Mojo - I don't think playing devil's advocate and receiving responses like you had should even be related.  When I started posting, I remember random acts of attack from crazy people and I don't think it had anything to do with what the post was about, being jealous, or any other logical explaination.  The people/persons were crazy, plain and simple. 

I'm glad I could come back here.  It has been nice not having my posts moved or removed and messages from admin that were just plain mean. 
Take time to smell the roses.

On a serious note: I am here because there is NO other place like the Unknown Zone! I love the environment, the people, and the "out of the box" thinking the administration and membership encourage. We get a smack when we deserve it and not before, and recognition from our fellow members and the administration when we deserve that too. Fair and balanced environment. A place to vent, a place to celebrate, and a place to cut up if you feel like it!

If you aren't here you are lost.

I know what you mean. Hash and microwave mac & cheese are a stapel at my house.  :yes:

do you cook that hash into the mac & cheese?  or do you smoke it first?

I started off here for the same reasons that awol did, except for the opposite view of things...I really wanted to understand why people think the way they do....everything for the most part is black and white to me...but, why others have the strong opinons they do, I was baffled,....I have learned to understand why they think the way the do much better, and have become WAY more patient with opposing views...and in the midst of thing, have found a great bunch of people to share with...and vent with...and have some fun with....

I agree, Henry. You do approach most issues from a different angle than I do, but you are such a gentleman about it that it makes it very easy to at least consider your point of view. You and Magistrate are my favorite conservatives of all time!

The comments I posted previously weren't directed at me, but very well could have been, because that's how that person "discusses" with everyone who has a different opinion. He calls himself a conservative, but I think he's something else. :biggrin:

I smoke the  mac & cheese with the hash in it.  :wink: You have to have special rolling papers for it LOL!!! Sometimes it gets a little bit messy.  :yes:

It is funny, though, how this place is a place I visit daily (except when I dont have internet access for one reason or another) and I think about the folks here (in their screen names) quite frequently in other ways.

Aaron goes to SoCal, and I think of Mojo. I think of P-town and I think of Henry. I think of house progress, or I have a strange dream and I think of Palehorse. I've seen a girl around town that makes me think "She looks like vxn."  I see people in the store and I wonder if its people from here that are local...sometimes I even put screen names to their faces, as if its them. Even the ones who don't live close...

Is that weird?

Kim, your long lost sister works in the bar during the days at O'Charleys. I really need to go in there, since the last time I went was a couple of days before I found out my job was ending and it was only after I ate that I realized that Aaron had taken his credit card out of my purse. She comped it cause I was a weekly regular, and I feel bad that I haven't been back. But its kind of hard because I can't very well take the kids to eat in the bar, and its not like its a convenient place to go for lunch now, since I'm 20 miles away...

I love O'Charleys!  Their loaded potato soup is the bomb!  I'll have to go meet her someday!  :biggrin:

I like to play the games when work gets stressful or I can't sleep.
It just feels right

I really appreciate not having posters that are looking for fights.  I'm dealing with a few on the hometown forum and it just isn't a pleasant time.  Thanks for being a mature (and not when it is fun) group of people that can chit chat and make the day go by faster!  :biggrin:
