Flame wars can be pretty funny to read. What do you guys think of having a thread devoted to flaming (with moderator permission of course)? I think it would be great for letting off steam.

No. I hope it doesn't.
For it to be moved, someone would have to post something inappropriate. And if someone posted something inappropriate in the general forum, that someone might have to spend some time in the brig or even walk the plank. And I'd sure hate for that to happen.
If you want something in W&C, then go to W&C yourself and say it there. When a moderator has to move something to W&C, it means someone screwed up. And that someone may have to be dealt with.
A word to the wise... ya falla'?

Want to see flames? Visit one of the Treo-650 user forums and ask a newbie question to which you couldn't find an answer using the Search function. :barf:
Been there, done that, ain't goin' back. I prefer to hang out with ADULTS - like in BFC. (and to me, being an "adult" has nothing to do with chronological age - there are teenagers here in BFC who are more mature than some of the people who frequent those other forums I've visited recently.)

Sounds like you don't have a clue. How about using the search funtion and reading some of the longer threads before you post something like that.

I've been trying for ages to remember where that quote comes from. Just the other night that very movie came on TV. First time I've seen it for 30 years.Boink said:
BTW, it's Aintry, not Aintree. I distictly remember it from the sign on the door of the Sherrif's car.
Just thought you'd like to know that.

Deliverance trivia:
Toothless Herbert "Cowboy" Coward, a veteran of Wild West Shows, and Billy McKinney, a Los Angeles tree surgeon, portrayed the two hillbillies. McKinney later played a ruthless Union officer in Clint Eastwoods The Outlaw Josey Wales. Coward had once performed with Reynolds at the "Ghost Town in the Sky" theme park in Maggie Valley, North Carolina.
The hit song, "Dueling Banjos," was actually derived from a 50s banjo tune called "Feudin Banjos" by Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. In fact, Smith sued and was awarded royalties from the filmmakers.
The most famous local used in the film was Billy Redden, the retarded banjo player listed as "Lonny" in the credits. According to Christopher Dickey, Redden couldnt even fake the banjo playing and "the scene was set up with Billy sitting on a kind of swinging bench, and another boy hidden beneath it, whose left hand up Billys sleeve was faking the fingerwork for the camera."
The "squeal like a pig" scene was filmed in one take, a good thing since Beatty said he wouldnt do it again. To this day, he wont discuss that scene.
