Yup - this. :shakehead

I don't want to shut down this thread and won't unless it goes TOTALLY off the rails. So far I think it has been interesting and even fun at times! Posts like RedLed's are NOT the kind of posts CPF really needs or wants in ANY of it's forums. The reason I have not deleted them is because they are a good example of why sometimes fewer posts is actually a GOOD thing... :ironic: Self aggrandizing posts that are little more than a quite boring and inflated CV that also belittles and insults others are not what CPF is about... and never will be. We've had this conversation before RedLed... let's not have it end the same way it ended before.

Would just like too add, there have been quite a few more regular posts recently(or more so after the search work was finished by Greta). That is what stumped me, sure this thread was started prior and when the search was not available. I am on here every day.............several times a day(its like home for me). So as i use the search with the "new posts" section, i am always seeing new threads or posts popping up.

Dont have all the stats, but wonder if during the summer(i know its not everyone's summer) or lighter evenings/nights, posts are not as frequent. Then come winter(fall), posts build up with the darker evenings and when maybe more of us get to enjoy our portable illumination tools of various flavours. As i use lights regardless of the time of year , daily in work, i still get good use out of them all year round. What does frustrate me though, is more limited use around the house in the evenings. As its not even dark fully when i go to bed..................:mecry: I tend to be in bed for 10 ish or not much after, up at just gone 5(light then as well).

So thaaaaaaaatz how you spell aggrandizing. Remember Robert Vaughn (as Chalmers in Bullitt) used that term to Steve McQueen (as Frank Bullitt) when he found out Steve had hidden the star witness against 'the mob'?

I just figured folks with skulls on their clips roads Harleys and wore black leather and the flashlight was an accent to all that stuff.
Live and let live I say.

But regarding fewer posts, it seems to be an ebb and flow thing. And I definitely agree the Malkoff thread is sucking up a lot of posts.

Steve McQueen collected and rode antique motorcycles. Regularly seen around m/c swap meets, I don't remember seeing any iron crosses mounted on his Indian Chief.. Well except for in the Great Escape m/c chase scene!

Regarding skulls on clips: They'd make my Cold Steel Rajah II stand out just a bit too much for my taste. ;)

I'm still stunned you sat through all of Bullitt; everyone knows you skip to where the jazz music starts, then turn it off after McQueen puts it in the ditch.

Nowadays we just watch Gymkhana:

I will have brand new ones on Friday when I get to hug and kiss on him in person!!! :kiss::grin2::grouphug:

And then we're going to Comic Con on Saturday where he will get his picture taken with his namesake actor Alan Tudyk! .... Added bonus: Mom and Mimi get their picture taken with Jason Momoa!! :huh::drool::faint::kiss:

LOL!!!! Great movie! And not as much cheese as you would expect from a late-60 movie.
