Yes, thank goodness for that!
Who is this Jim Thompson you speak of?
Short time noob would like to know.
Congrats! Your posts are like fresh limes in a G & T......refreshing.
Now please lure Hgunner out.
“Where is our resident, lovable, curmudgeon, Humblegunner, when he is so desperately needed?”
The last time I assumed something like that it turned out to be a little old lady 96 years old just trying to hang and be part of the crew and be with like minded friends. It was all she had in life to keep her going.
You never know who is on the keyboard on the other end. I have learned to not assume and always give the benefit of the doubt. Just a thought to share... :)
I can’t find a working link to the true Jim Thompson graphic, but this thread by Vendome may be helpful.

It started with someone misidentifying our fearless leader in an outside article about FR.
One more year and we can hold a big party for you.
A score of 20 runs in baseball would surely win most games.
Football, some.
Hockey, an impossible number for one pro team to achieve in a single game, but a good player might have that many goals in a season, and play 20 years. Gordie Howe did that and more, making over four score goals in several seasons. What a player!
In golf, where high is bad and low is good, scoring 20 could only be accomplished in nine holes, and a short course at that. Miniature golf maybe?
Congratulations on a major anniversary, regardless of your past identity, Larry.
I'm glad you're here. FTM, I'm glad FR is here, because otherwise there would be no "here" to be in. Nuts, I ended that sentence with a preposition, and JR always cuts my bonus when I do that...
The Arrogant Peashooter will bring your playful game to an end.
Thanks!
Norm MacDonald on “score.”
First of all, Im an old man, you know? I Im like uh threescore and twelve, or something like that. Im trying to get score going again. I feel that Lincoln, when he thought that up, he thought that was going to go. You know what I mean? Like, his wife was like, Why dont you just say 87? Hes like, Why dont you shut the * up? Last I checked, I was the orator in the family and you were the insane lady. When I say fourscore and seven, believe me score is going to catch on big time. But it never did.
Congrats from another old timer. Enjoy your thread.
(Seriously L.L., Happy FR anniversry!)
LOL!
That’s a great one!
Greetings from a 98’r
