Yes, it's all a joke. He is being provocative.

Sometimes entertaining, often tedious, always benign.

That's pretty much how I feel about the Crashtest phenomenon.

I've always assumed he was joking. The fact that he tried to claim he was serious for so long is what irritated me.

Whatever side one comes down on, and it is difficult for me to determine that even for myself, the question of to Crash or not to Crash is by no means important enough for THIS brouhaha.

I believe he is what both sides have claimed - real and imaginary. We all have our own personal mythology, but maybe his is a little bigger. Perhaps somewhat amorphous, and certainly a bit deranged. But in any event, he isn't really harming anyone save possibly himself.

This is all a tempest in a teapot. His posts are no more demeaning to women than a lot of the wolf whistles and boob posts all of us, myself included, participate in.

I don't know what he is joking about and what he is serious about. Whatever the jokes are supposed to be, I never laugh. It's not funny. I love sarcasm, but it just doesn't work on a forum.
And how are you today?

If we're going to start an environment of not being demeaning to others, I hardly think Crash is one of the major offenders.

Personally, I tend to find insults that aren't directed specifically at me very amusing, although admittedly my little secret private joke is quite often on the person firing the shot rather than the intended recipient.

You got your adverbs mixed up.

Never entertaining, always tedious.

Yep.

Interesting that neither of you questioned "benign".

I don't agree with it. That's why I didn't include it.

Indeedy. If the how to get laid conversation gets tedious, I can just move over to the table with the ongoing discussion of the merits of big boobs vs little boobs, or the crazy table at the back of the room where barges and conspirancy theories are being hashed out. And on my way to the washroom, there's always the old regulars going on about perceived illnesses which seem to afflict certain (American) political parties.

If I took any of those too seriously, I'd have to quit coming to the saloon, and just hang out at my local Starbucks. :hat:

Crash?

Poseures supremus.

He plays people, which is ok, except for those who don't get it. People like that, in real life, eventually run into somebody that doesn't play...and wonder why they're looking down the wrong end of a gun barrel, or why they just got the butt-kicking they so richly deserved.

I dealt with a fool just like that this week in real life...after my wife so graciously persuaded me not to go stomp a mudhole out of him, I decided having him lose his job was probably punishment enough...and I made damn sure he knew where it came from, should he decide to revisit the issue.

Which he won't. Because poseurs can't back up the BS...

Yoo Hoo! - This is an Internet forum!

It doesn't matter if his woman/wealth stuff is made up or not.
It doesn't matter if it's all a joke or not.

Yoo Hoo! - This is an Internet forum!

Crash thumbs his nose at your sacred rules.
This drives you absolutely crazy.

He pushes your bottons.
They're YOUR buttons.
Disconnect the wires.
Ignore him.

I think that more than any other poster Larry follows only ONLY his own rules.
Larry's a bulldozer, and you'd better stay out of his way.
We've all just given up and adjusted to it.

I like Larry.
He's a great character here.
So am I.

I let Larry be Larry.
I let Crash be Crash.
I even let Renauda be Renauda. :P

I love reading things that upset me.
I love this place because it is not censored.
It is vibrant and alive.

When I see people ganging up to censor or ban a person or his style I don't like it.
It is arrogance and intolerance.

there is a vocal group of college kids that shun him... (thanks to certain people always dissing him - odd how they all have come to sound like Larry with the vernacular of the Tennessian). i find that really odd yet understandable given the fact they are still pack kids.

Are you referring to me here? I hardly think of myself as a "pack kid", and I sincerely hope that you don't think of me as "Larry with the vernacular of the Tennessian". What and who did you mean, exactly?
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

I agree
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
