Hey Doc, your'e funny!

"It’s really sad to see grown men act this way but some folks are just happy being lead around on a leash and told when to sit."

Funny like a clown.

:)

Dock why don't you ask him what he does with all the cash that is supposed to go to the charities that he advertises for these different poker runs...

You yourself have said that he has never done anything to you..I for one would be upset knowing that i entered a poker run knowing I was going to support a charity then find out that the money actually went somewhere else meaning someones pocket!!!! I would think that that is defrauding every participant of that poker run.. Wouldn't you? I know this happened because it has been checked out.. And to think this just one example!!!!

"Dond is right. There are a bunch of hungry dogs at Dogwood Animal Shelter.

They got ZERO dollars, in fact they have never even heard of a certain person, his website or any poker run.

And for the record, that certain person, publically posted that Dogwood Animal Shelter would be the beneficiary of the poker run.

I spoke the director herself who double checked with the executive board. None of them knew anything of it.

What a ****ing scam artist!!!!"

"Do you want to contribute or just stir the pot?"

I'm following your lead Dock.. I wish you could have seen all the FACTS that were deleted off of PBP this past weekend..

You know me.. I tell the truth and nothing but the truth...

Hey BTW I have a interesting email from a person that did the interior on your boat.. Why don't you call her and ask her to forward it to you.. Or just maybe she will tell you what happened with one said 30 outlaws interior!!!!!

It was brought to my attention today that TBM is offering amnesty to anyone that would like to return.

If any of you guys feel the need to bow down in front of the great dick-tater on your knees and ask for forgiveness, confess your sins and promise to never stray again you will be welcomed back.

I understand that he has once again laid out all the rules for his subjects to follow and has warned them of the punishment they will receive if they do not obey.

It’s really sad to see grown men act this way but some folks are just happy being lead around on a leash and told when to sit.

Actually it was us members that asked Blake to unban the group of guys that got screwed... Now ask yourself if those guys didn't get screwed by him why would they go back and ask for forgiveness on TBM?

This is the actual email...

Water under the bridge with me and this was going to be an invitation to all as part of our January 1st 2009 resolution. It just so happens, all this new nonsense with another website came to light a few weeks prior to that announcement. Like I said, water under the bridge with me and I would suggest a short and sweet apology to the members of TBM. I will UNBAN your USERNAME and you will need to fill out your information in your USERCP. Welcome back.

Hopefully some of these guys that have been threatened with bodily harm by him ( through email and phone conversations ) will come forward with the proof... I say all this because you need to know the FACTS, you are his biggest supporter for some reason... Whats funny is that the guy's that got F@#ked are very good friends with you.. Maybe they will chime in to back up what I'm saying...

Dock I understand you were just given the facts by a VERY good friend of mine... I'm guessing that you have seen the light NOW!!!

I can personally vouch for emails and phonecalls threatening me physically...I still have said emails and will gladly use them if the need ever arises..

Thanks for the phonecall and the response. I respect your decision and wish you and Tommie a Merry Christmas...Just felt I needed to speak my peace and thats it...

I would like to add to this thread, but, what more can I say that already hasn't been said. (here or on TBM, since my posts get deleted on PBP):food-smiley-007:

Here's a quote from another member concerning this!!

Here's a post to Back up Blake.....

"He (Blake)didn't email me to invite me back. Flege emailed me informing me about the opportunity to return. I choose to return And Last I check my breath didn't smell like ass, no ass kissing goin on there, & Blake didn't kiss my ass begging me to return. "water under the bridge" is the correct wording
As was mentioned earlier "RULES" They are the same rules that are on other boating forums.

GAME ON"

Funny you said that Seems like all the FACTS get deleted on PBP.. Pass the:food-smiley-007: Jesse .....:ernaehrung004:

All were trying to do here is protect are FRIENDS..from a certain individual... Everyone here wears big pants so you all can make your decision..

Well put Dave, I couldn't agree more.

Damn Jeff, you on vacation today buddy? :cool-smiley-027: Glad to see our favorite friend, Mr. PBP is getting exposed for what he really is.

I'm guessing with the facts coming in to play, this is kinda how you might feel someone has done to you!!!!!!:ernaehrung004:

Jeff,

I post here on OSO a lot and for me it is the best site and the one I enjoy posting on and I have to agree with others that the majority of the knowledge is here.

I have been out of the loop a lot and just happened on PBP yesterday and apparently a lot has happened and a lot has been deleted before I got there so I did not know what was going on.

