Seems you've omitted a key element of the story...Did you cough up the fiver??
ronin said:Several years ago, I was sitting out in front of a hamburger joint on Whittier Blvd. waiting for my lunch order. A fellow came up and sat down next to me. He was not an unfamiliar sight along that stretch of highway; walking up and down the road, or stretched out sleeping on the sidewalk, everyday in a dirty trench coat, long matted hair and the Charlie Manson look in his eyes.
He launched into a convoluted diatribe about land bridges between continents and the movement of ancient peoples, dinosaurs and all manner of strange goings on in the universe. Finally he looked me in the eyes and said, "Do you understand?"
I replied, perhaps more harshly than was warranted, that I didn't have a (expletive deleted)ing clue what he was talking about.
Another forum poster might be willing to license his copy of H*Mania Buzzword Bingo for an appendix... or perhaps on the website!As well as my new book the "The Dummies Guide to H*Mania"
To help promote my book I will be giving away some prizes.
First prize is "A day with H*"
Second prize is "A weekend with H*"
And the boobie prize is "A week with H* and JWR too"
If someone becomes unpopular because of abnoxious postings, he or she can come back using a different username, correct ? Maybe h---s has already come back under a different name....
He has a very distinctive writing style (verbose is kind) but not particularly obnoxious more like a pit bull. There are at least two dozen veteran poster who could catch a doppleganger of him after a handful of posts.
We've had a few posters try that. They can lurk all they want, but the vast majority can't hide their vocabulary or their speech patterns. I can think of four offhand, although I'm not going to mention their names here because I've already received hate mail for doing so in the past.Nope. We mod folks check for that. It happens, but rarely. Old Hoc couldn't probably stand to post under an alias, though, because he is a one-note drum.
