The "Must Post" Thread

[Ultra]

With no forums at AW to hold him, that is a good question.

[Rich]

Why, thank you.   That'll be $300.

Who is this Rushman you speak of?  ???

[Rich]

If I have to explain (were it that I could), you wouldn't understand..... ???

Nice use of the subjunctive pluperfect there, rich!   :hah:

Back in a galaxy far, far away, there was a website called The Combustion Chamber sponsored by AutoWeek magazine. Rich and Ultra and KU and AD and I met over there and have drifted from one place to another since the site was shut down by the management.  There was this fellow named Rushman who had a stream of consciousness style of delivery that would have done justice to your average in-patient in the locked ward at Bellevue.  Entertaining? Defininitely.  Sane?  Decidedly not. For those of you who have never had the pleasure, try to imagine a cross between Prof. Irwin Corey and Stephen Hawking.   :o
























Now double it!    ;D

Couldn't have said it better myself....

...now, where were those aliens??

Watchin' Hollywood Knights on Speed's Lost Drive-In...Fran Drescher was hot in 1980...

Fran Drescher was hot in 1980...

2006 sucks.

[porridgehead]

Well alright then. I've encountered similar, although they all seem to be singularities.

Here's an easier question, maybe: what happened to the Autoweek forums? I had just joined when they vanished.

They knew I was coming back so they took them down.

Hang on to your ego. They shut them down because they knew I wasn't returning.  ;D

They threw a party when I left. O0

[Otto Puzzell]

They hired hookers to lure me back.

That would scare you away.

The sad thing there is that, IMO, they dumped a good thing w/ CC2.  IIRC, they didn't like the "bickering" re- the political threads, some of the most entertaining reading I've done in years, BTW....

[Ultra]

I would like to run AW's forums.......

;D

[Rich]

It would seem to be something that, if given the time and inclination, could have been done quite well, and increased the profitability (re- the advertising "click" revenue) of the rag.  But what do I know?...I'm letting my subscription go this year after over twenty years of subscribing......

I quit subscribing the day they threatened to take the orignal CC away from everyone because I put a link to it on CC2.  That was also the day I left the original CC, with bombast, to prevent the rest of CC from losing their forum. 

Who knew then that group would follow me out the door?

Not me.

Now, I can't help but think it is too bad they didn't follow me one last time.    ;)   To each their own. O0

All things in good time, my friend......

All things in good time, my friend......

Time will tell.

:-X

It always has....

Now...how's about we get some snow out here?
