    Thanks, Gerhard, but was Sean singling me out? I hope not. There are a ton of one-liner posts in this thread. There are even some posts that are just smiley's and such.

    Thanks, glad you enjoy my posts. I may occasionally judge other peoples' opinions but never their right to post what they want.

    GUILTY!!

    "Man cannot live by words of sage-like wisdom alone" Humor & laughing (or for that matter groaning & wincing) balances all the self-aggrandizing that is rampant here (mea culpa as well).

    Mike Portnoy and Neal Morse walk into a hospital; after a long, long wait, the two are finally ushered into the examination room.

    Doctor: "Mike, open your mouth."

    Mike: "Doc, why? It's my arms that are sore."

    Neal: "Mike, just open your mouth, it's important you trust this guy."

    Mike: "Okay, but just remember, my fans are waiting. Awwwwwwwwwww." (opens mouth widely revealing inner-cheek "Slayer" tattoos.)

    The doctor peers long and hard into Mike's mouth; after a long pause, the doctor says gravely, "You can close your mouth now," then sits back and puts on his reading glasses. "Mike, I don't know how to put this to you," said the doctor, "but it's not good news."

    Mike, visibly shaken, replies, "Doc, what's wrong with me?"

    The doctor removes his glasses and solemnly replies, "Mike, you've got a bad case of hemorrhoids."

    Neal, clearly concerned, whispers, "I might be looking through rose colored glasses, but I thought the wind blew them all away?"

    I think you're very funny, but I want you banned for misplacing the apostrophe in "people's".

    I always liked Shemp the best, never got all hoopla over Curly. Yeah he was funny, and the "break out" star of the team, but he just never "resonated" with me . Larry was my second favorite Stooge.

    Still can't believe Mike is not on this board. If Geoff Downes posts....

    Gruno is Mike Portnoy.

    There. I said it.

    What fiasco is that?

    A guy with a modicum level of fame does not get preferential treatment over 'regular' people with more serious ailments? If that's you idea of a 'fiasco', I am happy to have more of these fiascoes.

    Maybe Pamela George (Randy's wife) can chime in here. I saw Randy's FB post that attempted to explain what went down. IMHO, waaay too much is being made about this. YMMV.

    I think Jubal probably meant longer lines and less staff.

    Portnoy couldn't control his arms and flipped his lid.

    I think I've seen this movie before. It was called Portnoy's Complaint.

    Mike Portnoy has always come across as a hot-head with a big ego. Typical Long Islander.
