Define the term friend:

Friend -

1. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
2. One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement

Based on the attendance of this group it can be argued that we are Friends in that we all support each other's interest in the RX8 and also share other common interests as well. It's also a given that it is highly unlikely that anyone that did not enjoy or value the comradery of this particular group that they would continue attendance or communication.

Counter Argument to my own arguments

1. A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.

While the above may be true it could also be said that not everyone likes or trusts everyone equally in the group. That of course can be expected given the complexity of friendship and the ever increasing amount of people you add to a group. Obviously the cut off is different depending on the person.

I personally will count this group of people among my "friends".

A better definition for you Thomas...


Definition of joke:

* a humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter; "he told a very funny joke"; "he knows a million gags"; "thanks for the laugh"; "he laughed unpleasantly at his own jest"; "even a schoolboy's jape is supposed to have some ascertainable point"
* jest: activity characterized by good humor
* tell a joke; speak humorously; "He often jokes even when he appears serious"
* antic: a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement
* act in a funny or teasing way
* a triviality not to be taken seriously; "I regarded his campaign for mayor as a joke"

Who, me?! *makes innocent face* I would never do such a thing!

P.S. Isn't it "Ya'll"?

Lord ET 02-15-2011 01:51 PM

Lord ET +1, no more 'I think'

lta_ds_fs7 02-15-2011 02:30 PM

The possibility is there.... :)

lta_ds_fs7 02-15-2011 03:01 PM

Well, the reason I ask is due to the name that was given...Maybe I didn't mention I'm not a guy...lol...Just throwing that out there.

lol well in this case "new guy" was refering to "new person" it was a gender neutral term used in this context :)

lta_ds_fs7 02-15-2011 03:08 PM

I know...I was kidding...It's just that there's always the assumption that I'm a guy when I post anything...I guess it works out better that way though...Being a woman makes me inferior in the forum for some reason.

It's safer to assume everyone is a guy that you haven't met yet, lol.

Well this is a particularly large and diverse board, that may be the case in other areas (though which I'm not sure) but is not the case around here. Skill and knowledge are what we value. Most of the leg humper crew is on the general discussion side of the board. This crew is mainly mid to late 20's with a few exceptions on either side. One question for you since you are posting in this thread, are you planning on coming to the meet?

Some of us exceptions are futher down the exception side than others.... Agewise, anyway. Maturity/Fun level.. well, we are all about the same age.

lta_ds_fs7 02-15-2011 04:01 PM

Yeah sure...I don't see any harm in going to meet new people.

Cool, generally speaking we try to park as far back in the lot as possible so we can park together. Will try to hang out by the cars first so we are easy to find and send someone in to get a table (most likely myself)

lta_ds_fs7 02-15-2011 04:15 PM

Ok great...I'll just look for all of the 8s then...Hopefully I don't go up to some random person who just happens to be in an RX8...lol

Lord ET 02-15-2011 05:15 PM

I'd suggest keeping that bit of information closely guarded. Not because people will think less of you, but because you'll get all sorts of creepers coming out of the wood work trying to hit on you.

From an entertainment standpoint, I think it's hilarious! But I'm sure it's quite a pain for you.

Anyways, welcome to the club and we'll see you on Friday.

And it's a really bad song if you're trying to drive anywhere near the speed limit.
