A Fuzzy Thread

bomelia · #1 (**permalink**) 04-18-2009, 10:58 PM

Is it possible to start a thread that does not get shut down? And by that, I mean can a thread get started where people I cannot see do not say things thet get it shut down?

This is a fuzzy thread. For fuzzy thoughts and ideas. So post your fuzzy thoughts with fuzzy logic.

Yes...and my apologies for shutting down the other thread, but the subject there was about threads and....

...well, I think you understand.

Whenever possible, the offenders are suspended and their posts are deleted...but that's alot of extra work for the Mods, and sometimes things are so intertwined that it becomes damn near impossible. Obviously, we don't like spending our waking hours culling threads. We're going to be more likely to stop crap before it starts or at least much earlier in the skeem of things.

Course, the easiest route would be to simply shut down the Lounge "for remodeling."

Again, my apologies for the collateral damage.

Dat's OK, I understand.

My logic was quite fuzzy last night. My friend Mr. Morgan, who by the way is a captain, has a way of doing that to me. This morning logic is more of the non fuzzy kind.

I'm just trying to see if I can start a thread that does not get shut down.

Hey Mike,

How did you do on that mountain run that you were going to do some time back?

Maybe if some people would not make snide comments about people that they have on their ignore lists that would help.
That’s just my opinion of course.

Hmm, another poster I cannot see making a comment...

Ron, it did not go so well. To frame it. let me say that I can run 10 miles in about 1 hour, 20 minutes, road surface. Trail is always harder for me. This particular trail was a monster. If you make one loop, you gain (and lose) 11,000 feet (1/3 of Mt Everest). Not only do you have to move it along on the trail, you have to locate 11 way points where there are paperback books. You have to rip out the page corresponding to your race number (you get a new bib number on each lap). Between book one and two, I made a rookie mistake and lost my map & instructions and the page out of book one (which automatically DQd me). However, I manage to hang in there (for the experience) for another 10 miles. Then I found someone with a trail map and hiked out before dark. It took me 4.5 hours to go 10 miles. I put in about 16 miles that day.

The winner did do all 5 loops. Took him 57 hours. Three people finished the "fun run" (three loops) in about 36 hours.

I had typed up a reply, but it is not worth the hassle.

Have a nice day Mike.

Hmmmm. Something fuzzy. Avatars. T&A. Had not thought about that. I would change my avatar, and I might, still looking for The Next Big thing.

Why would ANYONE come into this thread and complain? Has anyone?

Why are there bumps on the Areola ?

Why, it is Braille for "SUCK HERE". Blind guys need to have 'access', too.

You avatar would make Barney reconsider what he might be missing...

bomelia · #17 (**permalink**) 04-19-2009, 11:02 PM

Nah, he would prefer my avatar to covered in Fuzzy hair (and call me Mike... its a long story)

Fred... you are REAL bad.

29 hours and it's still open Mike.

Congratulations.

This could be a record Mike.

I am a little fuzzy on the topic.

Are we being fuzzy or just thinking fuzzy?

Ron61 · #20 (**permalink**) 04-20-2009, 06:59 AM

Mike,

That wasn't bad at all for your first time in those conditions. We can't run up the canyon walls here, but I hike several miles back up into some of them and they are over a mile deep and trying to climb out by going up the side is a very long and tiring day. Mostly loose shale and very steep. You grab a bush or something, pull yourself a foot or so up and then slide back half that distance before you can get hold of something else to pull on. I have spent three hours hiking up one of these canyons along the river, and 5 1/2 hours climbing the side to get to an old fire road that goes along near the top of the wall.
But there is a lot of history back in those places where no one goes. That stuff had to have been hauled in by men and mules in the 1800s.

Ron
