How much stupider could my posts get...?

No one really knows. He just showed up one day and a hush fell over the forum. Everyone knew something big was happening. You could taste the knowledge in the air(oddly it tasted like chicken). Posts crumbled like the walls of ancient cities under the pressure of progress. Little old ladies wept in the streets. Everyone knew that there could be only one...

Sorry, that "stupid" part was in reference to me, seriously. :lol: That's why I said "my" and not "your".

I'm just bored and acting like an idiot as usual. :lol: I honestly have no idea who he really is. I know that he knows his $hit though. He hasn't been around too much lately, but I'm sure he'll make a triumphant return soon.

The loss of humanity. aka "the internet'

We have lost the inflection of the human voice to pick up sarcasm and comedy.

"Some of us are good some of the time in some things and all of the time in other things..."

My race professor at school told me once that the reason why 43 drivers are so close together on the track Sunday has nothing to do with driving. They can all drive.. Some are always in the front and some are always in the back. Most are in the middle...

Its just follow the leader.

Well put! :D I have seen sparks fly over this. It can be comical at times. I'm normally very careful about the way I say things(believe it or not...thanks Reg :lol: ),so that their context is not lost. Every post that anyone reads goes thru their own personal filter though, and you just never now what will come out the other side. That's why I feel posting often, and reading the posts of others often is very important. It's really the only way of knowing what they're really saying. For the record, I'm usually saying nothing... :lol:

I'm sure once someone is around here past 50 posts they will understand. Except for treehuggers great insight, that may take a little while longer. :wink:

Thumb, that was hilarious, thanks :D

Tornado: temple of speed is very much liek an encyclopedia for R/C, it's pretty spooky what he sometimes pulls out of his hat. He definitely deserves his own forum, tons of good stuff in there. And about THEYTOOKMYTHUMB, he's one of the laid back jokers on the site, about a 1/4 of his posts are actually about R/C, the other 3/4 are entertainment for the rest of us. He does a great job at it too ;)

Temple is a Global Moderator, and very knowledgeable on the RC10 variations and answers bunches of questions about the subject, so it was easier to make his own section to help answer questions :wink:
