    Here is a bit of honesty, "I have no life"....

    How do I know this, welllllll, with all the problems in the world, and all the things that would benefit my family I could be doing, I was compelled to do this!


    This thread is just shy of 3 yrs old by 10 days....

    In the 1st 2 1/2 years of this thread there were 55 pages of posts, each page averaging 9.9 posts!

    A mere 6 months ago, 2 new posters arrived, actually they both arrived on the same page on exactly the same day!

    In that 6 months, the thread grew to 104 pages, or 49 new pages, 485.1 posts, of which almost 29%(or 137) were made by these 2 people, 76 and 61 respectively, 99.9% off topic(according to everyone but them)!

    In other words, more posts than "renni" in the entire 104 pages, 99.9% of which "were" on topic....now trying to guess who I am referring to would be virtually impossible without doing the scientifically controlled research I have done, which would not only be time consuming, it would be off topic like this post!

    edit: add 7 pages and 69 more posts(off topic), roughly 32% of which were made by the same 2 individuals, or 22 posts 12 and 10 respectively....

    What would possibly drive anyone to make such a spectacle of themselves, I would be embarrassed personally, NO, make that humiliated, I am embarrassed that I actually counted the posts...

    Back to topic:

    Took this from Andy's post next door and wanna spend a few words on it:

    Nice song, a true "panorama" song, because the ladies turn themselves around by a full turn on these bar stools, elegantly hiding it behind their robes ;)

    The Honesty part comes from the recording itself, 1974, James Last Orchestra, German TV "ZDF".

    Honestly, I'd never have watched such broadcasts then, calling it bourgeois and whatnots. I was a long-haired student in Berlin, where waves from the student protests of 1968 were still to be heared. One of the odd outcomes was a student love affair between a conservative boy and a communist girl ;-)

    I remember that Santana performed there (unfortunately, I missed it). Had a lot of fun there, Uni, sport and nightlife. For two years, I circled the area within the Berlin wall with my small bike, a Honda 125, and in a night train on transit through DDR (GDR) territory I made aquaintance of a girl who later became my first wife. It was a couchette coach but we didn't get much sleep, so I missed my lectures on the next day ;)

    Honestly? A better read than Harper Lee's finale, it's got the lot!

    Dan..some folks may not appreciate the personal time you dedicated to this endeavor but, as someone who enjoys reading (and opining on) all manner of posts, I do..:)

    It's a bit like Columbus Storm's Champions list. Not of tremendous value per se, but an interesting nugget, Certainly a better read than the current headlines in the "news".

    "They can't help themselves !"...and, can you "help yourself" Gary?

    ...After celebrating my 69th birthday on Wednesday, I have come to the realization that life is way too short for hate !

    So---I apologize to all those that I upset in the thread "Lets be Honest" last weekend !

     My actions were uncalled for !

    To the WGT community at large---I am truly sorry !

     Thanks----Gary

    ...and then,

    garylewisgr:

    1.  But Rich---These guys are all peacocks-----They can't help themselves !---They HAVE TO strut their stuff !!  Makes them feel important for a minute----but only for a minute then they have to find another thread to strut their stuff !!!

    2.  If it wasn't so important why did you have to chew on this thread for almost 12 hours after what I said ?  Hmmm----strut---strut !!!   HAHAHA

    3. I guess strutting peacocks can't tell time either----too busy strutting !

    Hmm.

    Flamebaiting?...your good friend HK pretty much has that market cornered. He doesn't do it with a broad brush slag, but with a "look at me" approach. Fitting segue, as you seem to have a thing for peacocks.  At any rate, if you want to put everyone in their place, you may want to first move from the glass house.

    Let the bells ring out and banners fly.  Feast your eyes on me.  Its too good to be true but Henry Kawa is here.

    FRIEND REQUESTS> Many people want to "friend" me on WGT.  Sorry but I am very selective when accepting friend requests.  So for the many friend requests I've rejected, all I have to say is I'm sorry.  I have to get to know you better first.  

    "The One And Only" HENRY KAWA!

    lol...dish it, but cant take it?..big mistake in here...I referred to someone as a peacock, you referred to an entire thread that way...be a man and own your words...and as far as "trolling", don't be a hypocrite.

    ps...I quote you so you can remember what you actually said...you should read your quotes before responding. I know you are getting older and I'm trying to prevent you from looking even more foolish. So, put away the broad brush, and stop flailing about..ffs

    the above sage advice is freely given...you are welcome..:)
