Re: tOfficial Bob misses Goose thread aka Come Back Goose thread

[Trapper Gus]

Goose says the House Votes are great
No Speaker means no more debate
Oh noes
Congress closed
All power reverts to the state

[Robert J Sakimano]

good Monday morning.. we get to celebrate the start of a new page of our thread paying homage to our friend, Guest.

I hope he's enjoying his new year, his comfy recliner, the Mio Diner, and the mainstream media narrative that provides him a steady diet of emotional sustenance. It's my hope for the new year that he's able to enjoy life outside the political and media bubble he surrounds himself with.

Hey Guest.. we know you're reading.. hope you're doing well, my dude.

behold.. the ManiGuesto:

Greetings my Swill friends.

lol, this is close in a couple ways but wildly askew in others. I get up and check my email, answer any important ones. Cook breakfast which always includes eggs unless the grandkids are here - then they usually request pancakes or waffles. Coffee sets my AFib off so I drink one cup a week, I've missed my morning pot badly for 10 years now. Then I read my 3 newspaper sites (News, Freep, MLive), various message boards and couple of news aggregators. After that there's some daily variation depending on season and plans.
The not even close parts: I've logged into Twitter once since April - to say thanks to Lynn Henning. He and I shared many lively debates over the years as old farm kids, baseball and outdoors nuts and across a liberal/conservative divide. Somehow we never called each other names and remain friends.
The BS part is BS on your part. You and 90%+ of the Swill are raging liberals that consider yourselves purveyors of facts as you swallow the Covington, Smollett and other bullshit news whole as you blithely call any site you disagree with "propaganda" - how's the collusion propaganda going? Because you have a huge majority on the Swill you mistake that as being a reflection of America as a whole. You ignore the fact that Trump won, and is favored to win again by the people that are most accurate - the books. You are NOT reflective of America, most are more conservative than you and more liberal than me. I'm aware of that, most of you aren't.
If you think I'm blinded take a few, step back and think about the political leanings of those that have been driven from or simply chose to leave the board. There's a pattern in how people with opposing viewpoints are treated here.
Also I did NOT come post political content on the Swill - if I was posting political content it was in the Bin. That's the double standard that irked me most. The board doesn't need to be that way if people choose to respect boundaries. One of my other message boards started as a Tigers board but now has every sport covered and a massively active political section - the crossover is virtually zero. Why? Because people keep things separate and in the rare times it's needed the mods actually enforce it. And honestly that place is just as wildly liberal as the Swill - I guess most conservatives have better things to do than message boarding. At the Swill none of the mods could/would see it because it all agreed with their worldview. So I left, life goes on, yours and mine.
I'm not pissed at anyone, I'm just unwilling to be randomly abused because my political views are different than most of you. I've had those same views since before many of you were born, Trump has nothing to do with it and I don't spend 85% of my life obsessing over the orange man as many of you seem to. And by that I mean getting fucking offended by a headline because it comes from a source you don't approve of.
The Swill is eventually doomed anyway, the 2 people with the keys to the place are rarely there and essentially don't give a flying fuck except to say it's "their" board. Maybe there's some hope that tRCMB will implode someday and he can cash in, hell if I know.
Since Martin mentioned he liked the Mio thread, Ellie's 12 Tables is in this story - I've been flogging this diner for a while on the Swill. They won the voting for the best diner in northern Michigan. The question is how will they fare in the final standings. (Owned and operated by 2 members of our local LGBT community as are 2 other local eateries, amazing for those of you that think everywhere outside your little bubble is bigoted especially in a county that voted 70% Trump)

For my friend Bobby Sak: A new sport he needs to consider - combining his love of biking and snow.

For my friend Wakie: Happy Birthday and the CitiDouble Cash is a great card, it's my go to.
In closing I'm not going to lie and say I don't miss the place but in the end the shit there just wasn't worth it to me. I can get my Spartan fix at tRCMB and my Tigers fix at Motown Sports so I'm good. Have fun and enjoy yourself,

Goose aka "Guest" ;-)

PS - how's that for book length?  

bump.

