*** Without a doubt - the single most embarrasing, shameful part of American history. Stuff like that is NEVER funny.

I'm sorry, Dave, but you are missing something. My post was a reply to the most delirious thing that I have ever read; while I was submitting my post, it was deleted -I suppose by our administrator (ask him for more details). I suppose that our "friend from Canton" is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Is this a KB forum or what???
Keep Playin!

What....what....
Nuthin' by Radio Shack???
I'm sorry but I'm completely disillusioned,
I'd better go lie down.

No, it was me who deleted it. It sounded funny in my head but when I read it online a minute later I thought somebody might take offense (even though it wasn't meant that way). You see, the family I grew up in would say the craziest things to each other but none of it was ever taken seriously. We were all jokesters and pranksters. We had a lot of fun growing up together. Still, the problem I keep running into is that nobody can tell when I joking.

So, try this . . . whenever you read one of my posts, think of a man with a gray beard standing on one leg holding a banana cream pie in one hand and whistling Dixie (a mighty fine tune). Then say to yourself, "is this guy serious?" The answer should be "no."

There's not a single person on this forum that I don't think the world of, even if I poke fun at them sometimes. Remember, it's always in fun and not only do I dish it out, I expect some hits in return (don't mind them a bit). So far, Uncle Dave is the only one that really caught on . . . and he can give a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

As far as KKK in Ohio -- never seen one but it might be in my drawer . . . lose a lot of stuff in there. I'll look tonight.

Best regards to all,
Steve

He got ya Steve !

Steve, Steve...

Steve, Steve...
I told you, remember?
Once you click the "submit" button, it's gone!
I too read your post, and I didn't think it was fun at all.
Do you think it's fun referring to dutch immigrants as "stone skins"?
Do you think it's fun saying "I don't know why people from second rate countries like Holland, England, France, Sweden, Germany, Balkans, Brazil, etc are so arrogant?"
Do you think it's fun wishing for those "tiny bity" countries a future in which they would be granted "US statehood" provided they would become "more americans"?
The only thing I found funny was the last line: "Long live President Clinton. Viva la Hillary".
I am sorry for you, boy.

I'm still lurking in the shadows. My buddy Steve would never intentionally hurt anybody. (Waylon Jennings had a song out with that line in it.)
I also have to curtail my sense of humor sometimes because there are people on this forum from many nations and cultures. Comments you would make to friends in your own culture can be easily misinterpreted by those of another culture.
Americans (whatever that means) are infamous kidders. Also compounding this problem, if there is one, is the fact that people of other nationalities take the time and trouble to learn "our" language but we much more rarely know theirs. It's sometimes difficult when communicating in writing to interpret a person's true meaning, because you don't see his sly smile, or the tongue-in-cheek visage.
I'm certain there is no one on this forum who bears ill feeling toward anyone else. (Well there was the infamous Rasheed, but that's another story.)
I can never take Steve seriously again, now that I have the new image imbedded in my mind.
Let's talk about music. Back to the topic of this string. I didn't vote because I am fickle and I like nearly all the keyboards. It isn't important to me what the other people like best, just what suits me best from all that are available.
