I'm starting to kind of miss the guy. Hope he's OK.

Herb

Awwww, a kinder, gentler Herb? That's cute.

And yeah, where the heck is the Trixmeister?

HMMMMMMM, something smells Fishy! Didn't Trixter invite everyone to Rockaway Beach for the 4th of july this year. Now as its coming close to the 4th, Trixter disapears.

I haven't heard the term "Neo-con" for at least three weeks.

Of course, I can't blame him for having fun at the coast.

Herb

Isn't he tied up with his graduation from Jr. High?

Oh Trixter?

Where aaaarrrreeeee you?

Herb

He hasn't logged on in 8 days! I'll email him when I get home on Sunday if we don't hear from him.

I think he's either at the beach and incummunicado, or he answered Jacquel's emails and she's buried him in a shallow grave, or he's hiding from HerrB because he's worried that HerrB is coming to the beach house for 9 days and won't leave.

And why is Motozak deleted? I miss him too.

I'm also hoping to hear from Shyguy, but I left his number at home and I'm at Black Butte...I hope he's doing well after his surgery!

You can only handle so much of this place before you go crazy.

I used to post here 5-10 times a day but the place started to get repetitive with the anti bush topics.

Glad to see you again, Mc74.
It really is a leftist haven here.
I'd say it's a leftist heaven, but most leftists don't believe in that, either.

Herb

Nice threadjack there, Herb.

the troll hijacked his own thread. this just shows that if "leftists" don't politicalize a thread, he'll do it for us.

mc74 sez: "but the place started to get repetitive with the anti bush topics."

what about "hamfisted" diversons? Or Nixon diversons? didn't those bother you? If the forum drives you crazy, why did you check in?

>> as its coming close to the 4th, Trixter disapears.

That's okay. My space-age means of transportation doesn't really exist either.

Ack! The email addy I had for Trix bounced back...now even I'm concerned.

hope he's ok.

that isn't good news . . .

I miss seeing the words "neo-con" in his posts.
The nostalgia is really getting me all teary eyed!

TRIXTER WHERE THE HELL ARE U????
Anybody got photos of Trixter? We can try and put his face on the back of milk cartons. The only problem is, we don't know his real name.

Would be a good idea to put it on Trix cereal boxes also!

I still think the banned nutjob had something to do with this!

Actually, it could be that both of the banned nutjobs teamed up, and now Trix is the victim of "Foul Play".

His last post was on the 21st of June! Maybe he does not have internet in the shack on the beach! Betcha he's sitting there right now eating a huge bowl of TRIX, it's not just for kid's ya know!

Merkin~
"And why is Motozak deleted? I miss him too."

Reason: computer problems.

My old handle "Motozak" was registered under my old (and now-defunct) Yahoo E Mail drawer. When I finally shut my Yahoo file down back in mid-April, Discus (the software this BBS is built on) wouldn't let me register Motozak under my new Google drawer for some odd reason or other. I don't know if it was my computer itself or the board's software or something screwey at People's PC or what...........

Ergo, the only other convenient option was to just delete my old file and start over again (hence the "2" in my handle.) It only took me about three months to actually get around to doing it!

Usually when I change E Mail servers I give people a "grace period" of a couple months to change their contact lists before I shut my old E Mail down. It's also during this period I change my sign-on data at various web sites to my new E Mail. Unfortunately some web sites are more picky about users changing their sign-on data than others.

But I'm back.

Ride tuff.

Welcome Back Dude....We all thought you bought the farm on some Gnarley jump or something!

Beano: "TRIXTER WHERE THE HELL ARE U????

His real name is Chris Anderson.

Dean Johnson is probably right. He's "tied up with his graduation from Jr. High?"

Darktemper--

Well, almost......'twas shredding with a friend on dirt bikes at our Goldendale parcel a coupla months back when a damn slash pile decided to jump out of no-where and stand in front of my bike!

Needless to say, that far away from town, cellphone coverage is practically nil. (FM radio--and to some extent MW radio--is also pretty much useless there, making a CD player or even a sat box and a decent dish a MUST-HAVE if you want music!)

