I've been underground for a few weeks and it looks like I've missed a couple of doozies. So as a public service, I thought I'd offer myself up as a sacrifice to let everyone get their pent-up spew out of their systems. It's also a chance for me to enjoy all the protests that I'll read, like: "Flame you Mambo? It can't be done! You're just too pure, good and kind!!"

So have at it. For ammunition, here's my bio:
- fairly liberal democrat
- male
- white
- American (the real kind, not just "North American" like those poser Canadians)
- Catholic (oooh!)
- Confine myself almost entirely to misc discussions. Very few Tech Q&A posts
- Once left a Tech Q&A open for months
- balding
- bad punctuator
- was against Iraq war from the start
- Italian heritage
- favor Dr.- assisted suicide
- Red Sox fan
- (insert your invective here. If you need more, just ask!!)

In my favor, I will state that I'm not an over-user of emoticons.

Once everyone has disgorged themselves of thier hate, we can get on with the old, civil TR that I grew up with. (Well, I don't think it was ever really like that, but I have a rose-colored memory.)

and will do anything to get warm. Oh well don't worry, if you are as bad as you say you are Satan will give you a good flaming when you give him a visit.

OH someone posted something about anagrams of names in another thread and I have just noticed that and anagram of Satan is Santa - ooh ain't that gonna upset a few peoples.

by dmambo

Santa was my mother's first name. It really was. It means "Saint", so it WAS appropriate.

the car Astan Martin (I'm sure that's how its spelt) :p or you could have Tan as or At San. I think I best quit while ahead - is still on my sholders.

by jamesrl

It is so sad to see your pathetic attempt at getting attention.

Can't you see all the great examples all around you? Why not adopt someone else's ID instead, or post to a long dead flamefest in hopes of reviving it?

Hows that for a starter?

I do recall some other flamefests that were worse than what we have today - the threats of physical violence at one point. But I do sense that where those were somewhat limited in the number of participants, we may have a more generally angry mood these days.

Me, I am trying, not always successfully, to avoid the debates where I know there is no hope of changing anyone's mind - like Global Warming. At some points I barge into some of the sub conversations, but I know I am not going to change Max's mind or Oz's mind or Absolutely's mind, so why just stir it up. And you can't teach a Sleeping dawg.....much.

I've tried. It was horrible.

You're condemmed to being just too nice.

But we're glad your're back!

you finally did it

you admitted that you are a wasc.

this condems you to the 6th circle of hell, where Mae and I will get to brand you with anti popal commentary for all eternity.

And I'm pretty sure that there are no visitor passes. It's eternity or nuthin'

You left a Tech Q&A open? So YOU'RE the one! Why you... YOU know what you are!! You're a poorpunctuatingQ&Aleftopener is what YOU are! And here fer a minnit I thought it was good to see you back you PPQ&ALO you.

Stop your whining, you right-wing* yankee slaphead. Your apostrophe-misusing, sanctimonious, anaemic wop twaddle is getting on my pecs! Get yourself some doctor's assistance and save us any more of this pacifist low-tech garbage!

There - have that one on me.

*right-wing from where I'm looking!

Red Sox? Find yourself a [b]real[/b] sport!

by tig2

Shouldn't you have you been in bed and not up reading TR???

Don't you need your sleep??? Especially in light of all the a$$holery going on with work???

Just concerned... :)

by maxwell edison

....you liberal, commie @#$%^&. And learn to spell while you're at it!

You're too dang close to Canada, if you ask me, so you're a @#$%^&* traitor as well. We all know that the People's Republic of Vermont is the ONLY state to send a bona fide SOCIALIST to Congress, and you're probably in his @#$%^&* district! And you probably even voted for him! The Green Mountain state my butt. More like the green wienie state, you commie tree hugger.

And you probably make contributions to the pedophile club of America as well. We know how "you people" are, brushing all the scandals under the rug, thinking you're all gonna' be saved just by saying "I'm sorry" behind a closed curtain. BOO HOO! Get real, loser. And wear an asbestos suit into your stupid coffin. You're gonna' need it when you burn in hell for helping all those pedophiles. You probably even listen to Michael Jackson music!

You're just like the Red Sox, a bunch of perennial losers who just happened to get lucky once every hundred years. Have you gotten "lucky" lately? Probably not; losers seldom do. Hell, even the lowly Kansas City Royals have a better track record than your pitiful excuse for a team. The Royals have only gone 20 years without a World Series win, not that embarrassing 100 years -- that's a WHOLE CENTURY, you loser! It's an appropriate team for you to root for, however, you @#$%^&* green mountain, green wienie, green monster of a tree hugger!

