This will be my 12th to the last post on the main board!
 
This will be my last post on the main board! It's makes know senses for me to continue, I'm just a target for some’ disgruntled collectors who only use me for there daily persona punching bag.

The pre- war' industry is mostly full of nice people even though some member can’t stand me? (No ones perfect including my "selfish")... Yes I'm also surprised I lasted this long! Why sure I care if know else does??

I have never lied or stole’ still some collector consider me a treat… Well the bored is all yours, free from Brad’s mind, what a waste!

I'm only human! The punching bag has finally droped!

Hi,
I am just one little voice here, but I hope you will stay here. Net54 is a great community and I value you as a member.
See you around,

Ditto that -- if people want to stop posting so be it. But I guess angry people like to slam doors.

Thanks for the heads up. I am grief stricken. My condolences to the board. Please help yourselves to a tissue.

To quote a wise, valued and dear member of the board:

"When the meteors kill the dinosaurs off of this board, that will be a day the board moves into a new epoch... a time when the collective knowledge has been significantly diminished."

Alas, with this announcement, I fear the propesized day has arrived.

Brad, if you're really leaving, since you won't be needing it, can I have your demerit?

Good rule of thumb for the board - by default read all of Jeff's posts assuming sarcasm was intended; only if reading it sarcastically isn't possible should you assume he was being literal.

Yeah… I made a homophobic thread years ago and I think it’s was called (What’s the Gayest looking prewar baseball card)… D304 Fred Markle was my pick!



I thought it would’ve been a funny thread but I quickly realizes there’s a lot of homosexuals on the board who were offended and for that I am truly SORRY. I meant no harm and quickly realizes a WAR was brewing (DAMN!).. Living in Vancouver B.C. the San Francisco of the North West I should of known better!!! I have no problems with anyone here on the board and sexual orientation should be the last thing on peoples mind same with race. It just doesn’t matter!

The thread I post years ago would be like a red neck posting who’s the blackest ball player in baseball (((Frank Thomas))). I guess most black people or mixed have tough skin and it takes a lot to offend. My motto is if there's not a brick through the windows everything is fine (SLAM)!

I didn’t know how to spell very well 3years ago due to a reading disability that’s why I posted YouTube clips in my defense. Now that have improve and able to write my thoughts in detail. Believe me I’m not a raciest or a homophob, just a guy how made a misstep in the wrong place!

I have been reading this thread with a mix of emotions, but Brad's last post made me laugh out loud.

Leon 10-06-2009 11:44 AM
homophones?
 
A double yikes on the homophones issue. I guess "not that there is anything wrong with a homophone". I am sure they have been called worse. I used to be a waiter, before my IT days, and we had lots of homophones working there......They were usually easy to get along with....Actually, I have some good friends that are homophones.... :eek:

Brad- you ought to hang around....everyone gets ragged on every now and then. But if you decide to go you are always welcome back whenever you want to....take care

btw, this sort of reminds me of the ole Gilda Radner (RIP) skits...............bitch

Brad- I don't think anybody hates you...well, I can't speak for everyone, but I don't hate you- but when you make a comment (to paraphrase) such as "I know there are a lot of homosexuals on the board"- well you are going to get yourself in repeated hot water...not to mention the "Frank Thomas is very black" thing. These quips won't make you new friends.

My favorite Frank Thomas story... (apologies to Al C. who heard this one last week.)


In 1962 the NY Mets had the worst team in the history of baseball, but they had a HOF centerfielder in Richie Ashburn. Several times, early in the season, Ashburn had been run over by shortstop Elio Chacon, while chasing pop-ups. After one bruising collision, he went to the coaches. He was told that Chacon spoke no English, so instead of yelling "I got it!", he should yell "Yo la tengo!"

Ashburn called a players meeting, with translators, and they agreed to this change.

Next game, along comes a pop-up. Asbburn comes charging in yelling "Yo la tengo! Yo la tengo!" Out of the corner of his eye he sees Chacon slam on the brakes. He reaches for the pop and gets steam-rollered by left fielder Frank Thomas. Thomas spoke no Spanish and... had skipped the players meeting. Ball drops. Batter is on second. Runners have scored.

As he helps Ashburn to his feet, Thomas says to him, "What the hell is a yellow tango?"

Barry,

Think this whole homophone thing started because I posted a Freddy Mercury picture?

It wasn't the Freddy Mercury photo, it was the red sticker next to him that says "12-inch Maxi single". ;)

Well, I'm confused...
 
Your title reads that this is your next to 12th last post on this board, yet your post begins with the sentence that this is the last post on the board.

???

Please be concise and consistent when stating your goals, otherwise you risk being misunderstood and possibly rendered irrelevant.

If it's your 12th to last post, then I anxiously await the topics of your final 11!
If this was your last, then we bid farewell. I have no idea who you are or what you've contributed or what set you off, but best of luck in future travels!

Leon changed it to "12th to last" after it became apparent that Brad was continuing to post, despite his initial ominous threat to the contrary.

In Brad's defense I changed the title after he had posted several more times. I was just trying to help another collector out.....all in fun, which is what the hobby is supposed to be about, lest we forget?

We should have learned by now that although mankind can split the atom and Yoko can split up the Beatles, there is no splitting up the following: Kato and Nash, Tango and Cash, Brad and Net54.

I have to agree. Some people are way too sensitive and others are too quick to jump on people for basically irrelevant comments. For a group of adults that collect and discuss baseball cards some people take it WAY too seriously! Everyone should just calm down and enjoy the hobby the way it was meant to be. :)

Can't quite tell if you're taking a shot at me or not, but FWIW, while I did see that Leon had edited the post, I chose to write mine anyway, since Leon didn't describe what he was correcting in his edit line notation...just having some fun with it all.

A Venn diagram of the groups he offended yields the fact that he actually only hates Sammy Davis Junior.

Maybe it's not so bad after all.

Correct terminology is:

calvindog 10-07-2009 09:39 AM
Matt, you've got a great memory. Next, Jim's joke was a pale comparison to mine and unoriginal; however, putting up that video of an incredibly obscure, early 70s(?) annoyingly horrible song that was completely forgotten by me (but now will live with me forever) deserves some serious merit -- and of course it is completely applicable to the situation at hand.
