You're always welcome Mare.
Dear Iggy - An Advice Column
- Thread starter Norm
- Start date
I know you appreciate my humor Mare but do understand there are those who may not. Its always a fine line between edgy funny and inappropriate. I'm gonna say I know the line, maybe I don't but I convince myself that I do. On one hand the ask Iggy thread is popular but on the other hand it may be offensive to some. I just try to be me, if people are offended I probably wouldn't want to hang out with them anyway.
I believe a lot of women don't post due to reasons you stated, basically they just don't feel comfortable on a male dominated forum...I get that. I don't like walking into Victoria Secret, I feel out of place and kinda creepy. I have no problem walking into an auto parts store or liquor store, I can even handle surly mechanics however I squirm at the thougth of having to buy Mary lingerie.

Dear Iggy,
My female friend (not my wife) has been breaking the bank lately with her never ending need for D cell batteries, and as we both know those damn things are expensive as replacement spokes for a carbon Enve wheel set. Would you know if there is anyway to hard wire a few deep cycling 12volt marine grade batteries into her marital aids without the risk of fire or 1st degree burns ?

if it's 4 D cell batteries, that's 6vdc. you should be able to find a 6vdc wall wart transormer the house somewhere. Just cut the end off, connect one wire to where the 1st battery makes a contact and the other wire where the 4th battery makes contact. done
Oh yeah... This can't miss. And when the cops get called for a fried vagina, they'll have wonderful stories to tell their friends.

Dear Iggy,
I see the year is nearing an end and I haven’t taken a vacation yet. Of course, I have been out of work for a while so things are as tight as a 14 year old’s…but we will get to that later. Actually, I haven’t had a job in like 14 years, so there’s really not much cheese to book 2 first class to Fiji, Pisgah or Moab for example.
However, I have an idea that I want to run by you. I can take a “Posting mtbnj Vacation”. I have taken them before on my snowboarding forum, mtbr.com, pinkbike.com (don’t tell da boyz I got rid of my Jamis 1992 cast iron, no suspension, seven speed, aight?), and a couple of the NAMBLA boards, which is REALLY hard to do. These posting vacations are very economical, tend to clear the mind and my wife is a supporter, as well.
I have some great options that I wanted to share with you here.
1. In June at the Lewis Morris race I had asked the mayor, @Norm how much he weighed in an incredulous tone. After he told me 180 (mildly annoyed), I followed up with a request for swag cuz I had won my race, which he cleverly deflected. I am not giving up on this one. Once you hit 50, things tend to go downhill and I can use that.
2. When I was in a group ride this summer, I buzzed @fidodie ’s back wheel on a Fun Monday @ Chimney Rock. I thought that this would be a lock, but no.
3. I have been hacking on @gtluke (including #dick references) in the tRUMP Hillary thread for weeks, but instead of granting a young boy’s wish for a posting vacation, he took his ball and went home. One of my best ideas went awry. Drat.
4. Finally, my most recent idea is skating very near the mythical edge in the #freewatchung thread. Check out my witty, but somewhat inappropriately captioned photos in that thread. This is still under development, but I got some more ideas stored up for that one.
So, if you could give me your thoughts and sage advice on this one, maybe I can finally get a vacation. With the grass growing a bit slower this week and the boy off to college, you probably have some availability in your schedule to share your thoughts. To tell you the God’s honest truth, it’s been like a few years and, frankly, I am getting tired of riding the rock garden state on my Mongoose fatty every day and subsisting on cat food, government cheese, brick pack Mexican and generic WalMart beer, so please hurry.
Your pal and neighbor,
Roadie Prick

I had to read this 2x to understand what in the wide world of sports you are talking about. It's funny that @fidodie commented on your incoherent post, I re-read his posts and am still baffled.
So basically Gocker wants to know how to get banned(temporarily), because he wants a "vacation". @stb222 is the pro on this but I will say bashing Norm, women, or Jorba will usually do the job. However bashing , while entertaining goes the route of negativity.
Gocker if you want to switch things up and take a break from the 14 year vacation hiatus post up about fictitious vacations on MTBNJ. Just make shit up but keep it believable and see if you can get readers to fall for it. Inter-mix some facts with fiction and keep it interesting.

Good tip. Thanks.
@thegock FTR, I am the case of how to stay just on the good side of the banned for life line. That being said, I have chilled out in my later years. It helps to provide enough ok to good content to offset the BS.