You probably feel GUILTY for being a white male or else you wouldn't have mentioned it. What a LOSER! Get a life and get over your @#$%^&*& self-inflicted guilt-trip. And start paying your way around here you free-loading commie. Answer some @#$%^&* questions for once.

And one last thing, make that next doctor (assisted suicide) appointment for yourself!

Oh, and by the way:

We have only one congressional district in VT, so we're ALL in his district. Soon he'll be in the Senate, so it's kind of a moot point.

Edit: BTW, glad that you got all that off your chest. Now that you've purged, you can take it easy on everyone else from here on out.

by maxwell edison

...that there was only one Congressional District in Vermont.

In 1989, I lived in Shelburne (for one year exactly) and worked in Burlington. My office was on the Church Street Mall, and I remember seeing the city's socialist mayor (Bernie Sanders) walking around, up and down the pedestrian mall, almost every day. I said "hello" to him quite a bit. I also remember that the "homeless" flocked to Burlington.

I remember going to Battery Park, on the shores of Lake Champlain, on many occasions. There was always that concern about "extreme" pollution because the city actually dumped their sewage into the lake, very close to the park.

One of my favorite restaurants was [i]Here's The Beef[/i], on Shelburn Road just south of Burlington. (An obvious take-off on that old Wendy's [i]Where's the Beef[/i] commercial. Remember that?) Along with a couple of places on Church Street, of course ... the names escape my memory right now.

I loved Burlington, Vermont. In a lot of ways, it's like Boulder, Colorado; but Boulder has the bigger population and the mountains. Why are places like Burlington and Boulder Soooooooo friggin' liberal?

As far as "the flame", nothing really off my chest, since it was all in jest. Except I did get a good laugh writing it!

(I think I might have to visit Vermont again in the next year or two or three. My favorite town, hands down -- Woodstock.)

by hal 9000

Is he anything like the Charter in [b]Weekend at Bernie's?[/b] B-)

If so he'll make an excellent Politician as he like any good Polly doesn't do anything at all and has the ultimate job where he doesn't actually have to go to work and still picks up his pay. We had one here who spent 9 months in Thailand and no one missed him. :)

Your mother wears combat boots to bed! :p

oh the joy, oh the rapture....

by jdtoo

And for eternity.....

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

(Copa. . Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana

but you are NOT funny!

Why do you insist on playing sophmoric little games in an effort to harm others? What precisely is your damage???

Go away. Do it now. You are a troll and not welcome here.

Just because many of us do not have degrees does not mean that we are idiots. You are. See here: www.tinyurl.com/6wbv

You are tiresome and a troll. Get a life... please!

I'm not sure what the intent of your message was, but if it was to take a poke at Manalow, I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank.

you know you want it, you want it BAD!

fairy liberal? THAT is funny! :D

by hal 9000

I'm going to live forever as Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is way to scared that I'll take the place over and run it to suit myself. ;)

So at least I'll be the one having fun and telling others what to do. :p

Like locking Billy Boy in a room with his newest OS and telling if he can get it to work properly he got a free pass out of the place of course being an AMD without a Heat Sink it will not last long enough to actually do anything and I'll remove the [b]CTRL, ALT and DEL Keys.[/b] :^0

[b]Now as they say Jaqui and Mae get on with your work!!!!!!!!!![/b] There is still some unattended to bare skin exposed on DM and much more importantly you don't have to wait till you reach my Domain you are free to do as you please [b]NOW.[/b] ;)

by maecuff

skin artist. I DO have a couple tattoos, but I didn't do them myself. I guess it doesn't matter too much as far as branding goes. So..I'll stoke up the fire and get the furniture out. Jaqui can rope him down.

by tig2

See my response to the current jacka$$ calling himself "faketiggerthree".

I could get more ugly, but why?

NOTE: Some days I just love you!

by jdtoo

she would have seen what you guys haven't..... :D

I just KNOW it! B-)

Amature night on TR?

