OK... How About "SALOONIES"

[Subdeacon Joe]

So there!

===================

The thread about political ads already showing up got me thinking about the people who are at least semi-regular posters here.

 

My impression is that, in general, Saloontonics are both more intelligent and better educated than is the norm.  We have, or had, several MDs, DVMs, engineers of various sorts military officers - including several graduates of the US Military Academy and the US Naval Academy , senior enlisted, law enforcement officers, medics, and truck drivers to name a few.  I know I left out a bunch.

 

In general, people in those lines of work aren't dummies.  Everyone is capable of the occasional stupid stunt or bad decision, but in my opinion, a pretty high power bunch of people.

As I said, I know that I left out a bunch.

 

But, yeah, those in the trades, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, machinists, welders, mechanics, etc. are in general pretty sharp.

The term is Saloonatic.

 

Saloontonic?

I agree totally, I’ve learned lots of different things in this saloon!

Are you sure? Maybe he meant Saloontonics. 

[Alpo]

I thought a Saloontonic was booze.

[Subdeacon Joe]

OK...... how about 

 

Saloonies?

[DeaconKC]

Salooniacs?

[Alpo]

We've been Saloonatics since the 90s - since the days of Flint Westwood (and his hugemidor) and Black Harris (and the nursifyin' nuns) and Sierra Jack Cassidy (with his jar full of corks) and Chip Tosser (with his coffee jerky)  and Suzee Silk Knickers (ah, Suzee) and Toostone.

 

I see no sense in changing our name.

This place and the people and pretty much everything about it is nothing like what it was years ago. Things change.

Not without a good reason. There's no reason to change what we call ourselves. It's "Saloonatics".

I am not talking about names. I am talking about the Saloon then and the Saloon now. 
You can call yourself whatever you like. 

Quite honestly, there are only a couple of people that I see hear now that were here then. They would definitely be “Saloonatics”. Just as everyone that hangs out here now can be Saloonatics if they like. I don’t really care. My point was this Saloon is definitely nothing like the original Saloon. 
THINGS CHANGE!
 

[Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663]

Well, at least this here saloon still lets in some low-down, high-smellin' ne'er-do-wells.

 

Even a few SaLooney Tooneytics too!

Things DO change. There's no denying that. WE change. I'm certainly not the same guy I was in my misspent youth. But being a long time Saloonatic gives me, and hopefully the rest of us a connection with those that came before, some still here, some long gone, and those yet to come.

Ah, Birdgun, I was actually in the process of developing a Limerick utilizing Saloon, Looney-toons, Saloonatics, etc…

I went to bed defeated in my quest. 
I do believe we have a couple of Yosemite Sam types here though…

I fancy myself as the rooting tooteness fella there is.

 

I will say I think there is a mixture of education by schooln' and life experiance that lends to a higher average level of conversations here.

 

I have enjoyed my short time here and gotten an actual answer from at least one person on ever question I've asked Which is not the case on most forums.

One Gun, what you say is all good and well...  But....how do you feel about SASS approving a Baptist Category?

Would there even be anybody allowed in the category besides the original requester?

It’s a loaded question, One Gun and there’s no dancing in the Baptist Category.
