FastPat, the second comming

Well it seems to have become a tradition to invade FastPat on the weekend after the 4th of july.
We started out in fine fasion with a few friends having dinner out, in the downtown Greenville SC area. Tomorrow we invade Pat all proper like, when the rest of the troops assemble. They are currently planning thier attack plan from the NC mountians.
Stay tuned, same bat time same bat channel

He was banned because he was a Troll and nasty one at that. Doing what he did, especially to a moderator, is guaranteed to get you banned.

IMHO He deserved what happened and if he wants to re-join he can always email Wayne and ask to be back on the forum.

Prials and Mrs. Prials showed Beth and I around Greenville last night after dinner. This is a great little town. The downtown area has been rehabbed wonderfully. If you have never been here, and you are passing through the area you should put it on your list of relaxing places to see. There were no less that 6 outdoor music events going on, the river, and the way they have built to go along with it is worth the trip. (sorry was too dark for pics ) It is funny, for a town that has a BMW facility here, they sure like thiers Mercedes.
Plans for today, Pat is going to swing by and pick me up this morning, and I am gonna give he and Linda some help with final set-up for the invasion. You should hear the menu, the grill is gonna get a good workout.
I am (stupidly) turning Beth lose for some retail therapy, and a ammo run. ( I brought guns, just forgot to bring the ammo) Well the cannons are loaded, just not the long stuff.
Yes folks we are planning an event this year.
Pics will be posted, this should be a good one, and being in SC I suspect we will have an ample supply of fireworks. (Prials already stated he has a trunk full)

With a little help from his friends, his vineyard is off to a good start.
In short, he has better things to do.
Besides, with Bill taking charge there's really no need.
He sure liked it a lot when he didn't have his vineyard. He must have gone through a complete life change.

Tell Pat hi! Pat sometimes liked to push other's buttons, like a few around here, but I always ignored that stuff (like I do most). I miss his perspective on lots of other things (non political, and the same applies to WWidebody & Mul(1/2/e))

Sounds like when I was a teenager. The only thing missing is a ropeswing and a river.
Y'all have fun!!

You miss him? Really? Nice memory.
All he did was cut and paste things that were so extreme they were guaranteed to cause controversy. Then when someone took a stance other than his he got nasty and insulting. He did this 10 or 12 times a day, every day. That gentlemen is a troll.

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

We kicked a guy out of our 20,000 member m/c club for acting like FastPat was. He was the kind of guy you wanted to reach thru the computer screen and strangle.

I had the pleasure of sitting in judgement of his appeal. Upon meeting him in person, he was polite, meek and humble. He claimed he just really enjoyed pi$$ing people off. Life is better w/o him.

I'm sure he is a nice guy in person. I'd bet he's also intelligent, witty, and charming.
In real life he's probably a great guy and I'd probably like him.

But on PPOT he was a troll. Trolls are bad.
