Ed Dolan's Fifth and Final Farewell to Freaking ARBR!

[Edward Dolan]

I know all I will ever want to know about recumbents and so there is no
point in hanging out on this freaking newsgroup any further. I am only being
saddled with all the idiots and morons anyway of which all newsgroups are
mostly composed.

Any of you who think it is worthwhile to post to ARBR have rocks in your
head. There is no greater waste of time than bothering with Usenet. It is
for imbeciles.

I shall now only commune with myself as I should have done in the first
place. My Greatness is not for the midgets and dwarfs of Usenet. I leave you
to yourselves. May you all fornicate with one another until kingdom come and
thereafter burn in everlasting hellfire!

If the sound of two hands is clapping, then the sound of one is of
waving goodbye. Best of luck contemplating your navel, ed.

It seems to only be an opinion on your part Jim.In another thread Ed wrote,"Riding a recumbent is all about fun.It is just about the most enjoyable thing that it is possible to do.Everytime I go out on my recumbents,I marvel at how comfortable they are and how easy it is to get around on them.The rest of the world does not know what it is missing".
What can I say,maybe you Jim should contemplate your navel?

 

[Jeff Grippe]

Bye.

 

[nget]

Bye.

Leaving so soon Jeff,I barely got to know you. Are you sure you won't change your mind?

I saw the same message you did. Pity was that over the recent past
there weren't more of them and less of the other.

I take it your navel has lint in it.

Hey gang -

In reply to the originator of this thread, Jeff
wrote, simply, but still apparently confusing one
simpleminded reader:

>Bye.

Should that have been: 'Bye, NGET[1]; hello again,
nget'? How odd that as the NGET is at long, long
last leaving us (perhaps!), nget has gnow suddenly
become much more prolific than he/she/it/they
has/have been in months.

It is interesting to look back over the apparent
relationship between nget and the NGET. The nget
persona "hides behind" a user gname and webposts at
ARBR via Cycling Forums (making his/her/its/their
actual email address obscure at best). He/she/it/they
would seem to be an uneducated common laborer who
has set gnew standards for wretched formatting of
messages and misspelling, as well as grammar and
punctuation errors. Aren't those all things the NGET
has repeatedly declared he despises, and for which he
has (way too often!) damned and demeaned most other
ARBR posters?

Yet nget and the NGET have constantly, consistently
remained a mutual admiration society all year, much
thicker than Beavis and Butthead, eagerly striving
side by side to battle top posters, liberals, one
other particularly prolific person and a poopy poet,
as well as all recklessly racing recumbent cyclists -
especially the gnotoriously evil Johnny GnoCom. Is it
profound, mysterious or merely 'sui generis'[2] that
these two posters, as different as Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde could have so much in common - well, sort of
like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? So much alike and yet
so different, almost as if those differences were a
conscious effort...

Is it possible that the NGET has actually tried to
come through on one of his 'promises'? Remember this
from the 'Milestone... Appoaching [sic]' thread?:

>I am planning to change my persona on this newsgroup
>in the very near future as well as my email
>address... Stayed [sic] tuned!

Following Ed Gin's example, I am hereby offering $10
for firm proof that nget and the NGET are gnot the
same person. Unlike Mr. Gin, however, I will be very
explicit about what is required: copies of birth
certificates for both 'persons' mailed directly from
the state or national agencies, and complete info for
at least one credit card for each (type, number, the
3-digit code on rear, expiration date and current
billing address).

But, hey, does anybody really care who or what nget
is as long as he/she/it/they makes a gnominal effort
to be reasonably gnice?

[1]: NGET is a (perhaps oxymoronically unpronounceable)
anagram for: Nasty, Gratingly Egregious TROLL
[2]: M-W lists 'peculiar' as a synonym for this Latin
phrase.

Regards,
Wayne [gnot Tom, in spite of the footnotes!]

Lol,there is no lint right now I just checked.Not every post has to please me or live up to my standard.I have learned in life to take the bad with the good for that is the way for man while he yet lives.

Now just who is in your gang Wayne,I mean besides up yer bum bum slugger?
Jeff just said bye.He never provided any text for that word.When someone says bye I would think they are leaving.If you are wondering why I am not responding to the rest of your post,it is because you really didn't say anything that is of any interest.

 

[skip]

Ed always said his leaving the newsgroup would be a really big deal so I'm
thinking "Ed Dolan's One Hundredth and Final Farewell to Freaking ARBR"
might be it. I don't think he can stand to be out done by Cletus Lee in
final farewells.

You're aim must be improving, is this from practice or have you just
realized it is more accurate to stop the trike before firing?

Guess I didn't have the same control. I wasn't polite.

My first read on ARBR I decided Perry Butler was right to hate Ed until I read something that Ed wrote.That is when I started to laugh.Now we have a gang of Ed Dolan Haters with Wayne the Poopy Poet as their leader.Glad to see your post Skip I always enjoy reading what you have to say.

HAh, we's in a gang!
No seriously why be so literal? Do you need it spelled out for you?
Good Bye usually means just that..Oh I guess then he did spell it out
for you. Read it again..maybe you'll get it the second time.

All Jeff said was bye.I thought he too was fed up with the Idiots and morons that post on ARBR.The proof is that you and Wayne are still here.

Sorry to return to something on topic but I flipped me Tricruiser for the
second time this weekend. I got a much nastier road rash than I did the
first time. The good news is that it happened in my driveway so I didn't
have to ride home.

I love the Tricruiser but I had gotten used to riding something much lower
that just doesn't flip as easily. The Tricruiser is very high off the ground
and doesn't corner well at high speed. It is great for short trips, however,
and can haul a fair amount of stuff. Just watch those corners.

I rolled my trike once Jeff.Lucky for me I fell onto sand and the rear basket took the hit .
You had better stay on topic or some nasty trike huckster may write you up in one of his filthy poems.

i'd be honored. I think I've made honorable mention in some of Wayne's poems
but they weren't about me. They were about Ed. I don't need someone to sing
my praises and since I don't go around insulting the world there probably
isn't much to write about but I can't say I'd mind the attention.

[TomT]

Geez, I come back after a couple years and Ed is still in the process
of leaving? Too bad; he's funny once you understand that he's so over
the top that he could not be serious. So, you laugh with him. If he
_is_ really serious, then you laugh _at_him. Either way, it's a
giggle.

Anyone who can create a persona and maintain it for so long and so
consistently has to be reasonably intelligent.

>[spacing and punctuation ed-ited]

How ed-ifying. But I suspect the group might appreciate
it if we could ed-uce a bit more detail. Was that basket
mounted on the TT3.6 or the new-old Windcheetah? Or is
there another trike in nget's stable (one fewer than
you-know-who's)? How did his wife react to the incident?
Where did the flip occur - about 200 miles SW of Ed-ina
and Ed-en Prairie, maybe?

>You had better stay on topic or some nasty trike
>huckster may write you up...

Whoa! Is nget ngetting ed-gy?
