You and Rodney Dangerfield-just can't get no respect.  He said he was so ugly when he was born that the doctor reached over and slappped his mother!  He got excited because his wife told him to go to the store and get a dozen condoms.  He got back home, his wife took four of them and said I'l l see you later. No respect.

Tony,
They're just yanking your chain with the fake words or respect and appreciation.  When I hit the "full member" level I got a cake, a hundred bucks and a stripper all with a card that said "thanks from CVO website."  If you don't get the same stuff it's got to mean either they don't like you, they don't like foreigners or they don't like yellow !!!!

translation: From "The Dictionary of Contemporary Slang" by Tony Thorne (Pantheon Books, New York, 1990; originally published in Great Britain by Bloomsbury Publishing, 1990):

"YANK (SOMEONE AROUND/SOMEONE'S CHAIN) -- vb. American to mislead, deceive, harass or irrate. The image on which the expression is based is that of a chained or leashed animal or prisoner being thoughtlessly or maliciously jerked about or led in different directions..."

The image I have is more benign -- a cartoon scenario of a bulldog on a chain and a cat, or whatever, accidently pulling the chain. And there's a variation, "Who pulled your string?" referring to talking dolls that are activated by pulling out a string in their backs. Remember Chatty Cathy?

Thanks guys. I feel much better now.

However, I could be developing a "yellow complex". Well, either that or I am going bannanas! [smiley=mad.gif]

Yet to meet a CVO owner in the UK but I have mentioned it to the dealers. Needles to say I would introduce any that I meet to this group.

Better late than never regarding the congrats...However, I would suspect that the bigger congrats will come when the new banana comes in Feb.

Until then  [smiley=beerchug.gif]
