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.....

Is there an actual list of banned posters? I remember being banned (albeit for only a day or so)... it's funny to laugh at now, aint it Leon...

It might warrant a trip to Texas, to cross that off my bucket list.

I was recently in Armadillo, TX. No, wait, that was Amarillo, TX, where it is impossible to go uphill or downhill and the nearest shark is miles away.

I met a blonde in a pickup truck there who told me my rear end was exposed, but that is a completely different, but true, story.

You left the trunk-top on your Accord open again? What have I told you about that, Gramps?!

[begsu1013]

first world problems and who cares anyways?

it's an internet forum full of dudes.

i've yet to be banned from this place, but it's certainly on my bucket list!

besides, well behaved men rarely make the history books....

I don't see getting banned as a badge of honor.

I have been here long enough to know that varying opinions is not enough to get you banned. It usually stems from abuse and improper use of the forum.

No matter if you love or hate Leon, agree or disagree with his integrity, as decent people we owe it to ourselves to not stoop to threats and abuse.

Call me over sensitive or a panderer, but I am saddened by the state of the world sometimes and feel as though we don't need to reflect the negativity and discord on a message board.
