What a politically correct BS response.

For those who don't know this place JUMPED THE SHARK YEARS AGO.

I'm a long-time member and waiting to be banned!

And yes you did get in my face at National.

So maybe I'm getting too old. Can someone please let me know what "jumped the shark" means?

Default Jumping the Shark.....

Jumping the shark is an idiom popularized by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest........etc etc.......

Peace, Mike

I believe Fonzie on "Happy Days" actually jumping a shark on waterskis has some part in the figure of speech.

Someday perhaps I'd like to jump a Moose or a Caribou, though I might settle for something smaller, like an Armadillo.

We have lots of armadillos where I live. They aren't very smart and I think you could easily jump one. But "jumping the armadillo" doesn't quite have the ring to it. Here is a jumping armadillo.....

It means going downhill! I think we have been going downhill for years. It's much easier than going uphill.

I hate the food at McDonalds. I'm going to keep going there, eating their food, and complaining until they kick me out.

Solid logic.

I don't know any forum anywhere on the internet where you can just keep bashing on the owner/moderator and not get banned. Why should Net54 be any different?

It's not quite juicy of a thread yet, so you're good for a while

Mamma always told me to never let solid logic get in the way of righteous indignation.

How long do you have to be here to get banned? Do I get credit for time from the old N54 board?
