Ok Knuckles, you cant use Benders name until you can ride like him

http://www.gravityfed.com/athletes/bender/

[CouchingTiger]

Agreed. I wanna see you huck off a 30' cliff if you are gonna call yourself Bender. You'll also need to wreck horrifically to fit the persona.

-Couch

[knucklebuste]

Well I've heard so many variations, I don't know what to use. I'm in no way trying to compare myself to "Bender"
Why not have a poll to decide my new username and whatever is decided is what I'll use. Knuckle

[gungywump]

I don't care so much about the name thing. Heck, we probably brought that on ourselves. I just can't get used to the constant picture changes. One hour he's Bush smoking a fatty, the next hour he's a house cat smoking a fatty, then the next hour he's back to being Bush smoking a fatty then . . .
It reminds me of the T.V. commercial where the stupid kid keeps moving something on his homepage because he thinks a team of C.S. guys have to reprogram the page every time he moves it.
Knuckles, there is no team of C.S. guys that have to reprogram the NEMBA site every time you change Avatars. I know you are anti-establishment and like to stir up trouble but noone is having to work any harder to help you execute your devious little visual joke.

[SloMoJo]

Is it almost spring, cuz I think we're starting to crack.

I voted "Who gives a ****". Plus I know he aint gonna change anyway. That's what makes him the knucklebusta.

I'm glad he's back, just to help drag us thru till spring.

Speaking of that, where is the wit of Big Game? When I first came here I would enjoy reading his posts. In fact, I had to read them 4-5 times just to figure what the hell he was saying. I miss those.

What if we suggest new names for knuckles?
How about "Full Price" ? ;)

1. Showroom Condition
2. As New
3. Never Used
4. Still In Box
5. N.O.S.
6. Mint
7. Gem Mint Quality 10
8. Dealer Miles Only
9. Never Registered
10. Low Old Lady Owned Pampered Miles

;D Oh, Knuckles how we missed you!

[knucklebuste]

I was just checking to see how many people have nothing to do all day like me and notice the small stuff that might not seem as obvious to others. Apparently there are lots of folks on here that have nothing to do all day. ;D As far as the anti-establishment thing goes, hell yeah when it comes to the U.S government, I'm all for anti-establishment, but I wouldn't do anything to try to make the running of this happy forum difficult. I've been warned a few times about different things and I've shaped up to the point of becoming a "very valuable resource" on this forum. Don't you think? As far as the avtar, whachu been puttin in dat pipe Willis? I haven't changed the avtar for about a month. And if someone would come up with the perfect name for me. I wouldn't be so confused and could live with a single one. Knuckleburner

Knuckles,

B.S.!!!
There were a few hours on Friday when you were the cat for a while and then switched back.

[AA]

I prefer plain old "Knuckles" and the Bush Avatar

[gungywump]

I prefer plain old "Knuckles" and the Bush Avatar


I like either "Knuckles" or "Knucklebuster"
As for the Bush avatar.
Knuckles,
Go to http://www.bushorchimp.com
They have Bush photos that are right up your alley.

[EVIL BOTA]

I wish I had an avatar..lol Go knuckles. I found one..lol

[knucklebuste]

Jesus look at the size of gumpys avtar. Knuckle

[SloMoJo]

Yes, Gungy has a bit of an ego issue.

Evil: Holy crap! Don't post those devilish pics man!
I'm gonna have nightmares tonight, and it's your fault.

Knuckles: While I was sleeping on my IT job, your new name came to me in a vision......
"LBS HO" .....Whatcha think? ;D

You know I just raz ya, cuz I like ya buddy.
I always says "Da knuckles is cool"

[knucklebuste]

Yeah thats alright, but I'm trying to make ammends with all the lbs people. It was just one shop in particular that I was mad at. The same one I bought my bike at. They were cool on the bike, but gave me a severe case of redeye with the forks I purchased. I couldn't walk for a week. But like I said before, I won't deal with a shop again that wont give me a price on something before I slap down the cash. Jesus at this rate I'm gonna be up to 300 posts. Hey you guys think we are post whores. Go on over to nsmb.com and check out their forum. Some dude has like 1700 posts. Now thats a post whore. Knuckle

[splat]

You want Post Whores ! Go to Ridemonkey.com ! I've got 1200 over there , and one chick there is about to hit 10000.

or Hcor.net They have some big time post whores , And I'll bet the guys at Hcor would just love Knuckles !

[johnbryanpeters]

I distinctly think I almost remember that Big Game said that here's no such thing as a post whore, or was it a free lunch, or was that gungywump?

What was the topic, anyway, something about renaming hand.joint.twister, wasn't it? I distinctly don't recall misremembering.

