    Could you repeat that, please? ;)

    SOME boards are like that - that's why I enjoy getting on this board. For the most part, everyone is civil and don't get all worked up over little things.

    I always view the classifieds in a couple of local boards (Houston, TX). A lot of times, these kids wanna sell NICE stuff for next to nothing (even trade for beer posts :eek:).

    I sometimes wonder over to the 'open forum'. Man, talk about DRAMA! Jeez!

    But I have to agree, places like www.DFWstangs.net and www.corral.net do exactly what you described.

    People hiding behind their pc's.

    It is SO a "message board" you idiotic moron! WTF do you think "MMB" in "http://mmb.maverick.to" means? "Maverick Message Board"!

    Just a sec....hhmmm...

    Oh yeah, "I'm calling you out!". Meet me at the Wal-mart parking lot at 10:02:34 tonight. Don't be "skeeeered". Note: You gotta give me real-estate. I can use the dope and someone elses car (I don't have one of my own right now but I will in a couple of years - maybe). You have to run on motor only, retard your timing to -10 degrees. You also have to run your front runners on the rear, and I get the move. Dont' be "skeeered!"

    One more....

    That POS you drive is a slug! You did everything on it wrong that was possible. I know it, EVERYbody knows it.

    Hang on... (please be patient with me as I'm not quite used to this sort of thing).

    Oh, yeah, my girlfriend and your momma are doing things they shouldn't - basket weaving passed 9:00 on week nights. You know it's so, don't deny it!

    If I'm not at the Wal-mart parking lot by 10:03 p.m. tonight, I'm probably basket weaving with your mom and my girlfriend (my g/f just came in and said for me to type that or go to bed. Otherwise, the race would be SO on, DOODE!)

    I've attached a picture of my friend's buddy's Uncle's car so you'll recognize it in the parking lot (if I'm allowed to go).

    ;) ;) ;)

    I feel like I walked into the middle of a movie. If I didn't know better, I'd say Rick's off his medication. They do wonderful things with the Zene sisters these days. You know...Thorazine, Stelazine, and so on.

    LOL guys! Just having fun and playing on the drama theme of other boards.


    You guys know me better than that. Rarely do I get upset. I'm too old and life's too short.
