You get to buy the margaritas.

Hey mojo- To get your free margarita, you have to drive to Asuncion, where Shari & Juan always provide nomads with everything they will ever need.

Thanks - I was looking for an invite based on my new 'Nomad'
status

Let's do the math - to reach 20K Platinum status I will have to enter 5 posts a day each and ever day including holidays for the next 10 years- Magarita please

5 posts a day ain't no thing! Heck, we can do that right now just talking about the five posts a day!

Hmm - Is there a way to track post/day/nomad .. could be an an interesting statistic..

That's right Udo! Maybe not all my posts should count? I will happily accept whatever Baja Nomad has for me when I reach the level of Uranium Nomad!

Jeeeezo....I should live so long.

"Hmm - Is there a way to track post/day/nomad"

Just click on any Nomad name or below his/her post-PROFILE- to get the stats for that poster. It will tell you how much time per day someone spends here when the lawn needs mowing.
Congrats on the shiny new star.

If Baja Nomad is accepting names for the most bestest special Baja Nomadian after “Honored Nomad” my vote is for "Atomic Nomad." It will be accompanied by an Atom/Hydrogen Bomb blast instead of stars! Let me see if I can come up with a Gif for that.

D K is closing in on 25K

JUST WONDERING

Thanks Howard!

You know he does... just recently, in fact for a poster on Nomad... and it was taboo to even ask that Nomad why!??

(if I changed my handle, you all would be wodering why... )

Is the name 'David M' already taken?

You can also ask Doug to add a space so you handle is EL INVESTI8... That would instantly solve the how to say your name problem.

The point of David's (ELINVESTI8) request is obvious. He even spelled it out for you DK, and you still didn't get it.
1. He has no desire to change his identity.
2. Some people choose to use their actual name, which is OK, however, others prefer to use a clever, creative name that represents something about themselves. ELINVESTI...is taking the route that requires imagination. (BajaNomad, for example).
3. If he is granted the requested name change (he could use the edit tool in his profile), it would better represent who/what he is:
ELINVESTIG8R=The Investigator.

I have always wondered why he didn't set it up that way in the first place. Without the 'G' and he 'R',it didn't make a whole lot of sense.

There will be a test after class.

David thanks for your suggestions. I would like to stick with ELINVESTIG8R. I would never use “David M” because some of your admirers would think we are Conservative Republican friends or something. Shhhh, don't tell them we are.

Tony thank you for that! It was an e-mail name. At the time they did not have the availability of Elinvestig8r. When I joined here I just used the same name. But if BajaNomad will change it, Woo Hoo! I guess I should u2u him to see if he would do that for me.

Please, no fighting... I love you all!

David-
I may be wrong, but I think you can do it yourself by going into your profile and editing it. Maybe Doug has a rule against name changes without his approval, but I didn't think so. Maybe he will chime in soon. Others may have the same question.

I think some woman ought to grab the name...FreeMargarita. I'd sample her wares.

Tony I sent BajaNomad an u2u requesting his review of the matter. I'm sure when he's not busy he will consider my request. It's not imperative it be changed but would be nice.

Oh, Tony... Sampling wares!

OK David. Sorry. I must have misinterpreted the tone. I should have kept my fingers still.

Cool!

THANK YOU BAJANOMAD NAME CHANGE MARGARITA BASH

Now that the Captain is here let the party get started!

Last night the Honorable Judge BajaNomad granted my permanent name change to ELINVESTIG8R.


Now to call DMV to get a new driver’s License, Social Security to get a new Social Security card, U.S. Department of State for a new passport, Headquarters Marine Corps for a new retired ID card, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on.

I thank you BajaNomad for granting my name change to ELINVESTIG8R.

I remember BajaNuts. I used GIFS such as this one.
I look back on it and laugh wishing I would have kept the GIFS and the signature I was using at the time so I could have placed it into the JrBaja Memorial Chicken Coop Group Museum over on the other side of the veil. Oh Well! And a far as you making ”Snarky comments” no need to apologize I probably deserved them.

FILICIDADES, AMIGO!

I'm actually only posting this to boost my "star power". LOL! And to say I hope ElInvesti8 can get the name change without loosing all his "star power". When I first started lurking on this forum, ElI8~ was off on a rant about something. I posted snarky comments about that situation. I have to admit, BN is the first ever forum I had participated in and I didn't know or understand all the "nuances" of internet posting. Well, isn't it amazing how we grow and progress? Now we are cheering for a name change! PS-I publicly apologize to ElInvesti(g8r) for my snarky comments. Sorry M8! 'Nuts I remember BajaNuts. I used GIFS such as this one.

This 90 second rule is murder!

A David K 'bump' defined:

When someone is seeking info that was discussed here in the past, but didn't know about it (there are new Nomads every day).

When it may be interesting to review an older post for a variety of reasons.

When I get a U2U or Email ASKING me to bring up something because that Nomad couldn't find it.

What isn't a reason I bump something:

To increase my post count! God no, I have plenty and there are no points or monies for the most posts here. It doesn't matter at all to me. I post on other forums and only this one am I the most active/ oldest active member (after the founder).

In fact, I delete frequently any of my posts that are outdated, in error, or were posted in defense, if the issue has been settled or no longer matters. I do not believe in keeping NEGATIVE stuff up just to get laughs or otherwise. When one deletes a post, his number goes down... so it is clear that I don't post only to increase by status here.

To me Nomad is for sharing Baja experiences, making friends, helping others... with facts and history. It's not some game to irritate others, name call or push an opinion. There may be an exchange of opinions if one person posts one of his own... But, it should be our right to hold opinions without insulting others with different ones, right?

Now, how about some trip reports, photos, or stories about Baja... Instead of just posting your criticizing how or when someone posts. That (to me) is more indicative of posting only to increase your number...

More Baja, less la la!
