I own a Chrysler, does that count? But my wifes uncle owns a dealership, so we pay a little less than the average poultry steroid delivery truck driver.

I gold-plated my tires AND my spinning rims on my ride. It's the pimpin'est Miata ever!

Bong's apology for this is on public record and accepted by me wholeheartedly.

TikiGardener,

I'm only saying that Monster Cables are good cables and that many businesses are sue happy, nothing more nothing less.

Why can't someone have an opionion other that the rest?

I honestly mean you no insult. Like I said you're cool in my book.

take care.

I'm concerned that Monster is being neglegent in their diligence by not suing everyone with the word CABLES in their name or on their website. By god they could lose everything!

WHAT ABOUT THE ".COM" PART? Sister Teressa on a bike they could own the world!"

As we all know, Tiki Bong can be a real a-hole quite often. Well, it happened again!

It was a cheap shot on my part to reference TikiGardener with the Tiki Gardens contribution gig, to which he did honestly divest himself.

I'l like to publically apologize to TG for my dumb-ass comment.

Sorry TG

I'm glad that though some private correspondance the Bong and The Gardener have ironed things out.

And as to the Bong vs Gardener thread that was locked very quickly. My money is on Bong... At the drinking table, I'm sure I'd be barfing well before Bong was slurring his s's. And in most areas of banter and debate, he'd probably come out the better.
All he was guilty of ( debate wise that is ) is going for a cheap shot, as opposed to saying what would have furthered his point. If the cheap shot had been factually accurate, I'd have been toast. Even if I argued the point of decorum till the cows came home, if it had been accurate, whether it was cheap really wouldn't have mattered.

And given that I've struggled with the effects of ADD/HD, I've found myself in the same place Bong did. I've destroyed more than a few friendships, and caused many an uncomfortable moment at family gatherings by saying what was on my mind, no matter how inappropriate.

So, I really hope that this post can be viewed as much as my apology as it is an acknowledgement of Bong's.

After all, I did tell him to "Get Bent".

Again folks lets get back to tiki, and drunken posts.

I now click submit post hoping I haven't pissed anyone off.

Hey TG and Bong-

Can you's score me some of this ADD/HD stuff??

I really need to blame everything that has gone wrong in my life on someone/thing else.

Trust me ben, if ya don't have it, ya don't want it.

Really, trust me. It isn't fun.

TG

Stick to blaming booze. At least that is fun...

I am getting my teaching credential in special education, and currently tutor K-6 students with ADD and autism. It is a pretty tough thing to deal with, and is something that they will have to deal with the rest of their lives.

(on the positive side of teaching though - June, July and August - Surf City!)

Hey you guys, I just happened to go see a "shrink" 2 days ago. My wife Lisa, aka 'Weence", thinks that I might have ADD. She's a first grade teacher so she can tell when these kids didn't take thier chill tab and sends them straight to the nurse. So anyway, I went to get checked out actually hoping that I might have something. If I can take a pill every day to help me focus and be more productive, maybe I can double my income! It's tough being self employed and try to suport a family, especialy being a surfer as everyone knows, and have symptoms of ADD.

The Doc also gave me a list of symptoms for "Mania" and "Hypomania" which share some of the same symptoms as ADD. A lot of those "creative artist type" people actually have HYPOMANIA. Sounds cool huh? Some of the symptoms include: (1) elevated, irritable or expansive mood, (2) decreased need for sleep, (3) flight of ideas and racing thoughts, (4) easy distractibility, (5) increase in goal-oriented activities, (6) increase in pleasure-seeking and risk-taking activities like spending sprees, speeding, gambling, get-rich-quick schemes and hypersexual activities.

Sooo....some people might think they have ADD when they really have "Mania" or "Hypomania" which may require different meds than ADD. We'll see what I have if anything......

Give me a call if anyone wants to talk. This is all new to me too. (858) 452-TIKI
Maybe we can have a surf-therapy session.

Do we need an ADD/Hypomania thread?

Is it a sign of our ADD/HDD/Mania/Hypomania that we're no longer quite so mad at Monster Cables & talking about our mental distractability?

All this time I thought ADD ran in my family (4th generation that I know about, and from both sides of the family tree...), now I'm thinking it's more likely to be Hypomania.

Less Monster Cable, more Novartis!

I'm actually on steroids and amphetamines as of yesterday. Tuesday I went to an orthopaedic surgeon and had an MRI for my Sciatica. They put me on steriods for a week and that same day the other dude put me on Adderall.... I'm not having any fun yet. I remember that some of you guys have that Sciatica crap too.

Well, I guess I may have me some of that hypermania stuff too. Everything I do, I do the 'nth degree.

Mean Gene, I do a lot of therepy when I'm surfing (especially if it's a small wave day).

This will be the add/hd thread when we forget what we lose interest in...........

im seeing this pop up on a lot of home theater boards,lets hope its starting to hit those jackasses in the purse.

I know you two settled this thing, but I think the quest to raise a tiki at Tiki Gardens/the Tiki Gardens contribution rip-off scam was Tiki Central at its finest and funniest. What ever happened to the rival Tiki Gardens site anyway? They seem to have gone the way of the original attraction. R.I.P.

Anyway, TC still needs to the do this project regardless of what the local authorities say.

An unauthorized tiki raising protest is the way to do it, with media coverage!

Screw monster cable.
