   I will NOT cop to being an idiot, but if you pin me down-yeah, I’m an asshole, sometimes. But I’m NOT useless. I’m good for changing light bulbs, opening pickle jars and mowing the yard. Oh yeah, and I change the oil in three vehicles, regular as clockwork.

   I think trobe is a unisex word. Fits me to a T! 😛

   My mistake. I thought this was a picture of Rush Limbaugh BEFORE the plastic surgery.

   In some places (like the good old U.S.A.) being called an asshole just proves you’re doing the job right. 😈

   sessions in the back seats of Studebakers?

   Trobes are not entirely useless. I can perch them on my roof to scare away the pigeons. 🙄

   I don’t believe anyone in Zillaland qualifies to be a Trobe 😳 :kiss: …save the sultan of Cleveland…

    Studebaker? Good God man, how old are you? I had to Google it just to figure out what the hell you were referring to. I was quite relieved to find out it was an automobile.

    Guys I date tend to have two seaters, so it’s more like working around a gearshift (in more ways than one). 😛

    It’s not Rush. I didn’t puke when I looked at it. Just gagged a little.

    Old enough not to be wet behind the ears, but my
    dad swore by Studebakers. When they quit making
    them in the ’60s, it broke his heart. 😛 😮 😆 🙄

    Rip the guy in the picture all you want to, but from what I have learned about hot young guys, when it comes to a broken pipe spewing water all over my basement or needing my car towed off the on-ramp at 3 a.m. b/c the transmission is on the corner of 39th and Kavenaugh, THIS GUY is the man to call. If a hot young guy shows up, he won’t have the first clue what plumber’s dope is, but he’ll have a stupid sophomoric joke about how to use it.

    I use to own one. A white ’62 GT Hawk with a 289, 4 barrel, and a 4 speed. Beautiful car.

    AnnieB, the best two seater that I owned was a rodded ’51 Chevy Panel. There was plenty of room for you to take care of business while I was driving and then I could just toss you in the back when you were done. 😈 :wang:

    My best makeout mobile was a 69 Dodge Tradesman 200 van. She came with 2 seats and bare cargo area. I carpeted and paneled that thing and bolted a couch/hide-a-bed in the back. No fancy paint job, tho. Just plain white. I found that the girl’s dad didn’t get so worked up seeing a plain, white van pull up. She had the 318 V8 and would get up and go like a violated ape at a banana store. Now I see these commercials for the Honda minivan saying “The van is back…” Bullshit. I remember REAL vans… Sighhh…

    It was pretty cool sitting in my boss’s office working a deal and while he was typing I just kept saying, “trobe, trobe, trobe, trobity, trobe……….”

    Unfornunately when he was done all I could say was “stedge”

    Umm, Dave… I don’t mean to be a Trobe, but shouldn’t that be a noun, and not an adjective?

24. Chris S

    07 October, 2007, 6:20 am

    Although I am not a trobe I am feeling a little trobish today. I need more :java:
    I hope I don’t trobe too many people today in a trobely way. Even after a good stedging I still feel the trobocity around me. I think I’m getting too old for those late saturday night drink-a-thons. Especally when my troberific neighbors and their trobetastic kids wake us up at 7AM. Friggin’ trobey bastards.

    You can be a trobe (n) or be trobe or trobish if you prefer adj. The word silly is both noun and adjective depending on usage and trobe is the same.

    BTW, Jason gets credit for inventing the word.

    It can also be used as a transitive verb, as in “Kenn just trobed Dave.”

    So being trobe alishis would not win one any points I take it?

    Is that because Dave tried to stedge Ken?

    Dave stedged us all. Again.

    According to Urban Dictionary a trobe (trobism) is (tagged as) someone who goes to that place, university, LaTrobe, to learn but fail miserably due to alcoholism.

    Yes! Got into LaTrobe, goodbye liver!

    I can’t seem to recall but I’m pretty sure I went there …

    See Dave this is what happens when you don’t give us something new to chew on. We start turning on you. 😛

    I think “trobe” fits that guy perfectly. According to him, learning is just a theory so I think he meets the trobe criteria.

    La Trobe U. also has a Dr. Tim Bach. If Dr. Bach was named after his uncle he would be Tim Bach II (timbuktu)

    I don’t know if this qualifies as “trobish” but I accidentally broke a leather belt and a mirror the other night trying to pull open a door that was jammed. More of a dumb blonde moment actually. 😛

42. Meagan

    10 October, 2007, 3:59 pm

    BTW, the reason I haven’t been around is because I don’t have internet at this new place I’m staying. I’M DYING OVER THERE! SOMEONE PLEASE SEND WIRELESS!!!

    The breaking of a leather belt and a mirror while trying to unjam a door is intriguing, how is this possible? :geek:

    Especially when all you had to do was PUSH the door open… 😈

45. Meagan

    12 October, 2007, 2:09 pm

    Okay, let me explain. The door is old and slightly too big for the door frame. Also, it opens into my room so I have to push it to close and pull to open. I guess I pushed too hard and it got stuck. I tried twisting the knob and pulling on it but it wouldn’t budge. So, figuring I needed something with more grip, I grabbed my leather belt and looped it around the knob. I pulled on it too hard and it snapped in half, propelling me backwards into a mirror. And that’s how I came to be down one belt and up seven years of bad luck. 😳

    Maybe you should have an ‘invisible’ door like Les Nessman from ‘WKRP in Cincinatti’…
