Your perception of yourself is one of the many reasons people find you delusional. Of course, all our time in this life is limited. You even more so because you are so old. You've exceeded the average life span for a man so good for you, but you are on borrowed time. I would think you would want to spend it more wisely.

So, now, like conker, you are just copying my lines. People have a fairly good idea of my life from the over decade I've been posting on this board. I hardly think anybody truly believes I am sad and lonely. You now know with certainty that I come from a big family. And it doesn't just stop there when you count my other Catholic breeding relatives here on the island. As for you, you live in the past. No recent pics of you with anyone. Just one time thumbs up pics of bbers you knew in the 70s and 80s.

And your senility is really setting in. I've spoken many times over the years about my past marriage and you even asked about it specifically some years back. I think it might have been on IronAge. No, I don't have children, which you may, should have, remembered was the reason my marriage ended. She wanted children of her own and I wanted to adopt. My profession gave me a very dim view of the world and I soon concluded there is far, far more bad than good in this world and I could bring a new life into the world with a clear conscious. But I was happy to provide for someone less fortunate and adopt. Still, I'm not sure what kind of status having children gives one and you think is something to brag about. Anybody can have children. There are far more people who do have children shouldn't but that's another subject.

It was a chasm that couldn't be reconciled with.

BTW, I am not the only one that does not have children. I also have a brother, a colonel in the Army, that is also without any children. Your research seems to be rather spotty.

I never wanted to set up a "studio" in Hawaii. I'm not even sure what kind of "studio" you had in mind. It's true, I wouldn't mind opening a gym but don't have the resources. Apparently, neither do you. But it was never a driving ambition of mine. Just a "would be nice." Not like you who did own a gym but failed and went bankrupt and you lost a lot of money and your life's work. Another of the many reasons you are so angry and bitter.

You may consider you bicep machine the best ever made. You can consider anything you do as the best ever. But it is meaningless if nobody else cares.

Nobody cares, Vincent. That's, again, another reason people KNOW you are such a sad and bitter man, and by default, a lonely one. Nobody likes a sad sack. In the case of Roz, it has grown into contempt.

And yes, I work at a hardware chain part-time. So what? You think that is what I did with my college degree? I never really went or wanted to get into great detail about my life but, as I said, I am in a generous and chatty mood, and want to make it easier for you to continue with your unfinished business. It would be cool if you knew the full extent of the person you are dealing with. But modesty and, well, other stuff, precludes going into full detail. I just want to be little old, hapless Pellius, Philip Gilkey, to you.

My ambition after college was to join the military. Fighting Communism was the big thing in those days and I was brought up with the idea that in this world there is always a constant battle between good and evil and I was going to fight on the side of good. That's how we were raised. And that's quite different from being "nice" which you claimed is how I want to portray myself.

By my junior year, I was recruited by the DoD and they offered to pay for my last two years at UCLA. I was supporting and paying my way through college and struggling tremendously. This was a God send. During those day (The Reagan/Bush years) the defense department was booming. All the major Aerospace and Defense companines were located in one main area, El Segundo, California. Hughes Aircraft, Rockwell, McDonnell Douglas, GM, Raytheon, Northropt... and an all-out recruiting program was underway. Anybody that went to Cal Tech, USC, and UCLA and was a junior with good grades in a technical field, mine was Math/Applied Science, was going to get a call from the government.

As a DoD contractor, I bounced around from company to company which in this case really meant building to building, assignment to assignment, lab to lab as needed. I worked hand in hand with the military and got to travel to various places where America was supporting pro American governments fighting Communist expansion, i.e. the Cold War, where Russia and America fought "proxy wars" in South America, Asia, the Middle East, because they could not fight each other directly as this would risk an all-out nuclear war. So I was essentially in a roundabout way following through with my ambition to join the military and defend our country.

This is where my interest, training, and subsequent collection of firearms began -- a subject you always seemed to have a unique fascination with and periodically asked me about. And, yes, I got to use them. I'd also like to show you what I can do with a blade.

This is one of my IDs when I was with Raytheon. As those in the biz know, the Red Stripe indicates a Secret Clearance and on the back of the card is the various access points I have and the privileges granted. It changes constantly from assignment to assignment and with each new assignment comes a separate background check. In addition to the three labs: Radar, Global Hawk, and the Predator program, I also have off-hour access, a big one, only the important guys get that one (feeling a bit "cheeky" as you folks put it) and Escort Privileges, meaning I can bring in personnel not officially cleared for the area. Only the REAL important people get that one.    But not quite the "Luna" clearance that gh15 bragged about.

I'm glad we had this little insightful discussion into the life of Philip Gilkey that you have taken such a special interest in as you continue with your "unfinished business". I hope I made your task a little easier.

You see, it isn't so bad to be oneself even on Getbig.

Well done Vince.  In my humble opinion, you have owned Phillip/Pellius in this thread.

[Rascal full]

Vince, don't know why you keep mentioning his real name but I don't think you should post anymore of his private shit. Just my two cents but not really cricket is it?

Also Pellius, if you are living in a van I find it amazing you would attack a homeless dude considering how close to the streets you are. You would think you would have more empathy. Truth is, we are all one bit of bad luck away from ending up on the streets so no attacks from me here.

LURIE 2, old bag must be dead ( ) , I didn't get another 20 PM's  in the last 4 hours from her/HIM  


She/HE is in deeeeep love with mr.C '70 , they drink Pepsi* together

I've been here for over ten years. What makes you think I live in a van?9 Because conker says so. Because he posted a pic of some stranger living in a van? Because there was a mobile home there seven years ago.

I invite anybody to come to Nukuwai Pl for a personal tour. My neighbors and I would love to meet you. There's special welcoming tradition we locals have for Haoles.

What's the special welcome? Why do I get the feeling it might not be pleasant?...

waht?

Just skim straight past any posts by Iron Cross, the guy is in love with Vince and constantly writing weird shit about him.

Living in a van in Hawaii got to be the best place to do it. Something cool about living like that, by the sea, move where you want, sounds liberating in a lot of ways. If you do live like that no shame but very hard for you to admit it after what you said about Conker's drum!

Interesting that Pellius didn't want any children of his own. Why couldn't he bring a new life into the world with a clear conscience?

Adoption is a beautiful thing.  You are over reaching on this one.  You just owned yourself.

Hey, Philip, how about taking me to see Ledward Kaapana perform? He is one of my guitar heroes. I will even buy you a burger super-sized meal!

I explained it clearly. Not my problem you can't comprehend it. Even my wife, though she didn't agree, understood completely.

[pellius]

As much as some of the moderator's here may thrive off the attention that the constant clicks generate, maybe it's time for Vince, pellius, Conker and whoever else to look back on this thread and find a different way to spend the day.

Perhaps you should too. Reading and/or participating in any and all threads are strictly voluntary. I haven't even read the epic hulkster/ND thread but don't care who participated and for how long.

That is a really stupid question. Why do you feel that it is necessary to have children?
