[QUOTE=seadawg;29986]for the “Emmett Kelly” impersonaters that appear on here from time to time…much prefer sequestering them to “ignore list”…anything else is a waste of time…as to capt. robert: “see ya-wouldn’t want to be ya”!![/QUOTE] Seadawg, kudos for the reference to the great Emmett Kelly! For those who may not be familiar, he was most famous as a circus clown, as well as a trapeze artist, and appeared in TV and film. He was a lifelong performer. He helped to try to save lives at the Hartford Circus Fire in 1944, where 167 people died. Here’s a photo of him helping out with the bucket brigade… [![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qgQtRQPWUq0/SUFX2bfPDdI/AAAAAAAAAFU/yqAZqyZiIs4/s400/emmetkelly2.gif) ](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qgQtRQPWUq0/SUFX2bfPDdI/AAAAAAAAAFU/yqAZqyZiIs4/s400/emmetkelly2.gif) ---

> [@PMC;30011](#): > > Anybody else there wish this whole thread would go away? Naw, I kinda like this thread. I do wish the Capt. Robert would go away though. :rolleyes: It looked like he might… he deleted all of his posts, including the cry for attention that started this thread. Like a bad penny or a case of herpes, he’s come back to defend his sick request for recognition again and again and again. Unfortunately for Robert, he has made the mistake of putting his picture on his profile, so now we have a face to put with the pathetic inebriated ramblings of the best 100 inland master to ever have lived. ---

Yeah, it was comic gold. You can get an idea from some of the quoted posts, but it’s not anywhere near as good as the unexpurgated version. ---

Capt. Rob don’t let them give you too hard a time. You’re not the only Captain looking for medals to pin on your chest: ![](http://earthfirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/paul-watson.jpg) In the meantime [this site](http://www4.va.gov/Kids/K-5/medal.asp) might make you feel better about yourself. ---

Lee and he was very influential and helpful to me several years ago (when I was a stranger pestering him on this forum), I think he can handle it, and understands how I intended it. Besides he has had slightly more than a 100 Ton NC for some time now. So…I think it’ll smooth over just fine… thanks again Lee. While I am here, I notice the lack of “Captain” in your screen name, instead you have “Chief Mate.” This suggests a more serious psychosis than your standard “Captain” complex. May I recommend a good therapist for your validation issues, it’s the same one Anchorman sees for his Oedipal Complex. Since you have been posting here a whole 10 months longer than me, I graciously offer the final word. ---