But yeah, a name, that's it, we must have one.

How about Isabelle Allendy?

Respectfully, the friend of your good friend,

J

[AGENTGRAPE]

how about knuckledusters old slang for a set of brass knuckles.

[Sylvan]

It's only because this forum is "new" that people don't have up to 1000 posts yet. Be patient, it will happen in time. ;)

[Big Game]

Dear Knuckles (or whatever you are calling yourself today):

I've learned many things over the years from some very wise people. One such person was an old fly-fisherman by the name of Kelly Jack. I met Kelly while fishing a part of the West Branch of the Farmington River, a part few have ever fished. As a came upon him for the first time, he didn't seemed startled or surpised; rather he acted like he was expecting me.

Wihtout saying a word, he came over to me while I was tying my tippet. He handed me the perfect fly for a perfect hatch for a perfect day. He took a puff of his pipe, and suggested I tried a hole he was working all day.

To this man, I felt ashamed. Here I was, intruding upon his solace and he gives me a hand-tied fly and relenqusihes the best pool. I didn't think I had anything to offer him in return.

So I just fished.

Sure enough, my first cast landed me a 15 inch brownie. I held it up for Kelly and he nodded with a floating bliss. I then returned the big brownie to the flow of the river.

I walked back to Kelly who was sitting on the bank now. He says to me, "I was trying to catch that feller all day, but my experience with this river got in the way."

I asked him what he meant.

He said his expectations based on what he learned made him think he was smarter than the fish, and he forgot something he knew all along: You never fish the same river twice, and wanted to learn from me, an inexperienced newby who knows he isn't smarter than any fish and how I would go about catching him.

So what I'm saying Knuckles (or whatever you're calling yourself ) is that you are like that river. You are always changing. We never hear from the same Knuckles twice. So whatever you want to call yourself, is fine with me. Because I know tomorrow, yes, you'll be different, but still the same wonderful person.

Your pal,

Big Game

[gungywump]

That was awesome. Is anyone else crying? I'm going to go put on some Cure, have a good cry, and bask in the beauty of this moment.

I don't have any Cure with me in the office....Will some Mazzy Star work equally well Gungy? :'(

McMG,
Yes, I think Mazzy Star will suffice.

Big Game, you are indeed wise and all knowing. I for one can't wait to log on and see what Knuckles is calling himself on any given day.

I've been waiting all week for that. And it's only Tuesday. Well deep in the doldrums of my deepest depression he comes to me. Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. Thus It may not be nice to be good. It may be horrible to be good. I know I shall have many sleepless nights about this. What does Big Game want? Does Big Game want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him? You are passing now to a region where you will be beyond the power of prayer. A terrible, terrible thing to consider. And yet, in a sense, in choosing to be deprived of the ability to make an ethical choice, you have in a sense really chosen the good. So I shall like to think. So, big Game help us all, I shall like to think.

Now thus must ponder but not dwell upon the reality that thus halth not perhaps even scratched the surface of what is now, and what is to be.

Big Game: Many thanks for visiting and uplifting the peasantry such as us. We all enjoy your words, and I'm gonna read it a few more times to figure what the hell you just said. ;)

Knucklebusta:....Did you think of that name before I mentioned it. If not, I'm ready for the finder's fee.

What does Big Game want?
Big Game wants a fish. He wants a big brown fish. He wants the big brown fish that Kelly Jack wanted. Once he gets the fish he doesn't want it. So what does Big Game want? He wants a big bowl of peanut butter with chopped hot dogs and a maraschino cherry on top.

I think the Big Game is saying:

NEMBA forum is the Farmington River.
We (presumably the 300+ motormouth club) are Kelly Jack.
Knuckles is Big Game (stick with me here).
The Brown trout is Knuckles name and/or avatar.

The moral is:
We can't tell Knuckles how to catch a name no matter how much time we have spent on the river. Only Knuckles can tell Knuckles how to catch his name. And in the course of Knuckles catching his name we might all learn something we had somehow forgotten or overlooked through the rote execution of our daily tasks.

You can lead Big Game to a river but you can't make him fish. You can bake him fish.

[SloMoJo]

That what he said? ???

Dam, I thought he just said he likes to go fishing and don't give a dam on knuckles name. Cuz, that would be a bloke much like meself.

I think gungywump is saying:

Big Game's essay is rational.
An essay has a single meaning.
The meaning can be established by formally deciphering the prose.
It is important to know the true meaning.

You can translate Big Game's essay. Maybe. ;)

I just want to know why did Big game let a 15 inch trout go again! that would have been mighty tasty in a frying pan !
