Omaha Summit... It became a adjective on the board, "omahed". What the hell was that? All I know is that is something about low attendance. What was this Omaha affair exactly?
I know I may be hurting fan´s proud but I can´t stand the doubt anymore.

To be "Omaha'ed" by the Stones is to be treated to a phoned-in show with a generic, warhorse-heavy setlist, I believe.
As for the summit, I was not present and cannot comment.

Two of the Message Board Elites met in Omaha to discuss all salient events. (See: Voodoopug and Joey)

I saw "phone-in" on the dictionary and it scared me. Are you being ironic or literal?

"Phone-in" is just American shorthand for putting in a half-assed effort.

be thankful that you werent at the Omaha Summit
like all things Omaha'd, it will go down as one of the boringest non-events in recent memory
here is a brief transcript of what went down:
VOODOO PUG: Hello Microbioligists! I am new to the board and to microbiology. I work for a company that prepares media, and being that my background is in sales, I have a lot to learn regaridng Microbiology.
My first question I have is: Is there anyway to prevent the agar
from drying up with it is left in an oven or incubator for extended
periods of time (30 days or so). Will the plate thickness make a
difference?
JOEY: Huh? (fart)
VOODOO PUG: We have checked our positive controls, that was one of the firs
things we tried. Being that i am a bit out of my element here, these
results have really confused me. I appreciate your suggestions and
anything else that may help me figure this out will certainly be
appreciated!
JOEY: (fart) Ummm, yeah... I'll be right back... umm.... gotta go to the bathroom. Later.
VOODOO PUG: But wait.. why are you taking your car keys and jacket??
3 hours later....
VOODOO PUG: Excuse me, waitress, have you seen my friend Joey?
WAITRESS: That guy that ran out of here 3 hours ago?
VOODOO PUG: Oh. Ok. Would you be interested in buying some Mac Conkey Plates that have QC'd at the vendor with excellent growth??
WAITRESS: Uh no. Heres your check. Please stop scaring the customers off.

After the Sopranos we decided to flip around the various HBO's to see what in the Hell
ELSE was on as " Entourage " is on ' hiatus ' for one week .
Well , we ran across this Star Wars movie called , " Star Wars III -- Revenge of the Sith " .
Now , I must be brutally honest here -- I have seen the first three movies ( 1977 - 1983 )
but not the most recent collection as I thought they were designed mainly for the kids .
Truthfully -- this movie was excellent and 2 1/2 hours flew by like 2 1/2 minutes . I do
Not know what a " Sith " or a " Sith Lord " is supposed to be --- but the name " Bushie43 "
came to mind ....... Developing .................. Shiver .............................................

Now that I think about it ---- there was indeed ONE disturbing aspect
of the film . This concerns the simple fact that there isn't better Birth Control in such a ' Futuristic Society ' .
I mean , this Skywalker guy knocks up his girlfriend and she pumps out two , .. count em' .. : TWO
Friggin Kids --- if that is not enough to turn one over to the ' Dark Side ' I do not know what in the hell is .. ?!

We can only set people up with great material. If they choose to go down the same boring repetitive path with it, it simply shows that some of the "new breed" just can't cut it.
How I pine for the old days:
Dear Friends,
IT’S HERE.
Many have said that the best way to go out is to go out on top. On that fateful spring day in Boca Raton, while sitting on my deck allowing the sun to reflect off of my pool, I was at peace with my decision to take a hiatus from Rocks Off. I truly left on top. For years, I was loyal to two boards, Rocks Off and Shidoobee. I have great respect for the atmosphere Doug had created and have continued to post there without pause. I want to thank Doug publicly for his hospitality. I then made the choice to leave Rocks Off for reasons that I made well known.
I also found myself posting elsewhere for the first time since I was banned from the Lounge. With the stress of being a highly successful, powerful attorney, self made millionaire, loving father, husband, and mentor to Monster (please note, he would have been a show dog if not for an undecended testicle), I no longer have time to carry other boards. I had my fun splashing around in the kiddy pool, now its time once again for adult swim. I harbor no ill feelings towards other boards, but until the day comes where I feel I must start my own board, I no longer feel the need to perform weekly CPR to boards that continue to discuss the same interesting topics each week.
I would like to first thank all of you who sent numerous PM’s, emails, letters, etc. Without you, I would not be returning. Thanks to Pug, Joey, Moonie, and my other loyal friends for supporting me and keeping my legacy alive on Rocks Off. Pug has briefed me on the new direction of the board. This is not a chat room, yet a stones information board. While certain posts, such as the legendary Pug of the Day, Howe can this happen, Superblow, tribute to Pete Townsend, and others are allowed to live on, they must remain confined.
I humbly accept the public apology offered by joey and pug on behalf of others. My enemies list is wiped clean. I cannot say for sure how my return will be handled, but I ask all of you to understand that I am a big/tall man with all the plusses and minuses that go with that. (If confused, please see LBJ circa 1965). This will help me decide if I shall take my family to the Miami show. If I fall under severe attack here, I may attend this show solo, I cannot put Mrs. jb or my fine children in harms way if I am potentially looking at a physical, blindsided attack. I have always stood for peace and will not be prepared to defend myself against an angry mob.
On a personal note, I am disappointed that the Miami Heat was ousted from the playoffs by a bunch of no talent thugs. Just this past weekend, a man verbally attacked the Miami Heat while my wife and I were at one of the many “hot spots” enjoying a drink in Boca Raton. He was a Detroit fan, and obviously I completely humiliated him by informing him of the poor ticket sales in Comerica Park. His only defense was a few bland, unoriginal lawyer jokes, to which I laughed at and asked if he was even able to afford talking to me and my extremely high hourly rate. That night as I sped home in my Porsche, I was almost too ill to my stomach to drink any of my Johnny Walker Blue Label in my four seasons room which overlooks my stunning pool and deck.
This has led me to the statement that I shall not travel outside of Miami for a show this tour. I cannot bring myself to sit in half empty arenas. For those of you who are flying across the country to see the stones, there will be one less person sitting in the Gold Club rooms in airports, and one more first class seat available. If I do catch one show outside of Florida, it will only be as a gesture of friendship to those who do not judge.
I continue to suffer from flank pain, chronic IBS, benign fasciculation, and other stress related conditions. This includes rectal irritation, burning sensations upon urination, swollen glands, loose skin, and a very painful bile duct. Lately, this stress has caused scalp twitching, which I fear is a symptom of a major, terminal ailment. My staff of physicians has recently informed me that my prostate is in fine shape, small and smooth, but I fear they have not performed an adequate amount of tests to confirm their diagnosis. Combine this with my fear of ALS, obsessive compulsive behavior, and heightened level of paranoia; I feel the time is right for me to come back to where I belong….Rocks Off.
While I cannot guarantee that I will maintain the new direction of the board as an information location, I will inject some life and shake things up a bit. To start with, Joey…welcome to the 16K party, mind you that is not congratulation.
Tee Hee!

Although the Summit did not feel "complete" without jb with us, Joey and i were on Fire (see: Mick Jagger during Midnight Rambler 1-25-06 approximately 3:35 into the song)

The Summit was inspired by a historic performance by The Rolling Stones, their first in over 40 years in Nebraska, on January 29, 2006. The show will almost certainly become a significant one in Stones history (see Altamont, etc.). It was blistering from start to finish and curiousity has only intensified as a bootleg recording has yet to surface (officially). Sources also reported the Stones stayed in Omaha for several days following the show to enjoy the area and relax with new friends.
