Yeah sometimes I go for the shock value and it usually doesn't go over well. Chalk it up to one of my faults.

I would love to see this region prosper and move forward which is why I am still here but it gets tougher each day to stay.

As for *hugs* well I will go with Lodgerdodger....piss off. :-)

Goat, there are different methods for different personalities. There can't be "everything to everyone" methods of motivation. To some people being honest is great, to others... it simply crushes them. Some people need the positive, you know?

I don't think anyone in Detroit is really wearing rose colored glasses when they look at the current state of the city; it's impossible.

Sean, remember when you said,
"Cheddar doesn't know me, he's never met me, and has no idea of the things I'm doing or not doing for this city"?
You bitch about how people like me ridicule you without even knowing you personally, but you turn around do that very thing. Lets take a look...

quote:

He seems to simply get his yahoos by being an asshole


How do you know how I get my yahoos? You don't know me.

quote:

He often doesn't practice what he preaches

How do you know what I practice? You don't know me.

quote:

he wastes more time than me on here


You're flat out lying here, sean. You have more posts here in less than a year than I have in six years. Combine this with your staunch proclaimation that there are bathroom attendants in the casinos and the picture being painted is that you are a liar.

quote:

He enjoys being hated and bringing down threads


How do you know what I enjoy? You don't know me.


quote:

He is trying to get attention, and show the rest of you he's cool.


How do you know what I'm trying to do? You don't know me.

quote:

It's apparent to me he has zero apparent good intentions for Detroit or this forum


It's apparent that you don't know what my apparent intentions are. Apparently you don't know me.


So, I've used facts and your own words to point out your inconsistencies and in turn you call me an asshole, a troll, and a donkey. Maybe one day you will learn and realize the lessons people here are trying to teach you, but I highly doubt it.

One more thing I forgot, SOD...Remember when you said you were going to go to all of those Open City Meetings? How did that turn out? Or those FSC meet ups?

On occasion, Sat and Sun until 6 every week. Our Sunday Brunch is really taking off in just two weeks.

I think I know where you're working at now. I'm going to be downtown for Opening Day on Friday, April 10. I'll stop in for a beer and then head next door for a sammich. Probably before the game at 1pm.

That's a plan. I'm waiting to hear from a place at the airport I interviewed with on Friday.

I talked with a bar owner tht hired my next-door neighbor, she ran an ad on Craigslist for 3 hours, she received over 50 apps in the next two days, so I don't expect much.

Don't forget to pick me up and bring an extra ticket.

JL, I was just going to pick up tickets for Opening Day, but it was going to cost at least $250 for two cheap seats and $500 for two really good seats. So I just picked up a 15 game plan for $430 (two seats) and I will be able to buy two seats for Opening Day. I figured, fuck it, if I'm going to be spending that much money, I might as well be able to go to as many games as I can.

In all likelyhood, I could buy a couple tickets off the streets before the game (so could you) for around $70 per ticket. I can't take the risk, though because this will be my 10th consecutive Opening Day and I just can't take the chance of breaking that streak.

The girlfriend's birthday present won't be a surprise. Now she knows she's getting 16 tickets to the Tigers.

You can't be a troll if you show up IRL.

You can still be an asshole, though.

I owe you at least a drink, too. Asshole.

The truth should never be against the rules. That's the assumption I've always gone on, anyway.

If people keep buying me beers, then I'll need to return the favor. I can see myself getting really drunk (big surprise). Where's Superaygun with the Jello shots?

There you go again Cheddar, don't be so full of yourself. Pointing out my short comings (and I know there are many) does not make you any better, not to mention you yourself have multiple names you post under.

Color me liar? You tickled me pink with that one. Please, do us a favor and put down the paint brush.

I did go to Open City, and will continue to go. Just another thing you don't know. I did what I said, just a little bit late. Actually, I seem to remember canceling before most of those events, and you still lied and said I just didn't show. Takes one to know one I guess...

Where did I say you didn't show? I wouldn't think I need to explain the difference between a question and a statement. In my post(1818), I asked questions, I didn't make any statements of fact toward you.


quote:

Prove it. You won't be able to because this is the only name I have on this board and I'm not even registered at the other site. Your statement is a flat out lie. This statement cannot even be construed as a mistake like your statement about bathrom attendants. This one is completely false. Let us all know when you get some evidence of your stated opinion.
Psssst...it will be impossible for you to get evidence because you are lying.

Wrong... as you often are.

Okay, here's a deal...If, within one month, you can prove that I am registered here on more than one account, I will donate $500 to this website.
If, within that same one month period, you cannot prove that I am registered under more than one account, you donate $50 to this website. I'm sure Lowell wouldn't mind the money either way so you are welcome to defer to his knowledge.

I am offering 10-1 odds because you are absolutely incorrect. If you are so sure of your convictions, put up or shut up.

What do you have to say?

We need some kind of flow chart or scorecard to keep track of the DY feuds. Can you make one Johnlodge?

I don't care about pissing matches (especially after self-retiring from them), but I never want to read a statement like this again:

I'm glad that I finished breakfast before reading that.

Yeah, because I got some sort of bizarre crush on Cheddar.

Seriously guys, I'm just messing with him.
