I think he scored 56 goals for the Edmonton Oilers this year. Oops sorry that was last year scot47, hockey has been "locked out"for a year while some have been locked in.

Rice Paddy,
You seem to be a busy boy. It looks like you either want to be Greek styled, Arab styled, or both. Maybe you should be reported?

I noticed that the man (presumably) posted on every single board with mostly weird one or two word comments. Mostly they were irrelevent. When I read some of the stupid comments that he put around the Middle East section, I clicked on his name. He posted like 4 pages of messages in about 15 minutes around the board!! This is a person who needs to get a life!! Shocked

Not that I understand the logistics of these boards, but isn't it about bandspace or something? Wouldn't those in power want to avoid filling things up with a few hundred messages even more bizarre and useless than our usual stuff? I suppose that at least he wasn't doing it in a way just to start fights or whatever like the garden variety troll.

It doesn't take a "rocket scientist" to figure out that there's bugger and all to do out there in the Magic Kingdom other than spend your time glued to this message board.

Dave provides a valuable service letting those who are walking into the heart of darkness know that there are others suffering the same plight out there.

I'm sure he's kept many from slipping over the edge and being pickled in sidiq.

Then again who am I to talk, I'm never off the bloody page and I'm nowhere near the K.S.A.

Perhaps "Ghutra Man"'s name is a pun on the Elvis song "Guitar Man" discuss:

Being pickled in sid isn't that bad...or maybe it is....who can tell? Who am I to say? I've already slipped over the edge. Heart of darkness? It's not all that bad.

I like the "Guitar Man" angle. Elvis in a ghutra...that doesn't bring up the greatest image.

But this rice paddy fellow is in Japan according to his profile. I always thought that most jobs there provided a bit more entertainment than the Magic Kingdom.

My inquiry was directed at "Ghutra Man" and not "Rice Paddy Daddy".
