Al Eschbach

[onthestrip]

Why do I get the feeling that in all of Al's Thailand trips hes spending less time on a quiet beach and more time being up to sinister things in Bangkok?

On edit: didnt see the previous post addressing this.

[Dave Cook]

Hey, don't get me wrong, I like Al and have over the years, but I think those rumors wouldn't be nearly as persistent if he didn't lace virtually every afternoon on-air comment with sex-related jokes, some that get more than a little weird, so to a great degree he perpetuates it himself.

Point taken. I totally agree.....Al doesn't help himself with his old school chauvinism and tacky jokes (and Traber's attempts to change the subject are hilarious) but I still don't think his jabs at humor warrant accusations of traveling abroad for sex with a minor. Those are serious allegations on the OU board.

Yes. It's stupid. There are about 20,000 people registered on that board and there are like a dozen trolls who say dumb things like that.

Yeah that's one of the reasons I never really jumped on LandThieves once OUInsider died, and while I at least have an account over there, and post occasionally, they do tend to enjoy the rancid a bit more than I care for....just gets a little ugly over there for my taste.

As you would imagine, it's a much more harmonious place after that tremendous bowl game.

Wow.

He is an arrogant plick who is substantially more ignorant than he or his Gumby brained listeners believe. If he was drowning I would throw him a concrete cinder block.

You know, we all work our way through this thing called life. Some do "better"...some do "worse" (whatever that means). But I know this - nobody - not one of us is perfect. Nobody. One that doesn't meet "our" standards (especially when there's no atrocities or murder involved) shouldn't be wished with the loss of their life. That's far more cruel than anything Al has done on the radio.

My personal, in reality, contacts with Al belied his on-air persona. He was, in reality, a helpful gentleman, who was kind enough to provide me with an autographed copy of a guide to The Best of Kansas City BBQ when he returned from one of his broadcasting expeditions to points unknown.

Am I now to assume that MustangGT drivers are douchebags?
(usurping the place formerly occupied by BMW drivers in conjunction with porcupines regarding the relative location of the pricks?)
Yeah. I think that's about right.

(oh. wait. you typed plick. (an unintentional slur to those of the oriental persuasion?)
fer sure: illiterate douchbags driving virtual Mustangs dis Al.

Easy, man...c'mon.

[Bigrayok]

Al was back on the radio today.

I didn't catch Al's show but I heard BBJ say he had returned from Bali. I can see why he goes back. The Gili Islands have probably the most beautiful water and sealife I've ever seen.....although I can't see Al snorkeling.

That OU board is something else. This quote is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on the internet.

"smells fishy to me. Not judging , but there's not much else to do in Thailand."

Talk about clueless...it's particularly funny coming from a guy in Oklahoma.....the tourism capitol of the United States.

Considering that Bali and the Gili Islands are in Indonesia instead of Thailand, that is a laugher.

Yes, the two are such radically different climates and so distant from and disparate to each other. LOL

Instead of complaining about it here, why don't you go over there and tell 'em. I know you have an account because I've seen you there.

LT isn't really all that different from Shaggy, but with less drawings of wieners.

I may be wrong, but I think the guy who started LT purposely wanted to make it an OU version of Shaggy with a particular bent toward the NSFW content, which is why I'm not there very often. Just not my thing; problem is there aren't a lot of really good OU boards around since OUInsider changed itself around amid all kinds of hurt feelings a couple years back. I know its still around in name, but its not the same place at all.

Keep wondering if a more "family friendly" OU board might gain any traction. Hard to start things like that these days, though, I guess.

[okcboomer]

Really? All this obsession with Al is a little on the sick side.

[MustangGT]

RM I have my opinion based upon several personal contacts that sickened me and you have yours. Neither is anymore valuable or valid than the other. To educate you I used the word plick to get around the profanity filter. YOU are the one who brought up it being used as a slight to another group of folks. That tells the world where you biases are. Again his obit will not be sad news at my house. There are a lot of folks in that boat so he is not so special to be in at alone.

[OKCisOK4me]

I don't think the vacation helped Al one bit. I actually had it on WWLS last night and he's still his usual filthy, rabid self.

See yaaaaaaaaaaaa........

[soonerguru]

I thought Al sounded refreshed. He was in a very jovial mood. Sue me, but I like Al.

I sit corrected, and educated, Sir. (yet I am still biased)
(p.s. i had a feeling that your use of the word "plick" was a clever method of getting around that robotic censorship sh!t yet wanted to see how easy it was to push your buttons. i apologize and assure you that it won't happen again.)

I like Al too, both on air and the few times I've spoken to him while having dinner and a cold one at one of my favorite establishments that must be his also. But, it really does get old when he talks non-stop about "midget strippers", "lady-boy cabaret", etc. He knows and can talk sports with anybody but he doesn't talk sports much these days. I think they get good ratings though so if it works it works.

I didn't know OUI was even still around.

It died a horrible death. It got to where you'd go there and there'd hardly be any new post for days. That's when I went to LT. And yes, the guy that started it based it on Shaggy. I understand what you mean though. On OUI there was one guy, DM, who really pushed the envelope of being a total jerk. On LT, everyone was being DM. In fact, DM is one of the more tame guys now.

Just so you guys know, LandThieves has a style (choose it on the lower left corner of any page) that filters out anything not safe for work.

I miss OU Insider... I was a poster, then a moderator than an administrator. I learned a lot about message boards from that experience.

I really like the guys that run LandThieves but it's way too out of control for my tastes. I prefer more intelligent, less sophomoric discussion and there don't seem to be any limits over there at all, which in the Internet world leads to all kinds of crazy and often hateful outbursts.


It's a very difficult call about setting tone and moderating but once you let the barn doors swing fully open, it's impossible to close them.

I remember you from OUI. And if memory serves, weren't you on LT at the outset?

Your posts are absolutely hideous. What a sad person you must be.
