Title: Old farts check-in
Post by: Ranger12 on December 21, 2023, 05:22:59 PM
Coming back on the board after a long hiatus go me to thinking about when this board was started and even the board that led to this board being created. Then it got me to thinking how long ago that was and how f-ing old I am now. I was in my mid-20s back then and just turned 50 a couple of months ago.  Who all is still around from the beginning of the board, how old are you now, and who have we lost?

Actually, this is a very small fraternity of folks left over from the Nation.  It's quaint, but we like it.  And ripping each other at every opportunity is still mandatory when posting, so prepare thy anus.

Wiregrass Tiger is the only one we don't like here, but since we have no mods, we have no way to ban him, or spike his warn meter.

I was an add-on back in 2008 from Auburn Undercover by the grace of GH & jmar. Also had run ins with K back in those days on that site until fatass P-Marsh started posting. That caused a mass exodus. Also took a long hiatus from here, but checked in from time to time as a lurker to see what these gentlemen were up to.

WT will give you all the hot goss.

I had a couple of mini run ins with a dude called Galen and just sort of fell in here through the swinging doors.
The females ran to safety and all that's left here now is like a movie we've all seen in a western town that once thrived. I'm not gonna describe the remaining members or their titles but it's a special collection of first rate assholes.

And I'm going to set the record straight. It was you and GH that got me over here. I had no board to call home and you two talked me into signing on here. My writing skills were just too good to be true and this place needed a severe upgrade. So it was really out of pity that I'm here. I cant help it if nobody here understands me.

Kaos, first of his name, lord of the bammers, protector of the realm, hand in the Raven, voice of the masses, scribe of the ancient scrolls, follower of Shug, defender of Dye, benetbeot of Galen, a noble patriot who believes in God, guts and glory, the omnipotent and eternal. 

Here. 

I like to think I’m less of an asshole but there are bodies on the floor, slain by my hand during the t-Rex wars, the battle of 2016, and numerous other skirmishes.  I have some regrets.

2016...was that the famous Prowler battle where you wished each other were abortions?

I met Howard and a couple others way back around 2003 on the al.com forums...

Which led to a brief thing called The Geek's Brain...

Which we all abandoned (more or less) to post at aunation.net...

Which led to some severe anus puckering amongst their mods resulting in...

The creation of this bastion of misfits.

Aye. There were several that fell during that glorious melee.  Some from immediate wounds, others from minor cuts and scrapes that turned gangrenous. 

There were also some who were laid to waste but never realized it and have continued to flail.   

Some conflagrations, like the traitorous battle of the sexes, are better not spoken of.

Sounds like I missed some fun drama in 2016. So you guys ran off Jenny? What about Randall and Adam?

I am pretty sure Randall was one of the refs for the AHSAA Final Four game for the team I coached back in 2018.

We lost Godfather to AIDS a few years back. I hope that he and Uncle Sani weren’t as “close” as everyone assumed.

No clue what happened to Jenn.

Adam is a big wig with Armed Forces Network and I haven’t heard from him in years. 

My last Final Four was in 2016.  Are you saying all referees look alike?  That’s racist!

I do see Adam posting stuff on the Facebooks from time to time. 
 
I swore you were one of the officials for our Final Four game against Georgianna that year. Almost went up to say something to you, but knew the protocol in those games for you guys was to avoid any type of pre-game conversations with the coaches outside of the official pre-game talk.

Emerges from the pre-Instagram primordial ooze...

Still a few recognizable mugs from days of yore here, likely more than a few consigned to the dustbin of history. 

The AUNation schism around '08 is what I remember contributing to this site getting rolling, and I think Tiger Wench told me about it.

I was actually trying to confirm something I read recently about Wayne Bylsma and this site popped up as one of the first search results.  So, fuck it, I decided to look around again.

It's a little odd to think about these sorts of boards being generational now, but here we are.

Back to your regularly scheduled cogitations...

Chicks don’t use “primordial ooze” in a sentence. Also, I have a 50% chance of accuracy in my assumption, as there are only 2 genders.

what the fuck you mean, 2 genders? Wes will beat the…well, Wes will ban the fuck out of you.

All kidding aside, you’re just joking, right?

Apologize and maybe he will let you stay. And don’t say nagger, either.

Thanks for the (re) welcome, Snakebite.  I tend to be kind of like that stupid orange ghost in Pac-Man who just wanders around aimlessly with no plan whatsoever, but occasionally stumbles into a quality contribution.  Gotta get my bearings again with the Australian Rules Football, knock the hell out of each other posting styles here.

Nice to know I put us at the top of the list again. I have an acquaintance that attended the funeral that let me know. I have yet to see anything out there regarding his passing yet. It’s eerily quiet.

You got that right.
I'm not one to forget the vitriol I took for my stance on the Doobies kicking Tom Johnston to the curb in favor of Michael McDonald.

So very recently upon news that there's a Doobies reunion in the works these same "members" now say they liked Johnston better. Waffling bastards!


I don't recall Bylsma and Stankunas beatboxing together before the Hall of Fame game in 1990 but I can picture two grown seniors riding together to this concert in a pickup, singing off key while crying their eyes out to 'You don't know me but Im your brother, Michael Fucking McDonald.
How do you like that?


Welcome!

Quality contributions are no longer tolerated around here. I don’t know what things were like back when you boys started this as a chain letter but today, you’ll not be finding it. Things had already pretty much gone to shit after Godfather ran the x off a cliff like Biden is doing with the country. Only GF didn’t do it on purpose. He could fuck up a wet dream. May he rest in peace but he was a forevermore fucked up individual. His rules were silly and he used to let Wes get away with more than anyone else because Wes gave him some of that ass. And let him do rim jobs.
