So, I took a cruise over to another URL..... I'd probably take some heat if I referred to it as The Dark Side... (so I won't) Something struck me.... When I see a list of RULES posted at the front of an establishment I get the impression that the patrons of such a place NEED to be kept orderly, that they lack a certain decorum that the owners have found to be lacking in their clientele & expect to maintain. It speaks to the Owner/Operator's expectation of perfection... for whatever reason I don't believe "expectations" are any better for me than fantasies and I ain't perfect, I'm human... I usually take the hint and seek another establishment one with a more mature, open & relaxed atmosphere.... like this one. ...the expectation of perfection is about as smart as expectations of Politicians ...... or everything going your way....at ANY time and surely no one here has ANY of those ideas .....right? EXPECTING the world or any facet of it to conform to YOUR rules, YOUR DESIRES always seemed to me to be unreasonable... Like diggin potholes in the road in front of you you make life less smooth. There is a vast difference between making a comment or joke and "hijacking" a thread into a different topic... something seldom seen here. Silliness is met with silliness however! (and likewise the reflection of tolerance) The Latitude Ian allows us here is rather refreshing don't you think? . . or don't you? There is a time & a place for rigidity........ for me it arrives after I suck my last breath... You can go Rig a race a Boat and a Tortoise but you only get one chance to go Rigor Mortise . . .   don't tempt me to Rhyme Orange & Purple ...... or I might try to arrange your maple syrupull... HEY BW, WILKE & RJ...are you still lookin for this tripe?   | ||

All right now! both of you guys can just shut the heck up about the weather. It hurts my feelings when you talk about it. I think we should have a government inquiry into why the weather is warmer in the south and so much colder up here, after all THATS NOT FAIR! If I had a congress man I would write him and complain about... well something that is bothering me right this minute and that I spent absolutely no time thinking about and made no attempt to understand or deal with my self because after all IT ISN"T MY FAULT. Sorry I just had a small out of character experience. I am back now | ||

Believe it or not.... when I went looking for a .gif file on the web that opener was posted near a file that I "liberated" for my own selfish & despicable use.... I should be & am ashamed of C&P'ing without looking or proof-reading See the wages of cyber sin...?  Public humiliation at the hands of MooseMeat Lady & Gentlemen... I can only do the honorable thing to do throw my self on the mercy of the court... (and hope that the wisdom I have seen demonstrated on these very pages by these wonderful hard working kind folk with deep values, these members will surely exhibit an equal amount of wisdom when it comes to the application of justice the way our great & wise forefathers meant for us in the free land they bequeathed to us when shed their blood on this hallowed ground oh! so long ago...) (whew) I'll be HOPING for that for a millisecond and then... I'll just ask for a do-over..... or go hiking The Appellation Trail... Does anyone think Les will catch THAT entendre' or just the misspelling....2-1 he does! (Message edited by Jack_fids on February 17, 2011) | ||

Did you know that the price of tea in China has absolutely nothing to do with what has been discussed here in this thread???? And did you hear about the traveling salesman with a small mean looking guy sitting on his shoulder that walked into a bar and started to order a drink when all of a sudden Jesus, Buddha, and Alla walked in carrying golf clubs talking about a Priest, Rabi, Pastor and a Boy Scout in an airplane that was about to crash only to find out there was only 1 parachute........ . | ||

Latvia; Everything that is said,done,solved,questioned about, whether it is checking out others problems,helping solve them or just jabbing on Penquins,horses,or whatever is all related to valuable info of how to be a SANE BUS NUT.

So, Well then Lativa, Tell us about your coach and your needs as to information for the area and feeding of it. Maybe you had a bad day? Maybe you are afraid to ask any questions? Maybe you just don't have any way of expressing your problems? We are here for you and we will support you in anyway we can. Just start a new thread with what you want to know... we'll do our best to try and help you with your problems. Good luck, and I'm glad I didn't post what I was originally going to..... I didn't want to seem like an internet bully. | ||

I'm glad for the silliness. If it weren't for the Busnuts, and a few of these guys in particular, I wouldn't have been inspired enough to follow through and get my bus license. And instead turned into a bus NERD. (You know, the little guy who sits in the front seat licking the window!) -Wait..I WAS that kid....Did I grow up or something? Thanks guys. | ||

>>Doug... ME TOO! '51 Stude- 48 Pass. Schoolie Robins egg Blue w/ White Stripes<< Okay Jack, I've been weighing in on this one a bit more.. I love your "sports" bus. Sounds classic. Except you described it is blue, not skoolie yellow. And we know who the little blue buses are for... Now I have to fess up: I enjoy watching Hockey when I get the time, Penguins specifically. But alas, though I am getting married, wife-to-be accepts the family dachshund as a mistress of whatever lair and living being her little eyes happen to behold. (Almost like a cat!) We need a hockey team matchup. Something like the "Dayton Dachshunds vs. The Pittsburgh Penguins". I almost called it "Dallas Dachshunds", but then I'd be offending my cousins in Texas. As far as offending OUR Dallas here on BNO: Well, just look at his hair. He needs to get rid of those cats... A dog would do him good. | ||

Doug... that Studie was the Bus my Dad screwed together & I grew up in. "Sportscar of Coaches" is a term of someone else's origin .. I co-opt'ed it as a device to maintain a false sense of superiority over those poor Souls who'll never know the thrill of owning a GM Coach from the magic years of Dee-troit. fwiw | ||
