Absolutely true story.

I'm in the Post Office and talking Red Sox with the Post Master. In
walks this well dressed guy and asks where Woodstock, CT is.

Now on his way into town (and I know this because I saw him drive into
the parking lot) there are twelve signs saying something about
Woodstock. For instance, right at the Putnam/Woodstock town line
there is a HUGE sign waying welcome to Woodstock. He had to pass
Woodstock Plaza - another big sign. He had to drive past the
Woodstock Fair Grounds which you can't miss. The huge Woodstock
Community Bulletin Board which posts things like retirements,
homecomings for troops, town events, etc., named oddly enough, the
Woodstock Community BB, Woodstock Commons. And as he pulls into the
PO parking lot, there is a huge sign that says USPS Woodstock, CT, S.
Woodstock annex.

Now get this. He's looking for NEPS (a local handicapped/rehab place
that does work with the more challenged of lifes's inhabitants) in
which the S. Woodstock PO is located - another big sign right next to
the car.

Here's the funny part. The Post Master looks at me, I looked at him
with this "WTF?" look and the Post Master says "I have no idea". So
the guy thanks him, turns and walks out, gets in his car and leaves!!

Abut two minutes later, he pulls back in, gets out, slams the car door
shut and stomps into NEPS. :)


Canadian?


Hey, excuse the interruption, but...your pictures 'over there' were great!
You must have had a blast. Where were you flying?

I flew out of Buchanan Field, Concord. We flew on the back side of Mt.
Diablo. The Sacramento Delta to the North, SF Bay to the West, the mountain
to the south and Los Vaqueros Reservoir to the east.

Simple, it's a port visit without full embarkment. CO probably
decided
it was ok. Nothing wrong with that.
If you had a slight clue as to hard a Sailor works, how little they
are
paid, and how long they're gone for, you'd understand why something
like
this is a huge deal. Probably the only time in their career this
will
happen. It will go far in motivating them to a deeper motivation in
serving.

Relax...I grew up in a navy town and still live here.
This is America. We must fight, or at least look for an argument, even
if
there is no enemy anywhere. We'll make one.
I must admit I threw the bike issue in just to rev up a couple of the
regulars in here. Looks like I'm getting more than my monies worth.
It is good to see you admit that the only reason you come to rec.boats
and make posts in rec.boats is to "rev up a couple of the regulars in
here". Ok, stand up and say " I am Don, I am a newsgroup Troll". The
first step is to admit your problem.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -
Sir Reggie, I really don't think Don is a troll, as of to speak. If he
truely isa troll, then he's an extremely mild of a troll, compared to
a couple others in here. Especially considering there is a self
proclaimed, anonimous, "cement expert" , that pops in to rec.boats
quite frequently seemingly to only spew forth wisdom on how everone
else is dumb as a post".

I know nothing about sail boating,and really don't have much desire to
know about sail boating, but if I needed to ask about sailing, I'm
sure Don would be equiped to answer my questions with accuracy and
ligitimacy.


Thanks Tim. I was forced to 'black ball' Waylon Smithers last winter when
he showed his true colours regarding a highly respected lady who left here
for new Orleans and was murdered.

Don,
Are you talking about the time you used that poor woman's death as your
troll to start another one of your Canada vs USA trolls?

Tim,
According to Don own admisstion, he is a "Newsgroup Troll"
http://www.binaries.net/articles/newsgroup_trolls.htm
Newsgroup Trolls


What are Newsgroup Trolls?

Newsgroup trolls are people who join a Usenet discussion group or
newsgroup with one goal: to provoke other newsgroup subscribers and to
cause a flame war. A flame war is basically a bad argument where
discussion becomes very heated, people get angry and verbal abuse is
often used. A newsgroup troll uses provocative and slanderous language
to provoke other newsgroup users.

According to Don, he made this post for the following reason:
"I must admit I threw the bike issue in just to rev up a couple of the
regulars in here. Looks like I'm getting more than my monies worth."

It was also one of his infamous Canada vs USA trolls.

For those of you who are dictionarily challenged apropos means:

fitting; at the right time; to the purpose.

Ok, that was a cheap shot.

I'm sorry.

Really.

Honest.

No kidding.

I'll never do that again.
