Whatever Happened to...

You're still the same.

Ya know, I just now got your pun. Your reference to a Seger song, in response my Seger song pun.
Sorry, I can be slow times
I did have a traumatic brain injury, ya know

Well, I hope you didn't spend a lot of time wondering 'what the hell does he mean?!'...

Sometimes. And ya know what that feels like to me ?
Runnin against the wind

Seems like yesterday.

twa, the gentleman from Pasadena, Texas, who fixes cars.
Very funny man, and very, very humble
He was so humble in fact, that he did not capitalize a single letter in his username, when he had every right to capitalize all three

Miss him...and the other car expert ; Springfield

Spaceman Spiff? Don’t know why he popped in my head. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My doc said that twa was the source of my high blood pressure. We went at it so many times on ES.
But he kicked cancer's ass. (tips cap)

Plus his music recommendations in the youtube thread were top notch. Discovered lots of great stuff because of him.

zoony ?

I know he wasn't happy with the way the site was being managed and the way a certain staff member elected himself supreme dictator. He might have just quietly dropped out as I did. But I'm not positive about that.

 

[Mickalino]

Yeah. For good reason

Glad HH is still out there. Hope he's doing well.

Hey burg,
I remember once you were on the verge of book publishing.
I hope that went well

It has. In fact, I just sold another one! It is slated for release in March.

This one may be the funniest one I've ever written. It's been described as Who Framed Roger Rabbit meets Michael Chabon (Kavalier and Clay, Yiddish Policeman's Union) Boone has already given me permission to shamelessly talk about it when the time is right

Awesome. I bet if you and Bang collaborated on some work, it would be a big thing !

 

[burgold]

That would be fun.

What I'd love to see happen with this thread is, when a former member (whether here on BGO or previously on ES) is mentioned, we make an active effort across social media to find them and get them back here. I think a lot of fans just got fed up during the worst of the Snyder years and moved on from spending time on Washington football. Then there are those (actually on both ends of the political spectrum) who either were disgusted by some of the things the NFL promoted (social justice, players kneeling during the anthem, etc...) or on the opposite end, were disgusted by some of the misogynistic practices they perceived the NFL as turning a blind eye to (strip show cheerleaders, protecting owners and executives including Snyder caught engaging is unsavory practices, etc...). I know folks who used to be very active fans and members here who essentially walked away from the NFL for those divergent reasons.

It's a new day as DC football fans. I miss some of those guys and wish they'd come back home.

Anyway, just a fleeting thought... instead of just having a 'members no longer here who we greatly miss' thread, why not use it to try and go out and find those folks and get them re-energized?
