What's up with this and why does VG's old nick have the huge block logo. Have I missed something around here that'd merit that?

I had to register a new nickname because when I went to post my annual list under my old nickname, it just wouldn't post. If the administration wanted to censor and/or slap my wrists it might have been a delightfully tasteless remark I made about Gretzky's Mama kicking the bucket and how Wayne would save some bucks on future Xmas presents. In any event, whatever the reason, I have indeed posted my annual list under my new nickname and all I have to add is that I'm even more astounded about the continued and utterly moronic over-reaction to the snore-fest of the year, Bareback Mountain. Give me Andy Warhol's Lonesome Cowboys any day.

That blows

For what it's worth I believe that it just puts your post in limbo till it can be approved by a mod.

Regarding the statement honestly I didn't find it really off. It was a public news story on all the major networks. Wasn't like it went after anybody personally in the bowl. Was quite funny on a saterical level of the obsession we have with not only the celebrity industry but also exteneding to our collective obsession with their personal lives.

I've actually been pondering a conspiracy theory that Grezky's mom and grandmother were knocked off by the mafia over gambling debts (seriously not joking) and I'm wondering now if that would be over the line if I posted it

Really? Well, that's a bit annoying. I totally buy your conspiracy theory - especially in light of recent events. As for any of my comments that may have offended, I also recall telling some depressed poster that she should turn to booze and drug abuse to solve her multitude of domestic problems. Who knows what offends in these days of political correctness - which, by the way probably accounts for the overwhelmingly idiotic Hossanahs for Bareback Mountain. Gay cowboys should be having fun. They shouldn't be all self important and morose.

Things get weirder and weirder. For some reason it still shows me as the last poster in this thread on the front page otherwise I would have posted sooner.

Regarding the booze and drugs like I musta missed that one. Well sometimes it is tricky to tell who'll take a tongue in cheek remark the wrong way.

Bareback Mountain....I'm not sure on this one...It looks like a big pile of plodding crap however it's pissing off the moral conservative establishment so much I can't help but have some affection for it - even if I'll never see it lol.
