It Is Time....

Nah. I'm done.

The old guard who used to make this great is no longer around. Dogfather, Gars44, RabidHusky, SuzyQ, AussieCuz, etc, etc. I've thought about this for a while now and I don't want to be Sinatra on stage, forgetting the lyrics to songs and way past his prime. We had a good run, but I'm retired from the bench.

There are reasons that these positions are lifetime appointments.

So, I agree with the previous poster. Stick your own head in the noose and deliver up a proper pathway forward.

I don't know Deep, I heard Tony Bennett who has Alzheimers singing with Lady Gaga - that could be you!

I’m still out there forgetting lyrics every weekend. Suck it up.
 


is that the kid from the flying saucer show? if so, mebbe it's a cosmic message foretelling our need for a new hangman, cuz if we don't find one, then this place could be lost in space. not pretty.

Which, well, the obvious and honorable hasn't really ever been part of the tradition.

I mean, you could thank me for the 4 titles and decades of service, I guess. Or maybe you're more focused on some weirdo that drinks hot sauce on Twitter and hasn't gotten us anywhere near a natty yet.

I am reminded of the old joke about the plastic surgeon.

He hung himself!

You're making my point for me, A-Dub. I'm trying to get out in front of being you.

I dunno Deep. I think the ingredients are here this year.

We've got Skinner making an appearance with Charli and Dixie's dad, which gives you the chance of landing viral mojo on TikTok that will make your daughter proud. Then maybe you can ride off into the sunset with No. 5.

We've got a maniacal coach who wears socks that profess his love for pooping.

We've got more doubting Thomases than an Easter Sunday mass.

We've got @August_West willing to give back another 10-15 pounds of weight loss in service of weird dietary excesses that he is somehow convinced will conjure mojo.

And we've got @Dove saying things that make you want to tell him to shut up.
 
I should be safe this year - I have gotten much better at internetting. Looking forward to seeing who gets it this time around.

All good points. Especially the potential of reaching 25 million people on a social media app I don't really understand.

And yes. Shut up, Dove.

Retire? One doesn't quit from taking a Yankee conference program to four national championships! One dies with their boots on! You don't get to say it's over.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
 
I bought 4 tickets to late-career BB King. Cost me over $500. It was pathetic. He didn't finish a single song. Noodled a bit, told a bunch of shaggy-dog stories. Unlike Deep, he didn't know when to get out.

yes, I could thank you and be grateful. Much like I could thank my dad having a weak pull out game and the creation of me. I could be grateful for the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor. I could be grateful for the written language, creation of the internet and a bunch of other stuff.

But I'm not one to dwell on past accomplishments. I'm a forward looking person always trying to improve going forward.

In this case McFly, it's Back To The Future.

Whatever. You do what you need to do. I highly doubt any one will internet tough guy you in to doing you don't want to do. What's another championship. We have four. Should just be satisfied.

BB who? How many national championships was he responsible for?

(I saw him in Stamford not many years before he passed away. I thought it was still a good show.)

Good move. Would hate to see you resort to grilling hot dogs with pimento sticks.

I have realized that Boars Head All Beef Frankfurters in the air fryer for two minutes is pure heaven for a hot dog and every other method is just dumb.
