gran Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'm sorry RWG 1 is shutting down.......it means we're going to be inundated with a multitude of monkey spanking retarded.....dry come...shower sharing soaped up fumblers and pederasts....spreading their inane ramblings and Athena art posters all over the house... Agreed and I hope that (at least that) no good backstabbing swinging JF will stay where he is even if I think calling him "monkey spanking retarded" is a little on the soft side all the best to you and your families in the new year to come As kindly as is possible from your humble and satisfied customer Gunnar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks for the kind replies guys. I was browsing this forum, and it seems as though the population here is much more professional than RWG1. Over there, we had a 350-something page thread where members posted ONLY images of "pretty ladies". But I guess sometime a light atmosphere is important in its own right. Perhaps we do need a bin? Anyway, are there any Texans here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cucumber_Jones Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 The bin was removed and I think it was a good idea to get rid of it. Last time I looked this was a watch forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsterRider Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I for one have no feelings either way about the US or N Korea, just keeping the balance. As for Corgi, the more contributors the better, just in case anyone thought I was threadcrapping him. Well, Corgi has an American flag at the bottom of his posts. You have a giant Korean soldier destroying the White House. Yaaa... Not quite the same thing. But it is a humorous fantasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 You have a giant Korean soldier destroying the White House. I think its the Congress building and not the white house but I guess its the same general idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Welcome Corgi, I hope you'll enjoy your stay. This is a great place. To give a direct comment to the previous poster, I can understand your fascination of birds and the stars and stripes flag. But I find the HUGE US-signature rather offensive. Don't get me wrong now, I don't dislike you or your nation's flag. I don't think this is the forum for flag waving and/or nationalism. This is not a competion where the biggest flag-signature wins. GOD BLESS THE WORLD! To reply to Fitmic here, hey I live in the US and my Dad is a citizen of Finland, I happen to be proud of the USA and if so is Corgi, obviously. Nationalism has nothing to do with his avatar or signature, they are good looking images that happen to be his choice and if you are offended, then just look the other way pal. Maybe you can post the flag of Sweden so you have equal time. Here, is the flag of your neighbor, Ok now, do you feel better? Have a big bowl of meatballs and lighten up.

fotoman Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I thought the only people who were that excited about living in Texas and weren't alreayd americans were called Mexicans. ? seriously - where are you from that you aspire to the likes of Texas Some Texas Gems - FYI these are all out of 50 # Texas is #49 in verbal SAT scores in the nation (493) and #46 in average math SAT scores (502). # Texas is #36 in the nation in high school graduation rates (68%). # Texas is #33 in the nation in teacher salaries. Teacher salaries in Texas are not keeping pace with the national average. The gains realized from the last state-funded across-the-board pay raise authorized in 1999, which moved the ranking from 33 to as high as 26th in the nation, have disappeared over the last five years. # Texas was the only state in the nation to cut average per pupil expenditures in fiscal year 2005, resulting in a ranking of #40 nationally; down from #25 in fiscal year 1999. They do pretty good in football though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aclaimsman Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Here are a few more interesting facts. Texas is popularly known as The Lone Star State. The Alamo is located in San Antonio. It is where Texas defenders fell to Mexican General Santa Anna and the phrase Remember the Alamo originated. The Alamo is considered the cradle of Texas liberty and the state's most popular historic site. Texas is the only state to have the flags of 6 different nations fly over it. They are: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States, and the United States. Although six flags have flown over Texas, there have been eight changes of government: Spanish 1519-1685, French 1685-1690, Spanish 1690-1821, Mexican 1821-1836, Republic of Texas 1836-1845, United States 1845-1861, Confederate States 1861-1865, United States 1865-present The King Ranch in Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island.

The first suspension bridge in the United States was the Waco Bridge. Built in 1870 and still in use today as a pedestrian crossing of the Brazos River. In 1836 five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas: Washington-on-the-Brazos: Harrisburg: Galveston: Velasco: and Columbia. Sam Houston moved the capital to Houston in 1837. In 1839 the capital was moved to the new town of Austin. The capitol in Austin opened May 16, 1888. The dome of the building stands seven feet higher than that of the nation's Capitol in Washington, D.C. Texas comes from the Hasinai Indian word tejas meaning friends or allies. The armadillo is the official state mammal. Texas has the first domed stadium in the country. The structure was built in Houston and opened in April 1965. The Houston Comets are the only team in the country to win four back-to-back WNBA championships. 1997-2000 Cynthia Cooper remains the only player to win the WNBA Championship MVP.

gran Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Despite that fact that I am proud of my own country I do like Texas a lot they have culture and traditions there even if they are quite diffrent from what we have here in Europe (some around here might not even consider what Texans have as culture ) I have lived in Pearland Texas, have a high school diploma from a HS not far from the LB johnsen Space Centre and I have also studied at a University there. Texas has been good to me. Besides honorable Dave gates lives in Texas Dont mess with Texas g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Nationalism has nothing to do with his avatar or signature, they are good looking images that happen to be his choice and if you are offended, then just look the other way pal. If it doesn't have anything with nationalism, it might be patriotism, right. Nevertheless, none of them has done any good since the middle ages. An old narrowminded way of looking the world. We're living in the 21st century, and watching our borders with fear is way gone. To qoute the brilliant band Propaghandi: F*ck ISM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
