Have u ever used chewing gum for catching flat head

Brand of gum Wriggles Extra Chewing Gum, green one, IDK about the other colours? ( Used , can't waste the flavour)

Not sure what Richy did, but I'd be real surprised if it warranted a ban. He can't shut up sometimes, but sometimes I can't either. So, I think we may start a free Richy rally tomorrow if someone doesn't start splainin...

Edit: I've done more research and I've kind of gotten the picture. Richy, we're gonna send a plate of food and a pitcher of sweet tea down to your jail cell. Be on your best behavior, and make sure to take your meds. I have a feeling that you will be let out fairly soon if you work at it. We'll be glad to have you when you make it back.

Later

Hey Jacklpe. I popped over to see you.. It's been an age.... And saw you

A coffee, a packet of Worcester Sauce flavour crisps and some leftover birthday cake if there's any left. Happy 6th. Are you going to put those fish in a bowl as pets or eat them? By the way I'm about half of you

Talking of eats, have you heard of a plug humans lunch? Or without auto correct its a ploughmans lunch. I could demolish a plate with a bitter top.

I think Richy saw this coming, even though I don't really know yet what's gone wrong... Ill take a read throug. How about arranging a wet t shirt comp instead of the pole, get the pretties in.

Chin chin patrons.

Hi all,

Happy belated 4th to the fellow Yankees here. I spent much of the day wearing my red white and blue at the county fair with the family. Exhausting. Was hoping for a cooler cloudy day but geez the sun came out and spoiled everything! Yeah it's a real b**** being in San Diego!

Dave do you have a cocktail with some red white and blue in it? Or maybe just red and something potent and clear, I typically don't like drinking anything blue.

And maybe I'll finally finish those pumpernickel snacks.

Manfred

EDIT: didn't mean to leave out the southern kin with the Yanks verbiage. Try "fellow 'muricans."

Yikes. Well that's an interesting turn of events. It looks like Z closed the asylum and put our barmaid in jail. I'm not too happy about Mrs Roo getting treated like that at all. She seemed to do her best to stay clear of Richy's ups and downs. Anyway, I'm sure Richy will find the nuclear option that would result in Z having to shut down the entire forum if he wants to keep him out. I'm not gonna spell it out, but it's not rocket science.

Anyway... I really hate to see them go. They have done a lot for the Jolly Roger over time and they will be missed. In the mean time class... Take a note. When you accuse the guy who owns the computer that we are typing on of this and that, he has the ability to give you the boot... And he will too...

Kind of a sad evening around here tonight. We'll talk to ya'll later

Jacklpe

Jack, check your PM box, please. Thank you!

It's 01:55a.m here at the moment and I'm feeling utterly shellshocked

Jack, can you make mine a very large scotch whiskey - single malt of course !

And do you have a spare bucket ?

Jackle, I certainly didn't want to arrive to this point but it left me few choices.
About Mrs Roo, she was off limits until Richy used her account to post. At that point it even made me doubt there is a Mrs since he could be using the account any time and it wouldn't be the first time he fakes an action under a different account. In any case, I had few choices but to ban the full address since obviously warnings, bans and all were completely disregarded.

It felt like getting a guest into your house and then hearing their constant whining, complaining and cursing every time you tried to satisfy them. The other guests were uncomfortable and as the owner of the house I had to take action. Unfortunately you can't throw the husband out of the house while keeping the wife inside having dinner. It just won't happen.

Zup, I'm not second guessing your decision. It obviously is your house, and you set the rules. I'm pretty confident that Mrs Roo has tried to avoid the conflicts. I also was pretty sure that his posting on Louise's account wouldn't sit well. Apparently I was right. Regarding the existence of Mrs Roo, I've been in games with the pair, and as good of a player as Richy is, I'm pretty sure that he can't fly two at once. So, obviously someone was flying the other plane.

But, I have no intention of starting trouble over the matter. Richy has always been very good and kind to me and it just hurts me to see it go this way. I do believe that he has a few issues with paranoia... And I'd say they just bit him in the butt. I hate that.

So although I respect your right to make whatever decision that you choose to make, it still sucks to see friends go. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way either.

Dave

I had every intention of attempting a big party when the Jolly Roger hit 1000 replies. But, as the mood in here is somber this evening, I think I'll let the occasion pass with only this mention.

Maybe if we make it to 2K we can light up the sky.

Thank you everyone for your patronage and participation in my little corner of the Dogfight universe. It's been fun, and I look forward to many more good times.

Jack, I think you have just summed-up everything I wanted to say on the matter most eloquently there.
I would like to add that Richy has always been very kind and helpful to me and most welcoming when he set up his squad.
I have heard from a couple of other players in games though that they had some issues with Richy. I guess when you get a couple of strong personalities together with a difference of opinion, there will naturally be some friction ! I think it is a real, real shame it had to come to this though but without knowing any real details, I am second-guessing what has really happened .

Lets take this on a easy way, guys.