Although I must admit "current jacka$$ calling himself "faketiggerthree"." sure hurts. I am ALWAYS "playing sophmoric little games". You used to think it was cute Tig.... :(

Way too many clues....... ;\

by hal 9000

Create another TR account and call myself something like [b]FakeSpuddy_M[/b] although this [b]Fake Tigger 3[/b] seems to have some intelligence after all it managed a Goggle Search where it came up with the words to [b]Lola.[/b] :^0

That is something that Spuddy couldn't manage all by itself without help of some kind. ;)

I did see you response it [b]Was Way To POLITE[/b] there as well. :p

As for loving me I must be loosing my edge I'll work on that. :D

But I think that you have upset this one by pointing out that all its [b]Treasured Paper[/b] is only good for training a puppy maybe that's why it's targeting you. I think that you touched a [b]Raw Nerve[/b] there BWTH lets get on with it and [b]Turn this Troll to Toast.[/b] :x

I hear that [b]Grilled Troll is DELICIOUS[/b] ;)

by ontheropes

I remember the road from the South into town. Were you the dood on the East side in the old beater pickemup truck that was laughing maniacally in the parking lot while spinning your rear wheels while doing doughnuts and throwing up stones at the restaurants patrons?

Killer haircut and shades dood. Congrats to you that my little wifey was unable to grab your butt out of the side winder', if that WAS you. The statute of limitations has expired ya' know. Feel free to 'fess up. No grudges here with me. Not too sure about the lttle lady but I'll handle her... maybe... okay... I doubt it but just smile and you'll be okay. Maybe. Remove all sharp metal objects.

On the same off-chance, as posted in another discussion, please let US know when you're going to the great state of Vermont the next time. I'll take the trip and buy you a couple rounds downtown on neutral grounds.

Woodstock? Were you there? Gooselake for me. Not enough beanz for gazzoline for a longer trip wayback when.

by rob mekel

So please give us ammo to flame you and not that totally sane list you provided. :)

BTW welcome back from your absence. Hope you had a good time well spend. :)

Now back to your list. Be aware of the ones that twist ("fairy liberal" as some do) the list to make you look bad, you can manage that all by yourself, can't you! ;)

It is good to see you back DMambo :)

Rob

[i]edited cause of emoticon typo[/i]

by gadgetgirl

You're back! :x

Where you been hiding, babz? Awwwwwww, I really missed you. There was no red glow in the sky for weeeeeeeks without you!

Flame you? Nah. Can't do that. Not to my DangerMouse. You're too pure to take a flaming. You'd probably just look at the flames, and they would shrink and die in the light of your purity.

(Just to keep the glow in warm up mode: Balding? ;) Oooooooooooh! They say balding men are FAR more virile and sexually active than those with a full head of hair...... ]:) )

I've been getting away with ALLSORTS :8} while you've been missing! No-one has even thought to re-assert my purity...... :( ....... no-one has even asked after the Pure Brigade..... :( oh, I've been so frustrated..... :_|

But now you're back "from Outer Space", so does this mean I can resurrect The Impure Brigade, and we can [b]start having some fun around here again??? [/b]

Glad you're back, DM

...you're giving me a greeting in some strange dialect of Swillhili, because if it's a smooch, then my ears will actually burst into flames and drop off.

Now clean up your act before you do something that deserves a spanking. And tell that damn JD to clean up, too.

by nz_justice

a better half, a woman in your life? some one who shares your intresets and hobbies and loves you for who you are and gives you *loving*, the "strait meat and potatoes" kind. ? Do you have a xbox 360? Or did you go japanies and betray your country and buy one of the other two consoles? Arnet you sdcared of getting burned by the flames? didn't your mother or father or other mother or other father (not sure on your parenting arangment) tell you it was dangours to playt with fire? Whats falming? :p

After the last question I typed the random B$ that follows.

I'm pretty sure if i start any fires, that would be a bad thing, unless of course they are controled fires that don't kill poeple or just hurt them. flames that make you warm and don't burn others are good flames. who the hell named them flames damit is every thing in reality gonna be virtualised. soon there will be virtual hurricanes and the comp def will be something lame like; downpoors of sympothy and sorrow flooding fourms for whoever, and servers crash because of overload of e-sympathy cards. Then the head line in TR would be "jdclyde passes on, many TR people loved him and it created a hurricane and destrotyed our server".

Maybe I should of just blogged this shit in my workspace.

I am sorry (partly sencierly) for wasting your life by reading up to this point and having you read through poor grammar and spelling.

Read the last part of few times till it makes sense.

have a nice day ;)

Flamer..nothing but a flamer.

Church Street Village is the gay community.. in Toronto.

~lol~

by dmambo

That makes you just another Hummer-driving, New Jersey (or CT) tourist scum. Woodstock is certainly a nice little town with a beautiful green, but I take pains to avoid it all summer and in October. Takes 15 minutes to drive the 1/2 mile through downtown thanks to all the idiots standing in the middle of the road to get pictures.

by dmambo

Now that in place of ears I have little carbonized ear stumps, I'll never have to listen to my wife again.

