I do know that he is a State College resident and is known by many on this board.

Any insight you might be able to provide would be sincerely appreciated.

Oh man. When I read that post I took it lightheartedly. Since he has not posted since, it does sound ominous. I pray he's OK.

Crap! How did I miss this? He is a great poster. I hope he is well.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

He's the only poster I've ever met. Good guy. Marple Newtown boy - where you at?

 

[Victor E. Bell]

I just met him at PSU Hockey not long ago. I gather he's taking a break from here. I'm sure I'll see him when hockey starts up again. He is a good poster and a good guy to talk to.

In an abundance of caution, can you please contact him and have him explain his last post? "Drama" should only be used by MacDaddy so that we can at least recognize it.

No can do; I have contact info for a few guys here but not him.

A more general question I must ask because I have not attended many games the past few years: does BWI ever host a meet-up before games for posters? I would love to meet some of the regulars.

Maybe he has gas.

Yes. Here's a pic from the last one...

 

[psu00]

I hope both mn78psu83 and slwlion are doing well. I certainly don't want to pry into their business but the tone of both their posts did worry me a bit too.

EDIT- Also hope things went well for Westcoast24. His wife was apparently having serious health issues around Thanksgiving (IIRC). Haven't seen him post in a while either.

unfortunately, no

there have been situations where ABC poster invites board members to stop by their tailgate at site XYZ, and several members of the board community take them up on it.

I did try and push the idea with BWI many, many years ago, but there were a lot of obstacles to pulling it off on a game day, plus the BWI guys are working on game days.

If anyone has any ideas on how to make it work, I'm all ears.

Was this why mk is no longer around?

Fairgambit was out of control at that tailgate party.

Westcoast24 just posted that everything is ok.

In all fairness - i have invited board members to my tailgates over the years , alas you've managed to avoid me like chlamydia

Thanks Ned. I missed his post. Was thinking about his situation and hoping things were ok the past few weeks. Really appreciate the update.

I was just thinking that it would be something to get Barry, Guns, and ArtsandLetters together at a tailgate.

Gambit's a frigging maniac. You can tell from his posts. Wild mood swings, heavily armed at all times, he is a cruel and vicious brawler. I have seen a lot of ugly stuff in my time, but I saw him pistol whip a busboy at the IHOP and it still makes me sick to think about it.

"I said I wanted milk in my coffee and you bring these little plastic creamers. This is bullshit!"

If I recall correctly, aren't you the guy who crashes trailer hitches, wields a chainsaw and an axe, AND, lives in West Virginia? Kinda like calling the kettle black, eh?

I said I'd seen a lot of ugly things...just because I did em myself doesn't mean they don't count.

 

[Leo Ridens]

HA! The above responses are why I love this board. Tom, concerning my question about board tailgates, I recall back in the Plotit days that the board actually discussed a joint tailgate with the posters from the old Victors Valiant board. That board had a bunch of hilariously entertaining posters. It morphed into the Wolverine board and for whatever reason the activity and entertainment value shriveled to almost nothing. Given the current climate, I cannot imagine a joint tailgate with any other board today. Those were kinder and I suppose more naive times.

Thanks PPB. I'm still kicking, but on a self-imposed board sabbatical. After a little self-reflection, as VEB rightly surmised, I thought I could use a break. I'm also in the middle of a lot of reading and study. By the way, was there any discussion concerning Barkley's run in the Rose Bowl? What about that 3rd and 4 call? JM on the hot seat?

Happy New Year!

Best wishes to everyone.

Don't stay away too long. I'd hate to have to come up there and straighten you out. If I come, fairgambit is coming with me.

We were youngins then. Maybe 10 years?

I think the real question is which one of you buggers gave mm2 the clap.

At least it wasn't a picture of two dudes.

They were 29.

Nice to hear from you mn78psu. Pleas put fair on a leash, there may be cheerleaders around.

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

I've had the pleasure of meeting some posters IRL, @mn78psu83, @AngryOtter, @Relayer, @Grucci, @WTNuke, @Victor E. Bell mostly at hockey games.

We should all get little name badges with our board handles. Hilarity would ensue.
