Wow, these are some long posts! Lost me about 10 posts up!

On that note, I will now grace you with a song that one of my dear old football coaches used to grace us with when we were stuck in the car with him during driver's ed.  It was a capella.  Thankfully, he did not bring along any backup instrumentation.







I shall also provide you with the lyrics, as they seem so appropriate in these times of trials and tribulations!

BUTTER BEANS(Charles D. Colvin - To the tune of "Just A Closer Walk With Thee)Little Jimmy Dickens - 1965Also recorded by: Johnny Russell; Papa Joe Smiddy."Just a bowl of butter beansPass the cornbread if you pleaseI don't want no collard greensAll I want is a bowl of butter beansJust a piece of country hamPass the butter and the jamPass the biscuits if you pleaseAnd some more o' them good ol' butter beansRed eye gravy is all rightTurnip sandwich a delightBut my children all still screamFor another bowl of butter beansSome folks think that cornpone's bestSome likes grits more than the restBut if I was a man of meansI'd just want them good ol' butter beansSee that lady over thereWith the curlers in her hairShe's not pregnant as she seemsShe's just full o' them good ol' butter beansSee that big, fat, ugly ladHe's made everybody madThey don't love him, by no meansHe's the hog that ate the last of the butter beansWhen they lay my bones to restPlace no roses upon my chestPlant no blooming evergreensAll I want is' a bowl of butter beansJust a bowl of butter beansPass the cornbread if you pleaseI don't want no collard greensAll I want is a bowl of butter beans"

Monarch, my buddy, my pal, I love your contributions to Horn Sports.  Sorry if our polite suggestions offended you in anyway.  Our suggestions to your formatting was to help US read your posts.  You have lots of passion and valuable words to share but sometimes, it's just plain hard to read.  Personally, your writing style is fine with me, it's just the centering that needed correcting.  Easy one push of button, easily fixed, we can all read your valuable words, and banter back and forth. That's all.  For example, on OB, I received lots of crap for my enlarged signature pic.  I felt terrible it caused slow content downloads, so I deleted it.  I wasn't annoyed or angry with the feedback.  I was glad they told me because I didn't want my posts to cause headaches.  

Personally, I was hoping this thread would be buried and forgotten because yes, I was quite offended, but I don't hold grudges to anyone that hurts my feeling through the interwebs because that's just silly.  I liked your comment because I could finally read the post.  It wasn't centered.  And I don't have ADD, just trying to make fun of myself because I wished I had the patience to read your posts.  

I hope we're good Monarch.   :wub:

i find it amazing that POLITE suggestions have never offended me beforehand.  i wonder just what is so very significant about this particular forum / website?  so now, everyone of these wonderful HS grammatical scholars have been offering "polite" suggestions.... ok!

Paging Bevo Blake!!!

I don't know about you, but I am done with reasoning with Monarch.  It has been politely explained why his post was hard to read, but he is angry and he doesn't care.

Time to move on from the subject.

But as far as your posts, SFG, don't stop with your style.  One of the things that I enjoy about this blog is posters can open up about the humanity parts of their lives without the fear of being blasted or ridiculed.  A trait that is so predominate in other blogs - by unhappy and colossal ass holes.

You have the unique ability to talk about your life and about things we all have either experienced or would like to experience.  Sure, we are interested in your private life - at least those things that don't expose you to danger or stalking.  You've admitted you have a BF and most of us have admitted we have wives - why is that some kind of an issue for some people?  I loved the details of your world wide vacation and I would love to hear and see other peoples vacations as well.  In fact, this might be a great thread topic - summer is coming to a close.

No, young lady, you keep on keeping on.  You've done good.

And as far as the other ladies, that monitor this site but are shy about expressing their opinions - come on out.  There are Texas gentlemen on this board and we have your backs.

Doc, I re-read your post twice, and I cannot find one word, thought, or remote implication that I do not wholeheartedly second and support!  Well said!

Thanks, doc.

You expressed eloquently many things that I have wanted to say.  I appreciate it.  Thank you.

I think Charlie Strong's core values would be appropriate here, but should be expanded to include:  Respect All Members of the Community.

Hook 'em!

Ha!  I don'r know where you find this kind of stuff, but it's pretty funny.  And I'm sure you meant well.
