    No, I didn't even imply that.

    Try reading my post again, and see if you can decipher which part applies to you.

    He said you don't know the etymology...

    Surf contest idea is great. videos of the rides could be posted and everyone could vote on various categories.

    He indeed said I didn't know the etymology (true). But he did so in reference to "most" and then added the word "either". I think my interpretation was fair. In any case, it's disappointing he won't take the challenge. I was running the theme of Rocky in my head as I visualized paddling out through three lines of foam to get outside of overhead closeouts as part of my conditioning routine.

    I heard ride could find smoking 3 packs of cigarettes easier than
    Padding through 3 lines of whitewater

    ive met guys that are really solid surfers that i consider kooks because they are fucking assholes. they are good surfers but they are cocky, so they are kooks. but thats just one of the meanings. i think just like any other word, kook can mean different things. me and my friends call each other kooks as a term of endearment. if you take shit too seriously, youre a kook. not serious enough, youre a kook. who the fuck cares. words only have as much power and meaning as you are willing you give them. bring the word back, but then bring all the words back.

    But let's make this interesting Ride. Let's go mano-a-mano, a little one on one surf competition. A classic grudge match. You v Me. We'll choose a beach, a day, a time, tell the members of this community it's on and let them come and judge for themselves. I've never surfed in a single competition. Not one. You'll probably kick my ass. But then again... maybe not. I'm game. Whaddaya say?

    Hell, maybe others would want to have their own grudge matches. Who else wants in on this?

    This could be better than Festivus!
    You may have something here!!
    Hell, I might even show up if the Warden lets me out.
    Last time he gave me a furlough, I didn't return. So they came after me.
    Honestly, I never did commit that homicide....I am innocent!!

    Do you guys know why "kook" was banned in the first place? If you don't know, maybe venture a guess.

    I think I've used kook several times. Does it count if it's in reference to yourself?

    What's the big deal? I think it mostly reflects on the guy who slings it. Like that guy that called me a dipshit a few years ago...
