Jeebus, I leave you alone for 30 minutes, and look what happens...

People getting banned, threads getting locked, postes getting deleted...

maybe we need to bring back the Hall of Shame :)

    I personally liked the thread, but it did kind of get out of control. I think the real problem is when you upgrade your XBOX 360 power cord to one from a PS3, it ends up drawing way too much power. As a result, the flux capacitor does not receive enough energy from my gerbils running in their cages, therefore sending me back to 1985 and putting me in first grade where I got in trouble again for having a scissor "fight" with my friend Randy. I hate it when that happens.
    I know just enough to be dangerous, but don't tell my wife, she thinks I'm a genius. :D

    See what happens when you bring up fruitcakes?

    I thought Club Polk had a no talk policy on Religion/Guns/Politics, and most importantly FRUITCAKES. You people just never learn. :rolleyes:

    And he just reached a 1000 post count today. Such a bittersweet day...
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I've actually met Carl on three occasions. About a year ago, I bought a set of nice CRS+'s from him. Later, I helped him when one of the forum members needed a hand picking up some Carver Amazings. Some time after that, he offered me an extra CD disk changer that he had, so I picked it up...In person, he's very quiet, almost shy. But, he seemed sad. I think that is the best description I can think of. I do wish him well.

    You know, I shouldn't comment because, honestly....I feel bad about the whole situation.

    First, I really have empathy for Carl. I really do. Just like I would anyone with a disease like MS. I also feel bad that he bought into those shyster's schemes. The problem is that **** CAN be dangerous, I've seen it happen with tragic results and that makes my blood boil.

    I wish him well and really, really didn't want to eat his liver.

    BS, There is no need to include viewers into the raunchy crap that some of you aspire to. Guns? Come on. The only thing guns do is kill, or the thought of. The only thing near naked women appear are where you don't want anyone to see, so why post it? I am not a holy joe by an stretch of the imaginagion, but why bring it here when we can get it elsewhere?