And to think that they said immoral sex (in this case, a smooch) would make something else fall off...

it isn't "whipped cream" on that side of the pond, it is "squirty cream"!

[i]always good to have you back DM!

does this mean I'm going to get spanked with squirty cream?

(there's a moron in that sentence somewhere, oxy or not!)

Yes, it was a pre-marital smooch - WITH TONGUES!!!

by unclerob

What the heck does that mean?
You would be lucky to call yourself Canadian!
That "american" title you're holding on to isn't the most popular these days and probably because of dumba$$ statements similar to that one.

"Pure, good & kind", not with statements like that.

Male, white & balding.... sound like a real ladies man too! And a red sox fan too, how dare you!?

The only thing you got going for you is that you're italian (are you at least following the worldcup?), that raises you up a notch from where you previously were.... now you're at notch 1.

How's that for a flame?

Let me know how I did!

yours truly,

Rob, Canada eh!

by dmambo

Never!! I already have to call my wife Canadian and my kids got their Cdn citizenship cards a few months ago. I will remain the last in my family to hold the title of "real American".

But if you'd like to add to your flame, I'm a Canadiens fan. In Winnepeg, I'd guess that you're pulling for the Oilers, but even after last night, they still have an uphill battle.

by unclerob

Watching that game last night, when they finally scored I think I jumped so high off my chair I hit the ceiling. Wow that was exciting hockey, I think they said it was a record or something: only short-handed goal ever scored in overtime in a stanley cup playoff game.

I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor about the canadian thing.

Hold on to your american title if you want.
When team Italy plays USA on June 17 (world cup), I'm sure you'll be trading in your american hat for an italian cap!

I know I'll be wearing azzurri blue that day!

FORZA ITALIA!!!

by dmambo

Now that everyone has vented as needed, we can all go back to playing nice.

A little civility on the site will do wonders. Even the EL thread had some huge disagreements, but for the most part, the language was measured and not fraught with curses or threats.

It's not the actual language that causes the problems, it's the delivery and context. I don't mind reading about someone being called a fuchwad, when it's said in the right spirit. When it's aimed to kill or maim, that's when it needs to be stopped.

In the famous words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other"

by maecuff

you're such a f*ckwad. How could anyone be maimed or killed here? Sheesh, quit being such a p*ssy and take it like a man..

(We are supposed to be in flame mode, right?)

by maecuff

if you're p*ssy enough to let someone here kill or maim your spirit, it didn't mean enough to you in the first place. Shmuck.

This is fun. :)

spell checker, my last one vanished with the book half done. :-) It's not my fault, really I did tell her not to speak aloud while reading AND to skip the apporational spell as it was known to be fault and caused people to vanish forever. :p

by deadly ernest

you properly so please be a good snake and pour petrol over yourself, on my behalf, and then light a cigarette while still doused. That should result in a decent flame. ;)

From the above you can tell I have Irish bloody and had some training in social engineering :p - so please do the right hing and make this work properly. ]:)

by james speed

Even though I have a 180 degree difference of opinion on every point you listed...why should I bother?

So what?

by jdclyde

If you don't understand the topic, don't open your mouth.

This was a very tongue in cheek post, mostly making fun of all the flame-fests that have been going on lately.

[b]MR. Mambo[/b] is one of the farthest member from being worthy of a flame on this board, that it emphasises that point.

Now don't be such an a$$clown and chill out. Either get in the spirit intended (very light) or go to a discussion that you can handle.

by dmambo

Jd, I figured that jspeed just didn't get my joke, so I left it alone. But you!, you kind of let him have it. You flamed him in an anti-flame thread. You one BAD mofo.

Anyway, I've rethought my position on the flame-fests. I've decided that I'm now totally in favor of them because they're so damn entertaining. And some are quite artful and well-crafted. Between Dawg, Max, Absolutely, and even you, I've been laughed my butt off reading them. So, if anyone really wants to flame me, I say go ahead. I can always use a good laugh.

by jdclyde

but only when the flamer has half a clue as to what is going on, and then can tear someone apart based on the situation.

when it is a clueless noobite sniviling in the myst, they are not even amusing and worthy of only contempt.

First rule, know what your talking about or stfu!

He needs to learn that rule and ethier find out what was going on or taking it to the second step.

I think Dawg has been too good of an influince lately, and my tolerance of stupid is getting less and less all the time. And yes, I do find myself waiting for the next id10t to step on Dawgs tail..... :D

Edited to add, my favorite HAS to be when he methodically tore Lobo apart from one end of TR to the other. It really was a work of art!
