welcome all new members. good to have you all here.
looks like the site is growing everyday.

You know us well! I'll put out the word and remind them to start out here on this thread. After that, its anyone's guess......

By the way, thanks for the warm welcome...starting to feel at home again already! And for the rest of the regulars in here....a litle joke to get things started off:

Catholics
A man arrives at the gates of heaven. St. Peter asks, "Religion?" The man says, "Methodist."
St. Peter looks down his list, and says, "Go to room 24, but be very quiet as you pass room 8."

Another man arrives at the gates of heaven. "Religion?" "Baptist." "Go to room 18, but be very quiet as you pass room 8."

A third man arrives at the gates. "Religion?" "Jewish." "Go to room 11, but be very quiet as you pass room 8."

The man says, "I can understand there being different rooms for different religions, but why must I be quiet when I pass room 8?"

St. Peter tells him, "Well the Catholics are in room 8, and they think they're the only ones here.

LOL..."LONG LIVE TONGORAD!"...I love it! Hell, I thought maybe it was Alex "MONGO" Karas' son, showing some refinement and sticking it up the Gang of Five's ani...

Makes me wonder how many delighful folks, with a lot to offer, were gangbanged over at Da Far Side...

Dad...thanks for the warm welcome! Already starting to feel at home again. I'll put the word out to the guy's and gals from jargon to at least visit here. (I'll remind them to checkin here on this thread)

To the regulars in here....hope to get to know you soon. Like most Marines, I have my own opinions and don't hesitate to let them be known, but I'm not an ass about them.

Myself, I'm a twenty year retired Marine, currently working as a contractor here at MCAS Yuma Arizona, on the NMCI contract. Enjoy the job, as well as the opportunity to bring this base's capabilities up to speed in the IT world.

Tongo Rad was well chosen...

He was a Space Hippie from the old Trek Episode " The Way to Eden. "

quote:

---

The Enterprise destroys the stolen space cruiser Aurora when it uses tractor beams to prevent it from entering Romulan space and the Aurora continues to use full power in an attempt to flee. The six passengers are beamed aboard the Enterprise before their ship's destruction, and prove to be Tongo Rad, the son of the Katulan ambassador (and must be handled with extreme delicacy because of ongoing Federation negotiations with Katula), Irini Galliulan (Chekov's former girlfriend and a Starfleet Academy dropout), Dr. Sevrin (a well-known research engineer in the fields of acoustics, communications, and electronics on from Tiburon), the musician Adam, and two unidentified girls. The group is dressed in far-out clothing, is disrespectful of authority, and calls Kirk "Herbert" (who was a minor official notorious for his rigid and limited patterns of thought---i.e., Herbert Hoover). The hippies demand to be taken to a planet called Eden and refuse to cooperate with Kirk. However, Spock seems to partially understand them when he makes a symbol and speaks of the "One." As a result the hippies allow Spock to lead them to sickbay....

Now if anyone had done a simple Google on TongoRad, they might have had an important clue to my true identity.

I thought about 'Mr. Roboto'..but that seemed too obvious a moniker....

But there DOES seem to be a few Herberts running amok!

LOL...yup, I can think of FIVE "Herberts"...

HAL, I didn't pursue it because I really didn't care who "Tongo Rad" was !!! All I knew is whoever it was posted something close to what I believe is the truth. I sensed some familiarity from the character on the boards. I really need to get the boxed set of STTOS. I just completed the purchase of the entire series(available so far) of Stargate SG1. Seasons 1-7. My next dvd collection will be that of Farscape !! ST-TNG, ST-DS9, and Voyager are on my list, but I can only spend so much $$$ at a time without suffering the "Wrath of Khan" !!

There's still that Bushmaster BAR-10 that I've been drooling over, too !!

Hello all. Navy Vet, Workin' on the railroad now. Looks like a good place to relax.

What can I say? Except hello, and let's do this. My views haven't changed, just a different spot. -pun intended-

Gawd I hope you haven't changed too much.

To everyone, just a friendly reminder to keep personal attacks/implications out of the posts. Thanks

Dad.. Even if we TRY to change at this point? We'd be called fakes by some, phoneys by others, and wannabies from some...

We have disagreed. We WILL disagree again.. I will push you, as you will me.. However, when the other concedes, we are men enough to accept..

I offered peace to the 'one whom we do not name', and was granted with a moderation. That I could handle. However none of my posts were getting posted.. Therefore I took that as 'banned'.. I was never informed that there was a time limit..

I created a new account to voice myself. An account I never denied having from post 1.. Banned now..

No biggie.. Techically? Yea, I created a dupe account.. However, I was never informed of my punishment.

i.e. Throw me in the hole with no 'out' date.

Anyhoo. I offered a manly handshake and a beer, and got slammed... That Sir, is wrong.. No matter WHO you are..


Dad.. Thanks for the welcome aboard.. We shall disagree, but are men enough to say enough. 'eh?