Again Darrell has never done anything to me and other than the website, a poker run, boat party and seeing him for a brief time in Miami at the boat show I really do not know him any better than I know you or most anyone else on that site. I have enjoyed the communications with everyone and I try to find and see the best in everyone until something happens to make me think different. For the most part you and all the folks I have encountered boating are pretty good people. I would rather misjudge someone thinking they are better then they are to not give them the credit they deserve. The old saying you cannot judge a book by the cover.

Well again I'm in the dark and because Darrell always seemed like a good guy to me I had no reason to believe or think otherwise.

Here's exactly what he told me yesterday:

1) I lost my job in September after the banking crash
2) I took a job at LOTO, moved into my condo there until I could get established and move Connie there and never got paid after two months of work
3) While at LOTO my wife had an affair with a forum member and also with my brother which has caused a terrible feelings and problems within my family with my brother, mother and father
4) I had to let my boat go back to the bank because it was either feed my family or pay the boat payment
5) Then he told me that Connie had her second tumor removed and was on chemo and that he was at the hospital a couple of days ago and they thought he may be having a heart attack.
6) I have not been a saint myself but I'm trying to get my life together and I hope to work out everything with Connie and get through the holidays.
7) He said he felt as if everyone has turned against him and that he appreciated my support and did not mind me discussing this with anyone.

If the above is not true then shame on Darrell for making up such a story.

Again Darrell has never done anything to me so I am not going to appologize to anyone for believing him and supporting him just like I would the rest of you if you came to me with these problems.

If it is all a lie I am still not going to throw the guy under the bus but instead I plan to pray and pray hard for him in hopes that he can get his life straightened out.

He has problems wether the story is true or is not true and I pray to God that he can get the help he needs and get himself straightened out.

As for the poker run I attended I am pretty sure there was not a dime left over to go into anyones pocket much less a charity. I cannot speak for any of the other events that I didn't attend.

I contacted four of my friends and asked that all contact Darrell and keep he and his family in their thoughts and prayers.

I cannot imagine how if would be to either be in this situation or to find it necessary to tell someone that you are when in fact you are not. The bottom line is this person needs our prayers either way and their is power in prayer.

God Bless you Darrell I hope you find peace in life and get things worked out.

Mark

Chris,

Like I told Dave on the phone today I respect him and understand his post. However what I find interesting is that I'm told it should stop when Blake is the one that started it all over again. I really do not plan to forget it until he appologizes and I really don't expect him to do what he is demanding of his subjects.

Tell Blake he should not have started it by calling me a "MEAT BALL" on the pulic forum and see what happens to you on his website. I bet you will not be welcome again.

When I contacted Blake via email to discuss it I was given a go to hell response and told that my email was blocked and sure enough it was. Then a friend tried to do the same an he was given a nasty reply and his email blocked also.

It is always a one way street with Blake and TBM but no one will tell him that for the FEAR of being banned.

How can anyone ask this guy for forgiveness?

I simply have to laugh.

Funny how we are going from Darrell to Blake. Maybe there is something in the water with these forum operators.

While Darrell never did anything to me Blake on the other hand has gone out of his way to be as nasty as humanly possible.

Go Figure

Well guys I'm out of here for the holidays and plan to turn the computer off and enjoy the holidays.

Maybe it will be better next year.

God Bless & Merry Christmas

Mark

Doc, that is all real nice, but what does any of that have to do with TBM???

...and what does any of it have to do with the 40 ol Poker run boat that Hawkeye now has?

:angry-smiley-038:

Doc, I'm sorry, you answered my question while i was typing. So this is all over the fact that someone called you a meatball. Now I understand.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

This has nothing to do with Hawkeyes poker run boat, someone hijacked the thread earlier.

Ok, I had a little difficulty finding this "redemption" thread.......


I read the whole thread. Very touching, nice apologys.

I found the above quote quite funny. I was repeatedly told by Blake over the years to "stick with my own kind", (meaning TBM). To me, my own kind would be anyone that likes anything and everything to do with boating. Why should I limit myself to one website because someone doesnt like me looking elsewhere. I may have Baja in my blood, but as long as it floats Im willing to talk about it or look at pictures of it!

Not many people know this, but it got so bad that at one point I was offered a FREE LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP to TBM (the ones you guys have to pay for!) in exchange for staying off another website. I gladly accepted this membership, and kept on visiting the other site because no one tells me what I can and cannot do online. That free membership didnt last long.

I take a peek in on TBM every 2 months or so just to see if the site is still up since Foutain took over. Ironically, there is more action in this tiny corner of OSO than a whole website dedicated to the subject.

