This will be my 12th to the last post on the main board!

[V117collector]

This will be my last post on the main board! It's makes know senses for me to continue, I'm just a target for some’ disgruntled collectors who only use me for there daily persona punching bag.

The pre- war' industry is mostly full of nice people even though some member can’t stand me? (No ones perfect including my "selfish")... Yes I'm also surprised I lasted this long! Why sure I care if know else does??

I have never lied or stole’ still some collector consider me a treat… Well the bored is all yours, free from Brad’s mind, what a waste!

I'm only human! The punching bag has finally droped!

See you around,

Ditto that -- if people want to stop posting so be it. But I guess angry people like to slam doors.

Hey Jeff,

I've been meaning to ask you if you've ever seen "Fight Club"?

[botn]

Ta ta...

Thanks for the heads up. I am grief stricken. My condolences to the board. Please help yourselves to a tissue.

[slantycouch]

Swan songs never seem to work well on message boards.

To quote a wise, valued and dear member of the board:

"When the meteors kill the dinosaurs off of this board, that will be a day the board moves into a new epoch... a time when the collective knowledge has been significantly diminished."

Alas, with this announcement, I fear the propesized day has arrived.

Brad, if you're really leaving, since you won't be needing it, can I have your demerit?

[calvindog]

How do we know that this is really Brad posting? I don't buy it.

[Leon]

Homophones give me problems too!!

You thinking computer virus... or alien invasion?

[docpatlv]

Jeff,

If you're serious, I was thinking the same thing at first, but his post count is the same. He has also deleted some items off the B/S/T.

Good rule of thumb for the board - by default read all of Jeff's posts assuming sarcasm was intended; only if reading it sarcastically isn't possible should you assume he was being literal.

[docpatlv]

Matt,

I've learned to do that with RobD...I'll have to add Jeff to the list

Yeah… I made a homophobic thread years ago and I think it’s was called (What’s the Gayest looking prewar baseball card)… D304 Fred Markle was my pick!



I thought it would’ve been a funny thread but I quickly realizes there’s a lot of homosexuals on the board who were offended and for that I am truly SORRY. I meant no harm and quickly realizes a WAR was brewing (DAMN!).. Living in Vancouver B.C. the San Francisco of the North West I should of known better!!! I have no problems with anyone here on the board and sexual orientation should be the last thing on peoples mind same with race. It just doesn’t matter!

The thread I post years ago would be like a red neck posting who’s the blackest ball player in baseball (((Frank Thomas))). I guess most black people or mixed have tough skin and it takes a lot to offend. My motto is if there's not a brick through the windows everything is fine (SLAM)!

I didn’t know how to spell very well 3years ago due to a reading disability that’s why I posted YouTube clips in my defense. Now that have improve and able to write my thoughts in detail. Believe me I’m not a raciest or a homophob, just a guy how made a misstep in the wrong place!

[batsballsbases]

Brad,
Take care now and always remember " Dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out"

[kkkkandp]

I have been reading this thread with a mix of emotions, but Brad's last post made me laugh out loud.

[Leon]

A double yikes on the homophones issue. I guess "not that there is anything wrong with a homophone". I am sure they have been called worse. I used to be a waiter, before my IT days, and we had lots of homophones working there......They were usually easy to get along with....Actually, I have some good friends that are homophones....

Brad- you ought to hang around....everyone gets ragged on every now and then. But if you decide to go you are always welcome back whenever you want to....take care

btw, this sort of reminds me of the ole Gilda Radner (RIP) skits...............bitch

[batsballsbases]

Brad,
Frank Thomas is Black? I didnt know that And to think for all these years I never knew

[V117collector]

I just want to collect beaball cards in peace, really! If you HATE me let me know why, I just don't understand (no pun intended) why I get the whip so much!

I've a strang feeling I going to get run over by a Bus one of this days!

Does this mean you're going to edit the title of this thread?

Yeah..The thread should be called "the closer we get, the closer we are"..

[Leon]

I gotcha covered on the title of the thread. I threw in a few extra posts to spare, just in case you can't hold back. You now still have some room left to post and be correct.....take care

[Cat]

This will be my 12th to the last post on the main board!

This sounds like a statement I often make when drinking beer: "This is one of my last ones!"

[kkkkandp]

Leon:

Gilda's Emily Litella character was exactly what ran through my mind.

Thanks Leon, it's makes sense! I'm glad to be part of this awesome forum, it really is a good site. I learnt so much in so little time!

I'm laughing so hard that I have a tear running down my cheek.

I guess it takes a tough man to make a tender post.

[barrysloate]

Brad- I don't think anybody hates you...well, I can't speak for everyone, but I don't hate you- but when you make a comment (to paraphrase) such as "I know there are a lot of homosexuals on the board"- well you are going to get yourself in repeated hot water...not to mention the "Frank Thomas is very black" thing. These quips won't make you new friends.

At least I'm not alone on that one!

My favorite Frank Thomas story... (apologies to Al C. who heard this one last week.)


In 1962 the NY Mets had the worst team in the history of baseball, but they had a HOF centerfielder in Richie Ashburn. Several times, early in the season, Ashburn had been run over by shortstop Elio Chacon, while chasing pop-ups. After one bruising collision, he went to the coaches. He was told that Chacon spoke no English, so instead of yelling "I got it!", he should yell "Yo la tengo!"

Ashburn called a players meeting, with translators, and they agreed to this change.

Next game, along comes a pop-up. Asbburn comes charging in yelling "Yo la tengo! Yo la tengo!" Out of the corner of his eye he sees Chacon slam on the brakes. He reaches for the pop and gets steam-rollered by left fielder Frank Thomas. Thomas spoke no Spanish and... had skipped the players meeting. Ball drops. Batter is on second. Runners have scored.

As he helps Ashburn to his feet, Thomas says to him, "What the hell is a yellow tango?"

Barry,

Think this whole homophone thing started because I posted a Freddy Mercury picture?

[barrysloate]

Jim- please don't expect me to explain this thing.

[docpatlv]

JimVB,

It wasn't the Freddy Mercury photo, it was the red sticker next to him that says "12-inch Maxi single".

[D. Bergin]

One of the funniest OT threads I've seen on this board. LOL!!!


Nice to see some guys let their guards down.

Sounds like the Jews/Bankers are out to get you. First 9/11 and now this. What will they think of next?

I will look at my Frank Thomas cards in a little different light now thanks to that story.

[Buythatcard]

The Yellow Tango story was a riot!

[egbeachley]

Am I the only one who looked up the definition of homophone? Or did I just ruin an inside joke?

[Cat]

I actually enjoy Brad's posts, although after I stop laughing I have to run them through my "V117Collector to English" translator.

Your title reads that this is your next to 12th last post on this board, yet your post begins with the sentence that this is the last post on the board.

???

Please be concise and consistent when stating your goals, otherwise you risk being misunderstood and possibly rendered irrelevant.

If it's your 12th to last post, then I anxiously await the topics of your final 11!
If this was your last, then we bid farewell. I have no idea who you are or what you've contributed or what set you off, but best of luck in future travels!

Leon changed it to "12th to last" after it became apparent that Brad was continuing to post, despite his initial ominous threat to the contrary.

In Brad's defense I changed the title after he had posted several more times. I was just trying to help another collector out.....all in fun, which is what the hobby is supposed to be about, lest we forget?
