someone who registered as Concerned Fan, only just now, to make the following statement, commented on the Blue Hotel Penske race car hauler post from earlier today and said:
Why is there No mention of the Two main guys who did the restoration? They work so many long hard hours to do this fabulous job with no extra incentives or now even the recognition they so rightly deserve!
So, I replied:
Wait... just reach down, and pull those knickers out of the knots and twisted mass... because you've gone and bunched them all up over nothing. As you might not realize I JUST GAVE THEM THAT RECOGNITION! You outraged person you. You went and created a profile, registered with Google, and left a comment, all so that you could point out that I'm not doing a good job at recognizing effort, work, and achievement.
Ahem. Take a deep breath. Now, one more for good measure, and slowly exhale, then read on.
I have this blog thing / website, and all I do it give recognition for things I find wonderful, (and I want to point out... I do not put my car on this site, nor my bike, nor my resume, nor advertising, and I do not make money in return for the time and effort) to post all the things I share with you, and everyone else that reads along with here.
Did you write me to mention my long work? In view of the fabulous (in my mind) job I'm doing with no extra incentives, and not much recognition from YOU?
NOPE
SO, calm down, take a sip of something cool and tasty, and reflect on the 10 years and 27000 posts of stuff before you, on my site, that only I have created. You, didn't realize that I've put more hours by at least a factor of 10, and 5 times as many years, into this site, ALONE as they did restoring that hauler.
And you didn't realize that all it is, it's only function, is to SHARE THE COOL STUFF I FIND. That means, simply, I think it's cool, or it wouldn't be here.
I did my part to recognize the achievement of restoring that hauler, or you wouldn't have a gripe with me.
Maybe I don't appreciate the guys work in restoring that truck, maybe it didn't occur to me, maybe I was sorta putting that post up kinda fast to get them some recognition by people who will CLICK THROUGH to read the entire article, as I have A LOT OF SHIT going on. Not much of it pleasant.
SO, be kind, rewind. Click though, then YOU GIVE THEM SOME APPRECIATION like Bruce Willis or R Lee Ermey was screaming in your face! DO IT! DO It NOW! Sam Jackson is pissed as a motherfucker, and you know he is, that YOU AREN'T RECOGNIZING it! And you know Samuel Jackson, he will say motherfucking, a lot. And mean it.
YOU make a blog, and then write up an appreciation article. Or, you know what? I'll make it easier. You can use MY BLOG. You write up an article showing the appreciation and recognition about that hauler restoration, and if it's good, and well done, and original, I'll post it. Yes, yes indeed. Use the force Luke, don't go to the dark side where it's easy to hate, be the good guy, do the right thing. I dare ya. I double dog dare you!
AND IT TOOK 4 GUYS, not 2, 8000 hours, in two years. Says so right there in the article. "With assistance from Morgan Corporation and a dedicated group led by Penske Truck Leasing’s James Svaasand, Michael Klotz, and David Hall - along with Team Penske Historian Bernie King - it took over 8,000 man-hours to complete the Blue Hilton restoration process. '
Enjoy the retort! If I get way outta line, let me know. I'm just trying to use the situation for a bit of fun, and point out subtly the irony of telling me I'm not recognizing 2 years and 8000 hours by 4 guys, when I'm a solo act of 10 years and I can't begin to guess how many thousands of hours which this complaint failed to see as they told me I should do better.
