insane or somethin. Remember that old cartoon? The sheep dog and the wolf are fightin all day, the "factory" whistle blows, they punch the clock, and it's like "Good night, Ralph..." No more fightin. I'm ramblin, but some folks just need to lighten up. Or, like one o' y'all said in the mountain bike tread, get in shape and grow a pair. Just sayin.
Nice selective quoting... way to take things out of context. It was nice not having a single political topic on the first page of the forum. It was also nice not being consistently called a beta male or other similarly insecure emasculated name. I can see all that is coming back thanks to Fungus. Couldn't let a good thing continue, had to kick a hornets nest and bring back the likes Yankee, WSA, etc. I'll make one thing clear... there is and never was anything good natured about most of the attacks launched on political topics... on the left or right. I was happy to see them gone.
Come on man, most of us live on the east coast and there is simply not enough to talk about. My last few days, wind swell. Do you want to hear about my 5 second rides, really??? And all the other stuff you can easily read on dedicated surf sites, why recycle here? What that leaves IMO is crap talking and YES good natured fun. Some people don't take it that way (the tears of the moron trio) but that is their issue.
