Hi Harley,


 


The John Deere Owners club have an equally great forum y'know. Also, the following web page should be no stranger to the bookmark bar if ever you need some spare parts or fancy an upgrade on the trade in..Lol! ;-)


 


http://www.jbrockandsons.com/used-farm-equipment-machinery


 


See what I did there?...in assuming from your moniker that you are indeed one of Milwaukee's brethren I inserted 'Lol' followed by an innocent wink just to accentuate the fact that it was supposed to be a humorous and harmless quip. Notice, I also said 'see what I did there'.


 


This is largely due to the new book I'm writing entitled 'My Social Network Lexicon'. My editor and agent Jumkie ever a believer in the benefits of brevity himself, castigated me for it's length and urged me to shorten it to simply read 'My Lexicon' but I wasn't sure about the connotations. Couldn't understand why, but to me that name came across as insufferably pompous, conceited, supercilious and generally condescending in nature, leaving me with the feeling that in alienating my audience no one would have the slightest bit of interest in, far less comprehend anything I'd have to say.


 


Anyway Harley, the idea is to provide a handbook/users guide to the basic terminology, colloquialisms, vernacular and etiquette of Internet interaction and to stress that it's really all in the deployment. By way of example: You may at times wish to convey something highly controversial or even offensive in nature even if it is by nature an axiom - (y'know...the emperors clothing syndrome), so by clever strategic use of say the hilarious and highly original popular appendage 'just sayin' you can maintain that diplomatic air of impartiality/immunity with impunity - irrespective of the can of worms you've just prized open.  Allow me to demonstrate if you will:


 


'That Nicky Hayden seems awfully protective of his sisters...just sayin'


 


Remember though, unlike that last exercise, it doesn't necessarily have to imply something, as such...it is the instant get out of jail card that you can whip out at any time to exonerate your less subtle observations ie:


 


'It's very unlikely that any member of this forum would have had the opportunity to have ridden a 500cc GP bike...just sayin'


 


or perhaps...


 


'There's a great deal of reliance on Wikipedia on this site...just sayin'


 


You can even be more emphatic if you wish:


 


'Christ, that BJC's a bragging plagiarising ...........just sayin'


 


or..


 


'It seems that stuck up ponce Zoot has ...... off at last and taken his opinionated dictatorial diatribe and downloadable degree certificates to blight another less fortunate forum................................................................................................................just sayin'


 


This is just an extract, a taster of the book, but there is also ample instruction on how to maximise the effectivity of your 'Lol's" 'Lmfao's' 'Rofl's' and your 'Baaaaaahahahahahaha's'


 


Yes, yes I can hear your objections - I know this is the terminology of the teen, the rubric of the ......, the language of limited and the illiterate...but once you master its context, your STFU's will assume an entirely new resonance your 'back in the day' will be infinitely more evocative and replete with vital verisimilitude and your 'That's how we roll around here' will tumble out of your typeface with equal assertive aplomb.


 


I am in full appreciation of the fact that harnessing a forum for my own mercantile and commercial interests is a tad mercenary. Indeed there have been other less legitimate and well intended attempts to promote everything from International Delivery and Despatch by a dodgy logistics outfit in Shropshire, to shameless vested interests in one Spanish Moto GP CRT rider in particular and even those that would bandy The Word of God in vain. But I do feel if it can enhance our collective contributions as a racing community/forum fellowship then it will be an altogether enlightening experience.


 


Speaking of which you must understand...and earlier I aptly used the words Brethren....this is a religion on here and there are those who take the subject matter of this forum very seriously hence the odd 'schism' from time to time. You may already worship false idols and in so doing prepare to be branded a heretic and proselytised in the process. We do actually broach motorcycle racing as well from time to time. Anyway, keep your guard and be ever on the watchtower - and if a stranger called Willski starts prodding your PM box like an over zealous Jehovah's Witness, be very worried..don't open the door or his mail and whatever you do don't befriend him...far less be tempted to place an order for his ......' Bibles.


 


Also beware of Barry J Taylor the one that would be known as 'The Machine'. Barry is the Kim Jun Un of this forum - all overblown threats, bellicose bombast and braggadocio but with the (intellectual) arsenal of an amoeba. Despite the apparent armistice between he and myself, we have been at war for sixty years. His chief weapon is aggression and if he trains it on you and launches a pre-emptive strike don't be deterred - judging from the contributions you have already made your IQ is well beyond his range. Press the right button though and he goes ballistic...then sit back and watch the fun. 'My Social Network Lexicon' publication would be lost on him because he instead employs an huge army of little yellow men to do his bidding.


 


It has occurred to me that your name may in fact genuinely be Harley - hence the Harley-Quinn play on words and in fact you have no chequered past or likewise affiliation with the brand. That being the case..... Why do Harley rides have tassels on their jackets? to see if they're actually moving. It's true though that Harley's never get out of the hard shoulder and rarely exceed 50mph...any faster and you can't see where the parts have fallen off. Harley owners are I accept their own breed..like an old dog...and like old dogs they both like to ride in the back of pick ups. Why did the Harley owner cross the road? He couldn't get his butt out of the chicken......

Ah, you made it, knew you would...you always take the bait.


 


Nonsense, I have long owned you Barry, I reel you in, or toss you back, depending on my mood - and amusingly you always come back which is why you'll reply to this.


 


No, only thing I forgot to mention was your love for Australian fauna.


 


Seriously, you are in my keep net..I love it!
