Other classic you didn't see...

Gazza and I planned to share the hotel room in Hartford (March 1999!!) I arrived since Friday and partied with people from Undercover, then Gazza arrived on Sunday to find that there was only one bed in the hotel room, I freaked out and Gazza told me... don't worry, I don't fuck a guy the first date!  

Ouch!

i don't recall the guys name (not being an RO contributor, at the time)
but there was someone on here, who insisted Mick Jagger
treated Jacob Cohl, 'like his son', and was a big-hitter in the RS 'machine'.

you made a grown man cry


Again a tribute to jb and Pug who referred to "young Jacob Cohl (Mick treats him like a son"

This thread is making me laugh out loud!!!!!!!!!!

No one has yet to mention the infamous "Drinking Threads". I believe I maintained the most posts by a female RO'er!!  Let's go get drunk

lest we forget the classic meltdowns....feel free to post them, someone, if they were saved.

fleabit's "fuck you nazis" and anything related to across the street immediately comes to mind!

gypsy's stalking was funny if a) she wasn't stalking you, and b) you weren't an admin

lambie talking about how terrible fleabit was in the sack

could someone please post SS's "the stones have sold out" farewell post? or at the very least his "we're playing at the carrot festival in the cowachella valley" post?

strange thing is, i can't think of any newb meltdowns at RO, unlike pavlov's meltdown over at Lew's.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THE NICK NOLTE THING ABOUT??? The pictures, the references, etc???? Is there a connection with Joey?" Nolte - The Rocks Off patron saint

That would be my doing!

I saw that mugshot way back when and I fell apart.

When Nolte got busted, he was driving all over the road and the cop stopped him and arrested him.
Apparently he was drooling all over himself - turns out, not only was he drunk but he also had a date rape drug (gbh??) in him.  So the dude was planning on slipping someone a mickey and got the ol' switcharoo pulled on him.

Anyway, the picture is worth a million words and so "pulling a Nolte" became the thing around here.




I mean seriously -- look at that pic again!!
The shirt
The hair
The frown

Nolte - The Rocks Off patron saint


FYI - http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/nnolte1.html




Thanks, nankerphelge,  Nolte - The Rocks Off patron saint  suddenly became MUCH more funny....


And what about "LJ and the inflatable sheep", where does that connection come in????Or is it too personal and should I be back-channelling you about it, LJ??? Smiley

And what were those weird picture posts of Joey's about??? They ususally contained pictures of Golda Meier, Ben Gurion, a flag of Israel, and then, totally without reason, an underwater picture of a gigantic sea jellyfish that looked exactly like a big circumcised dickhead. It totally cracked me up every time I saw it, was that the point, or is there some hidden philosophical meaning????

And I promise not to ask any more newbie questions.....for now...

PDM: I'm a chocoholic, but don't think I'd eat that, it looks exactly like donkey shit....

Voodoo: I think that a drunk postmaster who bans and then drunkenly forgets how to unban himself has got to be a pretty unique feature, exclusive to RO....

I still have one unopened. Next time!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully you will be able to sign her JO!!!!

I think my very first online friend was Sir Stonesalot.   Of course, there was the Fleabit Peanut Monkey (FPM, hey, you're still missed).   There was AZQB (where are you, girl).   Maxmeister, 2000 Man and of course, Lew, the "Chairman of the board".   There was Maxlugar, and the Storm (I think).  There was the Jimmy Whitley and Syph, and Ginda.

Really Good Friends.   The early days were so cool.

"petard"
What the hell does that word mean?


A petard was a medieval IED or explosive mine.  The wight who set it and didn't run was "hoist" in the air by his own bomb.  It's a French word, and the "-tard" may refer to a "delayed" explosion.

I remember a good period on this board was when The Stones were about to have their Licks tour conference and it was like just under a week until this. There were rumors of the blimp here on the board and I thought ..."lol, no way". Then later actual pictures of this blimp in a hanger were posted here and we were very excited and taken back by the site of it.

Also nobody knew what exactly their hits compilation would include for this tour but that it would include newly recorded tunes that were brand new from them. We were excited as well as inquisitive about that.

It was May of 02 and there was a good vibe, and buzz in the air. The board had an excitement at this time.

This is my fondest memory of this board thus far.

As I recall JB was awful curious about anal sex. Maybe a serious anal sex thread would bring him back.


Not sure curiosity is what I'd call it.  But then again, I'm not a hot Asian either.

Let's see . . .

When bloozehound showed up he got brutally hazed in a thread about that "School of Rock" movie.
The saga of the tarps climaxed in a Michael Cohl approved theory that they would eventually sell "behind tarp" seating.
The SS leaves thread was about as classic a Hindenburg moment as I can remember on the board - really a bridge burning scorched earth gaffe from a once-great poster . . . although it did lead to the briefly popular concept of "Stoneaholism".

And then there was "Stoneszac" . . .

Gonna take this thread to a serious note, but it's worth mentioning.

One of the GREATEST things about RO is that we are like a little family.
And family does pull together when times get rough.

I know that I used RO as my diary when my Mom was dying.
Where else could I express all my thoughts 24-7 and have people genuinely care?
I'll never forget the love and support I received from RO during my darkest time.

Thank you all.

And the Birthday Threads are always nice too.
Makes ya feel special to know that people all over the world wish you well.

"petard"
What the hell does that word mean?

From Dictionary.com:

Word History: The French used pétard, "a loud discharge of intestinal gas," for a kind of infernal engine for blasting through the gates of a city. "To be hoist by one's own petard," a now proverbial phrase apparently originating with Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1604) not long after the word entered English (around 1598), means "to blow oneself up with one's own bomb, be undone by one's own devices." The French noun pet, "fart," developed regularly from the Latin noun pēditum, from the Indo-European root *pezd-, "fart."

1598, "small bomb used to blow in doors and breech walls," from Fr. pétard (1580), from M.Fr. péter "break wind," from O.Fr. pet "a fart," from L. peditum, properly neut. pp. of pedere "to break wind" (in M.L. pettus). Surviving in phrase hoist with one's own petard (or some variant) "blown up with one's own bomb," which is ult. from Shakespeare (1605):

"For tis the sport to haue the enginer Hoist with his owne petar" ("Hamlet" III.iv.207).

I remember reading an interview where Keith talked about "Honky Tonk woman." He said Charlie messed up and came in at the wrong beat. Keith then did the same thing. He came in at the wrong beat. But it all ended up sounding right. He said, "it's something musicologists can analyze for the next thousand years and they will never understand it."

RO is sorta the same thing. Everyone's so wrong and different, but it all ends up working out and feeling right, ya know? Send a psychologist in here and he wouldn't know where to start. He'd be stumped.
