Was this really necessary?

Maybe I've missed something over there, but I honestly just don't get it.

This a feel good battra thread.

Happy times.

A happy place.

And to answer your first question, I'm not sure that anything anybody has ever posted on any internet forum is really necessary.

That's fine. Like I said, I just don't quite get it. But I'm all for having some fun, so have at it.

(The tough part about this type of communication is that it could be very easy to think I was being an ass even though I'm just trying to understand.)

I could be wrong because I didn't read through all the battra threads, but I took it as one horse's ass trying to make a big deal out of something real asinine and then people started having fun with it. Maybe I was drunk though and the fun part was all in my head, that's always a possibility.

Perfect smart ass answer to my smart ass question.

Yeah I thought so too!

I never understood why people didn't like him, he has a point of view and always got it across. I never took anything he said personally.

OK...

Hi there.

As long as people are being nice, you may speak about me, of me, to me, and near me.

I'll also answer questions about my history, my viewpoints, and world history cross referenced with religious context.

Could someone be the Liberace of mowing lawns or was Liberace the Liberace of everything?

I'm going with the latter.

LOL...

You sure pissed in someone's Wheaties over there. When I landed in San Fran waiting for my connection home, I hopped on Blues Talk, and your thread was up to something like 45 pages. That's Fantastic...

Best Battra memory. I'll never forget your assistance with my students next History 304 assignment, comparing the running of an NHL franchise with that of Feudal Japan. They ALL stated that was the best assignment they ever had. Hell, some of them were so good I gave them to Don to read, as I knew he'd get a kick out of them.

Why didn't Abraham Lincoln legalize gay marriage?

Honestly...

I know I can come off...with an ego sometimes...

But really...what in the world is that thread about?

At first it was an ego boost, then it became scary...that thread made me decide it was time to leave that forum as an active participant.

If this experiment fails, I'll find somewhere else to talk hockey, but I'm going to do my level best to keep traffic, posts, etc.

Can you refresh my memory about that analogy? I only have a vague recollection of it...was that after my divorce when I was drinking too much?

Being as Abraham Lincoln was a white supremicist and didn't even free the slaves, how could we really expect him to foster marriage equality?

I know it was in 06/07, because I was bitching about working the upcoming NHL combine after working the previous one (the one with EJ), and knew I was pretty much going to be a slave for a few weeks. I started a thread about what history assignment to keep my students busy while I was gone, and you suggested the above. At first we all got a laugh out of it, but the more I thought on it, I figured that it would force the kids to really use that noodle of theirs.

Blues Talk was a much better forum back then, as we embraced the SUCK, and leaned on each for support instead of throwing insults.

Well, there we go...pretty close to that time.

Back then I felt a camaraderie with all the posters...for the most part.

Granted, I tended to overshare..haha

When will Blues fans learn to love again?

I hate people that have different opinions than me!

Agreed.

We should just upgrade my opinions to scientific fact and keep this shiz simple.

Is a dog man's best friend or is man just here to serve his dog?

I gotta clean up outside so this question just came up.

Battra--Best mullet in the history of Blues message boards.

Wow...that's an old timey one.

Also, dogs are inferior to cats.

I asked this in the other thread and didn't get a response, and my feelings are terribly hurt... but I'll ask it again:

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? NOTE: African, not European.
