I actually read through a good part of of the 2008 thread. It just seems that MoT has lost some of it's je ne sais quoi. Where is the "I'll kick your skinny little ass in the parking lot"? Where is the "You're so old you look like John Secco"? Where is the banter, the joviality, the fun? Where is the "Hey 3M, I'm freakin' kidding, get over it, will ya"? Where is the anticipation? It seems like a conveyor belt. An assembly line. More announcements of the "fun to be had" then the actual "fun being had".

But hey. What was then is not now, what is now, unfortunately, has good potential of being better than the future.

I'll go now. My furlough is over anyway. My coat's hanging in the corner, it's the straightjacket. Help me into it if you will. But not quite as tight as last time please. Made me fart.

Bite Me!

Where? Give me a general location. Last time I saw you there was some real estate there. I wouldn't know where to start. Hey, 3M, I'm kidding..........

Oooops......am I starting a banter? Or was it you? Damn. I need to get a life.

You know ... I actually agree with some of what you say, Jeff. We have lost a lot of the old timers, and we have lost much of the banter to other forums ... we are left with the bare essentials of announcements.

But on the day, those old timers that do show up, and all the new owners too, will be sure to have a great time just like we all did in years gone by

Great spin on the situation Ian. You oughta work for McCain.

What other forums are you talking about?

[yellowmininy]

Hey, Baker, it's only fun if the fun people show up. I'd hate to miss an opportunity to say 'bite me!' For those of you who might have missed the previous years of multi-thousand, year long anticipation of MOT, the banter is always the best part.

So we've been slacking. I'm sure there's time to make up for it.

Quack Quack Jack is in the house, fresh from NATO HQ, among a few thousand other places...

You sweet-talker, you! Now I understand how you were able to talk your way out of that sexual harassment lawsuit at work.

See now? There's some banter. Spark up the forum a bit. Antagonize the locals, stick pins in the voodoos.

And that sexual harassment suit at work has no merit. At least not until the court decision. I mean, how can you believe 14 other guys? It's a conspiracy I tell you.

And as for you yellowminicarnyupstate........I don't believe we've met. But if you want to toss out a bite me or two I'll accept it gracefully. I'm like that, gracious, and all that. Ask Annette. She'll back me up. Maybe. Or maybe not.

So I guess I agree. You'se all have been slacking. Time to get off the pot and start the preliminaries. All six of you.

[rfinprc]

Seven.

[GBMINI]

Of Nine?

[Sheenabea]

I would love to see the book/journal for QQJ if you bring it with you to MOT... It would be cool to read about all the places and people he has met!

[scho06]

Just got my packet today, MOT is getting closer!!!

[blalor]

We gave your packet some extra-special love, scho.

Sheesh, Baker, I've met you at least twice, though once was at the beer table at MOT (2004 or 2005?) so that might explain it. I guess you can't bite me if you can't recognize me.

I thought the package looked a bit wrinkled........
