What software are you using now? Vb has converters for the top 10 or so softwares.

I weren't scared. :cool:

Howdy Stephen, welcome back. :smile:
 
tom from ny?! tom Wow... and a super mentor even... :)

greg, simple machines forum ...http://www.discgolfforum.com

maybe i should start a new 'disc golf' topic in general discussion to see if popularity of the sport has grown. I remember the topic i started in pf2 had about 4 responses and 2 were me talking to myself. :)

i love the new flash(?) banner along top too.

Also... "bernhardt media", ... :) very nice. I am making waves in disc golf information exchange pretty big.

Also, i joined talkroot but i don't see a confirmation mail... I'm REALLY interested in that board.

Yeah I remember you making that forum now. I actually went disc golfing a couple times with my hippie friend :smile: I don't think vb has a converter for sm, it's not that common.

The one and only. :cool:

I had Greg add my last name this past year, and I swapped Jimi Hendrix for Super 400. But other than that, it's still just me.

If you're someone just returning from a former PF life, you don't know me yet, so hi!

But if you start a thread on disc golf, I'll be forced to grumble about the extreme lack of wisdom at the university I attended in installing the disc golf course weaving around the pedestrian/bike paths through campus! I had a friend who got beaned in the head pretty good with one of those discs. For the rest of us, it was like dodge ball all over again, but with harder, faster projectiles!

Hello Stephen,
Do you remember who pigeonholed him as a mystic using his own words? :biggrin:

Marley, huh? I assume the father more than the son?

Take care,

Not just a PF life, but a PF Mentorship. Stephen was the Theoretical Physics Mentor before Janus (before we broke up the Physics section into so many subsections).

He's also the guy who nominated me for a staff position. :approve:

Well, then we all must thank Stephen for his wisdom and foresight in making such an excellent nomination. [/buttering up] :biggrin: So, where do PF Mentors go when they leave? And this means mentors are allowed to leave and choose to do so? Say it ain't so! :cry: :smile:

How did Stephen get out of his cage, Tom you were in charge of staff shackles? :-p :biggrin:

He said, "Hey, look over there! A crackpot on the loose!"

By the time I realized it was a ruse, he was gone. :frown:

*moonwalks*
ooops, sorry, gettin a lil carried away. Hey moonie! thanks for the discuss in the world airport topic, so interesting imo.

Yes, my lack of mental facility is made up for with PURE BLIND LUCK. I just knew i had the hardest time understanding TOM's posts... so i knew he was the smartest.

Actually i like ziggy too... he's underrated and just tears up the stage live.
Of course bob is the MAN. Bob marley is the first 'gangsta' musician imo. So honest... brutally honest. Even for his reported faults(everyone has those) he is still one of the most pure honest and amazing musicians... ever.

His Dragonfly album I thought lacked something found in earlier material, but I have implied perhaps some dislike of his work when in fact I do very much enjoy same.

Bob Marley was surely a musical genius, imho. I still listen to his works occasionally even today and I have quite an extensive library of material from this artist. Changing gear somewhat, The Mighty Sparrow is a Calypso musician I have enjoyed since his early days and still tours regularly.

Putting forth risqué lyrics for the times, I found him a particular delight. Songs such as: Mr. Walker, Lying Excuses, Witch Doctor, Jean and Dinah, and Melda I could recommend.

Mr. Winston Rodney, of Burning Spear fame, is a dynamite artist himself.

But enough of this, for it has wet my musical appetite so I’m off to spin some vinyl !

Stephen, please do the honors of posting Bob Marley in the thread - Favorite Frontman? in General Disussion forum.

We left out reggae.

Well, you didn't used to be. I remember really liking Stephen's posts in PF2...

Oh, and lifegazer wasn't the only one we were afraid of. Remember Alexander? Both of them subjects for my "hurdles" threads, and both eventually banned. Oh, great, now I'm nostalgic...I think I'm going to cry :cry:.

Well, lifegazer is currently haunting the JREF boards. You could always go visit him there. :-p

Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't miss "THE MIND" in the slightest...I'm just a little nostalgic for the old arguments.
 
  • #30
well, some people think I'm an a$$, so.. i give them the benifit of the doubt :)
Alexander, oh yes i do. I argued with him about the 'reality' of what 'numbers' may be and i was never really satisfied that he answered my questions to him, so i stopped bothering.

I'm not, try having to wade through all that garbage.

I have always admired your patience and diligence in that regard (as well as in the case of Alexander, which went on even longer, IIRC).
