For TominTib
 DU would not be nearly as entertaining for me without his posts. He has genuinely made me feel like an old drinking buddy though we've never met. From what generous stories he's shared I feel we're travelers on similar paths, although his seems infinitely more...ahem..."Adventurous" than the ones I've been on lately. Much love my friend. I've learned much from you.

I noticed that earlier.  Apparently, it's circle jerk day at the DUmp.

Quote from:

For Redstone...

Yeah, I know, this should probably be in The Lounge (and Mods, feel free to cross-post), but I just cannot go there.

We have a true treasure here, an ascerbic poster who calls himself Redstone.

For those who have never met him, know him.

If you never heard him sing (back in the day), it is your loss.

The nights grow longer, and we get creaky.

But I know that my life has been made different, thanks to my Friend.

Tom

We were just Tramps on the Street... (I am going to take some liberties, here)


A long time ago
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of train track
To hear ol' Redstone sing

His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me

Just a tramp on your street
You must understand
You got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand

No I don't have to pick
And I don't have to choose
I don't have to win
And I don't have to lose

And if I make any pay
I'll just throw it away
I don't count on tomorrow
I just live for today

Still you opened yourself
And you held me inside
You made a stray dog like me
Feel welcome tonight

Just a tramp on your street
You must understand
You got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand

If Billie Joe was here, we would be singing this for Redstone. Con mucho gusto.
Vaya con Dios, mi Amigo.
Tom

Now all that's left is for the red-faced bird-smacking primitive to give a reach around to the shadowknows69 primitive and the mutual love-fest will be complete.

Yeah, I'm thinking no. Closest thing Tom's ever came to experiencing anything like Richard Marcinko was an LSD hallucination in the basement of his mother's house.

Hope they call him out.  Hope he shows up to defend himself.  I don't think he'll show but it would be nice to see him squirm!

As it is for us.  In a way, I'm happy they humor him.  The entertainment that we derive, and the agita that we sometimes provide him is priceless.  (MasterCard could do a commercial about it.)

He is also the perfect symbol for the DUmp neighbor....a lying phony in his own right and evidence of how idiotic his defenders are there as they ignore the mountain of BS he has spewed.

I can`t relate never having served but do understand however the deep resentment those that have made sacrifices for this country have for his lies regarding military service and hope one day he gets his due for that.
Falsely claiming to be a military hero in the midst of a place that has nothing but contempt for our military is probably the biggest slap in the face one could give to true heros and patriots.

Very interesting.  In looking at this thread again the original post has been moved to the Lounge while there is an almost identical thread for Redstone which has remained in GD.

Wonder why that is?
