I just realized something. If I'm correct in my calclations, I believe 'da Farm has been moved to August 2nd? Two weeks prior to August 23rd?

August 23rd, as we all know, is the weekend young Jar Jar is making his big move to college life. Now, it would appear that his attendance at 'da Farm is all but assured.

What do y'all think: should he wear something Euro chic in a dress, or should we all insist he don a classic 1950's poodle skirt?

Me, I vote for the poodles.

What say everyone else?

P.S. Y'all watch. "Two weeks before I go to College? Oh, that's the weekend I'm supposed to go with my mom and buy socks. I still can't make it." I can hear it comin' as we type!

I am a nebie! Plain and simple. I had a great time on the friday night course. It was my first time trough real comes this year and after a couple runs I was making almost clean and with decent speed. If i could make the course it was catered to newbies. But then again I was there so I guess that means nothing.

Henry Julier · Post by **Henry Julier** » Thu May 08, 2003 2:24 am

If I can't make it to Da Farm, I will put on a dress, skate around, and have my pic taken. If the Farm date is moved, I will wear a dress there.

A deal is a deal. I lost, I wear the dress.

God, even some faculty members here at school know about the dress thing!

Well, this is the "dark side of the cone" and let me say something right now: I resent and take personally being lumped in with Brady under any circumstances. And even though I find myself in disagreement on a lot of levels with Eric Groff, I also have to say he too does not deserve such disrespect.

As I have told many of my skate associates, there is a huge difference between Eric Groff, myself and anything related to The South Florida God Of All Slalom In His Easy Chair On High: WE SLALOM SKATE, HE DOESN'T. That makes a difference that is beyond measure or argument.

Putting me in the same group with a filthy lying poser is really uncalled for.

If you, Brady and Eric Groff all show up, I'll wave entry fees for the three of you.

Well then, Rick, you're gonna be pissed because Brady doesn't go anywhere that involves him having to skate through cones and competing against other slalom racers. Sure, I've missed a couple of early East Coast events, but big deal? There's a whole summer and fall of racing ahead and I'll get in my licks before the year's over. And just be sure to note that I haven't signed up for any contests, either, and then offered up excuses later for not showing up. I know what I can do and hope to have some idea in the next week or so of when I can do it. That's my race schedule for right now. No, I won't be in St. Louis, unless about $600 falls in my lap in the next month and I have six free days available for the ride out and back. (My brother used to work in Granite City. I've made that trip twice and know what it takes.)

As far as your race is concerned, the 'Cocks kick off at 7:00 in Columbia against Lousianna-Lafayette. That means I can race in Athens until about 3:00. Then I have to hit the road. Just like last year if it hadn't rained.

"Now the Motel 6 Classic is being criticized by the South Florida God Of All Slalom from his Easy Chair on High because it didn't cater enough to newbies. After all, Andy Bittner said the courses at the Gathering would be for racers of all levels. And since the Motel 6 Classic was Friday BEFORE the Gathering, the course should have also been set to cater to newbies." Wesley T

**Obviously the above post was intended at me. It was I, who posted earlier on how I thought the courses or a course should take into consideration of newbies. Never did I criticize any particular course**

"I wasn't there. I know what went down." Wesley T

** How the hell would you know that if you weren`t there?**

"Everyone on the East Coast and most everyone in the Western Hemisphere knows what went down Friday night at the Motel 6 Classic.

Why can't the South Florida Slalom God from his Easy Chair on high get it right before offering learned commentaries and what is believed to be brilliant insights?" Wesley T

**I did not criticize any course, I couldn`t, I wasn`t there. I only made comment that was constructive criticizm from input from Alan. And I don`t think Andy or anybody else for that matter, is above constructive crticizm.**

No Rick, we aren`t arguing about a course we didn`t attend, At least I`m not, but maybe wesley is since he is the know it all. He even said so.

Rick Stanziale · Post by **Rick Stanziale** » Wed May 07, 2003 12:22 am

I couldn't give a rat's ass about the Dawgs (sure it was seven of the best years of my life, but there was more to being an undergrad at UGA than football

)

What I don't understand is how two guys, both of whom I've met in person, passionate about slalom skateboarding, can act like total imbeciles on the internet.

Smack talk is okay in person, where facial gestures and intonation help convey sarcasm, but it's out of line here.

Now if I don't see either of you in St. Louis i won't be the least bit surprised, but if you don't make it to my race in Athens, I'll be pissed

Wesley criddled that last "e" when he hit the shift key by accident, allowing Brady to take a two stroke lead into the finals of the Keyboard Klassik.

Wesley Tucker · Post by **Wesley Tucker** » Tue May 06, 2003 4:31 pm

Funny. I didn't mention anyone by name. Why would someone take such exception to a rather humorous characterture?

Oh, and for the record, please understand I'm not "arguing" about the course. I never said anything about the course or any criticism or offered any brilliant insights from the comfort of my easy chair. I never saw the course and of course never rode the course. I have no insights to give.

I did say in another forum that I understood the reasons for running single lane time trials at the Motel 6 Classic Friday night, but at no time did I criticize or even praise the course or courses. I didn't see the courses and of course never rode the course. I have no criticism or praise to offer.

I just criticized the rather idiotic tendency of others who did not attend to criticize courses they did not see and of course did not ride.