NO ONE IS PERFECT. Everyone, all of us, makes mistakes sometimes. I made lots of mistakes in my life. And indeed I made some bloody mistakes here on this forum. Lets get over it. I see RichyRoo as a good-hearted person, but he knows he have a hot-head too. Paranoic? Yes, a little. Does it make him a bad person? I doubt it. I give him the benefit of the doubt, cuz I suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder, combined with high impulsivity. This brain disorder made my life a hell in my teenage. And even now I need to face some hard situations sometimes. I have two younger brothers that are schizophrenic. They use meds dayly, and have sort of a normal life. And believe me, I walk on the sunny side of the street. My brothers too. We are all good people, we just have some screw lose inside our nuts.

All this said just to let you all know that the worse effect caused by brain disorders is the prejudgement of others, "normal" people. I am not defending RichyRoo. I am just stating some things that, in my point of view, should have been taken in consideration when judgin his actions. But on the other side, I can not blame the mods nor Joaquin for their decisions. I don't know all the details (the reasons for Roo's banning), and now I see its not my business. And even not knowing the details, I can not deny that Richy, here, was always the eye of many storms.

I tried to help, indeed. I sent a PM suggesting Roo to not be too harsh with Zup and the mods, and he saw that I had a point. Few minute later, he deleted his post. Few hours later, he was banned. But not my business.

I said I don't want drama, and here is one more... lol

Let's cut the crap and play. Life goes on. Give me a alcohol-free-beer, Jack.

So, what do we do with the Looney Bin? Should we all go our separate ways or form a new squad? Should we just have the occasional reunion in Jack's bar?
By the way, I have pm'd Zup and e-mailed Richy. Please don't think I've been ignoring everything. I am devastated, but I understand everyone's perspectives.

My brother is unsure of what to do. He says he's started his own squad but will only use it if the Looney Squad is done

Ped has said he doesn't want to run the squad and rich said Biggs or ped so I think it is up to Biggs. If it turns out the squad does disband I'm going to go back to my old squad. Or maybe I will just retire from playing. I'm just so tired of all the bs.

And jack thank you being a second home for the displaced loonies. I'm sure i speak for the whole squad when I say words cant express how grateful I am.

Biggs, I know you are a very busy man, but you are the first on the list of the possible asylum managers. How about it?

Jason, if Biggs, as me, confirm that he cant take the responsability of become the squad`s manager / moderator, i believe you could do it! What do you say? Perhaps Yellow Belly...

I like that TV window, dont want to lose it...

You guys can use "ENJOY" if you want. The Lunatics was close to what I imagined.
You are all of great spirits and get along like puppies...you ENJOY each other and who knows?..I have a promise to keep now...maybe later I can be an "ENJOYER"!

What ever you decide to do. Good luck.

The Roo Family are messaging friends of mine. ZUPERMAN, the Mrs. ROO is real.
I feel for my friends, yet, ZUPERMAN had to make a tough decision, very tough.
Give him your support NOW. It's important for all of us.

I will always be here for Rich, Lou and the boys. My friendship doesn't die with a ban. It makes it stronger in this case.

Mantz,

Encha a cara essa noite, que a branquinha é por minha conta!
Você é o que a gente chama, aqui nas alterosas, de um "cabra porreta".

(I doubt you can translate it using the translators available on the internet. Well, there are many subtleness on the brasilian slangs I used. You will need a brazilian friend to translate it to you).


Enjoy!

Just for the record, I would just wanted to say that I, personally, would like to see the Looney Bin keep going. I believe we have the basis of a great squad and I think it would be a real shame to just let the squad die before it's really had a chance to even get going!
I would be happy to see Ronnie take on the mantle of squad leader, being, I think, the most experienced of those of us who are left. That is if he would want to do it, of course and if no-one else wants to come forward and give it a go.
I am going to miss Richy and Lou greatly. I liked them both very much and am still quite upset that the situation turned out as it did !

Jack, I would also like to thank you greatly for not getting too annoyed with us for hijacking (no pun intended) the Jolly Roger while our squad is locked down ! That is very much appreciated and could you please make sure everyone has at least a couple of rounds on me!

With my very best wishes to you all

Steve aka the yellow belly

Ok, so I'm kind of new, but I have had my problems with rich, me being a jerk and all, but we have gotten better, and were ok. Can I get a complete reason for why he was banned? Also, Ronnie, would you mind giving me his full email?

As squad matters are not usually what we do here, I opened up a new hospital for you guys called the Funny Farm. Feel free to use it for whatever y'all need to get up and going again. It's a gift for you guys, and all I ask is that you guys at least try to stay out of trouble with the mods.

I don't mind you guys hanging out, but I don't want to run everyone else off in the process. Plus, no squad business is on page one. I've just made an exception cause no one has gotten their squad locked up b4... So I feel for you guys.

Drinks are on me, then go check out your new hospital. The rubber walls are extremely bouncy now, unlike those worn out ones back at the Loony Bin. I think you'll like the place.

Thanks, Jack, but I prefer to wait for Biggs or JasonMC signal, saying if one of them accept guarding the keys, paying the bills and cutting the grass of the asylum.

Thanks jack

What about it Jason?
