Flaming Assholes check egos at the door

[greendog]

BIG SKY, Mont. — There's no dry cleaner, no car wash, nowhere to get a blow dry or a manicure. Looking for a sushi restaurant? You'll have to settle for a buffalo burger at the Corral Bar & Grill. The closest place to park your private plane is at the Bozeman airport, an hour's drive down a two-lane road.

Big Sky is no Aspen, Colo. But the super rich are flocking here anyway.

The lure: the Yellowstone Club, a private, millionaires-only resort community whose amenities more than make up for Big Sky's lack of a traffic light or a designer boutique. With 22 square miles of mostly wilderness, it's the only private club in America that owns a ski mountain and a world-class golf course

1. I don't understand your subject line...

or is that some attempt to inflame the following DU discussion?

2. Did you read the article?

3. Yep...I do not recall reading "Flaming assholes"

5. I saw this paragraph...

"That's because just being rich does not guarantee entry. Members also must heed the personal motto of Yellowstone Club founder and timber magnate Tim Blixseth: Check your ego at the door"

...and I got a laugh at the idea of people building multi-million dollar second homes "checking their egos at the door". Seemed like the perfect definition of "flaming asshole" to me. :)

6. Ah, gotcha. LOL

Thanks for the clarification.

7. I don't get this thread title either. I read the article and it just

sounds like Bixselth or whatever his name is has to think you are "nice". Dan Quayle? Bill Gates? Seems like both of them are flaming assholes to me.

4. interesting choice of words

First I thought you meant it was a Mexican Restaurant, then I just realized it was a poor choice of words.
