I’m gonna need a red cape, and a leather diaper
Yeah, it’s been a while.
But when my son walked up behind me and uttered the above, I felt it absolutely necessary to take a trip to my dear old blog again.
‘Course, that’s all I got for the moment. But I’ll be back.
Vicky, can we talk? . . .Your friend,RayM/Raymonty.
Sure, Ray. What’s up? What do you have to say?
Good Morning Vicky, I am at the Best Western having my cup of coffee. I read your article,”Race Relations” and I think that it was well written; I have to agree with everything that you said. We have to reach out our hand and try to understand the other person. I will support you with your ‘Race Relations’ project.
My great father was French&Native American and I can remember times when I was very young and people would say bad things about him. My mother’s family came from central Europe and the German/Pollish jokes,when I was young, got me upset. My G.Grandfather married an Irish girl. I married an Italian girl(divorced) and my children are out of the nest.
Winter is coming so I am looking for someone to talk to on the Internet. I mean no harm, all I am doing is trying to have a friend that I can talk to;I am a nice guy.
Sincerely, Ray/Raymonty/Raymont/Raymontee/Good Troll/Old Dog/Gippee. . . . vinelake.com(Firefox only) . . . raymont.vox.com.
P.S. Tell Tedd Riggs that I wish him well and I am praying for him. . . . . Have a good day.
creepy
Which, the red cape/leather diaper thing? Or Raymonty? Or the combination?
The latter.
Did he pause between, “I’m gonna need a red cape” and “and a leather diaper”? If so, that’s awesome.
There was a slight pause. I spit vodka out my nose.
He wants to be a Spartan (from the movie 300) for Halloween.
Where the hell am I going to find a leather diaper?
Vicky ~ I don’t know what the last two comments were about, but you have to understand that I have something important to past on to you that is related to your project. . . . . Time is running out. . . . . . Shall we continue?
By all means, Ray. Go right ahead.
I am sure that you heard the good news! . . . . Have a good day, Raymonty.
Vicky ~ Tell Dennis that I am on his side and support him. . . . The podcast is great and I listen to it each week. . . . I prayed to the ‘Christ Child’ for Davis and he will have a new trial. . . . I wish that you would try to understand me.
P.S. If you want to have some real fun like the old days, then join Topix.com(Offbeat). The web-site is pf**king wild!
Ricky ~ I vote for Vas and you for your great work in the ‘Davis project’; you guys and girls are the best on the Internet.
Sorry about spelling your name with a ‘R’. When I was young I liked a girl named,’Ricky’. How are you feeling? Please, say hello to my friends at Newsvine and tell them that I miss them.
Ray, I didn’t really do any work for the ‘Davis Project.’ That was all Vas.
Topix is lame compared to Newsvine. And I am having fun.
Vicky(if I may call you that), You are the one who got the snow ball rolling for the ‘Davis Project’. . . . . There is only one Newsvine but MSNBC is destroying the spirit of the members. . . . . The reason why I like Topix is because that web-site lets this ‘Old Dog’ go wild on the ‘Offbeat’ forum. . . . . . Tell Dennis that I am on his side of the ‘Great Debate’- we will win!
Sincerely,your friend, Ray/Raymonty/Old Dog.
P.S. How is my friend ‘Tom’ doing? Does he want to start another ‘Experiment’?
Ray:
1. No, I did not get the ball rolling in any way, shape, or form. Iarnuocon wrote an article that inspired Vas, and it went from there. I had very little to do with any of it.
2. I don’t know what you’re talking about with Dennis and this “Great Debate.”
3. Tom is very busy, and I can virtually guarantee you that he is not wanting to start another “experiment.”
You know what they say, Ray, about doing something over and over again, expecting different results? The thing is, I don’t expect any different results from you, and neither does Tom.
msnbc.com isn’t destroying anyone’s spirit. The site has grown exponentially in the last 6 months-year, there are a lot of very contentious political subject to be discussed right now, and there are some growing pains.
I simply do not have time to engage with you in this manner–attempting to re-educate you about where you’ve gone wrong or pointing out to you the bizarre errors in your thinking.
PS–Seriously. Spell my name correctly. It’s all over this site, including in the actual name of it.
Dear Viki,Thank you for your advice. I guess this ‘Old Dog’ will never learn new tricks, so maybe you and your friends could except me as I am,just an Old Dog who wants to have some fun. . . . . Please see if you could get my account opened again with Newsvine. . . . . Ask some people if I can be excepted into the community.
Sincerely,Ray/Old Dog/Raymonty.
Sorry, Ray. No. I’ve been down that road with you, I’ve tried helping you on the Vine, and it’s never done anybody any good.
Just move on.
Viki ~ I wish that someday you will understand me and except me for whom I am. I really want to be part of the Newsvine community. Please write an article and ask people if I can come back. Take a vote and see if there are some people who will except me into the group of Ex-Viners.
Thank you for your time and say hello to my friends at Newsvine. . . . . . Sincerely,Ray/Old Dog/Raymonty.
“C M” Community Monitors would be a good name for your group who check context of newsvine.
Ray, it is spelled “accept”.
Ray, none of those things are likely ever to happen.
KJ ~ Thank you for your help,my spelling and typing are not good but I keep trying to get it right. What is your name?
Viki ~ Am I invited to the Vinemeet? I promise to be good,real good! I hope that you don’t mind if I keep trying. . . . . . Say hello to everyone for me. – Ray/Old Dog/Raymonty.
I still remember the first Drinking Contest and I have a ‘Gold Medal’ to give to you,if you want it!
Viki ~ There has to be at lease one thing that you like about me? . . . . . I am a humaning being, do you like humaning beings?
Ray, no, you may not come to the VineMeet. It is for Newsviners only. Sorry.
Viki ~ I understand and I hope you don’t mind me trying! . . . . . . Please do me a favor and ask someone at Newsvine to come over to your blog(here) and say hello to this ‘Ex-Viner’; I promise to be nice!
Viki ~ “It’s Time to Say Goodbye”,for a while!
Vicki ~ Can we talk?
What do you want, Ray? Before you ask, please know that I believe I have made it fairly obvious that even if it were possible for me to allow you back on to Newsvine, I’m not interested.
I think that you are an intelligent woman and all I want is to say hello once in a while; If you want me to buzz-off I will. I will always think of you as a friend who helped me at Newsvine. Tom L. is my friend and I wish him well in his music career. I think that Calvin should design cloths. Have a good week-end and say hello to everyone. Your friend,Ray/Raymonty/Montaneer/GoodTroll,etc…
Good morning! What say you?
