well, no to the first part.....and maybe to the second.

LOL. I think you just like to yank somebody's chain every now and then.

Me too, sometimes.

Unfortunately, there ARE people out there with that exact mindset. I didn't know you were being sarcastic at first, and my initial response was that "He hasn't pulled that trick on the right guy... yet." I try to use a variation of something my Dad (lost him on the 9th of this month. RIP. Love You, Dad!) used to say- "think twice, post once". (Remember being told "measure twice, cut once"?) Anyway, I'm glad I waited until you clarified your statement. I'm not sure that I necessarily agree with where you are coming from, but I understand it. That's why they make chocolate AND vanilla.

You're also an arrogant SOB... the kinda guy I like to hang out with.

Here's to ya. Cheers!

My sympathies on your Dad. It’s been 7 years for mine but seems like yesterday. I see from your name you’re probably in SC - my dad was a Citadel grad.

“You’re also an arrogant SOB... the kinda guy I like to hang out with.”

Yeah, but what gets me is that the arrogant SOB’s that are trying to defend loud pipes won’t admit that they just want the attention. I’m not for legislating it away, mind you, but they won’t admit the obvious. So I tweak ‘em here and there just because that’s how I get attention!

These guys should just admit they like to get attention with the loud pipes like spoiled children, and that there is no other practical reason, and then, God bless ‘em, I’d be on their side, as long as they don’t move into my neighborhood!

My little secret is that I’m more annoyed by bright high beams on a motorcycle than I am by the noise, but I don’t want to give them any inkling that they annoy me in any way, they might want to rub it in after the fun I’ve had at their expense today.

Here’s to your Dad - he did OK with at least one of his sons.
