What Makes TABS Great

[tabs]

It certainly isn't because I say I am Great. That is so much rubbish as to almost be boring. It is mostly a joke that is on me. However I have taken one from the Madonna play book of success..if you say it long enough and loud enough sooner or later everyone will believe it.

But what really makes me unique is the unbending, relentless determination to get to the bottom of things to see how they work. One piece at a time, It isn't in the the saying of it, but in the doing of it. Someone once told me I am a conflict resolution artist.

Sometimes finding the solution to a problem is like threading the eye of a needle. A very small hole to go through, and sometimes it is for the grace of God that I find the passage to the other side that sets you free. To see what really is the truth of the matter.

That determination to get to the bottom of things has allowed me to achieve the goal of my life and that is peace of mind or to be one with yourself. I have always gone by the parable, What does it gain a man to gain the world only to lose his soul. We are here in this world for such a short period of time as to make fame and fortune a fleeting bit of gossamer, an illusion. So what becomes important in ones life is the capacity to love, and no one can take that away from you. That and as my Grandfather used to say the knowledge you acquire along the way.

Now the goal for me is to apply that pile of sticks I have assembled to the world. To leave a little something of myself behind. That has been my intention in writing what I have written in this place. For if I can fire a synapse or two in my readers head I will have moved the world long after my name has been forgotten and I have turned to dust.

Was all you needed to say.

Tabs, you need to get serious and honest with yourself. There are so many things that make you great that posting the entire list is impossible in a single note, and is probably too big even for an entire thread. In fact, the list is so voluminous that it may be impractical to post on the internet. Instead of trying to cram it all into one place, and inevitably missing a few features that others consider vital to your greatness, I recommend posting a series of threads titled something like "A few of the things that demonstrate Tabs' greatness" "Top ten things that make Tabs great" and "Some more great things about Tabs". You'll never be able to cover them all, but with enough work, dedication, and help from the board, you'll be able to hit the highlights. Your taste in art and firearms is impeccable and your world view and understanding of modernity is showing great progress. Carry on with the good work and keep spreading the news of your greatness to the feeble few who have not yet made your acquaintance.

Think of all of these posts as index cards.. They need to be organized and crafted into a book. A mighty tome. But who is worthy to edit such a body of work?

What Makes TABS Great


Modesty.

[M.D. Holloway]

TABS is great - great in size, personality, appetite, cigars, attitude, intellect, brandy, insight, humor, wit, sensitivity, canned corn...he is just one great big lovable, gushy, gummibear!

Doncha just wanna squeeze the living bajeseus out of him some days!

[Dottore]

His prodigious pomposity, his firm grasp of the obvious, his elephantine appetite, his inexhaustible flatulence, his shameless charlatanism, and his occasional accidental profundity.

A few generations ago you would have found him on a mule, selling snake-oil at county fairs.

What makes TABS great is .... TABS

What makes TABS great? gotta be the spoons.

[Westy]

I dunno. Everytime Internet Explorer asks me what I want to do, I hit the button that says, 'Close all tabs'.

[BRPORSCHE]

You sure aren't conceited...

Spending the holidays alone, eh Tabby?
