That Masked Man Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Question: We're not allowed to have anything "modern" in our Avatar photos, so will someone please explain WHY IN THE HELL we're looking at a friggin Delorean in the banner across the top of this page? I appreciate SASS' byline and all, but I thought we were going for an OLD WEST theme here?!! Put the graphic on the SASS homepage if you must, but please get it off the forum! I say let's 86 that automobile graphic and either replace it with nothing, or something more appropriate to the Old West! What say ye?
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 . To be honest, the DeLorean, doesn't bug me nearly as much as the modern 3x3 table featured in the old SASS "Time Machine" banners. There's a picture of a Cowboy in trail duds, blowing copious amounts of smoke from his splattergun, with the damn 1980s industrial pedestal table right in the damn foreground. May I suggest a tarted up stagecoach as our time machine?
Spanish Bit Bobb Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 dont bother me either...but I vote fer Badger's 1950 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with tha boolit holes in tha radiator pitcher.
Wahoo Kid Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Aargh, Sounds like the winds of a mutiny are a blowin!!
That Masked Man Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 May I suggest a tarted up stagecoach as our time machine? I like it. Didn't Jules Verne write a story about a Time Machine? I wonder what that one looked like. I'd much rather see a "steampunk" version than what's up there now...better it says 'Jules Verne' than 'Michael J Fox' ... No offense to Mr Fox intended.
Grizzly Dave Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Wife came out to see what I was up to the other day and asked "why is there a car on the banner for your cowboy forum?" I explained the whole time machine thing, she just rolled her eyes. I understand the whole time machine back to the future reference, but it's a bit obscure, I think there should be a stage coach in it's place, forget the whole time machine thing, that's the least important part of the whole tagline. JMO YMMV
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 No big deal to me - besides the The DeLorean was used in the 'Back to the Future III' when they went back to the wild west GG ~
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Next thing I know, you guys will be complaining about me wearing white cotton socks under my boots. If you read the ad for SASS it is the nearest thing to the old west outside of a time machine. Personally, I would have selected a horse, but that is just me I guess.

Big Jake1001 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Maybe the guy who put the car there isn't old enough to remember the 1960 movie with the "Time Machine" http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/102/252535455_e96040de20.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/samoca/252535455/&usg=__UYe74UVPBhYWhOV4fH85Wsi4mkA=&h=375&w=500&sz=112&hl=en&start=122&zoom=1&tbnid=voD1ZmzyF3gxbM:&tbnh=167&tbnw=228&ei=FBJHTamxOJOCsQO13dWoCg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpic%2Bof%2Btime%2Bmachine%2Bfrom%2B1960%2Bmovie%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1357%26bih%3D679%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C3611&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=626&vpy=250&dur=5871&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=103&ty=78&oei=ABJHTZ6jDoessAO8wrWeCg&esq=7&page=7&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:122&biw=1357&bih=679 Big Jake

Lazarus Longshot, SASS #44254 Life Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I like it. Didn't Jules Verne write a story about a Time Machine? I wonder what that one looked like.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 We're not allowed to have anything "modern" in our Avatar photos, We're not supposed to....but check some of them out.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 How modern could this avatar be? BH has a good point tho. Spring, ah sweet smell of spring. Are we in Chicago yet?

Delorean? I just figured that "Deloran" was a deffective hag to go alone with what those cylinderess pistols (1911?) Yankee Cartbaggers been selling some of you Cowpokes....

Wells. And here's the time machine from the movie they made of his book: http://www.toplessro...e%20Machine.jpg Thanks for setting me straight on the author, LL - and thanks to you and Big Jake both for digging up a "authentic" 19th Century time machine, that is pretty cool. The pic that Jake found is extra nice - I'd cast my vote for that as SASS' time machine, were it up for election Of course, before someone beats me to it I'll acknowledge that few folks today would recognize and associate it with a "time machine". A darn shame since (according to Wikipedia, for what that's worth) Wells invented the term "time machine", and his novella was first published in - wait for it - 1895
ShadowCatcher Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I sure will be happy when winter is over BH So - I'm reading on the internet, via my computer, that someone is incensed about a car that was used as a time machine being shown on a cowboy site! I find irony to be so ironic . . . . . . Shadow Catcher

And that was Makers Mark darn it.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Lemme see....Does this bother me?? I reckon not.

And that was Makers Mark darn it. Been there - done that - and NO, coke tastes as bad going either direction! I like MM with a touch of water - just enough to open it up - but I'll drink it any way you want to pour for me (as long as you leave the fizzy water out!) Ride safe, Shadow Catcher
