How do you explain this???
Hawk
Karma +58/-58

Karma +58/-58
Coincidence? I think not. Obviously a hidden cult involving black helicopters and Area 51!!! :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh:
Apparantly that's the magic number for spotting the award winning post. :biggrin:
regarding how I got there, I'm not going to out the individual responsible, yet.
Don't bother me. I'm watching Helio and Julianne on Dancing with the Stars on Tivo over and over again. My wife thinks we're spending quality time together, but that Julianne......... :boink: :biggrin:
I don't understand the Karma thing period.... and I belong to another forum that has that too. what's the deal?
but I completely understand the spider signature line..... I hate spiders.
Rocky could explain it to you 'cause nobody likes him anyway, but he's not here.
Anyway, you know how they say there is good Karma and bad Karma? (Like if you stiff the waitress something bad will happen to you.)
This is just an extension of that..... if somebody says something that pisses you off you can give them a smite (listed in the left column below your name). If you agree with something somebody says (or you just want to kiss up to them or piss somebody else off) you can give them good karma.
So by looking at somebody's Karma count you can tell if they're a good person or a bad person (except in my case - you can't believe everything you read!)
Mostly it's just for fun. Nothing like the threat of a smite to get them to come around to your way of thinking! :thumb:
Rick (from St. Peters) :biggrin:
awwww, I've got a -1, so that means somebody didn't like what I said??? wolf........
Did you do something to his bike when it was in the crash truck?? :ass:
I only came close to dropping one bike in the trailer, and it wasn't wolf's. and you have no idea how many muscles I pulled pushing it back up until help arrived. (the fella was a bit short for the bike) I've got bruises from one end to the other after each event. can't say I'm not dedicated to my job. :biggrin: I've got permanent marks from Lance's bike on the back of my leg. but that was just from helping him unload it.
so, you are rick..... I'm bad with names, good with faces. only rick I can think of out this way I thought was from Foristell. he also helped me on the dist. crew.
I worked with you and Ron, Eddie and Bob Morris do distribution at NHRA in '06. I ride the blue/white BMW.
I was right!! somebody said somewhere along the line that you were from Foristell. that's a suburb of St. Peters right? just kidding.
Be careful..... you could get a smite for that!! :biggrin:
Just kidding, if you want to know how to get more smites I'll be happy to give you some tips!
who are you trying to kid? I get myself in enough hot water for 3 or 4 people. I'm just relatively new to this forum. which is fine, I can't stand being bored. I'm amazed you have that many smites though, I always took you for a fairly easy going, quiet fella....
I have to admit I had some professional help to get that total.
I did get honored as the 'Resident Board Shit Disturber' award winner for 2007. At least somebody told me that! :biggrin:
now really people, I've been talking directly to somebody I know, and I still get another -1 smite. I think that karma thing is rigged. :err:

Probably for talking to Rick :biggrin:
Oh, what do you know Becka, you ride a pink bike for Christsakes!! :ass:
:lmao: at least y'all are fun to talk to. and it looks like y'all never sleep either.
Becka knows that it's a good thing to talk nice to the Crash Truck Driver (except for Rob, of course!)
Karen, you gave Becka's bike a ride at Gateway in June. Turn 6 wasn't it? I don't think Becka got to ride along with you though. She got a boo-boo on her arm that needed a fashion accessory.... something about a cast suitable for an inmate, right?
I believe I picked two women up out that direction that day. the one that sticks out in my head was the crash right before lunch in the torrential downpour. that was fun, I might as well gone swimming in my clothes. I was wringing water out of my shirt for some time and I looked like a drowned rat. :biggrin: I made my partner hold the bike for the ride back in, so he had it a little worse than I did.

Hey, that prison cast was cool. I had a place to hide my shank!
This would have been the same race that Paul James (Buell #9) went mechanical at turn 4 or 5. Becka passed him to take the lead only to go down in the same lap at turn 6. :banghead:

Gee thanks for reminding me :finger:
At least at HPT and MAM I was nice and picked it up myself.
Becka must have been the 2nd one that day. the one I'm thinking about was probably between turns 4 and 5 I think.... whoever she was, she had to wait in the rain while I took the first trailer load of bikes in. she kept apologizing for getting my seat wet, told her it couldn't be any worse than what I was doing to it myself. that day was something.
those first two track weekends this year ran me ragged. alot of crashes. the last 2 weekends went much better. :thumb:
This would have been at the CCS races in June.

You may remember me wandering in the grass for the pivot cover off my helmet. Sorry, it seemed important at the time.
Really, I love cornerworkers. No matter how many times you haul our broken crap back in and pick us up you're still friendly and nice every time.
that was a 3-day weekend for us. we had our track day friday. after 3 days of that, it all starts to run together.

we try to bring in everything we can find, ya never know what can be re-used. and for the record, I don't work corners anymore, I'm a little too high-strung for that. thats why I run the crash truck, I arrive afterwards and don't have to watch people I know crash. its tough enough to do the clean-up. I like to see the riders up & movin' by the time I get there. that's why we are so happy and friendly.

Well...if it's any consolation, I am proud of you for using the word "bursting" ( which as we all know is proper) instead of the more redneck "busting"...... :biggrin:

Now, if I would have gone into the middle of that dialog and said, 'anybody know of a shop that does good motor work?' I guess I would have maintained my proper personna!!! :thumb:

I guess when you get to using a word often enough in conversation it fits a lot of situations......
'Diddya see me bustin' my bottle of Bud over that SFB's haid?" (SFB=Shit for Brains=Kyle)
'Hell yeah! That sucker like to busted wide open!"
'That'll teach that littl' moron to try an' bust in when I'm talkin' to a lady!'
And with that, SFB (aka Kyle) came bustin' around the end of the bar and was all over the guy who hit him like a dog sniffin' out a chili tater tot!

Uh, yeah! And I don't even like blonds....
I was feeling kind of stressed today and decided to call a helpfull hotline. This is what i got when they answered.......
* If you are Obsessive-Compulsive,
please press 1 exactly 4 times.
* If you are Co-Dependent,
please ask someone to press 2 for you.
* If you have Multiple Personalities,
please press 3, 4, and 5.
* If you have Schizophrenia, listen carefully and a small, quiet voice will tell you which number to press.
* If you have Manic-Depressive (Bipolar) Disorder, press 6 and sometimes a wild man will try to sell you the Golden Gate Bridge, only to be cutoff and replaced with a lady who will answer and say she is too depressed to talk with you now.
* If you have Paranoid Delusions, we know who you are and what you want.
Just stay on the line so we can finish tracing the call.
* If you have Attention Deficit Disorder, press any numbers you can in rapid sequence.
It won't matter what the response is since you wouldn't remember it anyway.
I got depressed and just hung up.
