Have you ever been to a ghost town?

[Dave Nowlin]

I have have. I just went over to Gen Pop. It's deader than a frog after a semi runs over it.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

frogger........

[Dave Nowlin]

That's really dead. That's what they want. I now understand the deal. When they wake up in the morning they want the same post on top that was there when they went to bed with no additional posts. No wonder they don't like AT. With all the activity over there at night, that post would now be seven or eight pages from the top.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

yep........

[Dave Nowlin]

We got it figured out. Who would have thought they were lazy?
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

ahhh... we just don't fit into their profile is all

[Dave Nowlin]

Oh, well!

I lost you guys for a while.Don't you know if you have fun someone else gets mad.

[Luckiduc13]

We can have just as much fun here and keep the clutter down too.

Exactly! Geez Dave, give it up, what is the big deal! No one is asking (telling) you to stop posting in any forum, we went over this in pm's but apparently you only want to hear (read) what you want to. I know you hate me now but I still like you and your posts. Happy New Year

Reminds me: what do you call Batman and Robin after they get hit by a semi?



Flatman and Ribbon.

Have a great evening all.

[Dave Nowlin]

Apparently, in spite of my best efforts ot make myself clear, some still don't understand. I said when I first came to this forum things were very loose with little structure. People were posting about broadheads in General, quivers in general, arrow selection in General, Outfitter rating in General and many other things which had proper sections. No one complained, no one seemed to care. And that really is fine. In fact it was refreshing to have a little less structure. The site has now grown and some object to myself and a few others late night posting in General. We meant no disrespect toward anyone we were just having fun in a ghost town. No one but us was posting. On AT at that time of night there would be 60 or more on the board. We were amusing each other and trying to keep the board alive. That was even mentioned in some of our posts. If I have a problem with posting practices of another member I believe it would probably be right for me to PM that member and even talk with them on the phone if they so desire. Typing on this or any other forum will never be as personal a method of communication as conversation. There is no voice inflection, which can tip off the tone of conversation better than any other method short of face to face. That way problems can be quietly solved in a non-confrontational manner, which is in the best interest of this board. When one member calls another out in a manner which clearly identifies who the other party is that person doesn't have to be named. It is clear to all. Whether the accuser wants to admit it or not the accuser had someone in mind and tryed to identify that person without naming names.

At this point in the life of this board, I and others who were posting late at night have chosen to accept the suggestion we take it to Off Topic. This will hopefully avoid further confrontation. It seems that some aren't happy with our accepting the suggestion. This really has me confused. I stated earlier very sincerely my objectives and was accused of sarcasm. I realize some people sometimes say fine when they are angry and that isn't what they really mean. That was not the case with me. I was using the word in it's more traditional usage. Which means, that's O.K. with me. I said I and others would continue to post in other areas of the board when we could add something in a postive helping way to a post. I said we would confine our little one liners among ourselves and our humor to Off Topic. What more must we do to make the rest of you happy?

Well put brother Dave. And as for the questions of the "grinch" referrence it refers to no one. but a mere reference to the uptight feeling i've gotten from the responses to my light heartedness... i'm a jokester. don't have but maybe a few serious bones in my body, outside of work. when you are put to work that can have life and death consequences you tend to try and seperate that out of your life and enjoy your down time, this is my outlook on it at least. i understand some people are tight laced or want to run a tight ship which is fine for them... but if you complain about wading through our bull then why read it after we've put it in it's suggested place?? other than to try to pick things out of context and make accusations as such have been made. if there is other reasons behind it i'd like to hear it....

thanks

[Dave Nowlin]

So now I sit here with my party hat on celebrating New Years in a ghost town with a few friends. Happy New Year Ghosts!!!:D
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

[Dave Nowlin]

Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

[Dave Nowlin]

Nothing. In fact I'm happier than a dead pig in the sunshine.
Dave nowlin

[Elite@Last]

speakin of pigs.... i'm gonna go back to work early.:D

[Dave Nowlin]

Well slop the other pigs when you get there.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

soon as i get my notification after the hearing if i'm denied i'm going back to work...

[Dave Nowlin]

What hearing? You keep talking about a hearing but I haven't heard about the hearing.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

Dave Nowlin

check your pm's

[Dave Nowlin]

Okey and also Dokey.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

i'm not happy about the whole situation to be honest.... i don't like my future plans resting in someone else's hands....

[Dave Nowlin]

I don't mind. God has been good to me. Put yourself in His hands and trust Him to work this out for the good. He never fails.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

true... but the people on the decision end of the deal may not be followers of the lord..:(

[Dave Nowlin]

You need to spend time in study of your Bible. In the Old Testament, God used many people to work out his will and all of them weren't believers.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

well... the worst that can come of this whole thing is my family and i just move back to Canyon(outside Amarillo).. and just think.. i'll be closer to Mike's shop then.. and i may be able to make a trip or two up there to bug the tar out him....:D

[Dave Nowlin]

You got it wrong. It's tar the bug out of him.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

either way it should be a blast.... for me at least:D

[Crackers]

I don't need no tar I left that in Ca and we have plenty of bugs

[Dave Nowlin]

They look good shining in your teeth as you ride that sickle around and around.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

I don't need no tar I left that in Ca and we have plenty of bugs

well... thanks for the invite...:o

[Dave Nowlin]

Hmm, you must have seen something in that I didn't. Are you sure he invited you? He said they already had to many pests, uuhh I mean bugs.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

yeah... that was my attempt at sarcasm/embarrassment. hence the :o

[Crackers]

You are more then welcome to come up just don't bring no tar and bugs

[Elite@Last]

see what a professional he is... he has back pedaling down pat...:D j/k

i'm just giving you a hard time.... i'm sure you wouldn't turn down a little extra business no matter how swamped you are. i'd definitely like to see what a real shop looks like..

