I'm a Free Agent ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the last few months, I've come to the conclusion that it is time for me to take some time away from here. Over the past almost 10 years, I've come to value the friendships that I've made as well as the discussions over a topic that we are so passionate about - the University of Washington.
As a kid, the only school I wanted to attend was the University of Washington. The only school I applied to as an Undergraduate was to the University of Washington. It's a place that has opened numerous doors to me in life and has given me far more than I could ever explain in words.
Over the years, I've come to understand how great of a University this place is and how lucky so many of us are to live in this part of the world. We are truly blessed to be able to do so. We offer so many things that so many other places can only dream of. The University as a whole takes a backseat to nobody. It's a World Class University in every way, shape, and form.
If there's one thing that I hope most people have learned about me over the last 10 years, it's that the only thing I care about with respect to the University of Washington is that its perception is that of excellence ... a perception that matches what it is. I don't have an agenda other than that ... regardless of what some may think.
I look forward to the bright future of the UW. I look forward to having programs that represent the very best of what we are. I look forward to spending New Years Day at the Rose Bowl in the not too distant future.
So I thank so many of you who have made the last 10 years or so so enjoyable for me. I would be remiss to name anybody by name as doing so would only result in me forgetting to name somebody. I look forward to seeing many of you in the future whether it be in Seattle, Hawaii this August/September, or future road/bowl trips.
Best wishes for the future,
Tequilla

disagree
classy poast
etc

I don't think the UW is "world class."
-
PLU is
-
***Poof***
Not in the middle of the store. -
You should have started with "later guys" and ended with something about Bob Crawley eating himself to death.
-
stanford, MIT, carnegie mellon... --> World Class
-
No hardcore husky mention?
-
People only say something is "world class" if it isn't.
-
Jim Mcilvaine.
-
You should have just used the "take the gloves off" rant but substituted "Kim Grinolds" in place of "Race Bannon".
-
It's TOO classy.

Too soon?MikeDamone said:You should have started with "later guys" and ended with something about Bob Crawley eating himself to death.

Can AspergerofGrief not hijack this thread pls, thanks.
@tequila we have all been there. Well, most of us. It wasnt always this terrible, but Rome has fallen and the iliterate Visigoths are running the asylum. -
Why am I not surprised ...
A couple of things are awesome about that:
1) I posted the same message above here ... so it's not like my words can be "twisted"
2) At what point in my message did I say anything that was tied to anything disparaging about "the bizness," any personal shot at Kimmie and the staff, or anything of the sort? None was made - it was purely saying thank you to my friends over time.
You have to be a little maggot of a man to go after someone's character to the point that you marginalize a (former) paying customer and then when that (former) paying customer takes the high road (despite numerous personal attacks the little maggot and his staff) by thanking his friends for their friendship over the years, you delete the thread like it doesn't exist.
I actually find it amusing that a certain someone told me about a month ago to start taking screen shots to avoid "twisting." -
Lots of twisting going on.
-
it was deleted? yikes
-
So what? You already knew they were fucking donkeys, which, I assume, is why you were signing off in the first place.Tequilla said:Why am I not surprised ...

Wash your hands and be done with them. Those fucktards aren't worth worrying about if that's the kind of crap they pull. -
I'd love to see his reaction the next time someone accuses him of deleting posts that he doesn't agree with, etc. and they point out any number of the posts he's deleted of mine in the last 24 hours ...
I also find it amusing that he's left posts up where shots are taken of me but any comments I make back (which while still maintaining civility and respect) are deleted.
It's really simple, if you don't fall inline with the "popular opinion," your point of view is deleted and you are marginalized off to the corner. Fortunately there are enough people that have experienced this over time that are able to call a spade a spade. -
That was a lot classier than the pm I sent to Kim when I quit over there
-
Did you apologize for that mean message by messaging some citrus?bananasnblondes said:That was a lot classier than the pm I sent to Kim when I quit over there
-
That message was deleted? wow
-
I quit in 2002. You are far more patient than me.
-
Holy shit, I read that and was thinking what a complete white wash, you're a pussy Tequila. Then I read it got deleted. Seriously? That is about as meek as you can possibly make it. That site is such a fucking joke. I wish I had all the screenshots I needed.
-
The message wasn't about calling out the staff for whatever they should be called out for ... who gives a shit. As I've said often, actions speak far louder than words. I've heard enough comments over the last couple of months to know that there are a lot of long standing people that have a piss poor opinion of the leadership. I don't need to point that out publicly in a manner that is disrespectful. Sticking with the facts and someone's own words is plenty good enough in that regard.
The post was all about thanking friends for their friendship while making sure that it was crystal clear that I've never changed my views of the UW - nothing more and nothing less. -
Is Race not ready to "throw down?"
Has he not taken the gloves off?
It's high time we end this shit once and for all.
What say you, Hills? -

Is think you should have asked Kim to get down into a pissing match and roll about the GLORIOUS Sark years.Tequilla said:The message wasn't about calling out the staff for whatever they should be called out for ... who gives a shit.

ok, a vote up for sincerity and all that, but two questions come to mind:Tequilla said:My words - so I'm thinking I'm free to use them as I see fit. What follows is my "retirement" announcement from another site:

1. why do you give a shit about Grinolds?
2. why do you give a shit about Grinolds?
also, i am still astonished that little cum slurper got anyone to pay him $10, even once.
i can say proudly that I'm a charter member of the "never paid for dawgfag" club. that motherfucker's lack of access was pretty fucking transparent pretty fucking early on. he was like Costanza - anything he predicted was sure to wind up happening the opposite way. he actually has a knack for fucking up a story. and then there's that fat fucker who swoops in from left field, always trying so hard to one-line everyone, and doing it so poorly. what an utter lack of wit.
that place is truly a train wreck now. every single poaster with a mental pulse is gone. you actually have a forum now where Oregondawg takes the lead. think about that.
