A Cautionary Tale

My name is my own, no cosmetic changes. Some prefer anonymity, some don't. The Geek is a participant in the Federal Witless Protection program. I gather others may be too? Are you the fellow sending lard bombs to NC that I have read of?

I have ceased and desisted tossing such bombs. I no longer make fun of North Carolingians; I reek of civility. I will however, continue to try and amuse. If I bruise anyone, I haven't meant to since the gory, gaudy,gruesome days of the Forums Flame Wars.

I sometimes wonder if that mysterious photo is actually of gull...posted in an attempt to throw people off. Hmm? I plan to take a photo of me and the pigeon this weekend at the meet. You'll be able to tell who chickenhawk is - he'll be the dude in the $400 FSII crying. I'll be the one drinking the hot Starbucks. And, since he's taking his cardiac road show to Austin I'll have to wait til May of 2008 to twist him up like a pretzel again.

I'm not really the fish in my avatar, but don't tell anyone. And if someone finds my inner fish, please ask her to phone home. btw, Is there, by any chance, another way to access the CNN story? When I opened the link, it said "page not available" or some such. I want to be ready with my kickboard in case I see the perps.

Is your name real? Is anyone using their real names on this forum or just posting anonymously? I assume that Ande's and George's and Terry's names are real? I feel that I should even take my first name off at this point. Gull is my real nickname. My avatar is a photo of an actual gull. The picture I posted of Geek on another thread was deleted.

It isn't deleted. I found it the other day looking and surfing for something. Its #80. You can still have a good laugh. Is it Geek or Gull? forums.usms.org/showthread.php Thanks Frank! I had another laugh. The identity issue is still a mystery, but hopefully Geek will be kind enough to post the picture he's taking at the upcoming "duel in the pool"/500 "guitar smashing" showdown on this thread so we are not all left hanging! Since they are both anonymous now, we cannot look up their times. I guess you may be able to because you probably recall their names before they went anonymous. I think I recall Gull's. I notice they haven't posted their times on the "lifetime bests" thread. Why, neither have you!

I plan to take a photo of me and the pigeon this weekend at the meet. You'll be able to tell who chickenhawk is - he'll be the dude in the $400 FSII crying. I'll be the one drinking the hot Starbucks. I'm sure we all happily await those pictures! Especially now that Speedo Man is deleted. What a shame. I had a good laugh every time I say that picture. Isn't Gull in a different age group than you, Geek? I thought it was just sprinters that were obsessed with caffeine. Don't spill that hot coffee on yourself. Not that you'd ever hire a lawyer... I am a sprinter girl. Fortress is my real name (Leslie) translated. My practice nickname is Little Mermaid. Unlike Geek, however, I am not a movie character.

here's the link www.songramp.com/.../viewtrack.php let me know what you think of it ande Some days, I'm not so sure. Ande told me a friend of his had written a song entitled "What's it gonna take to get a Hooters in this town?" That pretty much sums up the way of thinking in the (nameless) town where I live. On the other hand, if it takes you more than five minutes to get somewhere, you're lost.
