Be Nice To Radley

By: Bill Thompson, REALTOR®
Friday, July 06, 2007 9:47 PM

Let's all be nice to Radley and other new bloggers here. They sometimes feel the regulars do not like newcomers. I guess it is kind of like fraternity hazing. See if they can handle the heat, right? Let's try to be nicer though, Radley seems like a great guy and I am sure many other new people would appreciate a nice welcome also. I know I called for lurkers to come out in the open a while back. Let's not slap them down when they do show their face :)

Bill, it's just all in good fun.  We like Radley.  He's funny.  He likes to poke fun, so we poke fun back at him.  No hazing going on.

Thanks Bill in Texas !!!

It's nice to have a little love and support from time to time.  I tell you one thing though, this blog is wearing me out.  I jumped on a couple weeks ago, quit, took a break, and now back.  

You can count on my for blog stuff in the mornings and on Fridays which is my day off.  Today has been a long day but the good news is that we our hot Moderator made a little cameo.

Wow !

Bill so far, here is what I have come up with.

Bee, is cool and has GREAT hair

Mike, is like totally normal and we might go boating

Mary, hates my guts and thinks I'm a college student

Cathy, brought me into this blog world so I gotta support her totally

Becky, is plotting against me right now with this whole logo thing but she did teach me how to upload pictures

Kerry & Joe, I taught them how to dress today on the what do you wear blog.  I think I am talking to Joe, but not sure.  Whoever it is really, they are really nice BUT I'm hetro for the blog record

About 3-4 guys in suits in ties.... who are like really smart but they only pop in during special occassions

Michaela, who is like really cool once she starts posting a picture but for now I am ignoring her.

Jacquelyn, the hottest Moderator in all of blog land.  What more can be said about that?

Thanks for putting up with me Bill !!

Radley, I don't hate your guts. Just having fun, you do to. No worries. I don't hate anyone guts, I do however, hate liver and onions. Thats all. Just liver and onions. Oh, and not real fond of peas. I don't want you tarred and feathered. Sounds like Bee does though, lol.

No Radley, I like your handsome face.  I guess you just don't understand Michaela's situation.  Why would her agent John Doe want his name and her face on one of his listings?  It's not just her website.  It's the entire brokerages.

If you worked for her and she changed the log for her pic, the listings that were yours on that site would have your name but her photo.  How cool would that be?  LOL...

Ok, it's 11:25 pm here.  I am heading to bed!!

I will pay my "Rookie" dues but if you guys are not gonna haze me, I'm gonna have to haze myself.  I am here under my own free will and asking to be hazed  I am the "Rookie" ASKING to be hazed.  In terms of membership, I will be a pledge for an entire week.  BUT

After that, I get to do some hazing of some sort !!!  

p.s.

If I get voted into the club, I nominate myself to be a participant in some future rookie hazing.  From Texas, Love To Haze !!

Radley, the me part of us isn't going to haze you. I think you would like it though. Actually, Bill has asked us nicely to be nice to you even though we have been, just joking with you.

But feel free to haze yourself into the club. I don't remember being hazed either. Of course there is that tazing that we did, but no, we couldn't do that to you....

I forgot to mention the West Coasters:

Jay & Francy in Zona.... they are like the smart people.  

Phil in Oregon, don't know his deal yet but he's probably cool

Shelly, let's team up on the hazing, let's pick someboy at like random !!

Radley Reiff said:

Bill, I'll handle this question.....

Mary & Anne, you ladies were probably not in a men's fraternity but please allow me to share the BENEFITS of hazing.  

In a nutshell, hazing is a rite of passage which provides structure and introductions where valuable lessons are taught.  Simple things like, which fork do I use? to more complicated issues like respect the elders!

Have you ever tried hazing?  

Come on girls, hazing is not just good, it's GREAT !!

Other possible Realtor Hazing methods are....

1)  How many balloons can you blow up in FIVE minutes? .... If P2 can organize an annual event, we could make this like a contest !!

2)  In honor of Brother Bill, we HAVE to have some type of Kilt thing.  From a personal viewpoint, chicks dig Kilts !!!

Lots more coming !!!

I know I am still a rookie but Shelly and I performed our first hazing tonite.  It actually went well.  I gave her some hard stuff but she had it down.  In fact, I would like to suggest considering Kimberly in Huntsville, BAMA to be a part of this whole blog thing.

Primary reasons are:  

1)  She knows how to make cookies.... and she did not just google it..... she KNEW IT !!

NIGHT NIGHT !!

Jay & Francy,

Thanks for the link.... just to bring this thread up to speed, had a little late night chatter with some of the elders on this thread and they somehow convinced me to take my shirt off.  I think this has something to do with hazing or something but not sure.

I do not know how this happened and I cannot find the shirt but I will remain shirtless until Jacquelyn sorts all this out on Monday !!

In meantime, I am here and ready !!!

Hey Radley, you are right it is Joe. And the heteros are the best ones to play with...its more fun that way. All in good fun!

Yes, we are picking it up in yellow polka dot bikinis and going to, i think Shelly said the Theater, in Atlanta and then to Radley's, who should only feel flattered - not nervous - for a couple of Bombay Sapphires & Tonic. I heard that Beck was coming up from FL and picking a few people up on the way and meeting us at Radleys to drop off her bat to Shelly for some waxing!

You guys are really funny.  Why so much beating up on this poor Radley guy????  Seems normal to me.  I can't believe he got half naked on the site the other day.  Made me giggle.

I talk way to much ans spell like a 1st grader so I can only imagine what people are thinking but the great news is that I usually don't care.  All comments good are bad give us an emotion on some level so let's all just have fun with it.

Bill you have been super nice.

Thanks for the post.  Very cute.

Radley should be thankful for the nice welcome.

Bill your in Richardson.  My nephew just got married a few weekends ago at the Eiseman center.

It was a nice area.  I lived in fort Worth for awhile.  Let me know if you come across any good commercial investments such as strip centers or land for development.  I have a loyal friend and customer who is always looking for great Texas opportunities.  He tend to go for the cheap opportunities but don't they all.

By the way my kids spilled like a quart of milk in my car on the way to Richardson.  You guys need some car washes.  Maybe I was just in the wrong area but needless to say it was not a good experience.
