Well, since we are getting into it, let's put this in context. Nitro is short for nitromethane BUT "nitro" is not short for *nitrous oxide*. If Vin Diesel had nitro in that bottle and he unleashed it like that, into his RX 7, we would be adding "R.I.P" to Vin Diesel's name. :sorry:
Long story, short... The Bishop threw up an air ball on that one.

Poor Eric, still hanging on my every word. :grin:
No, that's true that you didn't specifically ask for info on the name NITRO but in the other thread but you accused me of "cliff-hanging all the time" which I had to assume that you were referring to ALL OF MY cliff-hanging", "story telling bully ways", :killingme:
I love you Joey, but you can be a cliff hanger...:angry::angry::angry:
I resemble that remark.
I think if anything this thread reflects just how easy it is for people on this forum to get all up in arms. I fail to see the big deal here and why Joey is being attacked for simply being jocular about a pool story and nickname. Is anyone really that offened or am I missing something? If we are going to punish people for threads that are silly and waste our time, someone owes me like 300 bucks for the time I wasted reading all the lock society threads. No, those werent silly at all.
im betting the Bishop and the Load both squeak when chalking, pound the bottom of a Snapple Bottle to shake it and pack their cigarettes by pounding it on a table. "Everyone-It's me me me-look at me."

Some people just have an insatiable need for attention, Nostroke. It's almost like their ego needs validation or they didn't get enough hugs as a kid. With the coming of age, of online forums, the Interwebs seems to have become the new soapbox.
A friend brought it up the other day, but, the worst of the bunch was a guy "who shall remain nameless", whom was banned from every forum and had to start his own. He was prolly the worst case I've seen.

I like Eric's idea of the 'soapbox'...I suspect more than he does.
I have been to Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park in London several times and
found it quite entertaining. It's been there for a long time and tradition says
that you can speak on any subject.
One speaker I heard a few times liked to preach, and always drew the same
heckler...but they used to feed off each other...and it worked well. I think
they actually liked each other.
One time the preacher was warning of the sin of overly imbibing....
..the heckler said "I'd like a 'sin and tonic', please."
...the crowd laughed.
...so using AZ as a soapbox doesn't seem all that bad to me.
I stopped using soapboxes once I was tall enough to see over the table's edge.
Eric
AND FURTHERMORE, IF I'M ELECTED.......uh, sorry..
Actually, Eric, we used to put wheels on our soapboxes....
..which gives me an idea..:idea2:
..how about a Soapbox Derby City Classic?
pt..<..looking for sponsors
Wow.
So, lemme get this straight...you got some second/third hand info on a match you didn't see, then decided to give that player a nickname based on info that your brother's cousin's neighbor text'd you and you want to sell that nickname (that you made up) to the forum, even though you didn't see any of the match first hand??
Well, if I did the same I could say that even though I nvr met JoeyA, but have read his posts on a couple of forums and have received PM's about him :grin:, I could try to force feed a nickname for Joey, to the forum?
Hmm. How 'bout "The Bishop"?
You know, bishops love to be revered, love to hear them selves preach and generally have a holier-than-thou attitude.
Nah, it would never stick...:wink:

i can believe that nameless guy actually got a following. That's the most unbelievable part.