:ernaehrung004:

.... And he wouldn't even trust you to "hole cut" a Bayliner;)

Holecut became my specialty. I was so nervous, I would measure at least 10 times, then get opinions from other people.

Im sure Dave remembers me dragging him out of the office a couple hundred dozen times to look at something before I cut!:drink:

The best was the quote where he called teambaja an "all around general shoe". I swear I am going to get t-shirts printed up.

Now, let's get back to the 40 PR boat OR START ANOTHER THREAD TO CONTINUE THIS. If we keep screwing around here Dock's thread is not going to be the longest and most viewed in the section.

:ernaehrung004:

Oh ok.

There might be a "banned" person in the pic though

Doc, When you get a chance call me... I'm no longer getting pm's on OSO.

We'll be down your way and Feb and would like to stop by and say Howdy on our way to Florida.

If you dont have my t#, my email: [email protected]

I can also give you my take in the "situation"

Ok I can understand a few people that don't like each other and don't get along. You know what that is just the way it is different strokes for different folks. Those people should keep it between them selves, not stir up a whole community of people.

What I don't understand and don't agree with is the bashing of a whole site and the people that are on it. If you have a problem with a person take it up with them. Don't go around saying that the other people on the site are "TOOLS, FOOLS, SHEEP, IDIOTS" or whatever disparaging remark you can think of. They are just people that go to a site to get info, meet new people, and have some fun.

Who cares what website, has what people on it. Who cares what website got a bit of information first. It's an Internet board not a contest. I really hope that people have better things to do than to track who got what bit of info first on a chat board.

I am not going to name any names, but some people on both sides have made some pretty nasty comments. It is really pretty childish and everyone should just stand back and really consider what they say. I think most people face to face would never act the way they do on these boards. Like mom always said if you can’t say anything nice, then just don’t say anything at all.

I personally go to many boat boards. Some of them have more traffic than others. Each has it’s own feel. I think each board has something special to offer. Why would anyone want to cut them selves off from a possible opportunity to make a new connection, gain a bit of knowledge, find a source for materials or find a new place to boat?

As I will be posting this on both of the boards TBM and OSO, I hope we can all find a way to get along in the new year. There is so much more to be gained if we work and play together, then fighting amongst ourselves.

I wish you all happy holidays and a prosperous New Year!

Amen, and well said.
I too get pretty tired of the bashing and could care less who says what. All it does it make me respect the person doing the bashing a little less. We all should have a bit more integrity.

Some more pic's

The business end.... Todd installing mufflers after
AJ got a noise ticket,..... and a side shot.

No banned members were used in the taking of these photo's, but there may have been a couple of banned members in the show room at the time that the photo's were taken.


I really don't think any of us banned people over here have
any problems with anyone else over there, with the exception of one person, the person who banned us.

We are who we are....he is who he is

That was a funny story on Split. We built the boat with pressure activated mechanical mufflers from CORSA. These do a great job of taking out the high annoying freqs of the exhaust note. Running the boat hour after hour really became annoying with the straight exhaust that was on Lucky. The first thing Hawkeye did with the boat was pull the mufflers and put straight pipes on. The second thing that happened was AJ got a ticket his first time out on the boat and...yep as you noted, mufflers went back on.

And that about sums it up!

Here's one of my favorite Split Decision pics courtesy of Dock Holiday. This is me being responsible and setting an example.:)

Actually, after this picture was taken I puked up the water and opened a Coors Light! :drink:

Best quotes from Jeff Becker during Hawkeyes poker run (directed towards Jason "Billy" Billmeyer.)

• "GO BILLY GO!"
• "You f*ckin pu$$y! You dont work for Baja anymore!"
• "If you back off that throttle one more time Im gonna fire your ass!"

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...4363Medium.jpg

That is the first picture I have ever seen of you without a beer in your hand or passed out...........Did you let jack off the boat?

I'm sure they had a hell of a time doing the mufflers, too!. I had tons of cuts and scrapes trying to put it together the 1st time! One TIGHT fit.

Team Baja that shirt rocks. Where did you get it?

A friend of mine had the shirt first and wouldnt sell it to me, so I found it here.

Favorite pics??....isn't there any pic's of the nekked
chicks in the engine compartment when you guys were
at Catfish Charlies ?:drink:

Would that be before or after Jack got off? :D

LOL, :ernaehrung004:!

I seem to remember hearing something similar to that down at Lake Cumberland Poker Run as well...I can insert pics or I'd have a couple..
