Serious people

[phragle]

Just an observation, over the last year I have met many from here. We all have boating being a common thread, but it seems to go much deeper. almost instantly upon meeting anyone of us, it's like a friendship that has been there for years. Whether it's working on a boat, bar-b-qing, drinking, boating etc.. the camaraderie abounds. we have some incredible knowledge here, but we also have some seriously good people! In the end, this is what makes us different from the other places.

[clayinaustin]

Stop it! I'm getting all teary eyed! :p

[Davidmnc]

Yea.......................cut it out you big lug you!

[phragle]

maybe I didn't phrase that right..it's not teary eyed sentimentalism type statement, it's a raise you glass and let out a drunken hell yeah type of statement.....

[Ted]

Hell yea!!!

[ChiefApache]

Ditto all around what you're saying Rob!!!!!

Never met David in my life yet he got a hug immediately. And he's not the first. :sifone:

[Ratickle]

Hell Yeah and Cheers!!!!!!!:26: :03: :26:

[Gladhe8er]

[Offshoredrillin]

[catastrophe]

[Big Time]

I'm looking forward to meetin' everyone (who I haven't already) down at the worlds. Is there going to be any formal Serious gathering? Then we can all raise a glass and give a hell yeah! If not, we should all pick a date/time/place to meet up.

We'll bring the Cougar Cub down for you to putt around in and do some free advertising for us!

The guy's been obsolete for years. Kinda forgot about him:sifone:

I want to make one thing perfectly clear. There will be no putting in boats by any Serious Offshore member, except in no wake zones.......:sifone:

[Trim'd Up]

Yeah...and there aren't many/any d!ckheads over here!
You haven't met me.:sifone:

[Boss252]

Agree. It really has been fun meeting lots of SOS people, yourself included. And I think that I have done all of those things with you this year.

Thanks again for not puking on my couch. You are good people. :)

We should have another Toledo party after the boats are parked. Seems like we are a good middle ground between the Michigan folks and the East enders.

Bobcat's porch 4:15pm everyday:biggrinjester:

[Trim'd Up]

Bob, you better stock up on beer. ;)

[Bobcat]

blatz light

blatz light

Are you sure we're worthy?

[fund razor]

Are you sure we're worthy?

It's his front porch. Serving Blatz Light makes it's own revenge. :o

[Gladhe8er]

Hey Bobcat, if your porch is closer to the bars than the Galleon, you may find me passed out there when you wake up in the morning...

[Bobcat]

about 1.3 miles, where as the galleon is about 200 yds !:sifone:

[cigdaze]

Without a doubt, we represent the cream of the crop. It's our people, all of you fine folks, that make this a great place to be.

[Dude! Sweet!]

I've met that Dude! Sweet! Guy before. He's a total wang! :sifone:

[Scarab KV]

Was Rob on the Kool-Aid last weekend?

Kidding a side. Looking forward to meeting a lot of new friends. Now if I can just recognize them without their Avs:D

Show off:biggrinjester:

[Buoy]

I have to agree with you Rob.
Every one of the people I've had a chance to meet from here has turned out to be great people. I haven't been let down once.
It's nice to know that at least the people I've met, have lived up to their online persona, or even exceeded it.

[WMF]

oh yes I am :D...lol

I must say if anyone meets Rob(offshoreDrillin) He is a real dick!!:rofl: but he is good at spraying you down with sun block!:kiss: you know I love ya!!!:sifone: Rob!!

[MarylandMark]

I haven't been let down once.

You mean I get to be the 1st? :26:

I'm much more fun in real life than online; esp after the first 10 drinks. What I'm trying to say but more importantly how I am trying to say some thing doesn't always come out correctly on these keyboard things.

Warning if you pass out at Bobcats- recent reports show the backscratchula is alive and well; that is as in alive and moving on it's own very well.

[ChiefApache]

I wasn't the first either, was I? :D

Nope LOL!

