Why I Run Solid Lifters

[aks801]

This should be good....

Alas-guilty as charged my learned colleague. I was so engrossed in the colorful visual aid you graciously provided that I overlooked the hard data of this penetrating analysis and it's startling revelations. My bad.

Actually, I looked in on this thread after seeing your name as author to learn I'd been dozing on the forum and missed your hurtling advance through the 10,000 post milestone. Imparting such incisive data as this is surely the reason and we must all be in your debt for this thankless chore.

I myself have been sorely remiss at spreading knowledge, culture, ERA superiority, solid lifter smugness-oh and the glorious benefits of the ERA IRS as opposed to the English trash Jag IRS -among the flock, as I have ten times fewer posts in two longer years of membership. My further bad.

Yours is certainly a ringing endorsement of the hard lifter- an example for all the squishy tappet plebes present to follow with haste. Indeed, your words (and pretty graphs) carry far more weight than if Keith, Jack or Barry theirownselves made such a proclamation as you have boldly done. You graciously provide such hardcore data after conducting pull after deafening pull, pass after violent pass and lap after grueling lap and then laboriously document the results.

Surely I will petition Ron to create yet a newer, more significant icon to go next to your loving cup, star and camera-The Gold Solid Lifter. This will alert one and all of your superior credentials on this forum as knower-of-all-things and chief arbiter of mechanical good taste.

P.S. I realize that some of these spurious postings are to offset the melancholy of watching your beloved 'Skins in another nationally-televised debacle. Reverting to your keyboard is soothing therapy...

Yes, that's true. It's actually painful to watch them. You want them to win so badly, and they just can't. They're really, really bad. Well, maybe they can spoil New York's evening later tonight... but I wouldn't bet on it. Hopefully Ol' Saint Nick will put something special under under the Chas Family Tree this year. Something that would perk him up a bit -- he kind of reminds me of Mr. Wilson that lived next to Dennis the Menace.

Awww, c'mon Pat-just lobbing a few "playful grenades"-like you like to do! Only you're better at it...At least we're not hi-jacking someone elses informative thread! And how about that gold solid lifter icon? You'd like that wouldn't you?

Actually, I think of myself as Mr. Dithers to your Dagwood Bumstead.

I did peek under the tree-I think she got me an electric chair this year!

Yes, that would be very nice. Actually I was starting to worry that you were under the weather or something. I figured you would have come out on my Jim Holden Literary Quiz thread, or when I was quoting old Broadway Show Tunes, etc.
