ok, i do this at GREAT personal risk... but basically waiting for the rest of the family to get up as we are "Doing the Puyallup" today which is of course the Puyallup Fair, also known by its official title "The Western Washington State Fair" (there is actually only a very small handful of people that know this) iow, i am bored and killing time right now... so i got to thinking that we have several people here that seem to have taken on specific roles at PC. now maybe i am way off in my perceptions so i invite anyone here to provide their views or add, so i begin Tidelands Prius; he is our researcher or "fact checker" also the reporter. Tony Schaefer is the "administrator, he helps newbies find their way around and has intimate knowledge of the website efusco is the "enforcer" he keeps people in line... Jayman is the "instructor" he is the one to go to for in depth "way over my head" info on many different things. Bob Wilson is our "statistician" he provides the graphs, stats, and he is the one who uses his cars as the "guinea pigs" to test the extreme parameters that we choose (or are too chicken, like me) not to try. ok, now its early, still on first cup of coffee. (which is the same as) i know i have left people out, but that is what you all people are here for... to keep me in line. so have at it!! **edit** after several posts from the wonderful people here, many need to be added to the list John 1701 A ; "Prius Evangelist" darelldd; Promoter for Prius IV (the EV version of course!!) Rae vynn; Resident Vegan Witch au natural' daniel ; the Debater, Conscientious Objector, and our resident expert on Civil Disobedience F8L; Resident Naturalist and Environmental Guide Doc Willie; Star Fleet Representative 4th Quadrant hyo silver; NW Trekker patsparks; Our "Balancer". he provides the "upside down, inside out and backwards" view here. without him, the World would be flat in many ways FireEngineer; National EBH Installer (will do housecalls!!) HObbit; HSD Wizard Ken@Japan; Our liaison, experimenter and interpreter and lastly; Danny; Chief Enabler additional input welcome
KK6PD, Electronics, RF, Custom installs, and a FIRM believer in NO TV/DVD players in front of the Driver!!! Use a Bluetooth in the car, and for Christ's sake NO TEXTING while driving!!!
ah DIY'er good category... wow a lot of people could be that... Wayne, Presto, hmmm that would be tough one.
fact checker... lol. nice. Darrelld our EV nut msantos our Honda associated (keeps us updated on IMA's inner workings and other IMA news)
Paradox - detail man (everything you wanted to know about keeping your Prius beautiful outside and in) edit: we could give him the title Details Details or shorten it to D2
LOL well when I was new to the site nearly 2 1/2 years ago I would refer to you with my friends as being my Arch Nemesis. Everything you typed always seemed to be opposite of my position. Now all of a sudden you usually make a lot of practical sense so you are no longer on my list of people to cause Chaos.
I noticed your signature has that bit about praying and naked dancing. I'm still thinking of a catchy line, but have to warn you I'm terrible at these word games Um .... huggable cat lover? Now Tom, when I shared my Evil Secret Chili Recipe with you, I distinctly recall warning you of all the side effects
I'll nominate Hobbit as HSD Wizard. He sees clearly where the rest of us stumble. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clarke Patrick Wong would be Brainiac, when he speaks, it's best to listen. Mike Dimmick would be The Perfessor. Always rock solid info, A+/A+. Daniel would be The Seeker. He goes where few men would dare, and always is an example of an authentic, genuine Gentle_man. For reasons I can't quite put my finger on, I'll nominate Rae Vynn as... Queen of the Cosmic Roller Derby. (Love ya' hon.)
Wow, so much for trying to give a compliment You strike me as a person who enjoys bear hugs. I know I'm not shy of them
Keep going Jay... soon nobody's gonna drop by . Then Msantos is gonna be annoyed and John will have to pay you a visit from down south to set things straight. Evan might even join in =P
"Huggable" seemed to suggest something rather more intimate than a friendly bear hug. There's hugs, and then there's hugs...
