PFB may be on Facebook

I saw this the other day on a Polk FB page and thought of PFB.

    My favorite story was flying a white drone in a snow storm and losing it. PFB had many (mis)adventures.

    I think PFB was a colorful storyteller, nothing more.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Not before my time, joined in 2008/9? Name rings a bell.

    Thanks for your patience. Tony

    Just like Porshe, there is (and was) no substitute. IIRC he had a Porshe, skinny jeans and drama.

    ^^^^ What about all the shipping damage threads. Lmao... Talk about some off the wall situations. Kev took a beating, but took it well imo. His woman probably duct taped him up & he's still locked in the closet in his skinny jeans feeling he is overweight at 120lbs. I kinda miss his 10 page post. Hope the kid is doing well & visits the forum again

    His adventures were definitely "entertaining", that's for sure.

    You know, it really was a fun time for all. Who here didn't click onto to one of his threads to see what trouble he got himself into that day? From shipping mishaps, to his Porsche to just about everything under the sun.....nothing seemed to go right for that cat.

    It was akin to reading the comics on Sunday morning. You look just to get a chuckle.

    He used to wear me out until I came to the conclusion that it was all a bit. Once I decided that, I actually enjoyed it.

    It had to be a bit, right? I mean nobody could have that much crazy bad luck, could they???

    How about this recently ressurected thread where he posted a pic of his tablet with his current music selection while sitting on the toilet. Loved Tony's response.....

    "Seriously ?? Your taking pics while on the toilet ? WTF is wrong with you ?" :D
