Welcome aboard.

[Scott R Nelson]

While I'm thrilled to hear there's now a poster who might pick up on my generally ill-timed and poorly-placed allusions to early pop hits, I'm somewhat concerned by your comment that there are "probably only two or three top ten" records that you don't like.

Zager and Evans is on my "do not like" list. Although I've finally reached the point where I can actually listen to it every once in a while without holding my ears and screaming.

D.O.A. by Bloodrock from 1971 is on the list.

Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger is there too, although he had at least one other song that I happen to like: Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.

I don't try to make sense out of senseless lyrics (e.g., Blinded By the Light, I Am...I Said, Etc.) I just try to enjoy the tunes.

senseless lyrics like Blinded By the Light, I Am...I Said, Etc.

<gasp> I'm going to pretend I didn't see that.

I have a moniker suggestion for you.

I would never want my real name on the internet as creepy people can get even creepier online but since you insist and since you also use your middle initial, why not go by "Elder Scott R. Nelson"?

That way you get the full effect of the middle initial.

Too late, I've already used my full name on probably two dozen different forums. I use a middle initial because I'm not the only Scott Nelson around.

In fact, there was one just a few blocks away that I never actually met, and he even had a daughter with the same name as one of my daughters. One time my daughter ordered some glasses from the optometrist and they called the other one by mistake to notify that the glasses had arrive. "What? We didn't order any glasses?". I can't remember how we got that sorted out.

At least I don't have a totally common name like Bob Davis or John Smith.

And for some reason I'm not afraid of internet people tracking me down. You can look up my address and home phone number easily enough on the internet, since I'm in the local phone book. I don't blur my license plates either (obviously), like so many people seem to do, when I post a photo of one of my vehicles. I've never figured out what that is supposed to protect you from.

This is actually very sound advice. Remaining anonymous is very helpful, especially when you get in fights with people on the forum, arrange confrontational meet ups at SLC dining establishments about who will pay for who's lunch, threaten to show off a centurion card, and then ultimately never turn up.

Colly is wrong, as usual. It was not my card that i ever mentioned. and, in fact, it is completely lost upon those with a serious case of inveja (esp ddd) that i made the comment to poke fun of my biz partner, who lurks here, and his centurion card that he frequently uses to pay for his $5 mcdonald's orders.

envy is a nasty thing, colly. let it go

It's ok that you wussed out. No biggie.

it was more like: uh, this guy is pretty freaky. then i got 2-3 different PMs from others suggesting i not actually meet the guy in public warning me of his alleged "issues".

that said, i was absolutely out of line in my first few threads on this place and deserved a lot of what I got.

Apparently I've hit a soft spot. I see from your post below that you have been humbled. I can't promise I won't bring up your folly again, but I'll refrain as long as you mind your manners.

Scott, a few of us here stick to the facts when we talk religion. Feel free to come support us. Thanks for you post.

Also, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, a bonus question from the 70s: Do you think Brandy would really make such a fine wife?

She would have 30 years ago, but now she's just a bitter old barmaid who wasted the best years of her life believing that the deadbeat sailor she shagged 35 years ago in a one-nighter actually meant it when he said he loved her and would return.

That's ironic coming from a guy who likes all the time to drop dark hints that he knows not only who you are but also all your family and acquaintances.

This reminds me. A guy on Utefans (I won't say who but he has two brothers who post here) pmed me the other day and said he was going to tell my father and uncle about SeattleUte and he bet they wouldn't like my "attitude about things". That earned him an lol. I didn't think he was capable of such whimsy. He's normally a dork who takes himself too seriously.

[TripletDaddy]

actually, more like appalled at how completely abusive my language was on this site. it was as if 8 years of pent up CB restraint spilled out on paper in a two week, profanity-heavy span. it was embarrassing, to say the least.

Agreed. "Embarrassing" would be the very least you could say about it.

We have a winner. (I bet she even still wears the silver locket.)
