+HartClimbs Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Banned User Unbanned after Local Cacher Uproar Nice to see - seemed silly in the first place. I guess retaining Johnny Cochrane as a geo-attorney was worthwhile. Link to comment
+KBer Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 A quote from Dante's, The Divine Comedy seems very appropriate: "...You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain." Link to comment

G*dd*mnit I said "order". Howard Johnson: Y'know Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order". Olson Johnson: Oh, blow it out your a** Howard. Edited April 19, 2004 by Bassoon Pilot Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 (edited) As Thoreau said "The weapons with which we have gained our most important victories, which should have been handed down as heirlooms from father to son, are not the sword and the lance, but the bush-whack, the turf-cutter, the spade and the bog-hoe, rusted with the blood of many a meadow and begrimmed with the dust of many a hard-fought field". What does this have to do with anything? Beats me. Edited April 19, 2004 by briansnat Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 As a not so wise geocacher once said, "Welcome back!". I think it means to welcome someone back, but I'm sure others will interpret it differently. Link to comment
+Harrald Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Since this is quickly becoming a quote-fest I think I'll add one. Billy Joel - Angry Young Man Lyrics There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl and he's always at home with his back to the wall. He's proud of the scars and the battles he's lost He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man. Give a moment or two to the angry young man With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand He's been stabbed in the back, he's been misunderstood It's a comfort to know his intentions are good He sits in a room with a lock on the door with his maps and his medals laid out of the floor And he likes to be known as the angry young man. I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage, I've found that just surviving was a noble fight I once believed in causes too, had my pointless point of view Life went on no matter who was right or wrong. And there's always a place for the angry young man With his fist in the air and his head in the sand He's never been able to learn from mistakes He can't understand why his heart always breaks His honor is pure, and his courage as well he's fair and he's true, and he's boring as hell And he'll go to his grave as an angry old man. There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl and he's always at home with his back to the wall. He's proud of the scars and the battles he's lost He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man Link to comment
+HartClimbs Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 As a not so wise geocacher once said, "Welcome back!". I think it means to welcome someone back, but I'm sure others will interpret it differently. Now that's funny. I thought the same thing - I posted I was happy to see BassoonPilot's main account unbanned, and got back a "blow it out your a**". I'll take it in it's best light and interpret it as "Thanks for noticing - it's nice to be back". Of course, maybe BassoonPilot and Bassoon Pilot are really different people (since both accounts are active and posting in the forums (and you *know* how that's frowned upon). Link to comment

+jonboy Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Buck the system Bassoon Pilot! These boards were boring without your bonmots. The question is will you accept this clemency with an appropriate show of contrition? I sure hope not! Link to comment

+Harrald Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 One more... Oingo Boingo Happy Lyrics Don't got a pretty girl who loves me alot Don't got a fast car that looks real hot Don't got a fine pad or stereo And I don't do well in the school where I go, go, go, go, go But I'm happy, happy I'm happy though the world is upside down I'm happy that we all made it through another day When I pick up the phone I still remember what to say I'm happy that my brain still lives inside my head Most of all I think I'm happy Happy that I ain't dead I read the paper, I saw the news All those people out there singin' the blues They get excited, why don't they just relax All we got to do is kick back, back, back And be happy, happy Happy though the whole world is ready to blow I'm happy that I made it through another day When I pick up the phone I still remember what to say I'm happy that my brain still lives inside my head Most of all I think I'm happy Happy that I ain't dead I know a guy with plenty of loot You'd never catch him in a two dollar suit He's got gold chains, plenty of rings He told me money, it don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing If you ain't happy, happy Happy though the whole world is upside down Be happy that you made it through another day When you pick up the phone you still remember what to say Be happy that your brain still lives inside your head Most of all I think I'm happy..... I'm happy I'm happy though the whole thing is ready to blow Be happy that the sun has rised up again That somewhere in this world I still got a friend Be happy that the big one, it hasn't dropped yet Be happy that you still got something Something, something to forget I'm happy (I'm happy, so happy) Link to comment
+Planet Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 But, this question begs to be asked, was a banned user that never left ever really banned in the first place? Maybe this will help: Ban won't wear off as the day wears on. (Actually sung by Harry Nilsson) Link to comment

+Mopar Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Woo Hoo! Good to know that no matter what you do here, if you hang on to some caches and TBs long enough, you'll get your way and be unbanned. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I hope Subigo, Pilty, Jomerac5, and any other banned users take notice. Heck, maybe even Boblog can get himself unbanned? God bless America! Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 BobLog would like to get unbanned. I was chatting with him just the other day and he said "BrianSnat, i cantnot hide no cashes becaus jerimy dontnot loke me an bant me becaus my grate idea for boblogs farmacy cash. how can he do this to a god guy lik me that nevr hert nobodye, explane this too me". I really didn't have an answer for the poor fellow. Link to comment

+Mopar Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Since we're doing movie quotes..... From American Pie Michelle:And one time at band camp, we weren't supposed to have pillow fights, but we had a pillow fight, and it was so much fun. A-And this one time, we all lost our music and we were supposed to play this song, but we didn't know it, so we just made it up and we kept playing and playing, and the conductor didn't know what we were doing, and it was so funny. So, you're pissed about somethin', huh. Link to comment
