I understand why he was banned, but holy shit some of his threads were funny. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dalovindj \* > \*\*Perhaps he will be back. Maybe he’ll make a time machine out of a sit-n-spin attached to a lawn mower engine with rockets. The spinning reverses time, he comes back, gets the girl, and never gets banned. . . but will he destroy the Ice Palace in the process? Let’s just hope he never sees any old Frankenstein movies. > > OK, not really nice since he can no longer defend himself. I’ll stop, but I’m getting an idea for a thread along the lines of “If the wacky laws of physics in bad movies were true then \_\_\_\_\_\_\_”.

Now, that I have been reinstated I am going to try to earn the respect of the board members by thinking before I post. So it is a new day and from now on my questions will be better thought out. ---

Good luck to you. Don’t forget to listen after you ask the questions. The only purpose a question serves is to get new information. The information does you no good if you just ignore it. Tons of smart people here, most times you should consider what they have to say. It’s made me smarter. Or at least increased my trivia knowledge. DaLovin’ Dj ---
