Comment: meeting 10 'yarders. I've met some of the most despicable people here, but in person they're some of the nicest I've met over the years.

I honestly can't say one way or the other, so I didn't want to give myself credit. I suppose I may have had a RR on a gameday in 2000-2001 when I was a poor law student who still drank crappy beer . As for wings, any consumption was purely coincidental.

You reinforce the virtue in scoring myself strictly, and props for noting the elders bias, though that just calls for a different word than "hard" in the title. The credibility of a high scorer making this point strengthens us all.

I have to think about the ten names. Fishy, Deepster, Swami (does he count), AugustWest, Pepband99, SportsArt, palatine, whaler11 (only because he posted it in a thread at one point), nomar, calluke, CitrusDog, HuskyNan. I'm sure there are others . . .

I know well over ten names, some of them even put it in their handles!

 

[Excalibur]

No I know who Leticia Basketballdridge is

Tom you must know this.

 

[MattMang23]

5. And that’s like 4.5 too many for my liking.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I'll be the first person to admit I got a big fat 0. I think never winning a Bronze filigree award hurts the most.

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.

 

[The Funster]

16 for me and was once a runner up for a filigree.

Has little to do with how hard you yard and more to do with how old you are. Wasn’t posting on the yard when I was in 5th grade. SORRY

 

[The Funster]

I started posting on the yard when I was 2. Child prodigy and all that...

 

[CL82]

Yes I contributed to the main Senhor Testiculo thread.

By contributed, do you mean threatened to shutdown?

Actually I know your largess on that thread was a hassle for you and probably cost you money. Still well worth it for the mojo.

You should be.

Not my problem, young blood.

there are like 4 guys with mike or matt in their handle...

I'm old and scored a 0. Oh well. I would fly in to golf if there was another BYC. I've eaten wings during a game but that was because I like to eat wings. I was on the Courant chat that Dom Amore used to host. I went up to him courtside and introduced myself when he was out here for a UConn/DePaul game. That chat ceased to exist not long after that. Hmm. I'm going to give myself three 1/2 pts for a revised total of 1 1/2. Not too shabby.

I have 2 cook books written by @zymurg

Shut up, Dove.

Sweet, I’m up to 5 now.

It seemed disingenuous to count those. Plus I'd have to admit that I've met uconnbill . . ..

Aren't there three with 11, or is that just a Spinal Tap reference?

I'm thinking you meant sorry (not sorry), or at least should have.

I’m (not) mad about his criteria.

And one with Phil. Who is actually Mike.

 

[Peacefrog]

17 or 18. My memory is failing me on one of them.

Yeah, but my name is actually Peter.
