I ride a bicycle for transportation. I do not drive a car or have a drivers license. I also dont steal anything from anyone. While I am an Irish/American and do know the definition it is also a reference to my favorite outlaw country supergroup, The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson & Waylon Jennings). I also spend much time traveling on highways.

I actually am a combat veteran who receives my free healthcare from the VA. It seems that there are plenty of Trump supporters who attend BM & on eplaya. I wouldn't accept a ticket from either the Captain or the Admiral.

That's crazy. A ticket is a ticket, they all come from BMorg.
If you're a combat vet you deserve the support you get. I'll give you that point.

Where is my fucking piano? My dear fuckos, this is not the topic for serious replies, and not for discussions. And NO NAME CALLING OR PERSONAL ATTACKS.

Stop, or we lose page two.

Has everyone read the page one disclaimer about page two? No? Do it. Here is the body of it, without the links.
For those who've been around this (or any) internet community for any length of time, it can get a little frustrating to see new people coming in and posting or asking the same things over and over again, without having taken any time to do any reading or research first. What can often happen is that people will put up with those posts for as long as they can, and then they'll vent all that pent up frustration on the next person to post. Then others chime in to vent their frustrations, and things tend to get ugly fast. It's unfair for every 100th poster to have to take the heat of all those other people's posts, and it's unfair for people to have to keep all their frustrations and exasperations bottled up all the time.

For a while, people would hold themselves to the rule of waiting until page two before getting snarky... but it didn't take long before some folks started intentionally replying and posting in a thread to fill up a page so that it would finally reach page two and people would sometimes get mean-spirited.

In order to curtail the page two shenanigans and the unloading of pent-up frustration on ticket seekers and other new users... we have the page two thread. It's removed from the original discussion, and an appropriate place to do things like vent, get snarky, or keep score on the games people play or buzzwords people use in their ticket posts. For this year's scoring chart, please see this post. Have fun, but please avoid being mean-spirited. As per our Community Guidelines, personal attacks are unwelcome.

NOTE TO NEW FOLKS AND TICKET SEEKERS: this is all in the spirit of cacaphony and good-natured fun. If that all seems a bit strange and unusual to you, please take a few minutes to read this post.

I know the Nevada Department of Health is generally ok with alcoholic beverages being served without a food permit and all the safety precautions that requires but I think you may have just found the exception to the rule...

Cocktail anyone?

Ok I was going to reply nice but that takes to many words and YOU should be reading up on this on your own or with. Your campmate. Do some reading. The answers you seek are there for the finding.

Fuck has anybody been alarmed by the amount of willfully uniformed? Oh wait don't answer, it's Page Two

What if the ink on the ticket smeared? Or was non-hypoallergenic? Or his bladder exploded and caused the ticket to be rejected for biohazard concerns? Or if the sun exploded? Or some giant mutant brine shrimp took exception to his choice of socks?

These are all possible problems!!!! (Of course, given the current context, many here might call these a "feature")
