Behind every good woman lies a trail of men

[Kellybird]

score!!

[Flashy_Gray]

Eventers wear granny briefs with the big ole elastic gusset waistband hiked up real high so they can tuck their dork “help-me-I’ve-fallen-x-country-and-I-can’t-get-up” body protector vests into 'em.

[blue52]

19. Poster who you want to "vote off the island -
    anyone and everyone who insists with a closed mind that everyone who wears an unapproved helmet is stupid and ignorant. Choice is fine, opinion is fine, belitttlement (is that a word?) and attempts at dictatorship are not.

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Hey tle, why do you need letters to help you around a ring? Can’t you just remember in your Training Level Test 1 where to make your 20-meter circles?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Why of course I can, dear. Those letters are for the judges!

Now, I could come back and ask why you need to have a fence to keep you IN the ring and pitty that you were never taught to count higher than 8,… but I think I’ll be nice.

If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!

[Everythingbutwings]

I got it on good authority

AND he likes horses!

[halfhalt]

my old BBname, off course!

[tle]

Well, gee… it’s not that we’re dumb. It’s that with all the he/she’s in H/J, one would never know!! I mean, ya’ll are almost as bad as the DQs!!

If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!

Erin said:<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> 13. Poster who you most want to meet in person - ANY OF THEM! I haven’t met any BBers yet (well, except for Gofer and Heather, and Brigitte, who I have known for a LONG time), and I keep missing the Frying Pan and Mosby’s outings. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Are you suffering memory loss? Have you been falling off without a helmet? Am I THAT forgettable (in bumble bee colors)?

[tle]

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>12. Poster who you want to come back as in your next life - tle!! I’m a fan!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have a fan! I have a fan! (I feel like Steve Martin jumping up and down screaming about the new phone books arriving). Thanks MsR.

Magnolia… ok, you realize with that answer you’ve asked for even more stories!

[subk]

The initial criticism of tle because she was unaware of actual gender is moot. Attitude is not gender specific regardless of curtesy titles.

[Erin]

Ah, but Jair, you forget… she has “reformed!” It’s a whole new Colin.

Actually Weatherford, my Travelocity Farewatcher dutifully informed me this morning that the fares are down again… to $258! Must… resist… holidays coming… no money… must… resist…

I am hoping to go in Sept. or Oct. though.

Your favorite thread of the year - Question for Merry and follow-ups, threads with old show photos from the dinosaur era, horse-less pictures and Let’s Meet IV, the USOC/NGB soap (or horse?) opera

Thread that has impacted you the most - so many of those relating to September 11th,
the COTH horse rescue, Coreene’s Christmas charity topic, PV ad

Thread that just wouldn’t die - Bush vs. Gore, various helmet topics, Christian equestrians

Thread that you wish had never died - Question for Merry

Topic that has given you re-occuring nightmares - PV ad, hands down!

Person who posts for no reason but to see their name in lights - Several juniors come immediately to mind, but remain nameless to protect the guilty

Best user name - dogchushu, gives me a chuckle everytime I see it

Most annoying username - Obilivious Jumper, the misspelling irritates me everytime I see it. AnYoNeWhOsEuSeRnAmElOoKsLiKeThIs.

Most inspirational poster - Reginapony

Poster in most need of visiting a sanitarium - you know who you are&… Thanks for the entertainment!!

Poster whose threads you look most forward to reading - bumpkin, Coreene (and Willem), Merry, Kachoo, Portia, Flash44, findeight, heidi, Linda Allen - and WAY too many others to name.

Poster who you want to come back as in your next life - too many to decide on just one

Poster who you most want to meet in person - Coreene (hopefully at Christmas), MO (hopefully sometime)

Clique that you most want to be a member of - the ones I’m already in (CA and PNW)

Poster whose horse you would jump in front of a train for - bumpkin and Coreene

Poster that always puts you in a good mood - any of my CA Clique buddies

Most Valuable Friend/s that you have gained as a result of this BB - bumpkin, Coreene, MO, wty, CWP primarily, and everyone else I have e-mailed back and forth with this past year. You’re ‘all good’ and I am so happy to know you…

Most memorable event from the BB this year - the sense of community we all felt in the days following September 11th. Travelling to Washington to see bumpkin again, meeting wty, and so many wonderful phone conversations with both bumpkin and Coreene throughout the year.

Poster who you want to “vote off the island” - several juniors from the sneaking by thread, those who misrepresent themselves

Thing you would change most about the BB - that many of the original posters on the bb would come back or post more frequently than they do. That there were more substantive topics, and less that illustrate the “hunter princess” stereotype in action.

What you like best about the BB - the many wonderful friends that I have made, and the way it keeps me in touch with the horse show world

Has any one thing/topic changed the way you live - I appreciate each day of my life, my family and my friends, even more since September 11th.

In general - how was 2001 for you? It had memorable highs and lows. I’m looking forward to 2002!
