A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got any grapes?"



The bartender, confused, tells the duck no. The duck thanks him and leaves.



The next day, the duck returns and asks, "Got any grapes?"



Again, the bartender tells him, "No -- the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes and, furthermore, will never serve grapes." The duck thanks him and leaves.



The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender yells, "Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!"



The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, "Got any nails?"



Confused, the bartender says no.



"Good!" says the duck. "Got any grapes?"









Clever Duck, eh? Mike, of course you didn't say it, but it was implied. How many counterpoints on an Internet forum have started with "Show me where I said..." Even though its Geo taking issue with Rog about it, your point was still implied, which of course Rog responded with the subtly of a sledge hammer (which knowing you, can handle it).

An old joke but a good one, and apposite, but what I meant was that I do recognise at some level that I don't have any right to dictate people's behaviour on the forum, particularly the likes of arrabbiata. I had actually decided to vacate the thread having said my piece, but can't resist responding if someone comes back at me. My main point was that while arrabbiata has argued barry into a cocked hat on backing it in as he could me or anyone else on virtually any topic if he so chose that actually not wanting to fly around the world at short notice does not necessarily prove anything extra, although barry's manner of refusal may. Forgive me for pro-aussie bias, but I also think the zoophilia thing may have been a joke on barry's part. You and roger meeting up after fighting on the forum and becoming fast friends is great, but not everyone has the same sense of adventure or is in the same circumstances as you guys were.



As I said, I now see arabbiata has taken genuine offence, I can see why he has, and that's the way it is. I consider myself to be mostly bantering on here, but admittedly take things somewhat seriously myself on occasion.



I sometimes wonder whether letters produced with quills and ink and sealed with wax were not a better means of communication than modern electronic methods, which seem to inevitably produce acrimony. I think arrabbiata would have thrived as an essayist or satirist in the johnson or moliere tradition.

Seems to me all parties in this endless .... fling have been equally obnoxious to one another. Rather than turning into a mob of angry villagers - the higher road taken might be agree to disagree and put an end to it.



To whinge about Barry not taking up any generous offers is a joke. Right or wrong, Baz has been ganged up on and been subjected to a shock and awe display of aggressive hate-spew that (IMHO) seems disproportionate to anything he's said. People ..... and moan at how often he does it but seem incapable of taking into account that the more you poke a wounded animal the more it will try to bite you. It's no mystery that at times he seem less than good-natured. To realistically think that at this juncture Barry would ever want to have a beer with the people who have ganged up to revile him at such great lengths and with such gusto is ridiculous. If he's a much a mental defective as people say he is why the .... not just put him on your ignore list. I did so with Pinky, Super-......, Nino and a few others and it works fine. If I were able to tell Charles Manson to his face what an ....... he was - I wouldn't bother because it would never affect him one way or the other. Baz is no Manson - but he has demonstrated pretty well by now that you're never going to wear him down and that he doesn't live for validation by other powersliders and if he's nothing more than a troll - he's an incredible success by troll standards and the sheer amount of time people waste on berating him is a measure of that success. I neither love nor hate the guy but give him props for at least being able to make fun of himself and not take himself as seriously as his detractors do.

Thanks Kesh. Great input as usual. The wisdom of Solomon.............................
 
Fair enuf Mike. Ur a good guy. One of the best. Never never never and i mean never (and that goes for EVERYBODY on this forum) take offense at anything ever said in this virtual dimensionless expanse of mesons. If u do, its clearly and unapologetically YOUR OWN fault. Its a lesson i myself learned and must continue to remind myself of, but when u do so, this space will become a bit of nirvana.

Yet your remorseless bullying of me over my faith in Jonathan Rea persists. Jonathan is a highly misunderstood rider and your incessent barbed comments are a continual thorn in my side. They incise right through me and pierce my heart. Your constant caustic quips are corrosive I am requesting in the absence of moderation that you desist. This would never have happened in the past because Mari would have reigned you in long before your deep seated hatred became rampant. Willski never got this treatment over Hector Barbera for Christ sakes.



I am a victim here and I'm being bullied over my unshakable belief in Jonathan.Your words are 'rat' poison Jumkie and the only remedy is to cleanse you of your prejudice. I want to see something positive on the Rea man crush thread by the end of today in support of the commencement of Jonathan's hard earned Moto GP oddysey this weekend.

As I said, johnson and moliere may have quailed before you.

It wasn't just a case of BM disagreeing with our information and experience with the technique of backing in. He continually publicly ridiculed us over it while ignoring evidence to the contrary. He continually dragged it up at every opportunity implying we were defeated on the subject in many threads that were not furnished with evidence to the contrary. This was a tactic used by him to try and make Arrab and myself look ignorant in front of members not aware of the other threads.

As for his bestiality, well what do you expect when you admit to something in a place where very few have any respect for you. Why you mickm would stoop so low as to defend bm is beyond me. Maybe its an aussie looking out for aussie thing, or maybe your just a big mouthed ill informed do-gooder?

You reap what you sow as BM is finding out. You have no issue with BM mickm but we do. If you don't like it then please feel free to butt out !

Big mouthed do-gooder is probably a fair description of me. I have not, however, ever as far as I recall ever objected to anyone taking me personally to task per se, singly or multiply.

Apparently it's acceptable when a dozen or so people pile on to support your feud - but not okay when a few express an opinion contrary to yours. Roger's World - Love it or leave it.

But i have pics, do you ? I told you i wasn't interested in talking to you kesh, but since then you have quoted damn near every post with a dig. Up until now i have ignored you. Don't push me little man !



I have not forgiven you for what you said about my kids. Yeah you come over all high and mighty but ive seen a different side of you. The man who stands in the corner at a drunken party stone cold sober, then prays on drunken men.
 
A man who smelled like a distillery flopped on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half empty bottle of tequila was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes, the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked, "Say, father, what causes arthritis?"



"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man."



"Well I'll be." the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.



The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long did you have arthritis?"



"I don't have it father. I was just reading here that the Pope does."



(What is the moral of this joke?)

the moral of the story is... When drunk don't sit next to sober man with a moral high ground attitude. You never know what they have planned for you. just like the Catholic Priest?
