Title: I AM CONNJOHNWAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: patrickhallahan on Aug 05, 2004, 03:59 PM
greetings my morning jacket forum.

it has been brought to my attention that one john conway has frequented this forum for some time now.  many of you have grown to love the guy, and who could hold you accountable?  

i submit this post today to expose him as an inverse impostor of me, CONN JOHNWAY!  it is I who is the greatest whiteball player in the land.  it is I that defends the world from negative thread starters.  it is I that rules this forum, and all of you need not bow before me, but it is your duty to show this "man" what power the truth holds.

CCBAXTER, can you hear me??  i expect my status to be moved to SENIOR MEMBER immediately, and that you check with me, not HIM, before releasing any information that pertains to the band.

thank you all for your understanding, and i hope that we can settle this travesty as peacefully as possible.

warmest regards,

conn johnway

I hear you ConnMan but I don't know... sounds to me like you belong to that evil tribe called Cabalan. you know, the one that stole that magic symbol Tricon from the tribe of Connexians. I know that two whiteball players can be supported on the hot-seat but I'm not quite sure yet if you're one of em...

(drum roll please)

alas my friends, conn johnway speaks the truth!  he is the greatest whiteball player in the land and bearer of all things Thor related!  i humbly bow before the skill and grace of our true leader!

as a bad impersonator of conn johnway, you all have been duped by me!  not to beat the drums of my demise, but the cymbals of change have been high-hatted into reality!  i will snare you no longer with my sticks of wood, nor will i tom-tom my way into negative threads!  the gong has sounded!

Two pints of whatever you lot are drinking, please bartender.
And a small libation for my friend the Mollusk.

ATTENTION FORUM PARTICIPANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

since the IMMEDIATE step-down of john conway has taken place, my coup-like takeover is complete.

you will receive instructions shortly as to the whereabouts of our new headquarters--a plush, utopian getaway full of pulled-pork bbq, libations (for john,greggy and the mollusk), and 5.1 surround.

this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds......

not really a call out to you, my friend...although i did think "hmmmm, wonder if smog1974 will respond" when I typed that. :)

this is a reference to the infamous bugs bunny cartoon that is a parody of the barber of seville...elmer shouts "smog" when he's gathering lightning bolts to "kill the wabbit".

quite possibly the funniest shit ever.  not to mention the cool ass schooling one gets in classical opera/music while watching it.  who'da thunk edumacation could be so fun?

I can't imagine growing up without the 'Tunes.  In this era they have been co-opted into something all together different, but back in the day, movies didn't start with endless trailers, ads for Vagisil, or even the "what actor played Joey on..." crap we have to sit through to get to the actual MOVIE.  Nope, kiddies, we had either one or two Looney Tunes played, and then the movie...bam!  Nothing quite like seeing Wil E Coyote on the big screen...ah, memories.

I'm totally lost here.  Don't know who to follow anymore. My image of mr Connaway is completely shattered.  All was fake.  I was just living a dream.  The ftp server did never exist, nor does the group mmj exist, nor did I receive a nude picture of Liv taylor.  

Please, can you help me out here, Johnway or Connaway?


I promise I will follow the one with the nicest looks and the most things to offer.

I humble bow for our new almighty GOD, whoever that may be.

Oh heck maybe I'll go to the limp bizkit forum to have some fun...

ah, all in good fun my friend.  i truly exist and tales of my demise were exaggerated.  in no way shape or form am i "god" or any other exaulted title...i'm merely that semi skinny white dude over 35 who acts 13 and loves all things MMJ, thor, the gorton's fisherman, computers, bourbon, and "whatnot"  ;D ;D.

now that we all have clarification on the health and well being of the fisherman brigade, what shall we do with this connjohnway, corrupter and confuser of the MMJ forum???
Title: Re: I AM CONNJOHNWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Make him listen to that Pina Colada song for hours on end.

Just a thought.

nah, if his true identity were revealed, you would want only the best for him.  (wink wink).  as in 40 cases of knob creek, a 100K shopping spree at the Zildjan store...

IF there is a need for the Pina Colada song I'll be there.
http://users.cis.net/sammy/escape.htm

I've got an idea. :o Instead of doing a MMJ tribute album, why don't we all submit a recorded version of ourselves singing along to the Kareoke version of the Pina Colada song. We can vote on who does the best job and the winner gets.........(any suggestions?)


a box of gortons fish sticks?

From now on I officially don't believe a single word anyone says here anymore.

Not that I did before.

In truth, everyone knows I'm the only one that's real.

I just don't brag about it.

Anyway.

There was a hardcore fan who was also friends with Patrick by the name of John Conaway--he lives (or maybe now lived) in Louisville and played pool with Patrick while being a big supporter of the band.  This was Patrick poking fun at him back in the day