I was lucky enough to somehow be able to hobble uphill to the truck, up almost (at least from the point I was at) 14 acres of forested hillside on a blown-out right knee to boot! Cellphones are practically inoperable in that area of Gdale, but thank the Lord the town has a couple people monitoring channels 9 and 15!! Took the ambulance about a good half-hour to figure out where our parcel is but I guess that's the price you pay for being that far away from civilisation.

But it's all cool....my knee is better now..........

Unfortunately two months later I can't exactly say the same for my KTM!!

BTW....did you try just changing the email address on your old screen name? I think you are allowed to do that in the edit profile section!

I did. It gave me an error message saying my E Mail address wasn't valid (or something of that nature, anyways) considering it had been active for about two months prior!

Back in my A-Zone days (circa 2004) when I finally scrapped my old AOL E Mail file (good riddance) and went to Hotmail it didn't give me any trouble trying to change it. But then again, I believe this site was running a different (older) version of Discus at that time.

I think this time around it was my computer. I was Motozaking using my junky XP machine, so that might have been half my trouble right there. ;o)

God, I love Mandrake............

Well I guess you could just delete the profile and then re-apply with the new email addy! Or just keep it the way it is....we know it's you!

Digital,

Why are you "outing" Trix, if that truly is his real name?

"The Jerk store called, they're running out of YOU"

OK TRIXTER, You owe us BIG TIME!!!!!

I understand you probably got cold feet about the invite to rockaway beach. Having Herb show up is enough to make a person nausiated. Just reading Herb's posts makes me want to beat the guy. BUT you did invite everyone to ROCKAWAY BEACH and then at the last second you bailed! Not cool Trixter, NOT cool!

The thought of Herb appearing at his doorstep with his Disney Princess special sleep-over bag and matching jammies was just too much. Can you blame him?

No, it's a custom-made "Nixon Now More Than Ever" sleep-over bag with matching jammies.

Herb

OK, I actually laughed. Stop it.

He's tan, he's rested...

DA said>>>>>>>>>
Isn't he tied up with his graduation from Jr. High?

WOW!
With a statement like that I'm sure you just graduated from 6th grade....
What a simpleton.....

GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!

No I didn't bail!
#1 My mother that lives in Florance was sick for a while. #2. Baseball, Baseball, Baseball! We had a tourney in Redding, Cali. #3. I was in Norway helping solve an oil spill in Namsos. And #4. VACATION!!!!!! Gotta get away with the wife w/o the kids!!!!!
Sorry guys and Herb!
I'm back and ready to rock....
Thanks GOD DA is still here.. She makes DD's look smart.....

OH GAWD.....Heeeee's Back!

LOL

Welcome Back Slick Willy!

Mrs. M.....
I don't use that e-mail anymore.....

Mrs_M & Herb === Hilarious!

Have already installed the anti-static/spew guard on the laptop. It's a bitch to get the Coke (pop) out of the keyboard after these two mix it up.....especially when "I-Trolling"!

In response to mc74 and Skep... Some of us choose to simply read, others choose to shake their heads and respond.

Hey Trix, do you find it sad that Kellogg has removed the cartoon advertisements from its boxes and the media? Do you think General Mills is next and that you will be removed from your iconic post? I'm going to miss seeing the fruit shapes, and soon seeing you on my boxes of cereal.

What else will I grow up with in the morning when I want a heaping bowlful of cereal? Maybe Kashi will come up with some sort of Japanese cartoon dinosaur for its advertisements...

WB Chico. Pass the herbs so I can smoke em.

Hey Dr, Chaps, Can you believe that Rice Krispees is considered a sugar cereal and will no longer be advertised on Tv??
I always considered Rice Krispees to be one of the more healthy cereals. Gone are the days of snap, Crackle, and Pop. Or what about Tucan Sam on Froot loops "follow my nose."
Good stuff!

Am I missing something? Have cereal ads been banned or something?

Yup, all sugar Cereal ads will no longer be on Tv. I'm not sure when this goes into effect. Apparently Rice Krispees is a Sugar Cereal(go figure). People are getting angry that unhealthy sugar cereals are targeting our children and contributing to Obesity.

Actually not all sugar cereals, just the ones that dont make the cut
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/14/business/14kellogg.html?ex=1184126400&en=f422f d2deaa72aee&ei=5070

Frootloops is a goner! I don't see how they can change the fruit loop formula while cutting back on the sugar! Fruit loops are nothing but sugar! I don't expect to see Tucan Sam on the air anytime soon!

