i have NO idea what you are referring to with hte "no ass" comment- perhaps you were thinking of his posterior while on the tee box but i dont see why you feel the need to attribute to me??
geez only 12 games? felt like a year in solitary... not a particularly bright spot in my career- Germany was terrific- nice to actually be on the ice and play in crucial points of a game again- a good way to end a career but not for everybody- and yes, we walked over to checkpoint charlie and thbrandenburg gate and watvhed them take the wall down- in many ways, more surreal than Lake Placid....

Dave,

1980:  US defeats Russia in historic Olympic game--you were there
1989: Berlin Wall falls--you were there

Were you Forrest Gump, a CIA operative, or both?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Doug:

Don't  believe everything he tells you.

Silky also has a Bible at his house and on the inside page it's signed, "Thanks for your help with the boat. Your Friend, Noah."

Happy Thanksgiving Dave

Don't worry about that last post- If Barney is hounding you "you must be doing something right".

I guess I was out of line.  It must have been tough for Dave to be back in the limelight after all these years and see this thread going to the second page.  He did wait six hours before pulling it back to the top and we do only have three other meaningless Thanksgiving threads on which he could have posted.

The holidays always have a way of mucking up interesting conversation.

you are SO right- why are we having FUN when we could be debating whether or not asian culture is having an effect on the american golf model. Now there's some exciting debate!! I travel quite a bit and have trouble falling asleep on the "red-eye" but not ahymore... i will just reread your thrill a minute posts-
at any rate, take this as an au revoir or whatever they say in Mexico-
Peace

PS Ran, thanks for all of your hard work, good luck and godspeed.

All I have for partners is Tom Paul, Mike Cirba, Jeff Silverman, Steve Sayers, Andy Scanlon, Steve Shaffer, Powell Arms and Mike Malone down here.  :-\  Bill Dow travels too much so I'm in need of some serious partner upgrading.  

Wayne

what happened to Sulli? Don't you get to play with him much? Was that a rare treat for both of us, to see such a genuine, smooth player in action?

Happy thanksgiving guys.

James,

I wouldn't include Jim Sullivan and Jamie Slonis in the same category as those clowns.  If I mentioned these two class acts, Tony and Dave wouldn't sense an acute need for better partners and leave their cozy New England for Philadelphia.  But then again, the lure of Philly golf, cheesesteaks and Yeungling should've been enough.  I find they do help overcome overdoses of Mike Malone and his infamous Malonisms  ;)

I just saw this, thinking I'd stop in the old GCA.com for a little light hearted banter before retiring on a full Thanksgiving meal and enjoying the remainders of the day.

What a %#@*&ing pity.  Another arrogant and meanspirited comment chases a first class golf and golf design loving all-american sports figure away from the treehouse because it is ultimately true, that a guy like Dave really don't need that or need to put up with that horsehockey from Barney.  

Kavanaugh, you couldn't carry DS's jock and you never have or will accomplished half of what he has in your life.  You're just becoming and insufferable P&*^cK.

I used to enjoy some of the off the wall, Barney stuff.  But, the comments really have disintegrating to a series of looney anti-social utterances of a guy who seems really troubled deep down.  I guess there is that fine line between razor sharp wit and desparate cries for help and attention.

This recent competition of who can post the most off the wall stuff and most biting satire or ridicule has become downright derision and insult.  It has been infecting some otherwise pretty smart people.  I fear this is going to be a very long 'hot stove league' winter season here on  GCA.com if such nasty grams keep getting exchanged, me included.  

Perhaps a break is needed.   :-[

Don't construe this as support for JK's comments, but one check into the boards and he takes himself out of the game?

The real lesson in this thread is in Dr. Geoff's reply #57, especially if you remember the history there.

Caution: Blatant attempt at foul-drawing...

I wouldn't know Dave Silk from Crushed Silk, but he must have been one right great girly wuss of a hockey player if one swing of the Kavanaugh handbag sends him scurrying to the subs bench. (can one scurry on ice skates?)

Dave,
there's 1498 other GCAers who are delighted to have you around here. The Raynor crew, especially, need all the help they can get.

Get your great, hairy, padded-shorted butt back in the game, bucko! (I used to coach a little ;))

best wishes,
BigFatIceMon.

There's no 'just becoming' about it.

Barney can take whatever he has ever been good at and multiply it by a thousand and that's how good Dave Silk was at hockey.  Funny, I never saw him talking about his accomplishments (which include one of the greatest American triumphs ever)... it is always SOMEONE ELSE that brings them up.  When that happens, Dave, who I've never met, seems good-natured and understanding.

Oh well, surely the defenders will be quick to point out how Jaka's really a nice guy.

Make fun of those displace or dying by fires lately?  Call anyone you don't know gay for no reason?

It reminds me of Kramer and Jerry talking about cancer jokes.
