OT: How hard do you Yard?

[RichZ]

How about adding - You know what "Fort the ead" means and 1 bonus point if you were present when it first was written

10 if you were the originator.

I'm not sure if I've had a drink with mauconnfan at one of the BYCs but since I can't remember I didn't give myself a point.

I wasn't around here until right after the 2001-2002 season so I didn't get any points for things before that time.

My nickname is Mano, my actual name is

What about the "Feast & Rout" when someone (Was it Nomar?) won an auction for a block of seats for a home game at the Civic Center? Game was so good I have no recollection of who we played. Or when it was. I thought it was Brown, but I don't think we ever played them in Hartford. Maybe Wagner? It was somebody inconsequential.

[FartMan69]

Im often hard on the yard.

 

[Deepster]

Yeah, but my name is actually Peter.

Iron Mike used to post here. His name was not Mike and he was not made of iron.

 

[FatElvis]

I also got a big fat zero and, to put you above me here at the bottom of the rankings, I don't even know what a bronze filigree is.

Chin up, I have no idea who Dr. Dos is or why he felt the need to hand out bronze filigrees in the first place.

I believe that was one of Fishy's exact observations from the first BYO.

 

[Deepster]

I believe that was one of Fishy's exact observations from the first BYO.

A toddler could have made that observation.

Inspired by those Facebook posts that count how many states you’ve visited or what weird foods you’ve tried, here is a list of historical Yard items to show just how big a Yarder you really are.

Unless indicated otherwise, give yourself 1 point for every item you know or have accomplished. Maximum of 28 pts available.

• I used to go on the Hartford Courant UConn message board “The Husky Howl”.
• I used to go on the bball.com UConn/umass rivalry message board.
• I have attended a BYC. Add an additional bonus point if you were on a winning team.

• I contributed to the main Senhor Testiculo thread.

• I have eaten a chicken wing or drank a Rolling Rock solely for good Mojo on a gaemday.

"A drink"??

 

[Chin Diesel]

Somewhere between 10-12.

 

[jleves]

14 for the original list.
Addendum suggestion: You've read at least 3 Good, Bad and Ugly Fishy posts.

 

[tykurez]

9 without ever having met any of the creeps on here in real life.

Speaking of, if anyone has ever met chief in real life they get a 2x bonus.

 

[Fishy]

I guess that's why they pay you the big bucks.

 

[uconnfan68]

About 12. Went to Memorial Stadium long before the BY though.

 

[Dove]

I believe that was one of Fishy's exact observations from the first BYO.

Dubbed him Wicker Mike.

 

[Peacefrog]

Dubbed him Wicker Mike.

Shut up Dove. Sorry, I needed the extra point.

 

[Yardigan]

Shut up, Dove... makes 3. Casual as it gets, but willing to work on it.

ETA: @Dove ... I don't know the guy, but it's only right...

 

[temery]

Tom you must know this.

That should be a yes.

 

[Adios]

Score is a 4. And not supporting this Deepster-sponsored abuse of Dove when he can't even handle being abused in Hartford.

 

[pepband99]

Deep, you need to adjust your scales a bit. How many people have been sentenced/hung, total? 10? 20?

...as opposed to how many people who have had a drink with mauconnfan - that's the population of Rhode Island, probably.