[Robert J Sakimano]

It's Tuesday at the Mio Diner
the day Guest decides to leave his recliner
for a deep-fried butter dish
cigarette-encrusted, it's so delish
in Mio, heart disease is very minor

[Robert J Sakimano]

deep-fried Snickers have a good taste
when they're the special, Miovians arrive with great haste
the consumption of them is quite quick
often leaves them feeling a little sick
let's not discuss the size of their waist

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is proudly anti-abortion
however, he was a fan of mental contortion
a strong advocate of the death penalty
the opposite of 'pro-life', fundamentally
I guess being born black and poor is just their misfortune

[Robert J Sakimano]

the bible is Guest's favorite book
he reads it every morning in his breakfast nook
it tells him to hate women, gays, browns and blacks
puts him on the verge of many heart attacks
Ethel is his favorite Mio Diner cook

[Trapper Gus]

Now Goose has his heart all a flutter
His insides are warm like melted butter
Top secrets at home
Not Trump's alone
Main Stream Media publishes smutter

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a guy named Guest
who protected his gas stove with zest
clenching his assault rifle
a government attempt to take it, he'd stifle
with the mainstream media, he's obsessed

[Robert J Sakimano]

Ethel at the diner smokes cigs by the pack
in fact, she's working on her 11th heart attack
a patriotic christian with a strong love of freedom
regularly traveling to the Noahs Ark museum
she eats 3,700 calories as a bedtime snack

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is cozied up in his comfy recliner
watching the 'news', he becomes even a bigger whiner
he misses his favorite christian hero
his tolerance for differing opinions is zero
he enjoys butter-fried Cheez-Its at the Mio Diner

[Robert J Sakimano]

Mio is a community of loving, godly people
they regularly collect 'neath the church steeple
if you're really, really white
you'll fit in just right
everyone else, they deem 'illegal'

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is suddenly concerned with corruption
even though his christian hero was a scandal eruption
he's very worried about Joe Biden
and what kind of documents he was hidin'
the mainstream media is giving him a big production

[Trapper Gus]

To write a limerick, you must have a stanza of 5 lines. The first, second and fifth line are rhyme with each other. While the third and fourth line rhyme with each other. You also need to consider the syllables on each line. The first, second and fifth line all have between 8 to 9 syllables. And the third and fourth line have between 5 to 6 syllables.

Goose knowns Biden secrets were sold (8)
Trump would not be so gosh darn bold (8)
Trump did not ever lie (6)
Biden did why ask why (6)
But it's a sad story all told (8)

[Robert J Sakimano]

Ya think the christians honor MLK, Jr. in Mio today or was he just another woke libtard?

[Trapper Gus]

When Martin said I have a dream
Color blind was what it would seem
he said at someday
Goose heard it no way
All in Mio think it is keen

[Robert J Sakimano]

they will never take Guest's gas stove
like they did the big truck he drove
along with his bibles and guns
liberals took them, he misses them tons
he finds the 'news' an informational trove

[Trapper Gus]

On Appolo they almost died
From the gas that they had inside
does Goose care that much
gas stove at his lunch
at the diner it's all deep fried

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest clenches tightly to his stove of gas
whimpering, he hopes 'this, too, shall pass'
mean 'ol liberals keep taking away his stuff
they took his guns, bibles.. when will it be enough?
the mainstream media keeps him on edge, alas

[Trapper Gus]

Repubs refuse to pay debts so sad
the guns they have bought makes them so mad
Biden says no go
McCarthy can blow
while Goose thinks Hunter is a bad cad

[Robert J Sakimano]

it is true, I have written many a-poem
in honor of Guest, I was lucky to know him
apparently it annoys some people
mainly those who worship 'neath the lord's steeple
I miss my friend and this is how I show him

[Trapper Gus]

A poem can be gentle fun
Of one who is loved like a son
Bob does his best
To honor Guest
He's efforts don't please everyone

[Robert J Sakimano]

Deep-fried Cheetos is today's Mio Diner special
god-lovin' patriots use the diner as their vessel
conversations about the 'news' and the election
how Antifa is responsible for the deadly insurrection
with their mainstream media facts, they do wrestle

[Robert J Sakimano]

A poem can be gentle fun
Of one who is loved like a son
Bob does his best
To honor Guest
He's efforts don't please everyone

writing poems is kinda like parenting. If everyone is happy all the time, you're doing something wrong.

