Zal must have taken the long weekend to go somewhere where there is lots of cuervo or corona.

No need to send 50 bucks here, your presence is worth much more then that!

Z06 almost has 1000 miles within the first 3 weeks. Will take her to I-75 soon (not on a holiday weekend) and check her out. Then will be looking in to somewhere between 600 and 700 hp. Screw the warranty. Advised Fox that phots will be soon, I've been sidelined for about a week now but almost back to fully operational.

G.A.R.Y.

ps can history reapeat. Florida Marlins since their inception win the world series every five years (98 and 03). That would be this year. Possible?

RE: Allante Net Joke of The Day
 

Rumor has it that the Marlins get paid with every 3 wins, 3 HR, or three cases sold of Goji Juice Dyno Mite 'xplosion. So much for Yankee type payrolls. Could this be real, I'm routin' fora Florida team???!!!

RE: Allante Net Joke of The Day
 

The Fl team to watch out for this year could be the return of the "U". They had great picks out of local high schools and I understand that they are now distributors for Tunguska Blast. They can't play any better but they don't get headaches anymore. There will be a link on their homesite for any fool who wants to join a pyramid club.

Well "sheiite" as they say in Texas. "Polar Springs" now sells "colored" water with vitamins added for a "buck a pop."

Ah, nothing like some good red dye #2.

Sent to me by e-mail by dues paying AN member. Cannot give his or her name out due topossible retaliation. This appears to be a post by admin.

A line has been drawn out in the open in cybersand.

We sit in the middle of a circle. Those outside this circle can be rude, offensive, obnoxious, and with the wonders of technology, vicious. Have you ever been sorry that you gave out your email? That the possibility exists that an unknown person can be helpful on the front end and petty on the other on any forum presents to an administrator a bit of a problem.

In many cultures man strove to be honorable. When I have nothing else to learn, then I will no longer pay my dues. Men here know about this special automobile from the 80s. Those that have shared from a lifetime of tribulations with it are due their respect. And respect has been given.

When I no longer wish to show signs of respect to those with whom I associate, then I have lost my honor.

No secret handshakes or silly hats are required. Some who brand themselves with dishonor when they are not very aware may never understand the need to apologize. Some may never be trusted again. The coming to the rescue of a large group of adults who are offended by self-appointments to ADAOTM guilt stick has been taken away and laid down.

Bill, are you voluntarily removing yourself from the Private ACA Member Area because you only desire Contributor status? Those who feel similarly can send me an email and I will oblige.

My apologies to "hammer" for voicing my suspicions, but your posting style is very similar to one of our past contributors. It was not meant to be public.

RE: Allante Net Joke of The Day
 

Copycatting is the sincerest form of flattery. Notice the "Allante Net" has just added a "pub."

By my count, there are at least 23 categories there now which used to be done by three for years.

A new list appeared this morning "for members only." I got curious about one labeled "Privacy" with a posting by "stealth" and "left clicked" only to be advised I was not entitled to use this section. I have "so far" never been a "non-member" so my guess that by the use of the present escalation of the imagination the site is becoming to big for some ones "britches."

I guess I am to darn "old fashioned" but the "Allante Net" site is now becoming something any Washington bureaucrat would be proud of!
