Oh man--we have a major train derailment going on here. Who doesn't like a good train crash! Remember the Adams Family show and how Gomez would arrange his trains to crash? Case in point.  LOL 

 

Actually Gomez blew them up just before they went head on.

Do you guys have any links to that story?  I've been searching but any search that includes "hobby lobby", or "hobbylobby" returns page after page of political stories.  I also searched on "hobby town", since you mentioned that chain, but still couldn't find anything.

 

The Baron,

I don't believe that the incident happened at a Hobby Town, Bakster was just refering to the gentleman as "Hobby Town guy". He said it happened in a public place, not naming anything specific location.

I’ll bet ya this eventually years into the future will come back as a zombie  thread LOL.

.....the last person to post on a thread, and have no one reply after. This happens to me, I call myself "a thread killer" ....

 

 

Me too! I can't believe you said that. I've been calling myself a "thread killer" for at least a decade, and I thought I invented the term.

Cool to hear you and Steve have thought the same. Small world.

And yes, Stevie, I am an old grump. Scary story from Hobby Lobby. And in civilized Wisconsin no less. Geez.

 

I think it happened to someone from Hobby Lobby, not at Hobby Lobby... 

this thread has taken on an Energizer Bunny life...

Thanks, I tried that, too, but even searching on "hobbytown" and "wisconsin" hasn't returned yet any stories for it.   I'll keep looking...

I messed up, Steve said it happened at HobbyTown. By the time I replied, my fragile memory turned it into Hobbylobby. Sorry!

Well gentlemen, all three of you failed to kill this thread! LOL!

That's a clever observation, Bruce!

Yeah it was pretty scary to see the damage done. HobbyTown Man claimed to retort with a punch into the guys chest that sent him to the ground. I have a sense that there was much more to this story that I was not being told...

...Wonder how he would feel if he was the last person to post on a thread, and have no one reply after. This happens to me, I call myself "a thread killer"...

You just made me think of Bad Luck Schleprock, from the "Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm Show" in the 70s.  He'd show up, and all of a sudden, the party was over.

I am not sure it's all that civilized in WI. Lots of problems here, and one best be careful, or one might get capped. A number of road rage incidents ended in gunfire.

Foiled again! Well--there is still hope that it's been derailed. :)

I have a knack for killing threads, too.  Maybe my reply will finally put it down.  

Irony of ironies, I accidentally clicked the "subsribe" button for this thread.

    I agree it is ironic that the OP is now getting more repies than he probably ever expected.

      Wonder how he would feel if he was the last person to post on a thread, and have no one reply after. This happens to me, I call myself "a thread killer" but I also understand that maybe my comment finished the topic or was so far out that no one new how to reply.

    I try to respect everyone here, we all have active, busy lives so looking for someone to give you feedback on as stated ambiguous at best questions well.... sounds kinda immature to me.

   No hard feelings OP, hate me if it makes you feel better, I personally will continue to enjoy the forums and contribute if I can,  or hijack a thread for fun.

Sorry, I woke up grumpy today.

You old Grump!  LOL.

To quote Rambo that quoted Von Mensteins Revenge..., " All you mugs need to get back to building." Ha!

Sorry--I woke up feisty! I was at the bench until 12:30 last night. I finally dozed off at around 2:00am. Work is really getting in the way of my fun.

Since the OP went bye bye-- here is a story that has nothing to do with this thread: 

Over lunch yesterday I went into my local Hobbytown to get some paint. I asked one of the employees for some advice, and inevitably the conversation turned to how his day was going, cuz I asked that. He tells me a ghastly story.

The short of it is that he was in a public location where he heard a guy talking smack to a girl. HobbyTown guy mumbled some comment about how he was treating her, turns to face the offender, gets coldcocked square in the mouth. At this, HobbyTown guy shows me a big grin revealing mostly gums. He lost at min 6 teeth. All the front upper and lower teeth are gone. I was stunned.

And how is your day...

No. As Strother Martin said in 'Cool Hand Luke,' "You need to get your mind right..

"What we've got here... is a failure to communicate." 

:)

The real irony here to me is that while the OP complains about recieving no or inadequate responses and everyone (including me) is commenting on that, nobody is commenting on the fact that 3 of us DID respond and WE got no reply from the OP.

Sorry, I woke up grumpy today.

I need a hug...

On another note, is anyone enjoying the irony of a thread complaining about lack of responses being the most replied to for this member?

I was just thinking that..........indeed I am.......

What I like about this forum is we have no postwhores, no one posts on a thread to just increase their thread count. 

 

 

 

 

 

At least not anymore... there have been in the past.

 

Yes

Hi Y'all !

 I read this with some interest . I feel for the guy in that he's so frustrated .I read posts .If I don't know the product or whatever , I don't reply . This is because I know where my interests lie and my comments may come across as officious .

 Other than that if the post covers an area in any of the modeling Genre that I have done , or been involved in I will comment IF I think it will help .Otherwise I shut up and read only . T.B.

I gotta agree with you all, you can't move into a new neighborhood and expect to make friends your first week there. These things do take time and if you don't have the patience or time to invest in that, then i kind of wonder why you are in this hobby.

Stephen

My attitude changed when some say that they did reply to his posts. That, along with the nature of his posts left many compelled not to respond. They had no knowledge to impart. Then you throw in a broken website... I don't see a different outcome.

I don't know... maybe he was having a really bad day. It happens. It's too bad, mostly for him. He is losing out on a great resource on many levels.

Hello!

I don't mean to be mean here, but what the OP actually wrote, after some fact checking reads to me this way:

"People I quit because I don't like every single one of you. I posted two new threads on here and I got absolutely no answers that I read. Good bye!"

Somehow I can't get myself to feel sorry here. Have a nice day!