I often see a metaphor
Of Bob's life from before
Guns and religion
His family did em
Goose is a stand in no more

[Robert J Sakimano]

a sip of coffee in a cloud of smoke
at the Mio Diner, whining about the "woke"
things like equity and inclusion
lead to great confusion
the patriotic christians are finicky folk

[Trapper Gus]

All the tourists white as clean sheets
Not one Mike Pence did they meets
they poo pooed the walls
In all of the halls
Then off to Trump's meet and greets

[Robert J Sakimano]

a threat to national security is Mike Pence
as a good christian, this doesn't make sense
he always tells the truth
Guest's christian hero loves the female youth
and his love of the mainstream media is immense

[Robert J Sakimano]

it's a quiet winter day in Mio
about 250 miles north of Ohio
our friend Guest is likely in his recliner
after a trip to the Mio Diner
I'm still sad that he had to say bye-o.

[Trapper Gus]

An AG once had a yearning
To keep his friend Trump from burning
He looked everywhere
Evidence was spare
More showing Trump had been churning

[Robert J Sakimano]

even on mornings that are cold
living in Mio never gets old
little while children frolic in the street
a blessing from god, and everyone they meet
in their worship of Him, they are bold

[Robert J Sakimano]

Cheeto-encrusted fried chicken
the Mio Diner staff is busy in the kitchen
crunching up bags of Cheetos
to honor their orange christian hero
he is the object of their religion

[Trapper Gus]

In Lansing voting is high gear
Its Blue in the House without fear
Goose is very sad
He's getting quite mad
That taxes are dropping this year

[Trapper Gus]

A balloon floated high overhead
Joe is too weak to shoot they all said
He pulled the trigger
They shouted bigger
It is down in the ocean all dead

[Robert J Sakimano]

the Super Bowl was way too woke
strong emotions, too many black people evoke
from pregame, to halftime, to black folks on the field
fragile eyes needed a shield
it was way too much for the Mio folk

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a person named Guest
who lived life with great zest
days at the Mio Diner
then back home to his recliner
his tolerance for different opinions, you better not test

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is not afraid of the deadly virus
his favorite musician is Billy Ray Cyrus
days spent at the Mio Diner
and smoking cigarettes from his comfy recliner
watching the mainstream media attempt to inspire us

[Trapper Gus]

Way too bad that Goose has moved on
While Trump engaged in the great con
What's left to be said
Trump's wetting the bed
And in Mio all like his bon-bon

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
who loved christianity the best
he was afraid of black and brown people
he worshipped 'neath the church steeple
the white folks of Mio are blessed

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is from the county of Oscoda
he loves to sip grape soda
at a booth in the Mio Diner
and from his cozy recliner
he isn't afraid of the virus de corona

[Trapper Gus]

there once was a poster named Guest
who loved christianity the best
he was afraid of black and brown people
he worshipped 'neath the church steeple
the white folks of Mio are blessed

Sorry Bob but reading the "Religion" thread came across this quote from Guest, enjoy...

Am religious in the sense I believe there is a God.   Haven't been to a church service in 20+ years.   Despise almost all organized religion that I've been in contact with.   Churches are full of hypocrites and I can't stand hypocrisy.  "Professional" Christians - Pastors, Youth Pastors, Evangelists, etc, etc make me ill.   I imagine there are some good churches out there, I never found one and now don't feel the need to bother looking.
