Of what religion is the St Tropez a saint?

jradanov · Post by **jradanov** » Fri Feb 22, 2008 7:30 pm

There's only one religion that would honor the topless beaches of the Riviera, the French one.

St Tropez eess-a no republican o democrat, he is socialiste.

The thread was rightfully killed by a moderator.

Please settle down, guys. The intentional provocations, whether jokes or not, are starting to get on people's nerves—we're getting reports.

We'd hate to have to put the hammer down and begin to more strictly enforce the guidelines. So far, the MB crowd has been fairly well-behaved and has done a good job of keeping each other in line. But when new members come in and see a bunch of juvenile comments and jokes, it's pretty off-putting and will drive some people away.

So I'm asking nicely. Cool it, please.

I apologize. Being new, I got carried away with the mob mentality. Please accept my peace offering:

Sorry if I caused any trouble or conflict. My humor can be a bit weird at times. However I will always take advantage of an opportunity to post a pic of Allie the Wonder beagle!

Oh yeah...this is her!

I can see where this is going, so here's a preemptive warning:

Modern Buddy strictly enforces a zero-tolerance policy on rickrolling.

rickrolling?- Ill have to look that one up, never heard that word before

does it mean something like being- um- yea, I really dont know that that means. Ornery, perhaps?

from wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Astley

Never Gonna Give You Up" 's campy music video became the basis for an Internet phenomenon known as "rickrolling". It originated on 4chan and took its name from an earlier phenomenon known as "duckrolling", in which someone would post a blind link to a page allegedly relevant to a discussion that upon viewing would prove to be a non sequitur - specifically, an image of a duck on wheels. Similarly, in a rickroll a poster provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes anyone who clicks it to the Rick Astley video.

Post by **ericalm** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 5:46 pm

Okay, that was a new one for me, too. Freakin' hilarious, though.

I beleive the question of St Tropez scooter sexuality needed to be discussed. Before someone spends 3000.00 + for something, they should know how peaple feel about it. Stereotyping is a mean practice and this forum is where it should be discussed rationally. 5 bud 7

Thanks for the definition, never even heard of that guy before, Well, fair enough, I must admit I can be an Instigator at times (and a bad speller most of the time) BUT, I am getting a scooter soon, and Im glad you all have enlightened me. I am very excited to join this fun bunch! And am mearly weeks (one or two) away from living the lifestyle- the scooter lifestyle- that is.

So let the good times ROLL!

Maybe this is Saint Tropez?

http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2378

Maybe not though, I'm not so much of an expert in theological trivia.

There was a sighting of the virgin Mary in S-T in 1954

illnoise wrote:Maybe this is Saint Tropez?

I'm guessing it's a corruption of another name. I read this on "Provence Beyond," and it sort of jives with some other bits and pieces I came across.

Name:
Saint-Tropez was the antique Athenopolis, or Heraclea Caccabaris, the name used again by the Thermidoriens in 1793. In "modern" times, the town was listed as Ecclesia Sancti Torpetis in 1055, named after one of Nero's centurions who was beheaded in Pisa for the sake of his religion. Torpès' body and his head, along with a dog and a cock, was placed in a boat and set adrift. The dog and cock were intended to devour the man's remains, but he was still intact, so to speak, when the boat came ashore where the town of St Tropez stands today. The current name of Saint Tropez came after the Revolution.

And now it's also a smart-looking 150cc scooter. I'm sure Nero's unfortunate centurion had no idea.

Lagerhead - I was wondering the same thing.

This thread is like the game "telephone." What started out with a question to the moderator has turned into BuddyRaton wearing an onion hat. This is good entertainment. Thanks!

I guess it's even more of a nanny-state here than ModernVespa.

Sorry to have offended such tender sensibilities.
I shall only post topics about cute bunnies and kittens from now on.

"Tender sensibilities?"

I'm straight as an arrow and as crass as they come and I found your approach irritating.

I'll hazard a guess, Brian, that you got exactly the response you were hoping for.

It really never would have occurred to you that there might actually be gays and lesbians on this site who would find your topic title infuriating?

Kudos to the moderators for pulling the thread.

I hope if you give it a thought or two you might see that there could have been a better approach to discuss your disdain for the colour scheme.

Oh, it totally is. They're not into this kinda thing there. We're not into it here. I hate to say it, but the BBS is prolly your go-to place for finding an audience for that stuff.

Behave or take a time out. Seriously.

This thread is locked and I totally don't wanna hear any more about it.
