hey, JAA. still in the Boston area? cuz i'm moving from NM to Billerica in the fall & you still owe me a Denny's/Hilltop's from my story thread yrs ago.
i see u linked your grief thread - my sympathies, btw - into a thread in which ive made most of the posts. there's a lot to process in your thread & a couple of months since - i was wondering if there was something you wanted to say/ask specifically of me about where your grief/fear issues are at presently.
i took dialogues with ##### & ##### resulting from that thread off the page & into PMs cuz most of this not everyone's business & you've only to ask for me to do the same with you. if not, no biggie. all the best -
Well crap...2 dogs/4 cats.I suppose I qualify as an OG/old timer. Original username had 2000 in the name so that's about when I first jumped in. Coulda been a 3 digiter when the new boards came about but I was asleep at the wheel. Life is good, relatively healthy, only one fake body part so far (metal hip) but more to come. Staying active, working way too much, kids are grown. Our daughter married her HS sweetheart a few years ago (he's a badass but absolutely great) and they gave us an awesome grandson who provides us endless entertainment. And joy, lots of joy; giving back to his mom what she gave to us all those years ago. "He's wild!" Yeah, apple<-> tree honey. Love it! Wife retired from her job and spends most of her time taking care of her parents. They might be moving in with us, which could be challenging for sure, we'll see. One positive there is her mother can cook, something she didn't seem to pass to her daughter. 3 dogs/4cats (animal farm is shrinking). Took a self-imposed break from here for a while but glad to be back.
Stay healthy my friends!
as long as we are walking down memory lane here can someone tell me what the jumpy and quo thing was about i remember it happening but i dont remember what it was about take that to the bank brohans
Good memory.
Hmmm, never heard of it. We always used paypal to transfer money.@cosjobs had me playing on that Australia? site. I remember using Firepay to "transfer" moneyI miss the old days where we used to play poker on pokerstars

Too rich to hang out with all you losers.
I went into my PMs because I was looking for what I /thought/ was my oldest PM.
I moved to MA from MD. I asked for advice from, as I tell my wife "FootballGuys internet", on what snow blower to buy now that I lived in New England. Some fire fighter who I forget the username of recommended I buy 2 models up from what I was looking at. Total price was $2k. Now, this was like 16 years ago. He said to me "No one ever wakes up after a snow storm and says my snow blower is too big". He also informed me "the depth of the storm is not the most important, what's important is the plow blow-by built up at the end of your driveway."
I bought that Ariens snow blower ~16 years ago for $2k. It has never broke down on me once. I just did a major preventive service on it myself this pre-season. Every year I think about this FBG poster and wish I could thank him. Not once have I woken up saying "Wow, I have too much snow blower"
:snowblower:
Wasnt that "couch" or something got translated to jumpy quote ?as long as we are walking down memory lane here can someone tell me what the jumpy and quo thing was about i remember it happening but i dont remember what it was about take that to the bank brohans
Had to be. He had like 80,000 posts in 4 months. Most of them were either an emoji or a one-word post, but he was proud of it.Was it Zippy?
I thought it was Woz, when there was a formatting error, but my memory is horrible these days. Maybe he piggy-backed on it.there was some guy in the shark pool who would post really hilariuos but wierd takes something like beast or something like that and he made me laugh i thought he was the jumpy and quo originator but i might be wrong does anyone remember that brochacho take that to the bank
Correct. Back in my youthful days with dating prospects and free time (that I probably squandered to an extent), I saw a very attractive girl at the gym and, as I did back in those days when I had a random thought or insignificant life event, I started a thread about it.as long as we are walking down memory lane here can someone tell me what the jumpy and quo thing was about i remember it happening but i dont remember what it was about take that to the bank brohans
The board used to (and continues to?) cut off thread titles sometimes and adds some jibberish text at the end that includes quo. Happened to a @Zow thread.
Perfect memory. All true.I thought it was Woz, when there was a formatting error, but my memory is horrible these days. Maybe he piggy-backed on it.there was some guy in the shark pool who would post really hilariuos but wierd takes something like beast or something like that and he made me laugh i thought he was the jumpy and quo originator but i might be wrong does anyone remember that brochacho take that to the bank
I don't know if I was the lone reason, but shortly before he left he sent me a pm to tell me how much he disliked me and was considering leaving the board.What ever happened to @melvintscupper :mts: Sorry if my notebook is not up to date on him

Was it 1 or 2 ounces?Correct.

