He got a new account this year and made 1 post, which was to skylive5's birthday.

I'm pretty sure I don't qualify even though I've been around a long time, and recognize most of the OG guys checking in as the normal crowd back in the day. Hard to believe the salty guy named Irish is the same one answering thousands of advice questions in the advice section. I guess he's living a double life... You're not and posting in every thread doesn't make you one. I don't even think I am since I didn't start posting till 2004 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Brown Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 11 hours ago, irish said: LOL, you learn quickly, if you're part of the "in crowd" you can mock others and give people a hard time, and the others in the "in crowd" support them in the mocking, very much like high school bullies. If you're not in the "in crowd", you're just an A- hole. At first, as a complete newbie tool, I took the bait and was offended all the time, I was a stupid kid. Now, you just bust back, move on and go shoot the shizz in the advice forum. The irony is some of the same people who have given me crap here are the same ones that will shoot me a text, PM or post in that thread. You live long enough, you learn to let the little garbage go. Life's to short. This is .............something. Sad, I think is the word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on my bookshelf still (I think). Ever since I had kids and the real estate crash happened, I haven't had the cash to go to Vegas as much as I used to. I'm hopeful that once COVID settles down that I'll be able to get out there with the likes of BC, twiley, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yeah, I think I still have my copy of msaints book lying around somewhere - i think it survived the fire, I'll have to check around for it. And if you have to ask if your OG, you definitely aren't. If you are OG, then you know about the couch in the corner with the Cheetoh dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In its own completely obsolete and antiquated way, maybe it helped a few people pick up a few tips but MORE THAN THAT, just get a kick out of the insanity, fun, craziness of this pastime/hobby/obsession. I'm just pisssssssssed I didn't think of DFS first before Eccles or Robbins....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey hyperbole rules the interwebs.

That's a good starting point, but even so it doesn't necessarily make you an original gangsta. Guys like BC were here from the very beginning. I didn't even show up here until a few years later and didn't become active on the boards until they started becoming more popular, so there are a lot of those old guys who've known each other for many years that don't know me from Adam. I didn't respond because I consider myself "OG," I responded because I've known Keg (the OP) for a really long time. We've been in many leagues together, including one of the oldest and longest running BotH leagues. We've talked many times and I even got the pleasure of spending some time with him and his wife while I was traveling for work. He also sent my kids each a stuffed bear from his business after they'd lost most of their stuff in hurricane Katrina. So I answered because I'd had a personal relationship with him, as I'm sure many others who've responded have. So it's nothing about being part of some clique like irish suggests. It's just guys who've known each other for a really long time just like anything else. You're good peeps, Raj. 3 line max response so I know you'll read this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
