It's good to have The Pugilist back after his long absence.

No, wait... this one's for kingfrog! Ooooops

Anyone else feel like dancing around a bonfire??

Hey Pan153, take a look over on the thread "RWI forum - I'm banned" We're gonna have us a raffle!

Trolls on a knitting forum! I can just see it now.... "You're using worsted wool, but with aluminum knitting needles! Fake fakey faker!!!"

PhD Physics? I only made it through 6 years.

Beachcomber and Flyr, those were good posts. As hoped, he has hoist himself on his own petard. Thanks for the terminology, Miss Naughty. I wanted to leave Kermie active here for awhile so he could expose the fraud that he is, and it happened ... as expected. But enough is enough, it's one thing to insult us as a group of horrible fake fakey fakers, but when he selects members for personal attacks then he's crossed a line. He'll never take the initiative to find out why we have a Diamond Members area, he'll never look at our history and see how we rally around our members that fall on hard times, he'll never recognize that beauty is only skin deep, and he'll remain obsessed with superficial appearances, ignoring the underlying content. Oddly, he is immersed the very thing of which he accuses our good members, appearance over substance. And he will never take the time to recognize that such substance exists here. And so... it's time for a ban. For now, I've set him so he requires Moderator approval before every new post. So he can watch and fume, but he's not as yet banned. Now let's have some fun with it, eh? I PM'd the boss already, but I'm thinking a quick raffle might be fun. MOAB, are you up for it? How about a Ban-The-Kermie raffle? The winner gets Admin privilege just long enough to do the deed while we watch and hoist our glasses of good cheer. Your thoughts lads?

POTR, I had a very refreshing conversation over on WUS with some gen owners who admitted the movements in their "Swiss" watches, or their components, likely came from the same factories that supply movements for reps. To be "Swiss made" often means a few parts were added to the base ébauche in a Swiss facility. This certainly blurs the line between rep and gen, eh?

Now who has a couple hollow MBW links they want to sell me?

Magnification and eye protection in one.

I never wear them to bed, it's too much trouble getting the whipped cream out of the end links. Wait.... did I say that out loud?

Very nice, they offer a little better magnification than mine.

YESSSSS!!! That's the exact topic I was looking for. It's a great solution to the problem. Well done!

Yes! That's the one ... do you still have the link?

Auto, thanks for trying. There's a thread here where someone tackled this exact problem, creating a flat end midlink to replace the squished midlink joining the Mary's 7836 to the endlinks. But I sure can't find it!

Yeah that TRL thread was epic. Ken saved most of it but it would have been the score of the decade to get the whole thing back.

.....does anyone remember the TRL thread? http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/1339-the-trl-thread/

Auto, do you still have the link to that topic with the photos? I searched for an hour last night and couldn't find it.

Heres a thread where we were kinda all over the place, many of the old timers in here and somebody had to throw in Jetmid... http://www.rwgforum.net/index.php?/topic/106205-I%27m-Bored%21

Probably only the old timers will remember this, but it's worth the time searching out and reading the fun we had with the last guy like this. Jetmid lives!

Arghhhhhhhh!!!! Missed it by that much!

Let me know when you decide to sell those fragile old sweater snaggers!

No, sorry... Mary sells these for a song and they're fantastic bands.

True... but never on a 9315. That's the problem....
