Yeah, yeah, yeah… That’s all been discussed.

I thought it was a cool visual, so sue me. Wouldn’t life be more fun if we actually had that to look in our skies? What if we had multiple moons, like some of the other planets? Wouldn’t that be cool? I guess some of you guys never read science fiction books when you were kids.

I posted a funny video of a dog yesterday, maybe you should go find that one and ***** about it, too.

I'm just glad that I wasn't on that hill when the moon broke over...I'd be a goner.

People who write like this across the internet - I always wonder how they treat the people they actually know...

You haven't read a certain person's posts in PARF, have you? Nothing but constant belittlement and insults. One reaps what one sows.

David, now you don't have to wonder anymore. But it's not how you treat people you know, it's how you treat people you don't know. That's a better test I think. So...

When I had my children's clothing line, every season I would send sometimes a full wardrobe of clothing to folks like Wayne, Tobra, Tim Hancock, Hugh, etc. (many others actually) for their kids, grandkids, nephews, etc. This was high end stuff where a pair of pants would cost $45 , t-shirt $30, sweaters $100, leather jacket $250 in the store. Ages infant through size 12. Always enjoyed doing this.

And when there were such things as parts cars, I've sent well over $1K worth of parts to fellow OT Pelicans for free just to help them out.

For people you know angle, when one of my best friends crashed his 911 and then lost his job, and stayed lost, I organized a group of friends that bought a body shell, stole his crashed car and then painted the shell his favorite color and put it all back together so he had a car again, all in secret.

That's just off the top of my head. I get a real kick out of helping people.

And then there's http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1117730-should-there-driving-age-limit.html

No great feat helping this old couple but they were roaming around for well over 10 minutes without anyone else helping them.

I know my statement was a little harsh. I'm just tired of twitter and all the conspiracy theorists it engenders, namely the OP, who as hbueno confirms, is a pretty rough character in PARF.

So now you know.

I think a lot of that was directed at me.

That’s OK, you have to consider the sources.

I do see eye to eye with Shaun on a lot of subjects, just not politics. As for the rest of them, they can kiss my you know what.

All of this crap over a video I thought was cool to watch. It reminds me of some things I hear about art, people sure do love to criticize that. “That’s not realistic, my kids can paint better than that…”

So there…

I wasn’t worried about you, at all…. My comments were directed at others and to reassure Bob that all was well with his fine name. ‘‘Twas me they were after…

You should check out some of the other videos the guy did, a couple of them are worth a quick watch. Not realistic, but pretty cool visuals.
