My reflections of A.S.

[angelo c]

If I were in Jersey like you, I'd have to quote George Carlin.. Heck, he even went as far as naming the show.. "What the hell am I doing in New Jersey?"

Nice job...
That's how we makes friends 'round these parts.

 

[Turbo BBQ]

The grail of the jap saws......

Just some of my concerns. I love this site, as it was my first forum. The banter, the laughs and the overall atmosphere here is great. I'm hoping we can right a few wrongs. I definitely believe its 'a few bad apples', but we seem to follow their lead, instead of overuling their ruden

Just some of my concerns. I love this site, as it was my first forum. The banter, the laughs and the overall atmosphere here is great. I'm hoping we can right a few wrongs. I definitely believe its 'a few bad apples', but we seem to follow their lead, instead of overuling their rudeness.

I am in agreement with gologit. I've not been here as long a him, but he pretty well sums AS up. Having said that, there are some folks that I miss a lot. Lakeside for example, although I see him post now and then, Thall also, just for a couple. Boy if those two couldn't figure out what was wrong with a saw you might just as well junk it. I first came here trying to figure out why my Poulan wouldn't cut. Mind you I had been cutting since my early 20's (I'm 64 now), and I got an answer right off from gasoline, the answer was right on and polite and interesting, I always read his posts, they were interesting, and he hated oil threads. I've not seen a post from him in a long time, I hope he is well. The answer by the way was that I had a SAFETY chain. I had never heard of such, and still think that the concept is crazy, but that's just me. I ground off the safety bars and that baby cut like a beaver on roids. Been a lot of changes since I came here, and I'm not around as much as I used to be, but it is the only saw forum that I go to. By the way nobody answered Jeff Lary, what is T.z" anyway. JR

Guess you guys didn't realize Turbo BBQ was BA.

 

[Gypo Logger]

I just realized something. AS is a melting pot. 80% of members moved on and gave up on saws or possibly got a life,died, ended up in jail, committed suicide, moved to Australia or are now in a mental institution or rehab centre.

Uncle Moustache talks to Avalancher sometimes, as far as i know he's doing well, just busy. He didn't come back after AS was hacked.

It's never funny if you have to explain the joke but....

Jon's comment is hysterical because your first statement is...." I can't read all 22 pages....but"
And Jon responds "TL : dR" ...that my friend ...is comedic poetry.

I am humble enough to admit it was partially lost on me. But now it's funny in spite of the explanation.

Humility is just one of my many remarkable qualities.

Yes, I suspected. Which is why I kept my response very terse.

 

[towingace]

I found a dictionary this morning. I thought, cool, I can use that to figure out what some of these words, that I haven't seen before, mean.

So...I open it up, to see what "terse" means & WTF...it's in Spanish! Guess I'll figure it out later.

Can I set you on fire, sir?

Nice job...

I'm confused now
If you take exception to that, take it up with Carlin

It was a compliment, not a sarcastic jab. A welcoming of sorts..

No exception taken at all.

It's ok, I saw some irony in the fact that the OP was about the somewhat degraded site and we all kinda posted reasons for that "fall off"
Best as I can tell the reasons were:

Natural life cycles
The ad bucks hack
And brush ape....

If the 22 pages was too long didn't read for y'all, let me paraphrase, (get you up too speed)... Soon more pie and hopefully titties and bacon.......
