peter31a Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Happy Birthday Doctor Cranky! Hope you have a good one.Probably spending the day making more eye candy eh? Well, I have a week and 3 years on you as I turned 54 last week.
thatz4u Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I'll add my 2 cents also, what they all said!!!! Remember Kids, Old Crankys never die, they sort of rust away after 200 years or so....Al
Models by Bear Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Happy Birthday Doc! Hope the styrene treats you good today.
glusnifr Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Happy Birthday Doc ,may you have many more styrene years ahead of you...
Draggon Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Happy B-Day Doc. Did you get styrene, cake, or fresh hot scrapple?
Miatatom Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks, CRANKYHEADS. I can't believe we've clocked in 51 years on this planet. It's great to be among such a wonderful community of friends and builders. Thank you. Why Doc, you're just a pup.
rmvw guy Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Happy B-Day Doc. Did you get styrene, cake, or fresh hot scrapple? How about a recipe for the sandwich. I swear I have never seen this stuff before! Are you serious Doc? Do you eat this stuff? I did learn something today it's not scrabble, so no words. Happy 51!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 LONG LIVE STYRENE. You guys sure know how to make my day, between rust and scrapple, what else can be better? Thank you all. I had a great day finished with a great meal of duck and lamb with risotto and wild mushrooms. 50 is in the bag, here comes 51! Cheers, DC
mikemodeler Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Have a Happy Birthday Doc, may the plastic gods shine upon you. And after reading the ingredients in Scrapple, I can promise you there will always be enough for you as I WILL NOT be eating it anytime soon!
OldTimer50707 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Happy birthday Dr. Cranky. I can't remember 50. I do remember my step-mother making homemade scrapple. Hope you have many more.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Thank you very much, all you CRANKYHEADS out there, for the love. Cheers.

Bugatti Fan Posted April 24 Posted April 24 This is a very old thread ! Cranky is at least 12 years older now and seems to have disappeared into the ether. Not aware of any recent MCM forum activity.

Not aware of any recent MCM forum activity. So why did *YOU* fish it out of the archive? The post before yours was 12 years ago! BTW, checking Dr Cranky's profile, he last visited October 22, 2016.
Bugatti Fan Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Found the thread whilst idly scrolling the forum as you do Pete. It was actually because I noticed that 12 years had elapsed since any activity from him. As Cranky was one of those larger than life characters who used to be a big noise on the forum and having authored some car modelling books it seems strange that he is not around on here any more. Curious about why he seems to have just 'disappeared' from the car modelling arena altogether. He extolled the virtues of the MCM community in his Rats, Rods n Rust book. Maybe he has lost interest and gone in another direction, who knows. Looking in his book he has a very well equipped workshop for model making, so I find it difficult to believe that he may have packed it up altogether. Maybe he is just doing his own thing modelling without forum participation of authoring these days. Hope that answers your question Pete.

Yes, it answered my question - thanks. It just seemed odd the way you phrased your message. It was as if someone else brought this thread from the grave and you were surprised that the old thread was revived. At leas that is how I interpreted it. Yet, you were the erson who brought it back. And FYI, I never randomly scroll through the messages here. I have very specific and deliberate method of viewing the forum. I look separately into only sections which interest me (I skip some sections altogether). I have the forums sorted by the newest threads on top. In each section I only look at new messages (since my last visit), But again, not all new messages. If there is an active thread which I looked into earlier but which doesn't interest me, I don't even bother to open it. When done looking through all the new messages in threads which interest me, I just mark that entire forum section as read, so I'll have a baseline next time I visit. I never scroll thru the forum sections to look at any older threads. I only look for older threads when I search for a specific info which I hope to find in the message archive.
