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!

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. :(

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.

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.

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.
