It Is Time....

[HuskyHawk]

I hate to admit it but @August_West's idea of hanging Benedict is by far the best idea in this thread.

I didn’t say hang Benedict. I said hang a Twitter dolt who sucks up to Benedict

I said it. But as others have pointed out, it could easily be misconstrued. He'd have to be in on it for the mojo to work.

 

[temery]

Deep is right. The hangings have gotten old.

 

[Waquoit]

Oh.

I say we hang Benedict.

Yeah, that FB hire was too good.

 

[Deepster]

Deep is right. The hangings have gotten old.

Maybe one last run for this ol' cowboy.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Deep is right. The hangings have gotten old.

They've gotten less creative. They've gotten less personal. They reflect a lack of people relating to each other in fun and quirky ways.

The people advocating for this tradition continuing are the ones holding on to the last bastion of what makes this place tolerable with all the other pissing matches and bad takes.

Go ahead and lean on killing this Tom, and watch the last of people looking for community leave message boards behind for good.

The reason Twitter is taking over is because they have a sense of community that's starting to die here. Don't deal it the death blow.

F Twitter. The Boneyard isn't going anywhere.

I didn’t say the yard was going anywhere. I said it’s losing its sense of community. Thank you for entering this into evidence.

 

[OkaForPrez]

@temery glad you’re doing well btw.

Best UConn Mojo of all time carried us to a 2014 title. I say we leave it to rest its too soon

I can get behind that. Two for the road!

I see what you did there. Well done.

Another way to look at it is as a bookend to the nightmare that was the AAC. And it continues the two theme.

twitter is lame. doesn’t move the needle at all to hang one of them, they would probably love the attention.

unfortunately it seems we peaked with señor, all subsequent attempts have just been chasing his greatness.

See now, @Deepster should have tipped his cap and rode off into the sunset along with Senor that year. He would’ve become legend, like Makers Muppet. Instead, he’s gone full Roberto Duran in left with a meek “no Mas.” It’s sad.

(And for the record wasn’t Senor originally @prankster ’s idea anyway?)

That's nuts.

I think that's fair. The heyday of the hangings and the sense of community came at a time when we did a lot of stuff together as a group.

Football tailgates at Memorial Stadium (pre-Rent)
A Sox game with maybe 25-30 yarders sitting together
An annual golf tournament. I want to say we did this 6-7 times.
Meet ups at the Big East tourney.

We knew each other's kids. Emailed each other personally off the site. Genuine sense of friendship and camaraderie.

What was the reply, when you made this similar comment that season?

"OK, so no animal nuts! Got it."

Or something to that effect. (?)

But, Senior Testiculo had had a board presence after each game that season. The tourney was the culmination/natural extension of the Senhor phenomenon from that entire season. (if the term "natural extension" is a permitted use in close conjunction with Senhor)

I sincerely doubt he can simply rotate to the top of the topic lines, this year, while trailing enough MOJO to get us where we need to be.

And, neither will doing nothing get us to where we need to be, either!

 

[prankster]

BTW....

WTF is it with Deepster?

Our first hanging was 23 years ago.

Imagine a "key employee", with a career (no matter how spotty) spanning 23 years, announcing his retirement by suddenly saying, "I won't be in, today. Or any future day, for that matter."

Who does that?

 

[kobebeanbryant]

i think we need to let señor lie. he did his work.

rehashing it will only cheapen his legacy.

How about Mr. Hankey, a la the Hurley poop socks?

See you at Skinners rooftop soirée. Wear your Tampa orange. And for the record all of those Twitter yahoos will be there together. And that’s my point.

organized a bus trip.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

We should hang you for opening the door for this thread to go down that tangent. Have some sense of decorum.

Hang me? Go ahead.

I have no mojo.

While I will readily admit I have no authority (and deserve none) when it comes to this I believe that you are correct here. Senhor did his job, trying to tap into it again shows both a lack of vision and a lack of reverence for what he did for us.

 

[Waquoit]

That's nuts.

Not in the least. I say we sack up and win it all!
