I want to say im sorry to all my friends and loyal customers here on Hobbytalk for letting something happen that never should have.I let my temper get the best of me and it went south from there.Also wanted to say im sorry to the entire board for the unpleasantness,and maybe we can all get back to making this one of the best places out there for us slotheads!
Sorry again,now back to the regularly scheduled program.
Christian

Damn...I miss everything...

Way to man up though... :thumbsup:

Yer pressure relief valve locked up...Then ya tossed a gasket!...never happens to me of course... :p

I dont see it as a crime warranting capital penishment. "Twenty lashes with a wet noodle!" Then go cast me a 57 Nomad in that purdy green color! Is it done yet? Bribes accepted...duuuh... This is a real world tribunal!

Oh alright!...Yer already serving a life term to our beloved hobby...sentence commuted, credit for time served.

Yer probably going to be on double secret probation til ya bring yer grade point up Mr. Blutarsky. As for expunging your permanent record, not much we can do about that! It is now a part of Hobby Talk History...the key word being History...if yer catchin' my drift.

Now on to the next sporting event! Who's next? Can I get any odd's?

Like Kevin and many others, I see idealic forums with little er no bloodshed; however the realist in me see's the love and passion we all have for little cars and knows that it's just a dream. We can only aspire do the best we can.

When compared to HT, most other boards pale by comparison and the Schlage company is on thread lock retainer at all times. I believe that Hank and Griff are very generous with the "lock ease". Commendable, in that it would appear that they generally let folks try and work through things without interference...until things get ridiculous. Then the lock gets snapped down and ya go to a neutral corner. The system works! I find it sensible and efficient.

There's no place like home :thumbsup:

You've done me no wrong so I cannot accept your apology. I'm actually rather annoyed that you would even apologize to me for no reason what-so-ever. In fact, I feel downright insulted that you would do something like that to me.

I demand an apology!

Oh, I see I already have one. All is forgiven, let's be friends again. :p

I don't have a clue what you're talking about so obviously you haven't set me off in any way.

To me, it shows class when a guy (or gal) can own up to a situation where they lost a little control. It's all good in the end.

Chris, I don't know what you did, but everyone loses it every now and then. Guess that's what makes us human (present poster not included :freak: ). I hope all involved will forgive and forget. Life's too short, so let's all play with our little cars and be happy.

First of all I want to say I'm sorry to my first grade teacher at Serna Elementary, Ms. McGaffagan, for puking on her shoes the second day of class. It was all nerves.

I also want to apologize to Sarah Reyes, my 8th grade girlfriend. I didn't know undoing your bra in 3rd period math would be so emotionally impacting that you'd become a nun.

I also want to apologize to Coach Crocker for the knee to the nuts during freshman football practice, but coach, you gotta admit it still was a great tackle, eh?

And lastly I want to apologize to my ex-wifes divorce attorney. I really don't know if you're a fridgid dragon lady whose heart is a cold black stone, but if you're not, well, there ya go.

OK, :::whew::: I feel better now.

Okay Pete, I think we've made a breakthrough here today. :)

Who else would like to contribute?

I would like to say sorry without feeling to everyone I have ever offended, but if you hadn't been such a bunch of stuffed shirts I wouldn't pick on you. I would like to also apologize to my First wife for wasting 5 years of my time on her and giving her false hope that i can turn her into a living breathing human being. I would like to say sorry to the users of hobby talk in advance for any inane ramblings I may choose to post in the remainder of my lifetime, but there is a ignore option. I would like to really apologize to the users for Joes Sig picture, if I didn't insist on picking on his mullet he would not feel it nesacary to turn HT into lets make a date. and post his personal profile. I would like to apologize to my Editor at Scholastic and my Agent at Browne for speeling and grammer errors but I really do not give a ^*&$ you ever see what you pay me ya cheap *^&*%$$&^#$@%... I think I just lost the whole theme of this thread..

I am sorry for having had a salami sandwich for lunch. I have heartburn now.

I am sorry for having had a salami sandwich for lunch. I have heartburn now.

On second thought, the salami seemed to be sitting well with me until all this talk about ex-wives started.

I would like to say I am sorry to the salami for wrongfully blaming it to be the cause of my heartburn. Turns out, it was the passing thought of my ex-wife all along.

I hope we can remain friends and that I can continue to enjoy several slices of you every once in a while, along with your buddy, Wonder Bread. Thanks.

BURRRRRRPP :freak:

I want to say I'm sorry to have such a poor language when writing in english on this forum, but I can assure you that in my mother language, french, I'm really better and more precise and fine.
I'm sorry for all of you, bunch of slot-aholics, not to write french as good as I can do (my best) in english.
I'm sorry to have found only 4 good numbers last week on Lottery (with six I was the king of the world... with 4 only, I'm just a jerk among the crowd).
I'm sorry for my ex-wife, who is now my wife again, not to have found a worser dumbass than me.
I'm sorry for my daughter not to give her a brother or sister (damn Lottery with only 4 found numbers and all these slotcars still to buy...)

I guess I should go as well then.

I'd like to apologize to all those on epay who outbid me for any items I wish to have as I call them some pretty severe names at auction's end. It's not really their fault they're so selfish as to not let me have it. I realize now it has to do with how well their first date went as a kid and how much beer they consume as an adult. I'm sorry.

Je suis Zanza français désolé qu'est mieux que son anglais, mais voyant comment bon son anglais est son français doit être remarquable.

Damn, I feel like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Where's my sword...

:thumbsup: Excellent Pete ;)

I am NOT sorry, NOT one bit! There nuff said!

I am sorry that you guys had to read Daves apology. :cry:
I am sorry that I have hair for you guys to pick on. (not a mullet) :rolleyes:
I am also very sorry that a camera has not yet been built that won't explode when pointed in Daves general direction. ;)
I am sorry we will never get to see what DAVES mullet looks like. :(

I'm sure Daves bald, or mostly there. But thats still better then a mullet Joez. lol.

i wanna see a picture of your hair all teezed up like an 80's hair band.

*Quote from that stupid Robin Williams/Popeye movie from about 20 years ago...

Big Monty Python fan here......

It would be cool if this thread turned into an argument about having an argument.Like in that skit MP did in their old tv show.

Hank would probably get all mad and holler at us again.

But it would still be cool.

Mike

I think coach will say.......


....something about pets and pet-owners starting to look alike after awhile....... :D

.......or is it.....

...........A handsome enough fellow who should have picked a prettier gal........ :D

.......or is it......

ROFL!!!! Hey, Pet-Smart actually did a good job taking care of my mullet when I had it. That poor dog is nearly blind and deaf now, and we keep him cut pretty close because he mats up now. Wait...nearly blind and deaf....nearly shaved...DOH!!!! He still looks like me. I owe my dog an apology.

Seth, I wouldn't be caught DEAD driving a Chevy, but I did have an awesome '88 5.0 SVO with Flowmasters and ladder bars at the time...with a cassette player and an REO Speedwagon tape!

I live in Nebraska...that is almost like living nowhere at all. LOL

Theres a place called Nebraska? And people live there? I didn't think people lived past Ohio. lol

I lived in Nebraska once, some place called Oglalalafalala or something. When it got below freezing in September I left. I could only imagine what January was going to be like.

Wasn't there an old one liner that went something like "Nebraska - Gateway to Wyoming"?

Bob,Why are they making fun of Nebraska.The great Johnny Carson came from there.I think you should order all the cars and supplies you need for the next few months before you get snowed in.
