Me, Gr8 and Bear (no homo, lol) ran AC last night after the shenanigan-fest, and it was pretty good. Takes a little getting used to setting up a private room, tuning the cars, etc. but once you figure it out it works pretty well. I'd recommend that everyone who wants to run AC jump in ahead of time and explore how it works. It could prove frustrating trying to get 16 people into a lobby on race night who aren't familiar with it.

And when I first met Bear I thought he was what his name implies, but he was cool so I didn't really care what he did in his private life. He'd talk about his "boys", and I thought...well, you know. Then I figured out he was married and his boys were really his sons (who are nice guys, too). I thought it was hilarious that he selected a name not knowing the connotation (but he does know the problem with AC/DC). I race with someone who is a transvestite, but she's cool so no judgement or problem there (other than being faster than me!). And I raced with a guy whose name translates to white dragon. I'll explain it to you sometime if you don’t know what a WD is.

A friend of mine was the Admin Sergeant and decided to get a vehicle wrap done to protect the front of some new patrol cars. He stupidly Googled “clear bra” on his work computer. Another was looking for a way to restrain inmates attending court because some judges say that body belts and shackles can’t be used. Anyway, he was looking for something that would lock their arm or leg straight (like a cast would) so it could be worn under clothing and they couldn’t run away. He did a google image search for “appendix restraints”. A ton of pics of guys with their “tweety birds” locked in little cages popped up. We died laughing, but the Sheriff’s Office IT department didn’t think it was so funny.

I have a problem when they start using terms that spill over into little kids world. Like the parades some of them are in are disgusting. It's indecent exposure, regardless of gender. If someone wants acceptance from me, don't rob decent ordinary things and turn them into something disgusting. Don't shove it in my face.
And someone please tell me how the 🤬 to change my name on PlayStation.
Damm it all.. that was my nickname long before they turned it into something disgusting.
 
psssst....Sorry to give you the bad news but you're stuck with the perverted name unless you create a new account or create a new driver and start all over.
 
I wouldn't worry about your name Bear. PlayStation doesn't allow name changes without creating a whole new account, and losing all game saves tied to the original name. I honestly never once thought you were a "bear" in the slang sense. The word bear isn't completely owned by the gay community. Don't let these guys scare you out of your name - take back the word bear!

Do you know what an otter is? Or a wolf? They can't have all the animals. :lol:
 
I certainly hope you understand the hidden meaning, no way do I mean any disrespect. :cheers:

Keep your name, you will always be the Bear, even if you change your name.

The guy with the wide rear ass. Who I think may Like Camaro's ??
 
Could have been worse. Could have been "Scat" or Golden Shower". Whatever you do if you create a new account don't choose those names.
 
All this talk of Bears, but what you need here is The Hamster! :D

I'd like to join the group for a race or 2 please, this Monday i can't, but the following Monday the 9th of April would be perfect for me! Any chance of me joining up? Thanks a lot! ;)

I can't believe you guys never told me sooner, especially after we became friends. I feel like a laughing stock.
Everyone laughing behind my back. God that pisses me off.

I still don’t get the slang reference that the ‘guys’ are commenting/teasing about. Could be that they’re pulling your leg (poor pun). Could be that one has to be a little too familiar with what’s current slang in the gay community to have ever brought it up to begin with. And that would make me wonder what my online buddies we’re doing on the nights they’re not racing. :lol::lol:
 
Bear, we’re just playing. Just like when we rip on Lobban about his dog and peanut butter, or aero and sheep, or about me and...everything. Like I said before: you’re a good guy and that’s all that counts. You didn’t know about the other possible meaning, and God knows that this group of misfits can turn ANYTHING into a dirty innuendo.

And Rob, you promised that what we talked about in the bath house would stay in the bath house, Vegas rules apply. Lol.

No, I looked it up. All this 🤬 time everyone on line has been having a good laugh at my expense. I can take ribbing, when it's up front and I'm aware of it. But a whole:censored: year? :irked:
Behind my back.
 
On the brighter side, your forum account name here is "yogi bear" who everybody loves, and on the online leaderboards during race your PSN/Driver name just says OLD.

Welcome to the Lounge Hammy. Please read through the first post (#1-4 have all the info) and send me @aerolite and @Mike Lobban FR's. We start at 8 est but I believe that's only one hr behind you. I think I've seen your name around the "CRAP" league before?
Please send a reminder to us a day or so before the first Monday you would like to join us. Thanks.

Bear, if it make's any difference, I had no idea about any gay connotations with the word Bear. Also I have never heard anyone even mention it before in this league, so there was never any laughing about it behind your back or I would have clued into it.
At least you didn't pic "Unicorn" or other's.

Ok thanks aero, So if this has just come to light that makes a huge difference. Still gotta try and change the name tho. I'll put a call into Sony.

I wouldn't bother Mel. You can do it once with a good reason, but you will always be bear to us, and I truly don't think most people associate it with anything gay anyways. And like David said, it is Yogi Bear, which all will associate with a lovable bear of the nature kind, and that's what everyone see's on your avatar. Zero gayness (is that a word) there!

When I first ventured into the world of online racing in May 2014, the first folks I ever did a race with were CRAP, but they weren't all that active and then I found SNAIL.
So you joining will now make it three Brits here. Even though you see Cdn flags on Bears and my avatars, we were both born in the UK and came to Canada in the 60's. I think Bear is from Ipswich/Norwich area or somewhere up in those parts and I'm from west London.
We will start you out in Group A. :cheers:
 
The name Hammy sounds familiar. Is the the world renowned tuner Hammy from GT6 fame or Pcars1?
Been beating my head from since I saw him post here for an invite if it's the same Hammy.

Yes mate i joined CRAP in August 2015 with PCARS1, and the group was really active back then. We raced every night for 18 months non stop....Then some went of and did their own thing sadly, mainly on PC with Iracing. #DamnDarksiders! :p

I'm from South London, but lived in Spain for 12 years until January this year, when i went to live in Argentina with my now wife (got married a month ago!), so that's why i'm now more in your time zone. Looking forward to racing you chaps in a few days! ;)

No @davidt33 , not me. I gave up with GT after GT5, same old same old and all that to me. Been on PCARS1, Assetto, and now PCARS2 on PS4 the last 3 years or so.

Although i believe i'm the Hammy that's more notorious among the people for being quite funny, and not taking any nonsense and giving two shiny sh:censored:tes in fighting back those trolls, and people that try to be smart with me lol. But don't worry, i don't bite.........That much! ;)

Naw Bear, don't do it. It's not worth it and not necessary. As has been said, there's never been any negative connotation to your name and you'll always be Bear to us. It's part of your character really.

Welcome Hammy!
Be careful about saying you don't bite around this lot - especially if someone asks if you like peanut butter...

Just to reassure you, we've never been laughing at you behind your back. The other night was the first I'd ever heard it come up. Personally, I don't think you should change the name. It's not like we're in a gay online dating community. Old Bear just insinuates an old bear here. We all know and respect you too much to take cheap shots behind your back. Like I said before, the gay community can't just claim words as their own. Now if you were making an online dating profile, I'd suggest a different name. But for PlayStation, I really think it's harmless. Besides, I've always liked the name and thought it suited you.

Just now checked it out. Donkey punching sounds dangerous.

Anyway, you live and you learn. See how much things you could learn in the forum?