No, not the Kool-Aid. But he, David and the Captain all got along well. :)

[Edward R. Cozzi]

I love being at an event and spotting an SOS or OSO t-shirt. I even met Jayboat at the Sunny Isles race and LIKED him!

Great Idea, maybe around the 10/17 most of the boats will be put away and it's a few weeks from the worlds. I suggest we have it at one of the boat clubs, drinks are cheap, and their business will be slowing down and we can probably get them to do a relatively inexpensive dinner for us. Riverview could be a good place. You know me I love setting up a party
:party: :grouphug: :cheers2:

you know we really need a smillie with a wine glass or a Mojito glass, or one of each:biggrinjester:

[fund razor]

That is a pretty good idea, and most of us are AYC members around here. An AYC club would be perfect. One of the Maumee River clubs would be nice that time of year because of the colors.

I agree and I wish I didn't have to get home from Ohio last week so I could have stayed around the Chief and met you guys that showed for the party.
I can't believe I missed that:(
But I had a great time while I was there and next week I hope to be meeting up with the infamous Bouy (Tim) as I will be in the heat of Tuson.
I raise my glass to all:cheers2::cheers2:

[jayboat]

Mutual, Ed. Amazing how that works, ain't it? :sifone:

I always try to introduce myself to anyone I see wearing an OSO shirt (so far, I'm the only person I've seen wearing SOS. :ack2: )

I think what phraggy is talking about with this thread is that even online, forums offer a method of relationship-building (even possible with republicans) because, over time, you can learn a whole lot about a person without ever meeting them face-to-face. When you finally do meet the details are out of the way. :)

This was very evident to me during my recent visit to E-dock. Even though I knew several of the guys already, I felt like I knew all of them the minute I stepped on the dock.

Although I haven't met Tim personally, I have spoken to him a few times and been internet buddies for 5 years?? Wow.

I have not been there yet, but someone was raving about how nice the Maumee Bay Club is and their great view from their upper deck. Have you been there?

[DonziGirl]

I feel the same way with most people I've met. I know a lot of the Donzi.net people from our event every year and consider most of them friends even though I only see them once a year.


There is one person though that I'm just not sure about that I've met from a boating forum. That Tony. Not sure why I'm getting married to him :D

[QUOTE=jayboat;298143]

That's cuz U have not been 2 Michigan!!!:biggrinjester:

riverview, oryc.... both within stumbling distance.... I like that :)

You probably mean Maumee River Yacht Club. I haven't been on that deck, but have been to the club. It is right next to Walbridge park, only a couple miles from my house. My house is closer to the river than it seems.

And they didn't even throw you in Jay :) and heck knows E dockers are definatelty right leaners.

Rob, if I were you, I would NOT admit to knowing him............EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!:seeya:

Ya, ok Tracy. You dog has a SOS shirt and I still don't. I wonder what the rest of the Mods and Admins here are trying to tell me?

[Airpacker]

Yeah...and there aren't many/any d!ckheads over here!

SOS has a superior d!ckhead filter system in its software package :)

[phragle]

AP, you have been sent sos shirts 17 times, its just that they are so in demand that canadian customs keeps stealing them.........

[ChiefApache]

This is one of a few we have!

[Ms PatriYacht]

Barb, that's a really nice picture of the two of you.

Fund that's the club, in the next couple of weeks why don't you and Jann drop in for a drink and see what you think. I am assuming we would want our own area in the bar or a room adjacent. If we got enough people they might even do a steak roast, something like they do at Monroe.

Unfortunately, I can't take you to the same little bar/restaurant that Dude!Sweet! (Sean) and duunoit(Chris) went to that was practically in my backyard. It closed a few weeks ago.

Thanks, that's one of my favorite pics from the summer. It was at Skramer's real 40th BD party (dinner) at his dock.

Keep us posted on what you guys want to do. We'll see if we can get a group from here to head up that way.

[ChiefApache]

Oh sure, rub it in why don't ya :)

LOL! Sorry, I had to. If you invite Sunkin on your boat I'm sure he'll bring you a few. :sifone:
