We here at MUSA realize that change is hard, and not everyone is happy with the new site. I for one like it, but we have designed a new feature for the site that will be up and running on 11/10/09 at 11:00am sharp. You will now be able to customize the site almost any way you wish. If you don't like the main stories at the top of the page, move it to the bottom, you don't like the main stories at all, remove it completely. You aren't a fan of the forum, well you can remove it from your main page as well. All you want is forum topics, then you build it that way. These new options will allow you to control what your MiddletownUSA.com looks like. Once you make the site look the way you want, all you do is save it and no matter where or when you log in your page will remain the way you created it. If you want to change it in a day or month just simply click the customize link and start over fresh.
I believe our members will enjoy this all new feature. There is only one catch (there always is
 ) you must be a member of the site to have access to this feature. So if you are not a member, sign up and take advantage of this new addition to MiddletownUSA.com------------- Call me for a www.CameraSecurityNow.com" rel="nofollow - www.CameraSecurityNow.com quote 513-422-1907 x357 |

John or Adam - is there any way you can change Hermes Bengal helmet under his screen name? Can you alter the helmet to a Steelers or Brown's helmet perhaps? Any way to permanently delete it? I know the Bengals helmet angers many people and I know that you want satisfied members on this site. I'd ask Randy, but he's in "cohoots" with Hermes.

Actually I was going to change it but I like everything on it so I left it alone. As I said it's easy to navigate so I may make changes at a later date or something but for now I'll leave it alone.

OK- To summarize what was just discussed here.
1. Hermes and randy want to pay me $50 bucks to get a Bengal tattoo on my chest causing me to look like the hood of a 70's something Trans Am and making me look like a carny. This is after they attempt to lure me into the state of alcoholic bliss. 2. Adam will take that $50 bucks to make the hideous logo under Hermes name on this site "mysteriously disappear". Apparently this logo is offensive to folks who respect a quality football team. Adam knows it and wants to clean up the forum by eliminating unsightly pictures such as this. 3. Hermes suggests that all forum users have some sort of Bengal logo in their posts which would automatically incite a riot or boycott of this site causing defections back to the old Journal Message Board. 4. Hermes wants some sort of link to a Bengal site that will probably insert some sort of major virus into the system because we all know that most Bengals sites are infected with hackers who think they know football.
5. Randy, while older, is indicating that he is willing to do the bidding of his younger brother because Adam is Randy's boss and must comply to Adam's every wish. (Geez Randy!) 6. Randy and Hermes are willing to pay me $50 bucks to be a Bengals fan knowing full well that it will take much more than that to acknowledge their very existence. Does that about take care of things gents, or have I inserted some exaggeration in this post?

Pretty much agree with the summary you have, just one correction. I will not do the biding of Adam even though he is the boss.  And for the record, Adam does not watch sports and might not know the difference between a Bengals helmet and a bicycle helmet. So not sure how much help he would be to you Vet. As for the tattoo, It would look good on you, you might even get into a game or two for free when they see just how much you love the team . ------------- Call me for a www.CameraSecurityNow.com" rel="nofollow - www.CameraSecurityNow.com quote 513-422-1907 x357 |

Some correction to your 6 point summary Vet....we are NOT paying YOU anything.
The tattoo would be a donation by a Bengal fan tattoo artist who once we tell him/her that you are a Bengal subversive will no doubt be more than happy to WORK on you.
The 50 bucks will be paid only upon verification that YOUR avatar has been changed to a Bengals helmet,but YOU will have to loan me the 50.
And the 50 will be paid to either Adam or Randy,whom ever makes the change.

Randy- You will comply with Adam's requests or will pay dearly. How dare you sass the boss, mister! Lay some disciplinary stuff on 'em Adam! How about making him work during the Steelers game this Sunday and set him up where he can't see the game! Randy- you'll be able to read about it after it's over or see the highlights.
You say Adam is not a sports fan and wouldn't know the difference between a football helmet and a bicycle helmet? That's ok, Adam, half the Bengals wouldn't know either. As a matter of fact, they need to be retrained weekly on how to put the helmet on. They keep trying to look out the ear hole or put the thing on backwards where the faceguard is on the neck. And that's the smarter players that are shown. They gave up on the rest of 'em and they sit the bench or call the plays for Marvin. Get in the game for free with the tattoo? Naw- Mike Brown would haul me into court for copyright infringements just to make a buck, the tightwad!

Now that's a football helmet the Bengals could use Adam! All you need is for the equipment manager to go to Odd Lots and buy a bunch of coat hangers for faceguards and some styrofoam peanuts taped up in the top of the helmet for padding and them thare Bengals are ready for Pittsburgh this Sunday. Mike Brown would appreciate it too as it couldn't possibly cost him alot to create these. Roger? This new helmet will look great when worn with the plastic life-like football jerseys with simulated players inside!

Hermes- you sir, are an inspiration to us all with this post. You, sir, sound like an MMF candidate for the next go around with the elections for Council. You sir, have the talk and, no doubt, the swagger to be a high rolling, big doggie power broker in this town. I can picture you now, yucking it up at the country club (or secretive Sunshine Law violating meeting) just a back slappin' and cigar munching with Lawrence, Jimmy, Billy, Scott-Jones, Judith G., Marty, Leslie L., Annie M., and other prominent folks. You keep writing like this and they're bound to take you "under their wing" to learn ya a thing or two and how to conduct covert business away from public scrutiny.

Vet - How else am I going to get to that football game Sunday ?
I forgot to mention how people will get to that new multi-billion dollar stadium....they will utilize the new and improved "bike path". Since the bike path runs north & south this will best suit the people who live to the north & south of us. Thus eliminating traffic congestion at the I-75 interchange, or the Manchester I-75 interchange,whichever interchange people choose to use. Also,a toll booth will be built at the new Manchester I-75 interchange to help with CDBG/HUD funds. This will relax the increase of new taxes we propose to impose in order to build the new stadium.

Hermes- you have made clear, what has been so cloudy for so long. Your overview of the game plan for the city by the big doggies has shed some positive light on a gloomy town forecast. I now see the light. I now realize that the MMF'ers, the city manager, the planning director, the law director, council and the school board have it well under control and we are not to worry about our city. They have always known what is best for us and we (I) have been extremely unfair in my criticism of our beloved city administrators.  
Now, if you will excuse me, I have to call 911 as I have an emergency occuring with my nose which is now growing at a rapid rate.

Thanks Randy for all you do on this site. The effort to get answers for us through your interviews, the follow through at council meetings/candidate forums, the pictures concerning subjects on this site- all appreciated. However- as great as your efforts have been in this area, sadly, we must reprimand you for your choice in football teams. Being a Bengal fan, how should we say, takes the "luster" off an otherwise outstanding career so far.
