Biblical.
Yea... Methinks not. That head of yours (and I really don't care which one) is just too big to go long without spewing something that makes people gag.
Perhaps the handle Sammael suits you, at least in YOUR opinion. A biblical profit (though as I remember, it's been decades, a rather minor one). I just can't figure out if you're Old testament or New. "You non-believers will be destroyed in the fiery pits of hell" sounds distinctly Old, while the chastising of the doubting Thomas's is definitely New.
Anyone else here feel the need for validation, verification? Obviously, EVERYTHING here is hearsay. I certainly don't see the need for verification of my posts. You believe, you don't believe, up to you. Makes no difference to me. But then, I don't suffer from insecurities or feelings of inferiority. Agree, disagree, no problem. On the ISG, one scoffs at me for flying half-way around the world to visit MTW. His opinion. Still is my first stop when BOTG. Have never felt the need for verification... now gratification... the reason I'm there.
Anonymity? Yep, that's why we use handles rather than real names. Any why I rarely meet up with other members. Just because we happen to read the same webpages doesn't make us "bro's". Attitude counts, as defined by posts. Attitudes are like assholes - everybody's got one, just some are more shitty than others.
OMG, say it ain't so, Joe. Boo-hoo, boo-hoo. Those were my 2 tears for the bucket. But somehow, someway, life will go on, on the forum, in the shops, with the ladies...
As to your absence, like I said above, methinks not. That doubt will just gnaw away at you until you have to spew off. You just need that forum "shot" for validation. The tree that falls in the forest with no one around doesn't make a sound. But you are the type that just likes to hear yourself, and with no one around, there is the forum.
You're like that kid from the vacant field where we used to play (yep, I'm old enough, no playgrounds). "If you don't play by MY rules, Ill take my shiny new ball(s) and go home". Bye. Because the games will go on. Members will come (pun intended) and go. Shops will come and go. Girls will come and go. This is the way (sorry, couldn't resist).
Really? Let me clue you in. It's NOT a competition. The forum is a means to share info, insights, and yours, quite frankly, are rather lacking... for me, anyway. MY experience, those that feel the need to brag about the money they make, the things they do... just trying to overcome some insecurities. Subtle difference between bragging and "just the facts, Ma'am" (showing my age).
Good for you, I'm glad that this forum has contributed in some way to your education.
But you have brought a smile to my face, using my imagination:
You, walking into a shop: "It's Twister, prepare to be blown away". The mamasan and girls screaming their appreciation.
A month later, you walk into the shop: "It's Sammael, it will be biblical". The mamasan and girls looking somewhat confused, "Aren't you Twister?" "Begone yee heretics or I will turn yee into pillars of salt; it is I, Sammael, the all knowing seer"... for awhile at least. "Oh, OK, whatever..." (said with that valley-girl accent).
Well, the oven has rung, I've killed enough time, lunch is ready, I've just received notice that a Thai classic has posted a new TikTok, and with SongKran soon upon us, greetings to be written. See, those classic cars... there are reasons why they are classic... Have fun in your world as we will in ours.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
HAPPY PUNTING TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!
