Re: Big Pipes Poll -- Hopefully -- a final positive word.
>There you go with the "dork" again. Michael, that is so childish.
No,Michael -- I do not speak for the board. Henceforth (that means from this moment forward, Michael) -- I will make this first person.
Again, you did not answer MY question, Michael. You hate Vegas radio. Grant it, there are parts that disturb me as well. You hate Las Vegas in general. Michael, there are 49 other states you can live in. You just sound so bitter. 'Tis sad.
I just want to see if there is a "positive" side of Michael.
Now, since you are having trouble reading and understanding -- I will ask again -- slower. What is it you like, Michael? Do you enjoy retirement watching Regis & Kelly? Do you enjoy retirement listening to old air-check tapes (on reel to reel, I'm sure) of yourself, and going, "Boy, I was good."
You see, many people on here complain, Michael. But, looking back -- many bring up positive, even funny comments. You do not seem positive about anything, Michael.
I better stop. I am sounding like Dr. Phil.
See, Michael. That was humor. That was positive. No "dork". No "fool". No "bitterness".
Kumbaya, Michael.
And now you speak for everyone? Wow! Get a life Dork
