You love him, you hate him, you're ecstatic when he finally leaves town. Wish I could see your first post (lots of hair is what has downloaded so far), but my 14.4 baud connection is still painting the image.
So many faves, but had the time of my life bantering with Clan Lees (
@etl1227 ) in 2015 as we wound through an amazing season having some spirited debates in the Love vs Lees vs Brods POY action.
- Most of those debates were fueled/arbitrated by the pot-stirrer in chief @JCHILLTOPPERS who was always witty and fair.
- Best high falutin commentary has been provided by @MWittman a true gentleman who always kept me honest
- Best posts that make me break out my slide rule have been provided by @Catch--22
- @Cross Bones will always be a fave because he sticks his neck out for abuse as much as anyone on this board but is always a totally solid dude
- I enjoyed cracking open the Dom with @mchsalumni on my yacht in The Glen when he brought the Beluga
- Always loved @goomsback because he had that ref knowledge and always gave it to those that called out "The Privates" for their unfair advantages
- Enjoyed but didn't always love the heated barking of some of my fellow Hitter faithful posters, but they probably share @SoCliche's glee in my exit
- Gotta say I still love @Big C 80 and happy he gets to avoid the distractions I may have caused because he has a monster team this year
- I too miss @VoodooTatum but I have a hunch that "guy" was really another poster stirring the pot
- I didn't always love @feeto when he picked upsets against my boys, but he always wrapped it in such thoughtful prose that encouraged debate I could never stay mad
- And where would any of us be without our weekly dose of @LakeCtyNewt ? You might have the horses this year newt and I, like many, will be supremely happy for you if there is a parade at Six Flags this year
- Found the caustic humor of @DeanOfSelection to be the perfect trap for those with an ax to grind or team to promote
- Enjoyed the spirited fight in @ramblinman when he could build immensely entertaining arguments
- Pretty sure I exited on good terms with the @corey90 @epicbret @Bowie50 @kitty_bintingot
- And finally, @MS4EVER When they handed out empathy and class, this guy was at the front of the line. He never wore the Swagger title as an in your face attitude during my time around here, as he was always the first to swallow the sting of a bitter loss with a congratulatory post to his opponent. Watching him taught me that while you will have great, and I mean great, years, you better be ready to face your words in the future should the table turn.
If i forgot anyone, my apologies, my brain has softened since I fell off the grid.
Overall, you guys represent some of the most intellectually fulfilling times I have had in my adult life. That concept is so sad that I had no choice but to pack up and retreat to my own temple of solace here in the mountains of WNC. I still get to read some fun stuff on this board and thanks to Edgy, I haven't yet been tossed for my many indiscretions. I still write way too many words, but you guys are the only human contact I've had in six weeks.
Cheers Boys!
