"CRASHERS"...Oh my wounded heart.
You really hurt my feelings..... Oh, wait..I don't have any feelings.

"GET OFF *OUR* THREAD"....Please allow me to apologise for the intrusion. I was soley unaware that you were paying for this thread, and there was an actual membership role.


I guess *everything* really is BIG in Texas...

Well, I won't apologize on Faith's behalf, that's not my job. But from a CN mod standpoint, let me point out that this thread is of course open for anyone to post to.

But no reason to bring trash talk over here out of the blue, either, that silly "our thread's bigger than your thread" song ended a long time ago.

The "trash talk" wasn't out of the blue, it was in the open and as usual *CONSTANT*..

I don't play, "Ours is bigger then yours" games. Even though I never implied that. I am simply stating that MSHSP RULES. If anyone feels like that statement makes them feel inferior, then that is thier problem....

If I lived in the great state of Texas then the TSP would rule, but as it sits, its just another party....

I ain't bashin, I'm playin.

Rob(MSHSP Will always rule) When you coming up, an over to see

Wasn't talking about your post, Rob, I was talking about John's post that started it up again for no apparent reason. Whatever the point, I'm really happy you guys are getting to actully have your real party next week. Truly. Now can we let it go? This is the TSP thread, not the MSHSP thread. Toddle back on over to one of those 300 threads to talk about that party. You wanna talk about TSP in a positive light, this is the place.

I was under the assumption that this so called rivalry was just all in good fun. There is nothing to fear from the TSP standpoint since it is a large, well established, even famous starparty whereas this mt. st. helens starparty has yet to happen without rain(snow) and if they don't start having it in midsummer it will be rained(snowed out). I think it has already snowed up there. What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry for any hard feelings because if possible someday I would like to come to your TSP and I don't want to be tarred and feathered and run out of Texas

Hope you feel better Len




Sorry for the late reply, but thanks. I'm much better now. Then again, we're about to get several rooms of porcelain tile laid in our house starting tomorrow... No telling how I'll feel by next weekend!

We're knee deep in junk trying to clear, clean and get ready (not to mention the unavoidable things that pop up and have to be repaired... :-)

Don't worry, Steve. Just bring "The Almost 30" to TSP and I'm sure you'll be welcomed.

Preston you do realize that when it gets to 182 days away you have to start a TSP 2007 thread, right?

Why 182 days?

236 days till TSP

Counting off the days helps me through my day at work... I personally have been wanting to get to the TSP since I started in astronomy as a teenager.

I was just kiddin. 182 would be right at T-minus 6 months from TSP 2007.

You could also wait until January 1st to start the 2007 thread.
