FastPat, the second comming

[MRM]

Tell Pat Hi from the Minnesota Yankees and to make sure to stand too close to his cannon next time he shoots it off. Preferably looking up the barrel.

[m21sniper]

Tell him i send my regards. He was one entertaining sumbiatch.

[Rick V]

Well we had a great day, burnt lots of fuel, killed alot of good tire tread, sent alot of clay pidgoens to thir grave and are getting ready to sit down to hand pulled BBQ. Life in the land of Pat is good.

[Seahawk]

The fact that he still gets into some OODA loops speaks volumes.

I frankly wanted to meet him, so I did. There have been a number of provocateurs since I started posting here, but none with the ability to keep me interested...Pat made me do homework before I replied to his fusillades. He was never boring, which, troll or not, is a gift.

I hope we will continue to do the yearly Steeplechase meet and greet. It is now less about him than his wonderful wife, Linda.

We had a good day as well, flew the Maule, swam in the lake and BBQ this evening so I guess life is good even w/o FP.

Enjoy!

This thread displays the fine community of forum members very well. Remembering and discussing a former member, long after he has left. A very nice touch! Respect!

Nice confederate flag. Were no swastikas available, or were they just not subtle enough?

That's the kind of remark that should have someone banned.

[Danny_Ocean]

Does anyone else hear ?

[MRM]

And I think the same about yours, Bert. The difference is your opinion supports a regime that rebelled against the US, supported slavery, and created the Jim Crow racial system that we are still paying for today. More Americans died in the war of southern secession than any other war. I don't see any reason to celebrate the "heritage" of such a flag any more than waving a swastika celebrates the "heritage" of German WWII Wermacht vets.

Well, in my humble opinion, if the first pinhead type of remark didn't get him banned then this one surely should!

Stating an opinion won't get you banned. Calling someone a "pinhead", however...

Take care and have fun guys--sorry I had to work this whole weekend or I would have brought the Benz along (could provide the smoke screen). Pat has helped me out in many times of auto need and even though I don't agree with him 100% on everything I still consider him a friend. Last year we had a great time tearing up the mountains and the dinner was incredible. Hopefully, next year I will have my 993 and can drop down to see you guys. Life is going well here in Winston-Salem and I miss all my SC Porsche buddies.

For all you fast pat ball huggers. He was a condensing thug. Never in my life had I wanted to meet someone and knock the ever living s-it out of them. Good riddance to the fat slob.

Must be nice to be perfect. I hope that one day I can be held in such high self esteme as to be able to make a comment like that.
Once again, I share an event that some people here like and the ones that don't cant just ignore the post. They have to jump in and do the exact same thing they acuse Pat of doing.
Gotta love the double standard

[bell]

i think everyone needs to just let it go, he doesn't post here anymore so you all got your wishes...........
you're letting the mere mention of someone who was banned get all your panties in a bunch........go enjoy life.....

It's one thing to be opinionated. It's another to exist only to cause turmoil and enjoy it.

His spirit lives on with some other copy-and-paste trolls here. If I'm not mistaken, it was dipso who linked to a Lew Rockwell conspiracy theory post just the other day.

I'm seeing stocks on the ziffod process, and sights at the forehead, but I'm not much of a shooter.
Looks like a fun day in the woods.

I didn't agree with half of the things fastpat said (especially the wasted bandwidth), but his right to speech "rung a bell" with this countryman. Thanks for sharing.
