Where is Bill?

I was wondering the same thing after bumping the greenway thread. I hope he's doing alright also. Hemis the man when it comes to billiards info in Dixie.
 
I was also wondering about him. He's one of the good guys. Thanks Dave

I'm pretty sure he is doing ok.

I have received some e-mails from Bill in the past few days.

Yeah, me too. He keeps in touch via email.

Don't know why he doesn't post on AZ but I'm sure he is still reading if I know $Bill. :smile:

Glad to hear he is doing good. I always liked his posts and would like to see him stop back in occasionally.
 
fatboy and racism

Hu said this "a national zero Rodney King", that is a racist statment. Rodney has had his troubles as a man, not as a black man.

fatboy,

What is a racist statement is your new tagline. You call a petty criminal a national hero because of fifteen minutes of fame in a life of petty crime before and after that fifteen minutes. I called him a national zero in response to your "national hero" foolishness. He is just one of the thousands of petty criminals out there that are a drain on society.

Absolutely nowhere did I make any comment about his race. Nobody could even know what race he was reading my tagline. You calling it a racist statement because Rodney happens to be black, that is racism. You objecting to my tagline because you automatically assume it has anything to do with Rodney's race, that is racism too. Pretty obvious that you are the racist.

As I have said before, two of the men I admire most in this world are black. As it happens two of the men I think little of are black too. I don't have to filter all of my thoughts and feelings through the issue of race.

Of course I do understand one crook standing up for another but don't be dimwitted enough to think that race is involved. I wouldn't have a bit more respect for you if you were black. People like you are still the same, black or white.

By the way, is this the same fatboy whose "friendship request" I turned down a couple days ago? Did you think I was racist then or only after getting your panties in a wad because I wouldn't be buddies?

You are as "fouled up" as a soup sandwich!

HU, lighten up, i was just pulling your chain. :smile:
 
I have always wondered where the hell the Rodeny King thing came from.

And know it has grown, changed form and became a topic of debate....

I still have no clue.....
 
OK no problem

OK, no problem. In the same spirit of fun I'm sure you will have no problem when I add "fatboy is a racist bottom feeder that has preyed on tens of thousands of black people" to my tagline. Just to yank your chain a thousand times on the forums of course, even if it is true. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow, the evolution of threads.:D When I first started reading AZ, long before I was actually cleared to post, Bill aka Hemi posted on here frequently and knowledgeably about all things pool. He was one of my favorite posters to read and I have missed his posts for some time. Glad to hear that all is well with him and would love to see him posting again.

yep!

Bill is one of the good guys. I had literally a thousand choices as to which signature to respond to when replying to fatboy's bs. I chose the latest simply because the question about Bill had already been answered. With more thought I should have chosen one of the threads where fatboy was beating his chest and proclaiming how great he is instead of disrupting this one.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bill is at Galveston. Maybe I will finally meet him there. We may have met before but if so it was on a field of green in less than formal circumstances.

I never meant to imply that you disrupted this thread, I actually found your post insightful, on point, and humerous. I suspect that here is as good as any of the threads about houses/cars owned, superior gambling knowledge, getting biz going, or the miserable low-class life of the average working stiff aka slaves.

Wow is right! I can't believe the thread went this sideways on just the first page. LOL It usually takes at least 3-4 pages....

Good to hear $Bill is good, I wondered the same but Fatbuoy was smart enough to ask!
 
This has been a real "sleeper" thread! Like renting a movie that turns out to be much more than you at first thought. Or, finding that 1 in 10,000 bags of Doritos or Cheetos that has the big chunk of un-ground up cheese that is packed with flavor! :D Like "The Saw" said..."sideways on just the first page."......

On topic- Bill "Hemicudas" is one very fine man who I respect a lot. I'm proud to be able to call him a friend.

Off topic- Rodney King has been arrested 9 times SINCE the L.A. riots. I "Googled" him to catch up with the former celebrity. Here's a story that picks up with arrest # 5.....http://www.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=16487



Something else, Reginald Denny, a white (Yes, I did use that word. It's because he is white) truck driver, happened to drive into one of the riots where the genius's were destroying their own part of town. He was beaten nearly to death by a band of coward animals, who then danced in the street near his body. How come nobody feels bad for him?

ShootingArts- Hu, I support you 200%

fatboy- I firmly believe that attaching a tagline to your signature that quotes ShootingArts' and then adding your opinion of his remark was not posted in fun, it was meant as a zinger or worse. THAT is not 'pulling your chain." Where did Hu say anything racist??? He posted FACT. Reciting facts doesn't make somebody a racist. You post something like that and when someone else reads it, they don't know you were kidding (allegedly).
And Eric my friend, I would stick up for you if someone did that to you. Your tag line clearly calls Hu a racist. And that ain't right and can't be defended.

And, of all the people in America, the religious leaders, the military warriors & heros, the people who battle hard against cancer or disease, of all those people to pick from, you got R. King as a "national hero"????? Wow! http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hero

"National" speaks for the nation. I'm 1/ 290,000,000th of this nation & I can assure you that R. King is no hero to me.

$Bill....Sorry about your thread here. It's wrecked. :eek:
But you're still a swell guy! :smile:

Hu, it's very unlikely that Hemi will travel to Galveston. He's had back problems for years, which does not allow him to attend many events. Also, he's pretty busy with computer work for his graduating class. He doesn't post as much as he used to, but it's always enjoyable when he does.
