I think (I hope) we approach a newb with a question sincerely at first. That's not easy, because in most cases we've already answered the exact same question dozens of times. (Which is why other forums seem so dry...their experienced guys lost patience decades ago. The answer to every question is "search". A forum stops being a forum when it becomes a reference library).

Think of it like this. You walk into a saloon and see a bunch of guys playing poker. It's clear they've been playing together a long time. You just learned how to play poker. You approach the table and say "Hey guys, I just discovered poker and I have a lot of questions! Can I play?"

Sure. Have a seat.

Now if your approach is to complain that we're lousy poker teachers, and argue with every attempt we make to show you the game, then yeah, we do have the capacity to be first class a-holes. Mostly Dave. Like if we were the Beatles, Dave would be John Lennon, I'd be McCartney and ATC would be George Harrison, and we're constantly auditioning Ringos.

I'd be John Lennon? I don't even like the Beatles that much. Plus, I really don't think I'd have the stomach to look at or touch Yoko Ono, much less bang that old wrinkly body. Although I've heard that she gives good gummies.

I'm more like Jim Morrison....a constant antagonizer with a lot of raw talent that not enough people appreciate.

Mike5215

Fine. I'm Ray Manzarek and ATC is Robbie Densmore.

Also, there must be a certain cadence said card game. Anything can be made to be dry. The soul of a forum is the sum energy of their members.

I hear you there Dave.

I am really glad to see this thread resurrected. Lots of entertainment value here. Early on the OP got lots of good advise then criticized the content and source. So be it. Game on from there.

Next.

OP's tranny would have never blown if he had those amazing cooper tires

Mike5215

My life was saved when a Cooper tire, totally out of the blue, donated a kidney. I wouldn't expect a mid grade budget tire to be a match, much less even have internal organs, but I'm here today because of the selfless act of Cooper Zeon.

praise to that selfless Cooper Zeon. Should have more like that in the world. It would be such a better place.

DaveW68

Let's not get too out of hand here. Cooper Zeon was a low-life poor gang-banger on the South side of Chicago. The only reason you got that kidney is because some cop shot him mistakenly because he thought he looked like General Grabber. You're very fortunate that Jessie Jackson got involved and convinced the family to donate his organs. Although I'm sure that if Jessie would have known that some white guy with a sharp tongue would have received one of the organs, the circumstances would have been very different.
