Per the pleasure police we must open a new thread
Lets all keep this at the top of the OT
I don't want to have to go digging through this God Damn thing to find this thread every time

One nice thing about it being in Events is that it was almost always on top

Welcome to the new home

Here's the link to the new Event thread

Seriously, who was complaining?
We were perfectly happy the way it was
We policed our own thread
Never had any real drama
All got along and welcomed anyone that dropped by
And we got to know each other with our banter all the time keeping the discussion about the event going

Folks just have to dick with stuff that is perfectly fine just for the sake of it

If they are going to force this I would much rather see them start an OT3 and have it broken into states or regions
At least that would make it easier to find this thread

Same with events
They need to be broken into major states and then the others into regions too

Since the Talihina thread only gets a couple of posts a day, can I come in here with you guys and gripe about the absurdity of this whole mess?

I am not giving up on the discussion in site related.

Can I say "bone-headed moderators" without getting brigged?

Sorry about the stitches man.. OUCH..

I just don't get why they are fucking with some of the more positive groups on the site. The BEST solution is very easy but they don't seem to want to hear of it..

Starting to look alot like OMP....  Well, that should get me brigged.. Even if it is the truth..

They got lost trying to find their way here from the event thread.  Or they got mugged on the way over.  OT is a rough neighborhood, you know.

I just had mine grilled with a little olive oil sliced red onions, limes and oranges scattered about.
Salt pepper and a touch of garlic
And grilled pineapple, accompanied with a fresh made mango salsa.
mmmmm.

Last time I was in Tampa, I had the best seared tuna salad and she-crab soup at Rockaway Grill.  The wait at sunset was outrageous, but the food and service were amazing.
