2999 - Provoke Me - I Dare You
My next post will be considered a milestone by some. It really means nothing to me, except that the majority of my prior posts probably were necessary only to reach this number and most of them added very little to expanding the body of knowledge relevant to the hobby. I realize that fully. My post count is only indicative of the fact that I have been around for awhile, and have never been banned.;)
I have made a few friends and a few enemies along the way. You know who you are even if you are not sure which category you belong in. I currently have a sale pending on BST, which will be #500 for me in that section. That is a milestone that I am proud of. Being able to successfully complete that many transactions with only a few little bumps along the way is a tribute to all of you, who have dared to tango (it takes two) with me either as a buyer, a seller or a trader. So here is the deal. Many of my 2999 posts have been in response to a prior post. A few I wish I hadn't made, a few may have been helpful to some and many might be referred to by some as obscure humor. My next post will be in this thread. Not to disappoint those with high expectations I am going to be tough to provoke. It won't be a "+1" or a "lol", and hopefully it will not be too obscure. All I ask is that someone succeed in provoking me to post again, because I am not ready to go away. Have at it.:D |
Like the way Ty Cobb's hit total got reduced from an 'official' total of 4191 down to 4189, I think your post count is off by two. You are currently at 2,997.
Oh, and whatever political party you favor, you're wrong. I hate them. |
I guess it is a step down from semiprovoking
Frank, I'm afraid I can only amateurvoke you.

What would it take to antivoke you??

This reminds me of something a small business owner on Facebook would post to draw tertiary or quaternary friends they haven't seen in 12 years to post on their wall, thus improving their overall score in the algorithms and ensuring more of their posts make it back as advertising to their unwitting Rube friends. Nice social experiment.

I am not sure
With all due respect Frank,
You call yourself Frank B MD Are you certain it is not Frank B.M. D? And you know the medical term for BM! Certainly a weak attempt but an attempt nonetheless |
I read in a government document that you are suspected of shilling your 500 BST sales. You owe us the courtesy of addressing these allegations. :eek:

If nobody provokes Frank, he will be stuck at 2,999 forever and a day. He will "expire" too soon and unlike Clemente, never reach the vaunted 3,000 plateau. We could even start a new thread disparaging Frank quite vociferously and, based on his "threat" above, he could never respond. Hmmmmm. Interesting. Veeeeeerrrrrrrrrry Interesting. :D |

There's a similar story about Admiral Rickover. He was interviewing an officer who had applied for nuke school, and he told the applicant "You have two minutes to make me mad. Go." The officer began counting down from 120. At the 30 second mark, he began shoving the contents of Rickover's desk to the floor, breaking several items in the process. Rickover lept up and yelled "Ok, ok--I'm mad!" The officer was accepted into nuke school.

Being a fairly new guy here, I appreciated all the info I received to help me fit in, to learn, to help educate myself, but by the far the best info I received, which I still get occasionally, was the info I received to stay far away from Frank and any of his dealings!
I won't post the agonizing stories some members have had to endure dealing with him, but when I say, after reading only a couple of them, dealing with Frank on any matter, even if he promises far below market value on some of his cards, is something I will never consider, ever!! :eek: |
Well, this is probably as good a place as any to bring this up but, word on the street in the medical community is that Frank gets a little "hands on" while patients are under sedation...and I'm dead serious. I'm suspecting he won't wish to comment on this as it is currently under investigation at his hospital. I'll post a link shortly to the story that was posted in his local paper. Doesn't look too good for ole Frank.

Perhaps this will inspire you to pen a limerick or song lyric. Breanna does rhyme with banana I am told.

Found! a rare pic of Frank in action. Soon to be a shiny topps card with 1/1s in 10 colors, maybe more.

Well, I wasn't able to provoke Frank enough to post up number 3000, but he did PM me for the first time ever, twice, and, although I was somewhat joking in my first post, I will say what I wrote there appears to be more on the true side than on the fabricated side!! :eek:
One would think, since he is looking to be provoked, he would be a little bit more understanding, friendlier, nicer, but no, it looks like what I wrote about him hit a little closer to home than what I was anticipating! Frank, please quit PMing me, I really don't care to hear about your thoughts on Leon and the sh*tty job you think is doing with this site. Personally, I think Leon does a great job but if you think you could do so much better, then that is something you need to discuss with him, not me, nor anyone else for that matter! Right now, I could care less if I ever see your 3000th's post! Imo, I think it would be best if you just forgot about it and this site altogether! |
Just another Jack Handey wannabe
|
Why don't come out and be honest with everybody. We all know your Monster Number is closer to 50 than 500.
|
Dear Dr Frank
I want my colon back. Seems I lost it and the guys were telling me you are a Dr Franknstein type of guy.
Oh, sorry, Leon corrected me. Beer n Brats. Who woulda known. You went to med school to learn to make sausages? |
Hi.

I hear Frank cast the deciding vote for Burkett on the 1946 Old Timers Committee.