Im surprised Frosted Flakes made the cut but Rice Krispees didn't.
I guess we will still be seeing Tony The Tiger, but say goodbye to Snap Crackle and POP.

"Frosted Flakes, for example and Rice Krispies with Real Strawberries will still make the nutritional cut, though regular Rice Krispies will not (too much salt)."

The frosting on the flakes must be made with Splenda or some other Sugar Substitute.

Good to see this thread head in a new direction!

You went to Norway? Should have told me, I need a license plate from there for my collection.

Hey Trix, good to have you back and all!

Question though: How do you "solve" and oil spill? Or did you mean "figure out how to clean up"?

Just curious.

Where's the problem, they got some free oil. It was even delevered most of the way free of charge.

Thank you for the link, Beano. So it's a "voluntary" move by Kellog's, but due in part to pressure from activists. I guess I'll have to get my "Snap, Crackle, Pop from my vinyl collection.

Child obesity is everyone's fault except for the parents. QUIT BUYING THAT CRAP! Be a parent instead of looking for excuses while little Jimmy tips the scale at 300 in the 5th grade! Monitor what your kids are stuffing into their faces and shut off the TV and Video games and hand them a tennis racket and basketball and drive them to the park!

Nuff Said bout dis!

Indeed. Maybe even get the young'uns involved in BMX! Aside from changing my blood pressure medicine that's what helped me get from 315lb down to the 240 that I am right now. (Also factor in that I stand 6'-8".)

Instead of playing "Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX" on the Play Station (or my personal favourite, in Bleem running under DOS!) get them out and have them actually DO freestyle BMX! You burn more calories that way and not just in your thumbs, or keyboard-pressing fingers. ;o)

"Can you believe that Rice Krispees is considered a sugar cereal..."

Oh WHAT now??? What logic, if any, are the companies using to justify that?

COCOA Krispies, maybe. I can see that as being logical but regular, bland Rice Krispies?

Actually if you read the link it was due to the Salt content. The Rice Krispees with strawberries did pass though. They will probably cut back on the salt in order to maintain good standing!

Does this mean all the box tops that are mailed in for prizes won't be ground-up and put in the cereal anymore?

No....that was shredded wheat...you gotz your cereals cornflaked!

Trixter...

Where are our Norway gifts? I'm disappointed!

Where's the next meeting going to be anyway, bout time I show up for one and you all can't point and laugh...

Slabtown anyone? We would make a wicked Monday night trivia group.

I've been thinking about another get together myself. What about:
http://www.macadamsbarandgrill.com/About_Us.htm
Looks like a decent place.

On, how appropriate, radio row! hah

Hey....they have:

Greek Hummus Platter
House made hummus served with English cucumber, pickled red onions and pita chips.

Motozak is 6'8"? Awesome.

I'm in for another get-together, DT. The last one was fun!

I LOVE Slabtown.

...former home of the "Slabtown Country Social, from your friends at Country Club 101, KLLB."

I saw this on the tube last night and it is on my growing list of place to visit after I lose some tonnage!

I LOVE FONDUE......and the chocolate and strawberries looks sinfully fantastic!

Hey Zak....when the doorbell rings and you go to the door, do you open it and say "You Rang"!

When I was younger and used to see the old reruns of Munsters (or was it Addams Family?) on Nickelodeon I did.................

This was probably ten years ago (seventh grade, Cascade Jr. High!) when we still had cable.

Even in Pre-K I was regarded as the tallest kid in class, standing about 4'6" in a class of otherwise 3'-somethingorother kids.

Merkin, 6'8" indeed and it's a damn nuisance. Makes skateboarding incredibly difficult because I also have a bum right ear which never was the same after an ear infection when I was a tot so my balance sometimes really tends to suck!

I also wear a size 15 for my boots. Not SI (centimetre) sizing by the way..................

(Just for the record, it's a portmanteau of MOTOcross and MuZAK version 2.0.)

My favourite fondue is the stuff they serve at Gustav's. Rhinelander is good, last I remember, but I haven't been there in about 15 years..........

It was Lurch in the Adam's Family. You could get yourself a jagged silver grill and we could call ya "Jaws" like in the James Bond film Moonraker!
