Coincidence that one is a punch dummy and the other a quadriplegic? I think not.

I sometimes find it quite funny who gets lumped in with the "good 'ol boys" of past posters. For instance, Pickleprince. He was no wheres near a great poster. He had some good one-liners, I'll allow. But for the longest time I could barely tolerate him. Then, when I finally got used to him, or rather numbed enough to where my stomach didn't turn when I saw his name, he disappeared in a puff of pachuli and pumpkin seeds.

Now he's often mentioned in tones of reverence. Hell, I should disappear for a while, even I could become one of the missed ones mentioned in whispered veneration.



I came along after most of the people you guys speak of. Pickle has shown up a couple of times and I never figured out why everyone was "on his jock".


Moe ... I saw your twin last night, and he goes to Cal State LA.

/begins furious scribbles in re-write mode because he f'ucking loathes Frank DeFord.



Oops! He's the only sports writer that I'm actually aware of nowadays...my bad! =P

He does regular spots on NPR's morning edition. He's the sportswriters equivalent of an East Coast Liberal. Occasionally he gets a good yarn going, but he basicly a damn yankee who should take any opportunity he gets to shut up. Unless he's berating Steinbrener for spending too much money.

If you don't actually mention the "other's" name explicitly, he won't find this thread in his daily search and post here.

That's how I know about him currently - NPR. I also remember him from when he was an analyst on tv (not sure if he still does that). I know he's written in Sports Illustrated as well.

He's a senior writer for SI, does a spot on HBO's sports show with Bryant Gumble or Bob Costas or whoever is doing it now, and is on ESPN from time to time, as well as NPR.

Oh, he'll read it. He may not dignify it with a comment, but he'll read it.

What I always get a kick out of here is when Smash appears and starts a thread. It's like some of you are stumbling over each other to post in it.

Oh look! Smash is here!

Quick, to the post mobile!

Smiley: disappointed


Don't get me wrong I like Smash when he's not on a political rampage; but then again, that's all he does anymore.




Guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm your hero bi[i][/i]tches.

Huh. Et tu, Brute? Of all the mainstays here on this board I never expected it of you, Mr. Cranky Puss. While my visitations have become... shall we say, infrequent, I hadn't thought that when I do make an occasional appearance I'd be compared to a doddering champion boxer or arthritic gridiron icon.

In truth, I'm not certain whether to be delighted or offended, so I shall be both. It is here where I would put in a gratuitous slap to your face, make a cutting remark, or RACK you for creating such a sterling thread, but I'm older and wiser now. More mature. A gentler and seasoned poster who makes reasoned responses to wild accusations and even wilder young'uns running around unsupervised.

Ahhhh, hahahaha, who am I kidding? I'm gonna tee up your head like Barry Bonds in is prime taking BP for being so insolent and churlish. However, it prolly isn't fair of me to pick on you when you're distracted from being elbows deep in baby poo and hyper-sensitive from packing on the pounds due feeding your grill leftover Gerbers, but your inability to say no to a lactating breast and a gooey carrot-butternut squash concoction isn't my problem. Being close to the curb weight of a mid sized automobile might be your's though. So might having the countenance of a morbidly obese gorgon, but I'm above pointing out your physical deformities.

Speaking of babies, when are you planning on Number Two? Granted, the mental picture of you on the couch sawing away laboriously on your wife, all the while taking occasional sips of Captain Morgan from a dual purpose Dixie cup that also serves as the spittoon for the Skoal dip firmly esconced in your lip isn't one we want to imagine, but now that that gruesome image is burned into our collective heads, let us know how that familially rich compost you planted your seed in is coming along. Hopefully a new branch will sprout from an otherwise genetically denuded family tree, which, incidentally, looks remarkably like Cocos nucifera. Frightening, isn't it? You can proudly display your genes to neighbors and friends via a Corona commercial. I guess if the kid has the unfortunate luck to resemble you, you can always name it "Wildebeest."

Anyhow, I'm off to enjoy the pleasures of apparent retirement. Due to early onset of bad knees and Parkinsons it's best if I'm not caught outside after dark. Besides, the in-home care nurses worry if I wander off for too very long. See ya.

Elinda, you have utterly boiled the essence of Asylum notoriety down to the bone. I suspect that if Jophiel left for six months, he'd eclispe us all.

It's cool to see some of the good old posters poke their heads up now and again.

This is why I'm not famous. Noone notices my extended absences. *tear tear*