Frank are you a boob man or a butt man ?
Ps congrats on the milestone |
Frank,
I will take a much different tactic to get your 3000th post to come out. When I first joined this board, you were one of the first people to reach out to me, and help me learn about collecting. I have bought many T206 cards from your BST offers, you are always reasonably priced, and offer nice cards for the money. You have taught me prices, fair competition, and helped me develop my eye for a good card that is under graded. I won one of your contests and you sent me a free Zeenut card that I still treasure to this day. I enjoy reading your posts, I enjoy your friendly banter with some of the other board members. You are always available to share your knowledge of cards, and a major asset to this board with your many contributions. So I want to say one thing to you, Dr. Frank. Thank you. |
Was May 18th a happy or sad day?
:) |
What sort of ego maniac would start his own thread on a a random number ????? :):):):):):)
Scott (post 1,001) |
Frank is a great guy! I've only met him once...but he is super smart...interesting...funny as shit...sharp witted...a great poet/songwriter...although a little dated at times for me...he offers cards at fair prices consistently...and he entertains us often.
So who am i to judge? When Frank told me that he really preferred young boys over women his age...we came to the conclusion that he should marry a lady boy from Thailand. And Frank has been insanely happy ever since! Who am I to judge? |
As my Niece and Nephews would say, I am going old school on this one:
Frank, I don't know you but I was told that Yo Momma smokes cigars and wears combat boots. David |
Oh yes, something else I heard about you Frank,
You give prostate exams without using your hands ! ? ! David |
I have only had 2 interactions with Frank, both times it was trying to buy a card from him.
1st time I PMed him saying I will take the card you have listed. Well 2 weeks later he got back to me saying it was priced wrong and added $20 to the price. I really wanted it so I said ok. Another week goes by before he finally responded back with his payment info. 2nd time he had a nice card listed that I wanted but only had a picture of the front of the card. I PMed him and asked for a picture of the back side. He responded almost instantly. Bad part was it was a picture of his nude backside.:eek: Then a couple minutes later I got another PM from him saying he was sorry because he thought he was returning a PM from another site he frequents. |
Frank, that is very generous of you to give your entire T206 collection to whomever provokes you for your 3000 post! That 3000th post may not be meaningful to you, but that lucky person who wins that set will be ecstatic.

Stepping up to the big leagues
Frank? Never heard of him.

What's a matter Frank? You can't get it up.....to 3,000? Sounds like N54dysfunction. Try thinking about baseball cards.

I heard that he was a Hillary Clinton supporter.

Hey Frank, if you think your crappy, overpriced cards can be disguised by rinky-dink marketing ploys and silly stories/play on words, you are sadly mistaken. This is no game. Do you think grown men/women just throw around $100 bills on cardboard prints for fun? When I see your BST posts, I just move on. :cool:

Frank.....You can't handle the truth ! :D

You should use your 3000th post
To further inflate your bogus "Monster Number Thread", sitting there as the all time leader in thread replies with 1730...which explains how you got almost 60% of the way to your 3000th post....
your move sir.... :D |
Frank, just reply if it's happened already, don't have time to look at the other posts. All my best, Dennis

Boy, anyone with the perseverance to get to 2999 posts deserves some sort of award--how about a 5-year old doggie biscuit?

Who really cares about a post count? Maybe if post counts were hidden we wouldn't have nearly identical topics being posted at the same time. How about how many threads are posted over and over.

After working in IT for 20 years, I took my first job at a hospital.
I'm going to be a cardiologist. They have a 9 week program. I hear it's easy. Probably is. |
There once was a girl from Wheeling
Who got a very strange feeling So she laid on her back And tickled her.... Oops, wrong limerick There once was a doctor named Burkett Who had an important post to make, but said furkett So he challenged us all To see who could make him fall But we'll try and continue to wurkett!:D |
On 54 was an MD
Whose ego was large as the sea To himself he did call The attention of all But we wish he would say, Sawadee! |
Surprised and a little disappointed that, while everyone seems well aware of Dr Frank's penchant for the obscure,
no one's commented on, or perhaps even noticed, not just one but two brilliantly clever allusions half hidden in his original post. We'll let Frank himself reveal them in his 3,000th if nobody else "gets" them first. |
Who do you think you are, Frank? Dean Martin?!

Happy Birthday Frank!

Not really a fan of threads w/o pictures of cards or the Chase Utley rule, but to each his own I guess.
Here's another McGraw for my back run...I should start a thread about it one day I think. |
nice mcgraw there! i've owned many diff backs of that mcgraw...dont think i currently have any though.

Thanks, Pete. One of the reasons I started the run was b/c I ran into a couple of difficult backs of it and decided to give it a go. I realize now that there are many different possible combinations of ad backs for this McGraw. Here's a "blank back T216" from a Goodwin auction, although I'm not sure how they know to qualify it as a T216...

Reaching the 500 and 3000 milestones would guarantee Frank a spot in the Net54 HoF if it wasn't for those pesky juicing allegations.

The illusion of an allusion
Quote:
The provocation comes from the fact that "the two brilliantly clever" allusions, that I allegedly scripted in my original post, are in fact an illusion to me. I have been credited with brilliance, but in reality am ignorant. I cannot reveal them in this post, because I haven't found them yet and may be insane as a result. I am reminded of Joseph Heller's Catch 22. "Catch-22" refers to a regulation that states an airman's request to be relieved from flight duty can only be granted if he is judged to be insane. However, anyone who does not want to fly dangerous missions is obviously sane, thus, there is no way to avoid flying the missions. I guess that I have been gored by my own "bull". Kudos to Butch7999 whoever you are. "So it goes.................................." |
We all know you totally looked up to Adrian as your mentor!!
|
I woke up early on a Saturday and rushed to check this thread in anticipation of post 3,000, and that's the best you got??
Hoping for better in the quest for post 6,000 someday.... |
Welcome back, Frank, and happy 3000th. :)

Catch 22
I can't marry you.
Why not? Because you're crazy. Why am I crazy? Because you want to marry me. |

A doctor whose penis turned green
Asked a medico what did it mean He said "It's a curse From bonking that nurse Too close to the X-ray machine!" |
Frank made his statement and we can all rejoice
Amid allegations of brilliance, he felt that he had no choice The illusions and allusions, he didn't know Hidden messages in his post were the rage, it was quite a show The good doctor will continue after that So on to the next post A thousand more we look forward to Doc you are the Most! |
