Guest LilBambi Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 You're laughing because you and JL remember those old chicken beater band days, don't you. Yes! And my handle was Bambi there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mine was Tequila Kid. I had a taste for that nasty stuff when I was an adolescent. Soon, I grew up and changed over to Jack Daniels. It was funny, though, because no one called me that on the radidio. They all called for me as TK. Later on that morphed into Technician King because I was doing a lot of CB work out of my house at that time in my late teens/early 20s; some legal, some not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 We loved CB Radio till all the linears stomping all over you, and other rude people started using it with no idea how the give and take of public airways is supposed to be used.

You should have tried it in a decent sized city like Tampa. Down here, the only way you "got out" to your pal across town was to have a bigger linear, more modulation, and a bigger mouth than anyone else in your vicinity. It definitely devolved into a free-for-all eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, well the linears were rough after the 'etiquette' went out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yup. Obnoxiousness was bad enough at 4 watts output; nevermind 100 watts. Around my area, if you were a real arse, you could expect a visit from some of us late at night. We would hunt them down and go on pinning/cutting coax night missions. We even pulled a few antennas down while the troublemakers were on their radios. Fun times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 They were wild and crazy times. Every white van driving around the neighborhood was "Uncle Charley" (FCC). We used to have fabulous "coffee breaks" almost weekly. People were quick to help others in that community. I met a lot of good people in the CB community; many of them are still close friends today... 35 years or so later. I had the same experiences in the biker community. The only differences were one group rode the airwaves the other rode iron horses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Indeed, Temmu. During the low points in my life, I occasionally forget that there are actually some good people left in the world. I'm constantly reminded that there are, though... in many different places, communities, and unexpected groups. It's a pleasant surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 malapropism - the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar-sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect, as in, for example, “dance a flamingo ” (instead of flamenco ). nice haiku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 My post count padding is spread around the site. I had not realised there was a thread specially for padding. Is it just a winter thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
