April 10, 201214 yr I've been fortunate in that I've been able to meet a number of the folks on the board — too many to name, as I'm sure I'd forget someone. I'm always game for meeting others, especially the ones with whom I have the most heated arguments, if for no other reason than to laugh when they realize I'm a pretty good guy, despite my sometimes abrasive online personality. In other words, I want to meet you all! This post just warms my heart. :lol:
April 10, 201214 yr Would like to meet Habib. Union guy who obviously very intelligent (or does a good job faking it?), so we have a lot in common. :lol: Well, I live in Union anyways. An accurate description if there ever was one! :lol: I'd definitely like to meet coop too, forgot that one in my initial haphazard list.
April 10, 201214 yr Realizing I forgot some, which is probably why I shouldn't have said anyone specifically. Woodsrider, RTS, AJG, CWB. Heck, I'll even throw in acemona just for the sake of a good face-to-face argument. :lol:
April 10, 201214 yr Somewhere in the early 2000s before I joined BGP my dad posted on some message board. He told me he had some people from out of town that were on the same board coming through NKY and that he was going to meet them. I told him he was nuts. You don't meet people that you've only talked to online. Absurd! Well, roll ahead a few years and I'm a BGPer. I realized then that you can become interested in meeting people and they're almost always good people. I've said before that a dude I now consider to be a brother was first met on BGP. I've met a lot of good people. Heck, I've attended visitations for BGPers family member. I can go through my phone contacts of my "boys" and many are BGPers. I guess my dad was a trendsetter.
April 10, 201214 yr I need to add that I've only ever met one BGP'er and he died a few months later. Anyone up for a beer? I can recommend some folks if you'd like.
April 10, 201214 yr Still haven't met a single BGP'er. Came close to meeting Randy Parker at one of the UK pros games, but I couldn't remember where he said he was sitting when I got there. :lol:
April 10, 201214 yr I'm a pretty good guy, despite my sometimes abrasive online personality. I can vouch for Jim. In person, he's not half the horrible, despicable, hard-headed, mean-spirited, sarcastic, closed-minded, evil, obstinate, vicious, terroristic, backward, redneck goofball that he seems to be on BGP. Well...maybe more like three quarters. :idunno:
