HBT Hall of Fame

[bob1852]

And you say this why? You think I do this for some ego gratification? You think I answer all the same questions over and over trying not to get too frustrated, AND put up with all the trolls, and haters, becasue I have some ego that needs to be fed?!!??

I don't do it for postcount, I don't do it for the thanks, and I am offended that you think so.

I do it to give back to the communtiy that gave so much to me when I was starting. I do it because I am tired of mis-information, and outdated "common wisdom" that repeatedly gets handed out as gospel, with little or no validity to it. I do it because I hate to see how scared new brewers are of their creations, thinking that if they even look their first brew wrong, it's going to be ruined. I do it to save beer being dumped because the new brewer did one thing "wrong" and is possitive that it's going to turn out bad. I do it to remind folks that this isn't brain surgery that it is a HOBBY and is supposed to be fun.

I don't do it to prove I have bigger knowledge than anyone else, or that I have a bigger "hydrometer" than anyone else.

I do it for the same reason that two Sundays ago, when my girlfriends next door neighbor OD huffing freon that Friday, and his mother found him two days later, that I went in after the cops and coroner took the body away, and cleaned out the blood and **** stained matress and pillows so the family wouldn't see how bad it was when they went in there.

Or sitting for hours with the mother whom walked into the church i was interning at after finding out that her sun had laid his head on a railroad track seconds before a train came, to commit suicide. Just holding her and letting her cry, and rage and vent. And giving up "fun" plans I had that afternoon to do so.

I do it for the same reason I became a minister, to help folks. Not for praise, not for thanks, but becasue I have skills and knowledge, that allows me to help folks. And I don't mind doing the dirty or repetitive jobs, if it means someone else doesn't have to.

I don't care about praise or thanks or honors, I never have, and it embarrases me when I get those threads on here where people do so. And I thank my brother Homercidal for understanding where I'm comming from.

But it does hurt that YOU think I do it for those shallow reasons like praise or ego.

okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

Hahaha, that's awesome.

Alright guys, let's go back to our regularly schedule program before certain trolls come out sniffing blood. They just delight in this sort of thing, and can't see the difference between busting chops and bloodletting.

I think if anything the mods deserve HOF fame, for putting up with all of us, for no pay, and little fun.

Hear, hear.

Man, I wish I was a mod. BanHammer Fridays!!!!

There would be no one left on this forum after a month.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Agree, instead of a HBT Hall of Fame (which would just be a popularity recognition list), let's just all send 3 cheers to the mods for keeping this place civil and fun at the same time.

Like this?

If you look at the threads that got locked last night, I think it was thrown a lot yesterday. You can tell summer is here and the kiddies are out of school by the number of lock symbols on threads in my users cp.

Wow! That was pretty entertaining!

This post will self-delete in five seconds......

Didn't Ban Hammer do the theme for Miami Vice?

Yes, yes he did.

You think I post here because I want to make a point!? Points are pointless! I post because the voices in my head tell me to! Hell, if I ever had anything worth saying, I would say it to a real person if and when i ever meet one.

What do you have against cheese anyway? Cheese is the wine of the mice, and if it's good for a mouse, then it's good for Tom Hanks.

I have nothing more to say on the subject.

You just KNOW now that they "re-imagined" The A Team, that movie's not too far behind.

I present to you, the "Black and Ban."

Say one more word about cheese and I cut choo mang. That's fodder for full blown fisticuffs here in Wisconsin.

Your images mean nothing to Ban Ki Moon.

Talk to the hand, Cheese Boy.

Oh that's great. Every time I hear his name I start laughing.

That's it. Close off this thread to the bystanders. This is going to get ugly after I force LGI to eat a block of runny Limburger.