Two people that were not there arguing with each other about the course.

This truly is the "dark side of the cone".

Brady Mitchell · Post by **Brady Mitchell** » Tue May 06, 2003 3:52 pm

My god Wesley, you`re turning into another A-rab! I was so off when I commented on the friday night course of which I didn`t attend....WRONG!!! I didn`t say a god damned word about that course. Yet you so poignantly took my words out of context just so you can slam me...ever so Ara-besque.

And who is calling the kettle black? How could you possibly know what when down if you weren`t there? YOU COULDN`T!

If the east coast wants to be pigeon-toed into TS only, then fine. But Alan ran cones with the Florida boys already...AT SPEED!! He was doing 4 wheel drifts around cones on a park board. SPEED, that`s where the fun is!

So Wes, the know it all slalom god, get your facts straight before your mouth has the runs again.

And just what was your excuse for not coming? The chance it might rain? The event was not in a downtown setting? Or it just wasn`t the perfect hill, course for your antiquated parallel stance?

Somebody buy him a clue....

Paul told me he set this course to accomodate the begginers. It was a classic DC outlaw course. I don't think anyone would argue with that.

How low can you go? Do you need like 12 feet straight? We've done that as well.

If one can make a course on a longboard, it's a beginner's course.

Wesley Tucker · Post by **Wesley Tucker** » Tue May 06, 2003 5:21 am

Isn't it amazing? I wasn't at The Gathering. Everyone who was there knows that by now. I know, though, pretty much what went down, who won what and what was accomplished and what needs work. Very simple.

I also know Tway decided he didn't want to sit around in his hotel room Friday night waiting for Saturday, so he invited everyone who was in town to the Motel 6 Classic at the Gaithersburg Park & Ride. This event HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GATHERING. If you wanted to race, you paid your $10 and got in line. I wasn't there, but I know what went down. I know PD set the course. I know everyone got three chances at the course and your fast time was recorded. Simple enough.

Now the Motel 6 Classic is being criticized by the South Florida God Of All Slalom from his Easy Chair on High because it didn't cater enough to newbies. After all, Andy Bittner said the courses at the Gathering would be for racers of all levels. And since the Motel 6 Classic was Friday BEFORE the Gathering, the course should have also been set to cater to newbies.

I wasn't there. I know what went down. Everyone on the East Coast and most everyone in the Western Hemisphere knows what went down Friday night at the Motel 6 Classic.

Well I just got home from meeting the Howells Rick, Carin, Katie and Sarah along with Henry J at Disneylands "Downtown Disney" ESPN Zone.

After losing to my son Nathan in Race cars, Motorcycles and Baseball, All I got to say is I have lost all hope for Henry winning the Frogger game against Sarah!

Sarah-be nice and go easy on Henry!!!!

Henry-Good meeting you! enjoy your new ICK, that thing is Shear Badness!!!!!! Hope I can make it tommorow after Nathans Contest.
You should have my cell# on yer phone. call me around 11am. And please dont embarass all of Malekind to bad in the Frogger Game!

I seen Sarah playing games tonight and the girl is outright talented and ruthless!

Eric Groff · Post by **Eric Groff** » Sat Mar 15, 2003 7:22 pm

Henry-I think yer getting to her with breaking the house rules, one piece of advice though, DONT PEE ON THE TOILET SEAT!! Thats rule #1 that you dont want to break.

When she wants to play Frogger, tell her your to tired, (you dont want to play on her time or terms).

Keep up the good fight my friend!!!!!!

Sarah Howell · Post by **Sarah Howell** » Sat Mar 15, 2003 5:02 pm

Hey all,

George Gould · Post by **George Gould** » Sat Mar 15, 2003 4:26 am

Henry,don't do it. even if you are in the woods by yourself you are still wrong, you are a guy. we have been losing since Samson went out with that chick Delilah.

Take for instance the man who said marriage is a 50/50 proposition. He was wrong, first he don't understand fractions nor does he understand women.

she'll crush you like rocky did Clubber Lang.
way before your time.

Henry-Dont tell me you fell for the old "I'm Babysitting" trick, the girl is out practicing Frogger as we speak, Dont let us down!!!!!!

Here is some advice for ya!

Breath Deep
Dont let her smack talkin get to ya, She is a pro at it, just hold yer ground!
When she lets you get ahead, take advantage of it and go for the kill, you have to understand, girls will always let guys get a step ahead so they can feel machismo, then they will just drive you into the ground and make you feel like crud.

Attack Attack Attack!!!!!

She looks like a sweet little girl but she plays mean and dirty like a boy, you do the same!

Adam--
Frogger has come a long way since Atari, man. I used to rock at Atari Frogger, but then I played Nintendo Frogger, and even Frogger for the PC. It just ain't the same. It is all about understanding the response time of your controls. Oh, and I think that the logs sink more often in the new Frogger than the arcade version that you know so well.
I would never take on any person under the age of 16 in a video game war, dude. For some reason it is just hard coded in today's youth to just be good at all things digital.

Frogger?

Now you are talking my language. Back in the early 80's at our local ASU "Devil House" club where "New Wave" was epitomized to the masses of the Phoenix Metro area of the time, there was a Frogger video machine. I remember listening to many live acts while playing Frogger way back when.

I'm an old fart and I think I can take you in Frogger no problem, been there, done that.
