I wish I could but it's an anonymous program.Does anyone over here have a sense of humor? So much anger.After reading the thread about mechanical problems with the H2, I can understand why. I'll shut up now. I really thought you would find it amusing on some level.

really can\'t 05-28-2005 02:21 PM

thanks tower- My faith has been restored.

HummerNewbie 05-28-2005 02:30 PM

I thought it was somewhat amusing. But considering the unjust and unrelenting bashing the H2 gets from tree huggers, it is no surprise to me if this thread gets really ugly. I am guessing here, but I believe that Tower was LMAO about the post by DRTYFN.

lexpro 05-28-2005 02:37 PM

me and the other guys working today (at a Toyota store) got a laugh out of it....it is by the way the same wording the AA uses according to one alchoholic that works here....

Well I guess thats another difference between liberals and people who live within the realms of reality.

It also might be because your first post on this board was about being a "gas hog". Then you follow it up by:

Oh, BTW I don't think Tower was giving YOU props .

Hey, why did you delete the post? The responses would have been funny! Trust me.

I thought the original post was amusing, perhaps partly because of my familiarity (though not personal) with 12 step programs. I didn't take it as an affront against Hummers.

I thought the Penn avatar was hilarious! I can’t make out exactly which expletives he is using or if he is making a “size” demonstration with his fingers. The ambiguity makes it even funnier for me.

Boy, ya gotta have a thick skin around here. Especially if you're gonna bark with the big dogs!

tower 05-28-2005 07:31 PM

Okay, I took another look and now realize he is saying "Shut the F@(% up!" I thought it was funnier before. Maybe ignorance really is bliss.

You sure about that?? It seemed pretty clear on my monitor, you might want to check your adjustments .

n2itnsd-
I never said anything about gashogs. I wrote this this morning and thought it was funny. I thought no group would be able to relate better than this one. My friends that own Hummers crack jokes all the time about how much gas they burn. It seems like a badge of honor or something. As I read the site, I came across the post where someone asked about who had alot of miles on their Hummer and if they had any trouble with them. I was shocked at how many people had experienced multiple problems with relatively low miles. I really didn't hope to upset anyone. I'm really not that kind of guy. I must have just run into a few agressive types having a bad day. I used to frequent sites with antagonistic members but I haven't frequented a site like that in a long time. If I came off as an ass, it was not my intention. Thank you to those that appreciated the humor.

Harley 05-28-2005 11:46 PM

No, you can't be a friend of Bill W.... you're a jerk and need to stay out of this forum... you have no idea what we think and do in life...

you need to shut the f*ck up and move along, little boy...

The one I wrote was funny. That other piece of drivel reads like a greenpeace newsletter. I've never seen it before. Takeoffs on the twelve steps are not a radical new idea.

By the way. I'm a friend of Jimmy K.

Move on, chief. You are above your pay grade around here. Also, it's gasOholics, not gasAholics.

Goodgrief Ken.
I'm gone for a few days and You are spoiling Our precious little Co-Pilot with Your rough as a cob mentality. I mean look at those beautiful fingers making such an ugly gesture. Co-Pilot please do not lower Yourself to the mentality of the members of this board including Myself. Your IQ is what has kept Us out of the cellar dweller catagore for so long and that with Your great writing skills.

Oh by the way I'm still in New York. It is interesting. Leaving for home late Wednesday. I rode the subway once, OK. Saw the naked cowboy they call him. He is brave that is for sure.
Riding an open deck tour bus Monday. Going to China town and Central Park with My Daughter and Her fiance. They want to ride horse carraige in Central Park.
Man I have found out it is cheaper to hire a Limo than to ride in a taxi or rent a car.
The thing that shocked Me which I had it figured out quickly but, did not say anything until My Daughter asked Dad what is it that stink all the time. I asked Her if it smelled similar to the waste treatment back home that is about 10 miles from Us but, with wind right You can get a whif of it. The sewer smell comes out of every grate You walk past. Surprised Us to say the least.

You can smell Falafle (sp?) everywhere, what is a falafle? I had lamb over rice on one lunch break and it was good. Saw Hair Spray and Movin Out on Broadway. Seeing Phatom Monday. So far they are Ok, liked Movin Out.
Took My 2 kids to Manhatan Ocean Club for seafood. Daughter wanted Halibut. $33 for one 8 ounce slab and nothing with it except bread. I had 1 crab cake and saute' mushrooms for $27. Oh well concierge recommend it and got reservations. They were booked but, had a cancelation so We got in. Lucky Me!
Experience was OK.
So far I have enjoyed the street food more than the resteraunts. Going to Hard Rock Cafe Monday. Purchased a express pass last year in Vegas. Supposed to let Me and My group to pass waiting line. Will see?
After kid practices 9am to 1pm She has the rest of the day free to sight see Monday until Phantom at 8pm. Anything someone can recommend to see?

I walked Madison Avenue and allot of the larger name streets I have heard of. Wanting to look at the financial distric.

Going to Macy's for sunglasses. Have always wanted a real nice pair. Anyone have any advice? They do not carry Oakley's but, Fossal.
Just got My wireless working Sunday. I paid but, they overlooked turning it on and I called back for almost 2 days and finaly guy figured it out on their end.

Well just wanted to say HI. I'll be checking if anyone has PM's with advice on anything and sunglasses.

Thanks Everyone and Ken quit being such a bad inluence on Co-Pilot.

Hi Taz!!

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. Lots of great shows. Did your daughter sing yet? Keep eating, the hotdogs are good up there as well.

That pic was not me! It was from our drive home from PA and I was bored- plus they had an anti-Bush sticker on there and you know how I love my Dubya. I had to- and yes Kenneth should refrain from posting unconsented finger pics.

(and for the record, I thought the 12 steps was a comical ribbing towards eco-nazis. Mean little monkeys.)

HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ 05-30-2005 08:36 PM

Hi CoPilot she sings Tuesday night.