IIRC, I wanted to say that said girl gave me a "jumpy feeling inside." This was, in my belief at the time, thread worthy because most of my threads were about not getting over a particular ex-gf and, therefore, if another girl made me feel " all jumpy inside" this was a good sign that I was on my way to getting over the ex-gf.
However, my thread title was too long and it cut off after jumpy. So, even though it's not what I typed, the thread title because something along the lines of "Hey Guys! This girl made me feel all jumpy&quo."
So then I got made fun of and it became a thing. I never edited it and instead piggybacked off of it when talking about other girls, etc.
I forgot about the CurlyboardNot much of a poster, but have been here since Cheetsheets. Fantasy football started for me in 1991. Might mix some of this up with FFToday.
I got all my 9/11 information here.
Remember the camping thread (Man with a Yellow Hat?)
Curlyboard
yoga pants, who's hottest
I started officiating football in 01. NCAA made me give up Fantasy Football in 2012ish. I have been quite happy without it.
I don't think I have met anyone from here. But I have learned a lot of great things.
Of course it was the bold.Was it 1 or 2 ounces?Correct.

... too soon?
:jaa:
15-20 years ago I had 2 arch-nemesis's. One was @MelvinTScupper and the other was @PickI don't know if I was the lone reason, but shortly before he left he sent me a pm to tell me how much he disliked me and was considering leaving the board.What ever happened to @melvintscupper :mts: Sorry if my notebook is not up to date on him

I forgot about Peens. Oh gosh, how long was he around? I usually have a good memory about this"Couch" was Peens (Pino). I believe he stole it from the Chappelle's Show Rick James skit.
Not sure if it counts as a cornhole, but Peens was the first board member I ever spoke to either on the phone or in person as we were in a fantasy league together. Really deep voice. This was so long ago that I have a memory of taking the call in my childhood home's basement.
Well and an identifying trait is that he'd quote from some post multiple pages prior that really wasn't on point anymore.I honestly don't ever recall that, just Hipple swooping in and replying to like 100 posts with one sentence at most, and then *poof* he was gone for a few days again.Yessir. That was my schtick, but if you want to say it was @hippling ... fine@JAA bigtime into the Hippling
Well, the house I remember speaking to him on the phone from was sold in 2002 or 2003 IIRC.I forgot about Peens. Oh gosh, how long was he around? I usually have a good memory about this"Couch" was Peens (Pino). I believe he stole it from the Chappelle's Show Rick James skit.

Everyone always said I Hippled, so I cant say otherwiseI honestly don't ever recall that, just Hipple swooping in and replying to like 100 posts with one sentence at most, and then *poof* he was gone for a few days again.Yessir.

like 98% certain @Otis was involved in that oneNo one has mentioned and BIF love in here.
I forget all the playa's, but I do remember @mr. furley sent me my first BIF. At least thats what I was remembering. Lots of packers schtick. I still have the video of the opening of that package somewhere.
They were called emoticons back then!Had to be. He had like 80,000 posts in 4 months. Most of them were either an emoji or a one-word post, but he was proud of it.Was it Zippy?

Yep, those were the peak times.Another important notable in FBG lore was important times of the day. IIRC around 10am ET is when the board would pick up. And Friday around like 9-10am ET there was quite often chaos. Some of those Friday threads were the best. Pullman blanket anyone?
I came over with the exodus from the Huddle boards when they turned their board into subscription-only, and I was a poor student. I was on Old Yeller; remember the migration, and the rush to sign up to get a three digit member number. Mostly reading, and making innocuous and forgettable posts ever since. I may have posted in the internet dating thread a bit — married 13 years now. Son in first grade. Two pugs (lost one earlier this year).
