Trying to find it, but dang it, gone like many other things around here. is there a way we could rebuild it so on days like this when you are home sick and in need of laughter as medicine for what hurts, we could simply click on it and get a much needed laugh or two?

Yeah, bring that back. Great stuff in there, really great stuff!!!Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

I also miss perusing through those wonderfully entertaining threads in the HoS. However, I seriously doubt that the Hall of Shame fits into the "new and improved" forum's corporate aesthetic.
They might consider making it a hidden part of the forum accessible to those with 5000 or more posts. It wouldn't hurt to ask.Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country! -
I stopped caring about baseball 25 years ago now. Still remember the day not one, but two hall of famers told a 7 year old boy to pound sand rather than sign his baseball cards...When I first saw the title of this thread I thought it was about the baseball hall of fame, given that it's time for them to announce the 2016 inducties. I assumed a suspected steroid user or two got inducted and John was venting his frustration. LOL

I saw the thread title, my first thought was PFB. Which by the way, anyone know where or have a copy of that pic he posted that time. Where he stuck the banana plug sideways into a binding post on a Emo amp?--Gary--

From your cousin Beavis (3rd row last pic) he was selling copies on ebay for dirt cheap before he was hauled away, again.

Sister's kid who never was "Right". Had a foot fetish too. Always wanted me to take off my shoes when visiting, then stared at and drooled while looking at my feet. Think he works as a lifeguard in Florida these days, dragging people out of the ocean by their feet.HT SYSTEM-

Perfect cover-up, no one will ever see the drool in the ocean. Everyone would think it's Ocean water. Brilliant!!
-
Dang it!
In my defence just incase we got newbie's here or fanboys... That binding post snapped in half like a stale piece of bread! The binding posts would not take the bananas and the bare wire opening was larger than the hole going into the post itself! This was a brand new amp from emotiva and they would not send me out a new binding post or pay for any kind of return what so ever!
Iooking at that pic i wonder how I went from being happy with those mono price ics pictured to cables that cost more than a car? Its your guys fault!!!

Lol, you've come a long way since the Emotiva days.

I know that rick, all in good fun!
