    Because of the prizes.

    Been here less than a year, Have been made welcome by everyone here. I have asked questions and have gotten great answers and education. 
    As to the "group or click" thing. Engage, be a part of things I did and have never been made to feel as an outsider. While I may not agree with all or anyone here from time to time I have always felt respected. I have seen waaaaayyyyyy worse on other forums. 
    Oh and the laughs, you guys are hilarious.
     Thanks for letting me hang out guys.

    I thought it was because of all the POINTS we are accumulating.  I was told that 100,000 FORUM POINTS can be traded in for an XL.  You mean to say I was LIED TO?!?!?  What's next?  You going to tell me Santa Claus isn't REAL?

    Bonus: No one here has threatened to shoot anyone.

    Not in a while but it has happened. There have been a few "I'm coming to your house to kick your a$$" posts too but most of that has settled down. Haven't seen one of those in 3-4 years (maybe longer).


    I may not know you, know where you live in Cen-Tex, or hate you in any way what so ever, but because of this post I am coming down there to kick you're a$$. There now there has been a new one.  =)

    Yes, I may feel more like part of the in crowd if I attended Butt-Blast and other events. I attend my local Eggfest but I'm retired and can't afford to run all over the country to attend events that sound more like a drunken campout than an Egg event. I don't drink anymore so I doubt I would fit in even if i had the money to attend. 




    I promise you'd fit in SJE.  

    Is people drinking, yes, but there are plenty that do not.  I am one that does not drink nor does my family that I bring to camp out that weekend.   I trust my family being around these folks.  Everyone is stand up folks and I'll honestly say, it is your loss.  I love these folks more than they'll ever know.  Good people.  

    With that said, don't judge the event just by what's displayed, though they were fun and games, and I have no doubt if you were there, you'd love every minute of it.  

    Doesn't cost much to attend BB brother.  Gas is cheap and we don't ask for a penny, just come on.  
    It’s all I can do to refrain from posting the upside down Kentucky tent. Maybe I need a cocktail. I mean here and now....not at Butt Blast.

    I was once invited to what I though was a "bacchanal "but instead turned out to be a week of Baroque music and sodomy. 

    Thoroughly disgusted, I only stayed a few days. 

    In the Classical and Romantic periods, these were referred to as “Schubertiades,” named after Franz Schubert.
