Let's go drinking Ben.
But seriously, you've only been thrown out of a bar once? Admittedly it's been a good ten years since my last bar toss,... but once? Come to think of it, I think I've been thrown out of the same bar twice in one day!
40 replies and nobody's thrown the gauntlet,...that's good!

Only once hehe, I was thrown out of a bar at Mountain Charlies once in downtown Los Gatos if anyone knows the place, when I walked in with an open beer can

technically not "thrown" but escorted but thrown sounds more exciting !

I raised this issue in January when Coochas was praising you for "do an f'ing search". However, the suggestion for brainstorming was lost in the noise and never discussed. Hope you find time to follow through with your idea. I'm certain it will be useful to new and veteran rennlisters.

Default cmon people.......

this was a 7 day ban, not a deportation, or a felony conviction....

this is starting to sound a bit gay...he he

I damn near got banned from another forum while I was away and were on here begging the moderator not to even call it a ban....

Is this like a felony on our record?

Well lets see, in my past....

Ive been kicked out of my house
Ive been kicked out of my girls house
Ive been suspended from school
Ive been denied jobs
Ive been questioned by the police
been banned from my local poker house for dealer abuse
kicked out of a corner store when I was little for stealing a Snickers bar....


I cant say this has brought me the same level of embarrasment...

do Ben and I go into some Rennlist folklore as the only guys obnoxious enough to ever have been kick off?

If so, Im proud to be apart of such a rare history!
Perhaps you all are right though...

Me and Ben will forever be like OJ, golfing murderers everone points fingers at...

Man I read his comeback speech and thought to myself...Uh, Oh...this can't be good...

My speech is in the works, being proofread by my political strategist but I doubt it can be that good, therefore, it may be a concession speech....

Bill and Hillary are contemplating running together on a ticket in '08, if he can get past the "I never had sexual relations with that woman...", we can get past a 7 day leave...ya think?

Getting banned is cool now that Ben got banned. Hey, if you don't get banned, you ain't cool.

LG? Ahhh, those were the days. I've been thrown out of Houlihan's for partially choking an *** head into unconsciousness.

I've was permanently banned from Margaritaville for eating off of some elses plate... at another table... who did not know me... booze'll do that.

And, I've been thrown off of TWO major ski resorts, years apart, for dropping off the chair lift... in the middle. Both times the ski cops only caught up to me in the parking lot ( I knew that they were after me ).

as far as being banned i was a site mod and was completely deleted from the history of the site along with every post i made.
in five years the site had only permanently banned about 25 people, and one of those included a guy the was pretending to be me.
registered as icons with an s and tried to make people think he was me
and would go around offending people with his posts.
i got him banned pretty quick though and found out who it was.
but i was the only one in the history of the site to be completely deleted from existence!
an announcement was made as well that i was not be be a subject of any posts!
the admin thought i was taking over has site!

but you guys talking about bad things you've done in the past, i
dont see where anyone said how much jail time they had done?
bar fights won/loss record?
in my younger days my wifes younger brother made for good bar hopping company in case of trouble.
the most popular bar had this huge mean looking bouncer that had one time tried to remove my bro in law (bill) from the premises.
bill took him out with one punch and the guy never gave him a bit of trouble after that.

Didn't you read the other thread?... I've arranged for B/T & OCBen to run sheep for me this summer across the mountains. It will be 'hard' work and should help put the two of them 'together.' Most folks call the work a 'pain in the ***' but I think it'll make men out of them.
They can argue about the 911 vs the Cayman and proudly say,... "Cayman my ***."