[Dave Nowlin]

Yeah, he said you can come. Just bring money, lots of money.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

Yeah, he said you can come. Just bring money, lots of money.
Dave Nowlin

knowin me.... i'd need it... i can never go into any kind of an archery store without buying something... i have a problem... at least that's what my wife tells me.

[Crackers]

I promise I will have plenty of stuff on hand to buy

[Dave Nowlin]

Mikie is no help at all to a recovering bowaholic.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

I promise I will have plenty of stuff on hand to buy

that's what my wife and pocket book are afraid of....:D

we've actually been talking about it... after my wife gets back to being able to shoot a bow...gonna bring her up to you and rig her out.. and maybe get one or two for me...:D

[Elite@Last]

Mikie is no help at all to a recovering bowaholic.
Dave Nowlin

who said anything about recovering...lmao

[Dave Nowlin]

Recovering your families finances.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

that's why i'm going back to work early... i gotta couple of bows in the works... i don't want to tap into the savings... so i gotta go back and be a regular working stiff..

i can't wait til my wife goes back to work... then i'll have my sugar momma back...lmao

she makes way more than i do... but i don't mind:D

[Crackers]

I make the bread in our family but the wife makes the money

[Dave Nowlin]

So you got a sugar momma keeping you up, huh>
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

well... the last full year she worked she made a little over 90k... and i make 4grand a month...... so you do the math... i don't care though... i make enough to pay all of our bills by myself so... we do alright. when she's not knocked up....which reminds me... i gotta doctors appointment Friday:eek:

[Crackers]

That thought huRT

[Dave Nowlin]

He's almost becoming a gelding. I hear those snippers snipping. Hey that would make a good song. I claim the bass part.
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

He ain't singing bass after that visit

[Dave Nowlin]

Yeah, he's joining the Vienna Boys Choir.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

you guys crack me up..... i'm sitting here laughing @ 3am... when i need to go to bed before my kids get up.....

[Crackers]

You won't be laughing after that appointment

[Dave Nowlin]

Why? We're talking about breakfast now.:D
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

my brother said it feels like you get kicked in the scrotum.... and it stays like that for about a week.... but hey... i guess it's my turn to take one for the team...

(taps playing in the background)

they've been good to me..... and i'm gonna miss em. rest in piece:D or should i say pieces:eek:

[Crackers]

We talk food any more I'll have to go fix something to eat

[Dave Nowlin]

What time will the brains and eggs be ready?
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

I think I'm going to make a bacon and horseradish sandwich

[Dave Nowlin]

I hope you're using good pepper cured bacon.
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

We don't all live in the south and we do with what we have

[Dave Nowlin]

It must be a real hardship living up there, with all the good food down here. Okra, purple hull peas, butter beans, corn on the cob, boiled crawfish, cajun fried turkey, chicken gumbo, boudain, smoked catfish, hush puppies, crawfish etouffee, brown rice, southern corn bread, country ham but no sweet tea.
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

I can do all that stuff except the Okra and no sweet tea is a good think. Tea shouldn't be sweet

[Dave Nowlin]

Okra stewed or fried is really good stuff and in fact it's good pickled too.
Dave Nowlin

[Luckiduc13]

NO sweet tea! Are you kiddin' , those are fighten wurds!

[Dave Nowlin]

Sweet tea makes people grow up ugly. I bet that's why you wear that big helmet.
Dave nowlin

[Soumi]

Wow, not one new post in OT overnight. :eek: You guys are really slowing down. What am I going to read in the morning? :confused: ;)

[dch3k]

Wow, not one new post in OT overnight. :eek: You guys are really slowing down. What am I going to read in the morning? :confused: ;)

my thoughts exactly I got up and was wondering what happened I look forward to it guys..dont hold out now you cant possibly have had something better to do or been sleeping??

[Luckiduc13]

Bunch of wimps I say!

[Dave Nowlin]

I can't do this all by myself. Elite@Last played hookey last night. Some of ya'll could stay up and join in. The midnite shift doesn't have to consist of just Elite@Last, Mikie & me.

Dave Nowlin

I would if I could but I cant so I wont...... how late are you up any how 2 or 3am and back up at what time 6 am or are you just crawling out of bed now..lol?

[Dave Nowlin]

Sometimes 8 am, sometimes 9 am, sometimes 5 am. It all depends on what is on my plate for a given day. A while back I was on here until about 2 am and up at 5 am. That isn't something I want to do all the time. It makes old people tired.

[Dave Nowlin]

This could be a turning point for you. The first step is admitting you have a problem. ;) :p :D

It's a good thing.
Dave Nowlin

[Elite@Last]

[Crackers]

I think you meant drug out because he's gone

[Dave Nowlin]

Who's gone?
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

You were but I heard you were yacking about a catch phrase for my shirts

[Dave Nowlin]

One of us has to be witty or was that a nit wit?
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

I have the second half of that statement covered

[Dave Nowlin]

Oh well.
Dave Nowlin

[Crackers]

Deep hole :D

[Dave Nowlin]
