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

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest loves his christian hero
his tolerance for dissent is zero
they hate all the same people
gathering 'neath the church steeple
he always sits in the front row

[Robert J Sakimano]

yay - just in time for the New Year, we get to start a new page.. paying homage to our friend Guest.

Guest, I know you're reading - hope you're doing well. We miss you at the board. Happy 2024 - remember to get outside some if you can. It's a wonderful world if you can disconnect from the politics, the mainstream media and, yes, even church - though I know it means a lot to you.

with no further adieu, here is Guest's completely rational thoughts bestowed upon us.. his manifesto - 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?  

Happy New Year, Guest!

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a person named Goose
to the insurrection they brought a noose
they wanted to kill Mike Pence
which doesn't make a lot of sense
they're 'pro-life' and their insistence on it, profuse

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guess who showed up on Capitol Hill
providing the truth-seeking, patriotic GOP a thrill
in walked Hunter Biden
not a thing did he seem to be hidin'
suddenly the truth-seeking patriots got real still

[Trapper Gus]

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
Mio was his cozy nest
he would eat at the diner
then sit in his recliner
watching the 'news' with zest

[Robert J Sakimano]

our friend Guest is getting some snow
luckily, he has nowhere to go
resting in his cozy recliner
dreaming of the Mio Diner
that is where deep-fried goodness does flow

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
whose days were filled with zest
time spent in rage on tSwill board
he left on his own accord
I hope he is a lot less stressed

[Trapper Gus]

As the world turns Bob is always on time
With a gentle quip or a fine rhythm
Goose is always
On his byways
Tipping Ethal at the diner a dime

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is outraged by Taylor Swift
for most, her presence would be a gift
she's a female watching a game
it drives insecure, fragile men insane
women and young girls, MAGA cannot uplift

[Robert J Sakimano]

today's special at the Mio Diner
appeals directly to the republican whiner
deep-fried Marlboro's that are anti-woke
lard-encrusted goodness with every smoke
then back to home and their stained recliner

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest lives in the bustling town of Mio
it's a couple of hours north of Ohio
filled with lots of white people
life revolves around the church steeple
they receive orders from a man in the sky-o

[Trapper Gus]

It's the diner on Saturday morning
Where black coffee and hot cakes are warming
Guests io his stool
Playing the fool
Mabel in the back working with corning

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is sad about the Super Bowl
it rocked him to his very soul
from it being rigged, to Kelce and Swift
cowering in his recliner, Guest was miffed
rage-tweeting as he did scroll

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest enjoys Valentine's Day
he celebrates in his usual way
twice-fried Cheez puffs at the diner
back home to his cozy recliner
for the "news" to lead him astray

[Robert J Sakimano]

recent court decisions give Guest the blues
he gets really sad when watching the 'news'
Guest no longer trusts the judicial system
his christian hero is a perpetual victim
as a result, he's off to buy some Trump shoes

[Trapper Gus]

In Mio poor Goose is torn
Trump's primary about to be born
will it be all
will Trump fall
folks at the diner forlorn

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
whose patience you dare not test
he enjoys watching the news
he comes home from the diner to snooze
he likes their deep-fried butter chunks the best

[Robert J Sakimano]

Today is "Super Tuesday"
for Guest, a very busy news day
he gets to celebrate his christian hero
Guest's tolerance for criticism is zero
for regular people, it's just another snooze day

[Trapper Gus]

Goose happiness knows no bounds
Trump cannot be stopped the court founds
Originalisum hey
Only what we say
Conservative hypocrisy full of are those clowns

[Trapper Gus]

Once in Mio reality cracks
God at church doesn't have our backs
Darkness booms
Woven on looms
And the evil of Trump still attacks

[Robert J Sakimano]

I try to make up for the magnitude of your prose with a level of unmistakable repetition.

I like to think of this thread as a love letter to Guest.

If I have lost bob
I am a slob

He posts on the other board
When he is bored

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
whose life needed a little zest
serving deep-fried Marlboro lights
with his favorite 'news' show his sights
the Mio Diner provided at his behest

[Trapper Gus]

In this thread poems are King
Mostly they're done on the wing
Goose flies
Prose dies
In Mio Goose is Bob's thing

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest left in anger, we all know it
nobody will ever confuse me with a poet
I am an acute observer of the human condition
which is why I can say, without inhibition
MAGA... Guest will never outgrow it

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
who had a difficult time getting rest
he would come to our silly webpage
and quickly be filled with rage
he decided that leaving was best

[Trapper Gus]

Today's world is full of rage
Goose read it on every page
BP higher
hair on fire
Trump & Putin seemed like a sage

[Trapper Gus]

While Goose was unable to love
All those who worshiped the dove
Once a week
He would peek
At a person who did from above

[Trapper Gus]

There once was a poster named Guest
Who said he thought Trump was the best
He climbed up the wall
And had a big fall
Now Guest has been blessed with the rest

[Trapper Gus]

Tomorrow Trump will bond for the money
By dealing with Putin his honey
Guest stressed
Shorts messed
Putin thinks everything is real sunny

[Robert J Sakimano]

it was a wonderful weekend in Mio
a town about 200 miles north of Ohio
spending Sunday at church
Guest's favorite place on Earth
'til next Sunday, he hugged his friends 'goodbye-o'

[Trapper Gus]

Goose pulled it all out from his pillow
A storm coming bending his willow
DJT stock
Out of the block
Goose buying creating a billow

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is have a blessed week
his cozy recliner is beginning to creak
day in, day out, watching the news
easily angered by opposing views
his religion-inspired political views, you must not critique

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest
a christian whose life was blessed
his tolerance for dissent was zero
if someone criticized his christian hero
he decided that leaving was best

[Robert J Sakimano]

to get to the Mio Diner, Guest drives his car
he then partakes in a deep-fried Snickers bar
he smokes cigarettes with Mary
so many, it's actually scary
good thing his doctor is not too far

[Robert J Sakimano]

"Butter Soaked Twinkies" is the soup of the day
it has the consistency of warm, soggy clay
it's very popular with many a-local
their love for it, they are quite vocal
I don't wanna see their insurance copay

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest's christian hero is now on trial
seeing his him on TV always makes Guest smile
in church, for his hero, Guest does pray
he hopes the pussy grabbin' payments will go away
it keeps Guest occupied for a little while

[Robert J Sakimano]

it's "butter-fried Slim Jim Day" at the Mio Diner
Guest will then be in a cholesterol-induced coma is his recliner
watching his christian hero's criminal trial
whose leathery, orange, greasy face always makes Guest smile
life in Mio could not be finer

[Robert J Sakimano]

Ethel at the diner lights matches with her teeth
Ralph is in the back grinding up beef
in a nicotine haze, they're all bleary eyed
even the menus at the Mio Diner are deep-fried
Mio citizens hold close to their christian belief
