Oh, I knew what the deal was. I'm just the wiseguy type who just wanted to piss them off. My friends and I used to bust the chops of the various scammers along Forty Doo Wop all the time. It was great being a fearless, and stupid, yoot back then. That Coney Island Avenue location was a real bait and switch circus. You always felt like they wouldn't let you leave unless you left your wallet.

You're mistaken. "Wrong" is a matter of perception.

Nobody is tossing around insults or engaging in bad behavior in this thread. If this were the case, you'd be unable to post a comment because the thread would have been locked.

I'm entitled to my opinion even if you, or anyone else, disagrees with it. As far as I know, opinions aren't against forum rules.

Bill, it seems that the consensus is that we're not intellectually mature enough to discuss anything more complex than the pros and cons of accessory items included in 60+ year old model kits without devolving into a flame war.

No refunds.

Herein lies the rub. Thinking or assuming what choices another person has available are not within the purview of someone else, even a moderator. That pretty much describes a petty tyranny. Acting to prevent any assumed violation occurs even if there is no legitimate evidence that anything will actually happen.

The blue variety is a popular beverage selection, to accompany the green bologna sangwiches served at lunch, in Dannemora.

I was accused of this by one of the hall monitors in the past and I proved him wrong. You're just as wrong as he was. Very few of my posts are in this section. You'll receive your parting gift as you exit.

The use of that line is strictly forbidden. It's an overused comeback favored by the individual who was obliquely referenced in the now-locked thread.

George Orwell is calling and he wants his dystopian future back.

I know what the rules are, Mike. I don't agree with the premise that those two subjects should be off limits in a sub-forum which is supposed to be where off-topic (non-modeling-related) subjects are discussed. That's my opinion to which I'm entitled. BTW, my reading comprehension is excellent, as is my spelling and grammar. Although, I can't speak for anyone else here. That's for readers of posts and comments to decide.

As I pointed out in another thread, the title of this sub-forum is an oxymoron. This isn't an actual off-topic forum if there are any restrictions on which topics can be posted or discussed. Restrictions defeat the purpose of what an OTL should be. So, enjoy yourself posting about cats and sewing machines. That's just the way the hall monitors like it.

And this is the OTL. One has nothing to do with the other. Mutual exclusivity.

No, between the two of us, you're the newbie. Check your join date. Exactly the types of topics which belong in the oxymoronically titled Off-Topic Lounge because they are off-topic. But, they're not. Therefore, OTL is not OTl in fact.

This is the alleged "Off-Topic Lounge", where topics other than building toys are supposed to be posted, that's why.

How about just posting a television test pattern in lieu of any possible topics? Every time an interesting and intellectually stimulating subject is posted and begins to be enthusiastically discussed, the hall monitors either lock it or "disappear" it because they don't think that the members are intelligent enough to comprehend the content and comment in a civil manner. "They" seem to feel that members are only capable of posting and discussing dumbed down floof which requires no thinking on either the poster's or reader's part. Whether you want to hear it or not, this puts a drag on the entire forum.

You never know. He's not so good with directions. You might luck out and he ends up in Passaic, N.J.

If the hinge is too long, you can trim its length.

Aber makes two sets of workable PE hinges, 35 A025 This set requires a 0.3mm wire to make the hinges workable. and 35 A039. Both sets are 1/35; however, they work fine with 1/24-1/25 cars and trucks. 35 A039 is easier to assemble because the female hinge sections have, for lack of a better term, the connecting wire etched as an integral part. Just slip the tabs from one set of hinges under and through the openings and fold the tab over the wire. I've used these hinges on a variety of car models with no problems. They can be installed as exterior, joining the two edges, or hidden with just the knuckles exposed between the door and fender.

Wrong. That is a myth. Myth Vs. Fact: Daylight Saving Time and Farming

I'm fairly shallow. First thing to cross my mind was

Yeah, that kind of stuff isn't allowed.
